Below are Debie's thoughts on Red Mountain's cast. I love her ideas. What do you think? Can Woody do an English accent? Amy Adams as Margot, that could work! Angelina as Carmen, yes, please. My fave of Debie's picks is Andy Garcia as Remi. He's a one-of-a-kind actor. Would Margot be attracted to him? I think he's handsome but what do I know? You tell me. And Jack Black as Bellflour… I can see it. Reply back with your ideas and maybe I'll share them in the next newsletter.
Otis: Woody Harrelson
Joan: Mary Steenburgen
Jake: Kevin Bacon
Carmen: Angelina Jolie
Aunt Morgan: Susan Sarandon
Margo: Amy Adams
Abby: Jennifer Lawrence
Remi: Andy Garcia
Brooks and Shay: Real life brothers Casey and Ben Affleck
Adrianna: Ana de Armas (from Knives Out)
Jasper: Adam Yoder (a very gifted young pianist - he can learn to act and will be a natural!)
Elijah: Freddy Rodriguez (from Bottle Shock - he knows how to act in a winery)
Harry Bellflour: This can ONLY be Jack Black
Chris Pine needs to be in there somewhere. And since this is an all star cast, let's let Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson be Brooks's and Shay's parents.
Thank you, Debie, for getting my wheels spinning.
