The Results Are In: Recast Big

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 16:03:01 PDT

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, 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!

I could watch Big ten times over and never get sick of it. If it had to be recast today, though, I certainly wouldn't mind watching many of the casts you all submitted. In particular, I liked the lists that added some racial diversity to the cast, like bluebutterfly's list that includes all black actors, as well as some of the ideas for MacMillan's role, such as lilpoofkin's idea of Bernie Mac and Amers230's pick of Morgan Freeman.

I also loved the idea of casting Tom Hanks' own son, Colin, in the role he made so memorable, as suggested by lilpoofkin (he's even around the same age as Tom Hanks was when Big was made!), and I enjoyed blondie829's idea to cast Zachary Levi (of the upcoming show "Chuck").

Finally, the ideas for the role of Susan were really interesting, like the popular choice of Katherine Heigl, as well as LikeATiger29's pick of Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Livience's suggestion of Anne Hathaway.

Overall, though, my favorite list this week comes from faerymagick15! To see who faerymagick15 cast, along with a new cast photo,

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, 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!

As one of my favorite movies of my youth, Big is close to my heart, and will be a tough one to recast! But if you could cast this film now with new actors, who would you choose for the little and big versions of Josh? What about Josh's best buddy Billy Kopecki or his womanly love interest Susan? Let's include the owner of the toy company, MacMillan, with whom the big Josh has that memorable piano-playing scene in FAO Schwartz.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, September 18, complete with a "new" cast photo. To see a list of characters to recast and a photo of the BuzzSugar t-shirt,

Friday Morning Musical Interlude!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 02:02:00 PDT

This morning's interlude is inspired by Tom Hank's classic film Big. Remember that memorable movie moment when Tom made music with his feet on an oversized walking keyboard in FAO Schwarz? The actor was nowhere near as skillful in that scene as these dudes are in the following clip, so you're in for a treat! (Thanks, College Humor!)

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Show PDA at Her Exclusive Birthday Bash

Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:32:56 PST

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux embraced on the balcony of the Chateau Marmont in LA during Jennifer's 43rd birthday party on Saturday. The couple kissed and hugged when they weren't chatting with friends or sitting down to eat. We're used to seeing Jennifer in a bikini around this time of year, but it looks like she's making new traditions with her man Justin. There was no shortage of pals on hand to toast Jennifer, though, since Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, Christine Taylor, and Courteney Cox were among the guests spotted at the event.
The celebratory weekend kicked off on Friday, when Jennifer and Justin met a friend for dinner. Their fun will continue on Valentine's Day tomorrow since Jennifer and Justin are set to premiere their new movie, Wanderlust, in LA. The comedy doesn't hit theaters until next week, but Jennifer is already apparently lining up her next big screen project with rumors that she'll star in the best friend drama Miss You Already.

There was so much going down onstage at last night's Grammy Awards, it was easy to miss the stars mingling backstage and out in the audience. Adele was the evening's big winner with six statues, but it seems like Paul McCartney was the recipient of the most popular honor. He doled out kisses to wife Nancy Shevell, but other musicians were all about getting face time with Macca. See who else rubbed shoulders at the Grammys and make sure to weigh in with your thoughts on the show's fashions with our love it or hate it polls!

Allie Merriam — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:45:14 PST

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took their children Suri and Connor out to dinner in LA last night. They skipped out on all the happenings at the Grammys, instead choosing to focus on family over a meal at Bouchon Bakery. Tom's home in LA again after finishing up work on One Shot. He's now gearing up to shoot We Mortals Are with director Doug Liman. Another of Tom's projects, Oblivion, is moving forward with production as well, having added Morgan Freeman to the cast. This will be a big month for the Cruise-Holmes clan. Katie and Tom, one of Hollywood's cutest couples, are looking forward to their latest Valentine's Day together tomorrow. He's also gearing up for a return to the Oscars, where he'll be a presenter, on Feb. 26.
