A question for the board.. (long) - Karithna - 07-26-2011
How about this:
Justin Timberlake as Jack
Christina Aguilera as Gia
Jack Black as Abe
Kal Penn as Kusum

I'll repeat Edward Norton for Jack and Charlize Theron for Gia. I also just thought of Richard Riehle (with a beard) as Abe. And maybe Kim Kardashian as Kolbati.

Sounds real good! Let's all the gang kick in for pre-production.
I can contribute--let's see what Ah's got here--
One American dollar and 72 cents!
What soul who craves a cameo will double it??!?

Oh, y'all are terrible. Reading those casts makes me wince.

I think Reshma Shetty (who plays Divya on "Royal Pains") would make an excellent Kolabati.

I originally thought this was a joke. The more I thought about it, I'm thinking "what if you protray them all as younger?" Kal Penn could play a deranged indian. He kinda has that look, but he'd have to grow a beard. (Kusum did have a beard, right?)

You said "younger" and now I can only think "Repairman Jack BABIES".

I think a Jack series would work out. USA likes anti-heroes although Jack would probably need to be on something like HBO for the rougher stuff.
Jack - Matt Damon? Jack's taller and leaner, but I think that's nitpicking. I think Ed Norton is a good choice as well. He can seem tough but doesn't have those over the top good looks like DiCaprio or a young Tom Selleck. Jack's not supposed to be a pretty boy. I don't doubt that women who are Jack fans imagine him as more handsome than F. Paul Wilson describes (what about it ladies. do you think of Jack as a hottie?).
This is one where casting can think out of the box. Bruce Willis wasn't a tough guy before Die Hard (remember Moonlighting) and Michael Keaton pulled off Batman. In fact a young Michael Keaton could have been Jack. He has a disarming charm and an edgy side (Pacific Heights, The Dream Team).
Gia - Scarlett Johansson. Keira Knightley's a Brit but should could be Gia. Chalize Theron also a good choice. She played the vunerable wife in Devil's Advocate and the scary psycho Aileen Wuornos in Monster.
Abe - David Lipman. The actor who plays one of the arraignment judges on Law and Order. He has that wry NYC Jewish humor (or is that NYC Jewish Rye humor?)
Kusum - I tempted to agree about Kal Penn for Kusum but I'm afraid his sense of humor would come through and Kusum an arrogant putz and Penn is too Westernized.
Kolabati - Freida Pinto from Slumdog millionaire.
Truthfully there are so many actors in Bollywood finding the Bahkti siblings shouldn't be a problem.
