YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Casting Thoughts? — Page 2

"Yeah, Bernadette might be good as Elizabeth. But the fact that she is around 60 makes me think that her chances are not all that good."

She's 57 and played Annie Oakley at 51. On stage, it's pretty easy to age her down a bit with that kewpie doll face and as long as her character age balances somewhat to that of Frankentein, then it really doesn't matter. They just need to appear as an engaged couple. I don't remember their ages being mentioned in the film.

I think for Dr. Frankenstein, Matthew would be an excellent choice. But can't you just see Raul devouring this roll?

I don't know if he'd take second fiddle anymore but Raul would also make an excellent Eyegore.

I could also see Tom Hewitt as a possible successor for Broderick as the Doctor.

Brad Garret is perfect casting for The Monster. And I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned but, Elaine Stritch for Frau! Come on it would be hilarious, I don't care how old she is! Debra Monk would also be great in that roll.
