So my bro-in-law made a few posts were he took an animated film and picked actors for each character as if he were to make it a live-action film. I love this idea, so I've decided to do this with Sleeping Beauty.
First of all, I would make Kherington Payne from Fame my Aurora
Basically, I chose her cause she has that million dollar smile. I don't know if she acts that well cause I've never seen Fame, but I know she can dance and perform. In the original story of Sleeping Beauty, there are actually seven fairies, and one of the other gifts given to Aurora was the gift of dance. So...there you go. Singing can always be computerized and what-not, so that doesn't matter too much. Again, the main reason is that she is just beautiful and full of life (as Aurora should be)
Prince Phillip I chose James McAvoy
For Prince Phillip, I needed a semi-young actor who could act incredibly charming. This is James all the way. He is gorgeous and is no stranger to being the man of every girl's dream.
Malificent would be Maggie Gyllenhaal
I always thought Maggie would be an excellent villain. She's got the attitude, and she could totally pull off the wickedness of Maleficent. Plus, with such a strong character like Maggie, Maleficent would be more humanized and involved with the story; which I think is a must for a live-action remake.
The three good Fairies
Flora - Emma Thompson Fauna - Shirley MacLain Merryweather-Liza Minnelli
I don't want to explain this one too much. Mainly, I just think this would be a hilarious match-up of actresses.
King Stefan - No Clue. Anyone. I don't care.
The Other King Hubert - Phillip Seymour Hoffman
I couldn't find anyone specifically who I would want to play King Stefan, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman is my favorite actor, and so I chose him to be king Hubert. King Hubert is a very small role, but he is a difficult character to play because he is always switching from happiness to anger. Hoffman is so great at everything he does, so why now this.
i love this jess!!! now i really want it to be a real live movie with all these actors!!
