I think you'll agree after you read these choices that everyone is replaceable.

Barnabas:  Bob Newhart
Julia:  Anna Nicole Smith
Willie:   Max von Sydow
Roger:  Pauley Shore
Elizabeth:   Janene Garofilo
David:  Abe Vigoda
Elliot Stokes:   Tom Arnold
Burke:  Richard Simmons
Quentin:   John Cleese
Mrs. Johnson:  Martin Sheen

With the possible exceptions of Bob Newhart, Max Von Sydow, and Abe Vigoda, it looks like the next chapter of VH1's Celebreality. XD

LMAO!!  THIS would be something to behold.  Someone should do a Collinsport Players parody along these lines.

Richard Simmons as Burke?!  [shockeyes]

Would he be wearing shorts and a tank top with or without a sport coat?  [wink2]

You know, that's interesting because I've heard for years that Depp actually *wanted* to play Barnbas.  He's apparently a big DS fan.

Johnny Depp is the only guy I'd ever watch as a Barnabas recast but ... though he doesn't really look the part - Alan Rickman would stir my interest as Barnabas also.

That's an interesting choice in light of the role he played in Galaxy Quest.

Nicholson as Jason Mcguire and Crispin Glover as Willie... that's just inspired.   Jack N could milk that like crazy.   These are the only real choices.  It's decided.

I don't know, how about Martin Landau as Barnabas?

You know Gary Oldman as Barnabas made my ears stand up.  He was Dracula in Francis Ford Coppola's "Bran Stoker's Dracula". [blackbat]

Those tinted glasses, the hair, the minute he talks, I just give him a piece of my heart. [love5].

 Either one of them would be a really good Barnabas.  I've mentioned Rickman before as Barnabas.  His Harry Potter character, Snape, kinda reminds me of Barn in some ways.  Johnny Depp would be great as Barn too, but I can almost see him more as Quentin.  I think he'd make a great, dangerous and charismatic Quentin.  For Angelique, I'd go with Cate Blanchett.  She's an excellent actress.

    Oh and if I could pick from any period in film history - Karloff as Barnabas might have been pretty darn cool.  Boris could be both scary and sympathetic.

I like these choices, except for Haley Joel, he's too old, he's 17 now.  If they'd made it when he was 10, okay.  ;)

I too could see Depp as Quentin!  Never thought about it before until you mentioned it, but he'd be great as Quentin.  I understand that if the 1990 series had gone on that Adrian Paul was slated to play Quentin.  That was an excellant choice too.

I also agree w/Julianka7 about Rickman playing Nicholas, that is inspired!   [hall2_wink]
