Yeah, He's certainly tough, no doubt about it. Doesn't he hold the record for losing the most matches WITHOUT actually being knocked down or knocked out? I know he holds a record for something that has to do with being an unpunishable fighting machine.

I'm not sure what records he holds. But the fight he had with Larry Holmes caused Howard Cosell to stop announcing boxing matches, and boxing councils to no longer sanction 15 round bouts.

A really out there like try,

Book - Clint Eastwood

Wash - Will Smith

Jayne - Vin Diesel

Mal - Val Kilmer

Inara - Claire Danes

Kaylee - Sandra Bullock

Zoe - Angelina Jolie

River - Amber Benson

and some others

Badger - Johnny Depp

Niska - Gene Hackman

I do think the original cast shouldn't be messed with, but hey....

I am still having a mental blank with Simon,

I did think of James Masters, more from his Northern Exposure role than Spike from Buffy.

He is a tough one...

I said it myself, it's tough to come up with them. I do like Clint Eastwood as Book, though. Pale Rider was a great movie, not as good as The Outlaw Josie Wales, but still a great movie.

You know who else wouldn't be bad as Book? Gene Hackman. Didn't he play an ass-wooping preacher in something?

Viva Firefly!

I love Gene Hackman too,

but I like him best when he plays the bad guy,
really carries that type of role well.

Josie Wales is one of my favs

I was picturing Clint from Unforgiven, the part where he is soaking wet, it from the rain and looks across the table at a bottle of whisky and starts to shake. Timeless...

Yeah, that shaking scene is pretty damn good.

I liked the part when he was walking through the whore-house that he had just cleaned out and shot that wounded guy in the stomach at point blank range for simply laying on the ground, moaning. THAT is something you don't see a hero do too often in movies. Boy, that catches you by surprise and leaves you blinking at the TV screen.

Come to think of it. Morgan Freeman would make a pretty good Book.

Viva Firefly!

I thought Morgan Freeman was the best part of Bruce Almighty, looked like he was having fun playing God.

" You just shot an unarmed man "

" Well... he should have armed himself, if he was going to decorate his bar with my friend "

Very hard to think of anyone else in that role.

Maybe Clint could be Mal's long lost pappy...

Dislike of gov'mints

Affinity for firearms

hmmmmmmm

Morgan Freeman could definitely play book.
I know Angelina Jolie was suggested (in this thread as Zoe) but I think she could play either Inar or Kaylee too.
What about Sigourney Weaver as Zoe? Definitely fits the mold as a "Warrior Woman."
