 Re: If you could recast.. In Hayden's defense, I am not sure any actors could save the lines he was forced to say.
Sir John Gielgud could not sell Anakin's I-hate-sand-it-is-so-coarse soliloquy.

Re: If you could recast.. I thought Hayden did a fine job. You don't exactly watch a Star Wars movie for the Oscar-level acting. Mark Hamill anyone..

Re: If you could recast.. The prequels needed a Han Solo type figure. Ewan McGregor tried his best, but still.
So many of Anakin's scenes are, "But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!" on speed.

Re: If you could recast.. The lines in ROTS are infamous bad really...
"He killed the Younglings!!"
"Oh the child is yours, I am soo sorry"
"You were my brother Anakin!!!!!!!!!"
"nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!"
However, the action and story is still enough to make it a B+ film.
About Kingdom of Heaven...
Imagine someone like Viggo Moritison or somone with real acting abilities...
Imagine that with all the great amazing secondary characters.
Kingdom of Heaven had some flaws but the entire cast was amazing overall.

Sir John Gielgud could not sell the Anakin's I-hate-sand-it-is-so-coarse soliloquy. This. See Natalie Portman. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Re: If you could recast.. Darth Indiana Bond wrote: I think Leo was who Lucas originally wanted. I wonder how that would have gone? Leo was the first choice but he turned it down. And yeah he would have been my choice now. Probably, only would have happened if the film had a different director.

Re: If you could recast.. Maria de Medeiros in Pulp Fiction. Maybe it was the segment that I hate and not her, but she grated on me immensely as Butch's girlfriend.
