And Tudyk and Glass cannot or do not sign for reasons that may or may not make any kind of sense. . .

Who would YOU like to see in those roles? Who would 'ease the pain' so to speak?

Me. . .

Seth Green as Wash and Morgan Freeman as Book.

Static, good to hear from you

Green is funny and freeman is a great actor, but I need Alan/Ron.

Seth is too young looking to play wash. Morgan Freeman would make a great Book, but would cost way to much to do the part. The budget is said to be around $35 million and Mr Freeman would demand a sizable chunk of that to take the role.

I would rather have Alan and Ron, unless as you said they could not commit for one reason or another.

Personally, just kicking around the idea, I think Owen Wilson would make a good Wash. For Book I like Morgan Freeman in the role.

Hang on - are we hearing that Alan and Ron are playing the maybe game? 'cause what happened to Alan's gesture of giving Joss the big button and saying "when you get your miricel hit it and we'll come running" or whatever the correctly spelled line was.

Okay, I can get with Morgan Freeman as Book, but my take on Owen Wilson is Ewwww! Ick! (Not that I have any better ideas... Alan just IS Wash.)

Seth Green is a wonderful actor and a total cutie; however, I would point out that Gina Torres is an awesome 5'10" and Seth is 5'4". This would add a comic element to the mix that the mix don't need.

Well I can't see anyone as Wash or Book. BUT if there were to be difrent actors as them I would like to see new actors as them, people who havent been in much so my vison of them isn't clouded by their other work.

No no no . . .they're not 'toying' with anything. . .we've just not heard for certain that they've signed. . .they might be in some sort of obligation they can't get out of. This MIGHT be why it'll be winter 2005 before we see the movie. Dunno. I was just toying with the notion, is all.

Yeah- Seth Green's too young, but I'm not sure about Owen Wilson- He's funny, but he's just too laid back I think- You'd have to find someone totally new for that role I think, an undiscovered actor perhaps-
Morgan Freeman would make a great Book-

He looked bigger when I couldn't see him.

My notion is that if, horror of horrors, neither of them can be in the flick, the story should just work around their temporary absence. For Zoe, it would create some dramatic tension, what with her husband off to do whatever he has to do (and some fun friction with their temp pilot for Not Being Wash). Book could be at the abbey. Worked for Ariel, it could work for the BDM. We might even work in some flashbacks from the series (the difference between the TV and film formats could be disguised with filtering, a la "Out Of Gas," to good visual effect). Indeed, the notion of Mal actually missing Book in times of tribulation would be a cool ironical twist, and could provide another level of his Loss Of faith arc.

Recasting the parts has an air of finality, in that re-re-casting for subsequent ventures would make the Darren Stevens/Roseanne's daughter debacles pale by comparison.

In short, Ron and Alan's absence --while it would be very keenly felt-- would not be a show-stopper, and recasting the roles would not be necessary, IMHO. They can just come back for the next BDM (/series!!).

Keep flyin'!
