Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge [1], where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
Before we get to the recast results, did you see that the houseboat featured in Sleepless in Seattle is now for sale [2]? You could live out your own Sleepless in Seattle!
As for the recast lists themselves, this week posed a serious challenge in choosing just one list as the winner. Most of all, I loved so many of the Sam-Annie pairings. Some of my favorites include Mari_Sofi [3]'s idea of Hugh Jackman and Elizabeth Banks, sweetrae80 [4]'s adorable suggestion of James McAvoy and Jenna Fischer, jopperma [5]'s pairing of James Marsden with Keri Russell, cleegiants [6]' coupling of Matthew Perry and Lauren Graham and the Lee Pace-Jennifer Garner combo that sfmastiffmom [7] suggested.
There were many great Becky ideas as well, like ChrissyBaby [8]'s Leah Remini (perfect!), alethe16 [9]'s idea to cast Angela Kinsey and supertramp [10]'s suggestion of Melissa McCarthy (Sookie is ever the best best friend!). Finally, I have to say I loved the suggestion of Sarah Chalke playing Annie, as put forth by leeluvfashion [11]. Such great ideas!
Since I did have to pick just one, however, I finally went with kateymarie [12]'s recast list. Congrats, kateymarie! To see who she chose, along with new cast photos, .
