I don't know why, but I imagined Scot47 more along the lines of Walter Matthau in that movie "Grumpy Old Men"

What about Merryl Sreep as Rhonda Place? She could drag out that old Ozzie accent a la Lindy Chaimberlain in "Evil Angels" again ( I think that's what the movie was called)

Madonna as Jen2003? Where is she by the way? The China Forum is not the same without her.

Ewan MacGregor (a la Trainspotting ) as Freaky Deaky ?

As for the plot .... Question

That was pretty clever. I had to research Bill Paxton, but he seems like a good choice to play me.

Well, I suppose the great Mr. Connery is the obvious choice to portray scot47 and perhaps the best, but Russell Crowe has a certain fierceness that would work well in the role.

Forget casting for a minute, though -- who's going to direct? Jackson, Spielberg, Lucas, Weir, Coppola, Watters, Almodovar, Eastwood, Burton, the Cohen Brothers...so many choices. I guess it depends on whether this is a comedy, drama, mystery, romance, or farce. Maybe all of the above.

I'll take his looks, but I think I can act better (not saying much).

In light of certain events, I think only Clint Eastwood could play Johnslat.
