I think they would be perfect Father-Son characters. I mean, we're talking about a 30-year age difference. Nathan was born in March, 1971. Harrison was born July, 1942.
Could they even be considered as equal replacements?

Here's a Succatash Prediction:
May 23, 2003 -- Memorial Day.
Nathon Fillion will one day star as Harrison Ford in the autobiography entitled, "He was a Replicant After All."
Oh, it's coming, trust me.

I spent way to much time on this, but here is my list possibles:
Jayne -Ice Tea/Russell Crowe/ Vin Diesel
MAl- James Morrison/Sean Bean/Christian Bale
Inara- Catherine Zeta Jones/ Elizabeth Hurley Lara Flynn Boyle
River-Natlie Portman-- maybe..not so much
simon-Orlando bloom/Joaquin Phoenix
Book-Ben Kingsley/Ed Harris
Wash - Brendon Fraser/ Owen Wilson
Zoe- Carrie-ann Moss/Michell Yeoh
Kaylee- Alysson Hannigan/Heather Graham
Hugh Jackman fits as Mal,Jayne and Wash and a few more ways that I will not mention.
River: The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems.
Mal: See, morbid and creep-ifying I got no problem with, long as she does it quiet-like.

Quote:I agree entirely. But more than that I really doubt it's going to be an "all-star cast". In fact, I don't think it will be an "any star cast". I wouldn't be surprised if none of the current cast were replaced at all.

Why? Because Joss has been burned by the industry far too many times. And I really doubt he'll do the movie unless he gets cast approval. Since Joss will choose the cast, he'll pick the existing cast. If one or two members can't make it, I suspect he won't even re-cast them. He'll just write the character out and replace them with a new character. In addition, I've read interviews with the Mutant Enemy staff concerning re-casting. They laughed at the thought, I suspect it's sacrilege to them and I don't see it happening. Further, doing the movie without any "big stars" will drop the budget significantly.
My prediction: If there are going to be any "Stars" in the Firefly movie, they'll be cast as Big Bad's that haven't been previously introduced. Big stars often love a chance to play the bad guy.

Oh that was fun, but incredibly hard to do!
My picks are:
Mal - Ray Liotta
River - Tina Majorino (girl from Waterworld)
Simon - Joaquin Phoenix
Book - Sidney Poitier
Inara - Angelina Jolie
Jayne - Vin Diesel
Kaylee - Kate Hudson
Wash - Seth Green
Zoe - Halle Berry (I don't like this pick I made at all. Gina Torres just IS Zoe and I couldn't think of anyone comparable, or at least near enough in age to Seth Green. Hehe)

Okay,,, here goes
Mal = Richard Simmons (nods to Succatash for casting genius)
River = Cher
Simon = Neil Patrick Harris
Book = Abe Vigoda
Inara = Rhea Perlman
Jayne = Wallace Shawn
Kaylee = Fran Drescher
Wash = Richard Dreyfus
Zoe = Bret Butler
I think this would make for a very interesting cast.

It is hard to think of someone else playing those characters.....I'll have to ponder on it for a while before I answer.

Nope. Sorry guys, I tried. I really did. But I just can't see anyone but the original actors doing those characters. Just by being different people they would change the parts too much.
The speculation can be fun, but when it come down to picking the people for each part none of them could do our characters. All I get is 'so and so could come close to Mal, whozits might be okay for Kaylee, that guy could play a Jayne-ish character.' But that's as close as I come and it's just not good enough. I'm spoiled and stubborn and only our actors can do our characters right. And they so deserve to be right. I'll just have to have fun reading all your choices. :)

This is fun!
Perhaps after Enterprise flops over at Star Trek, Inc. they can remake the original series into a new weekly series. Berman and Co. can blend actual episode remakes with original scripts and recast Kirk, Spock, McCoy, et al with hot young Hollywood up and comers.
Can't wait for all of the old Klingons of the '60s to finally look like the Klingons of the '80s & '90s!
