The Princess Bride - Modern actors

Finrod Felagund · 02-07-2003, 12:27 PM

My brother had to read a novel and make a movie poster based on the novel for english class. He did the Princess Bride and made the movie post with modern actors as the characters. So this thread is to list present day, age appropriate avctors to play in the Princess Bride. Here's the list me, my dad and my brother came up with for the poster.

Wesley = Brad Pitt
Buttercup = Reese Witherspoon
Inigo Montoya = Antonio Banederras (sp?)
Fezzik = Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid)
Vizzini = Martin Short
Prince Humperdinck = Mel Gibson
Count Rugen = Alan Rickman
Miracle Max = Michael Myers

Who would you use?

I don't get it, is it for if they made another movie? cause most of the actors that played in it are still alive. I think the only one that died was Andre the Giant (spl?)

most of the those are actors i'd use. I can't remember who some of the people are though so i don't know who'd i'd use to play them.

I agree with everything up untill there. I cant picture these people in those parts. And what about The Albino? I think they would have to get totally unknown people to do this movie if they ever did a remake, although I'm doubtful a remake would ever be as good as the original.

I thought Alan Rickman would be the perfect count Rugen
