Entry for challenge #06: cinema recast at film_land

A brief introduction: I love this movie and the cast is more than perfect. Anyway, I wanted to prove my skills in a thing that I liked very much and so... this is the result! :)

Arrogant, self-centered movie director Guido Contini finds himself struggling to find meaning, purpose, and a script for his latest film endeavor. With only a week left before shooting begins, he desperately searches for answers and inspiration from his wife, his mistress, his muse, and his mother. As his chaotic profession steadily destroys his personal life, Guido must find a balance between creating art and succumbing to its obsessive demands.

Robert Downey Jr. as Guido Contini | Original character played by Daniel Day-Lewis
- He is a famous film director -

I want to be young, and I want to be
 Old.
 I would like to be wise before my time
 And yet be foolish and brash and bold.
 I would like the universe to get down
 On it's knees
 And say, "Guido, whatever you please,
 It's okay. Even if it's impossible, we'll
 Arrange it."
 That's all that I want.

Emmy Rossum as Luisa Contini | Original character played by Marion Cotillard
- She was a young actress. She's Guido's wife -

Once the names were Guido Contini,
 Luisa Del Forno,
 Actress with dreams and a life of her
 Own,
 Passionate, wild and in love on Livorno,
 Singing with Guido all night on the
Phone.
 Long ago, someone else ago, how he
Needs me so,
 And he'll be the last to know it.
 
Eva Green as Carla | Original character played by Penelope Cruz
- She is Guido's mistress -

I was lazing around my bedroom
 When an idea occured to me I thought you might be
 Wondering about.
 Guido...
 Who's not wearing any clothes?
 I'm not, my darling.

Charlize Theron as Claudia Nardi | Original character played by Nicole Kidman
- She's a famous actress and Guido's muse -

In a very unusual way, I owe what I am to you.
 Though at times it appears I won't stay, I never go.
 Special to me in my life,
Since the first day that I met you.
 How could I ever forget you,
Once you had touched my soul?
 In a very unusual way,
 You've made me whole.

Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Necrophuros | Original character played by Kate Hudson
- She is an opinionated film critic for Vogue magazine -

I love the black & white
 I love the play of light
 The way Contini puts his image through a prism
 I feel my body chill
 Gives me a special thrill
 Each time I see that Guido neo-realism

E' stato un po' difficile scegliere nuovi attori per questo film, anche perchè gli originali sono perfetti! :D
Sono contenta che il risultato finale ti è piaciuto, grazie tante! :D

In effetti sembra piuttosto difficile scegliere una volta che hai già un cast, ma hai fatto davvero un ottimo lavoro e se gli attori fossero stati questi avrebbero reso benissimo!

[lady_turner]

Awww, grazie! :3

Direi che Emmy è perfetta per quel ruolo, anche se Robert mi sembra troppo tosto per lei. Eva è la più azzeccata di tutti, la vedo molto pazza, proprio come l'originale. E poi Katherine, beh lei sta bene ovunque. Bellissimi picspam, l'ultimo mi piace proprio tanto.

Grazie per i tuoi commenti dettagliati!
Vabbè, per Emmy sono tutti tosti, anche Keanu Reeves è troppo sveglio per lei! XD
