JOHN MCCAIN Speaking of white hair, Richard Dreyfuss has got about as much of it as John McCain. He's have to leave Mr. Holland at home and bring some snarl, but the old guy's got it in him.
CINDY MCCAIN Joan Allen is blond like Cindy McCain, too-skinny-for-her-age like Cindy McCain, and has the serious acting chops to show that underneath Cindy's Stepford-Wife-y exterior lies a woman with some dark secrets. Oooooh!
OPRAH WINFREY Are Oprah Winfrey and Alfre Woodard friends? They should be; they seem like they could get along.
REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT Morgan Freeman looks nothing like Rev. Wright, but he has such a warm, fatherly quality about him — he could make you understand why a guy with a lot to lose would stick by him to the detriment of his political career.
I thought you were right on abut everyone EXCEPT ANGELA BASSETT as Michelle. Since Will would be playing Obama, Angela looks much older than him and would throw off the look.
I think Kimberly Elise would be great as Michelle. Kimberly's stature, beauty and of course acting skills is a great match with Will.
just my 2 cents! LOL
I think you are right on with this!!! I especially think Joan Allen as Cindy McCain is just right!
Ellen Barkin as Cindy McCain.
I think you need a reverend to play Rev Wright. They're… extra. No resemblance, but TD Jakes seems to have dabbled in acting.
Meh. Don't know about Will though.
I think Harry Lennix would make for a convincing Barack
Daria Ellen Barkin should play Hillary. Ellen has spunk and a toughness about her. Glen comes off a bit soft to me.
Alfre Woodard would kill it as Oprah
Very ironic Lazarus, considering he is a Clinton supporter. lol
I say Jill Marie Jones (Toni from Girlfriends) as Michelle Obama because Angela would be too old by the time we would make the movie
Kerry Washington would also be a great Michelle Obama
Ugh @ Will Smith playing EVERY Black man. *smh*
How bout Conan OBrien (since whitefolk love to cast unlikely whitefolk as Black people.) SMH
I would like Dwayne "Rock" Johnson to play him. They really have the same exact voice tone, charisma and positive mannerisms. Dwayne is trying to get more serious roles, so this could be the perfect role for him.
OMG this casting would be hilariously perfect! I totally see Hillary as Glen close. Richard Gere is much better looking than Bill but I could believe him being an adulterer. I love angela but I'm thinking someone like Teresa Randal, would look more like Michelle, but Angela would give an amazing performance. Yeah, Will would be perfect as Obama.
They're all spot on except I'll put Regina King for Michelle Obama and like Lazaraz, I'll go for Harry Lennix for Barack Obama. Will Smith may bring the box office power but Lennix will bring the character alive.
I think Kimberly Elise would make a great Michelle Obama, I love Angela Bassett but I think Kimberly would be more suited for the role.
Why can't Oprah play oprah?
How about Jamie foxx for Obama?
and Regina King as his wife
I think the perfect choice for the castin of Obama is…..HILL HARPER. Not to put Will Smith down, but I think that Hill will bring his dynamic vocals to Barack's character. He has almost identical features and his smile. REGINA KING or KERRY WASHINGTON could play for Michelle's role.
Morgan Freeman didn't pop into my head at first, but now that I think about it, it's a perfect casting choice.
Who'd would play Sarah Palin? - Tina Fey of Course. Joe Biden…. maybe Steve Carrell, (make him look older).
