Which Roles Actors Want to Play?

We usually write about the actors who have joined some project, or who are still in negotiations, or are set to star in some movie…

This time we'll just say, they are all interested! But that still doesn't mean they're signed on. That just means we're here to have a little chat about their possible roles, and they, (according to Pajiba) are:

Legendary Dustin Hoffman, who is interested in playing the crime boss in The Contortionist's Handbook.

The film already stars Channing Tatum as “a forger who moves smoothly from one identity to the next because of a strict code of conduct that keeps him from getting caught or having to deal with his own troubled past. That gets upended when he falls for a beautiful woman with her own dark secret.”

Let's continue with Robert Downey Jr. who is reportedly interested in starring in the The $40,000 Man, written by Terry Zwigoff and re-written by John Francis Daley, the story that will follow “a legendary astronaut and ‘true American hero,' who is horribly injured in a car crash and is rebuilt by the government to be a bionic man but on a budget of $40,000 – which makes him not that bionic.”

Natalie Portman is interested in playing “edgy” Snow White in Brett Ratner and Relativity Media's The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. Ratner previously epxplained that: “screenwriter Melisa Wallack went back to the 500 year old folk tale and put in some of the things that were missing from Walt Disney's film. His dwarves were miners, and here they are robbers. There is also a dragon that was in the original folk tale.” We like this combination!

Liam Hemsworth seems to be interested in playing one of the fallen angels in Disney's Fallen. The story is based on the novel by Lauren Kate.and follows: “a high school girl who has to choose between two gorgeous guys who, unbeknowns to her, are fallen angels who have battled for centuries.”

Then we have Kristen Stewart interested in playing the lead in the Peter Craig scripted Little America, the film described as “a cross between Speed and Black Dog” (whatever that means!). The story will center on “a 16-year-old prostitute who inadvertently kills a gang member, and then must go on the run. She hitches a ride with a truck driver who is hauling a lethal toxin. The truck driver and the prostitute bond during the chase.” On the other hand, Josh Brolin is interested in playing the truck driver. Not bad.

And, at the end, Sam Rockwell is looking into playing Julius Rosenberg in Ethel, the story written by Yon Motskin, about Ethel Rosenberg, who, along with her husband Julius, was executed in 1953 for conspiracy to commit espionage.

Well, if they're interested, we're even more!
