Ever wonder what a movie or TV show would be like if you could be the casting director? Well, now's your chance. Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, we'll be posting a Recast challenge, where we'll ask you to recast a classic TV show or movie for these modern times.
This week's challenge: The legendary 1942 film Casablanca. I know, I know: No one can do it like Bogey, but if you had to recast the movie with new actors in the roles originated by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains, who would you cast? Cate Blanchett as Isla? Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capt. Renault? Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, Dec. 19, complete with a "new" cast photo.
Characters to recast:
Rick Blaine
Ilsa Lund
Capt. Renault
Koah
Ray-Ban
Schiesser
Rick Blaine - Ben Affleck
1Ilsa Lund - Kate Winslet
Capt. Renault - Stanley Tucci
Ilsa Lund - CATE BLANCHET - i LOVE her! she is one of the few actresses out there with the style and class for this role...
2Rick - George Clooney
3Ilsa - Cate Blanchett
Capt. Renault - Jean Reno
Rick - Clive Owen
Ilsa - Nicole Kidman
Capt. Renault - Jean Reno (he's perfect)
Living in L.A., however, I must add who the studios would inevitably cast in these roles if given the opportunity (prepare to choke on your own vomit):
Rick - Heath Ledger
4Ilsa - Kate Bosworth
Capt. Renault - Queen Latifah
I definetly agree with Fergie Ferg. George Clooney and Cate Blanchett would be perfect.

6Rick: David Straitharn
7Ilsa: Audry Tatou
Capt. Renault. Tom Cruise (just kidding!) Peter Krause
oops Kidman
8You HAVE to consider Debra Messing for Ingrid Bergman. Compare pictures of the two - they look remarkably similar!!! And even though we know Debra for her comedy, she can do sad, down-turned eyes reall well.
9George Clooney would make a great Rick. Cate Blancett for Ilsa and Brad Pitt would make a good Capt Renault
10Rick: George Clooney
Ilsa: Scarlett jo!
Capt: Antonio Banderas
Captain Louis Renault:
11"Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the romantic in me."
I totally agree.. Scar Jo for Isla!! So old school glamour!
Rick: Clooney
12Isla: Scarlett
Capt: Jean Reno
Ilsa: Cate Blanchett
13Rick: Daniel Day Lewis
Capt. Renault: Jim Broadbent
Rick Blaine - Val Kilmer
14Ilsa Lund - Angelina Jolie
Capt. Renault - Pierce Brosnan
