I did see the other threads of who was picked for Gray's dad, just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in on it anyway. As for Susan, I would pick Charlize Theron because I see Susan as someone who is pretty but not too soft.
Carrie, I just asked to see if you had seen him and what you thought of him, didnt mean it to sound like your two cents didnt count, if it came off that way
. We have had so many ideas and sites, I just didnt know lol. You may be the tie breaker then on Susan. What do you think of any of the options for Nassar? Do you think Antonio or one of those Indian actors would be good? and btw, I really like Star Wars too, especially the first and the original three. Of the new ones, the prequels, I only really liked that last one, where you find out how Darth comes to be, that one I bought but not the others except the originals.

No offense was taken, I just wanted let you know why I posted it. I like Antonio for Nassar, he can play a bad guy pretty well from what I've seen. The Indian actors look good, but I'd prefer one of them as Devesh & one as Rakao (don't really care which one is which).
As far as Star Wars goes, I refused to see the newer ones because I didn't think they could touch the orginals. Then my 10 year old daughter watched one on TV with a friend & I came around. I now own all the movies on DVD, & have the original 3 on VHS (I know, I'm a freak!) I really love watching all 6 in a row (not in one day, there would be not time for anything else if you did that!), they really complete the story. Here I thought the movies were all about Luke, when they really were about Darth Vadar! What a surprise!

LOL, your not a freak, I bought one of the dvr's to make a copy of my VHS tapes that I could, just for me, not for sale and I was surprised how many i was able to tape to dvd, and was very glad too because some of them are movies you cant get anymore and some were starting to degrade. I still have about 20 VHS tapes that I kept because I cant get them on DVD and cant copy. At one time I had 500 movies, hey I have been stuck in a house for a couple of decades! lol so books, movies and the computer are great friends to me. I gave a lot of VHS movies to the local little library, then I found a shelter for the homeless that wanted a bunch and some of the DVDs I wanted to get rid of too, so gave two boxes full to them. My books, its harder for me to give up. I just keep building bookshelves on all the walls LOL. Now some books that I just didnt like, I give to the library. I try to take good care of my movies and my books. My music too. I love old torch songs from before I was born,blues, pop, classic about anything but rap and country, altho there are some individual country songs I like.
OH and on the Nassar thing, I am with you, lets say Nassar is Antonio then, I think thats three of us and see if anyone objects lol. The Indians on the ship, devesh and Surina and the one holding Gray's parents we will just force Jim to pick LOL I think we have the cast then! cool! I am going to have to write them down and put them in the book, just to remind me of our little adventure in casting here lol and also to see if this is made into a movie some time, how close we came LOL.

Road Warrior with Mel Gibson (2nd in the Mad Max series).
My Brilliant Career with Judy Davis and Sam Neil (I didn't agree with the ending though).
All That Jazz with Roy Scheider.
Blade Runner with Harrison Ford.
Forbidden Planet with Walter Pidgeon & Anne Francis.
Kagemusha - Shadow Warrier - Akira Kurosawa
Comedies - Young Frankenstein (I still quote lines from that movie)
Dennis the Menace with Walter Malthau. I went to a Saturday matinee - the audience was sparse, mostly senior citizens. I was the only one laughing and I tried so hard not to laugh out loud that I was worried I might injure myself (internal injuries from holding in laughter).
West World with Yul Brenner and Richard Benjamin - it hasn't come round through T.V. in a long time.
China Town - I saw James listed this one too.
Jurrasic Park
Pitch Black - this was so scary - there was one scene when they were underground and someone sitting in front of me turned around to smile at me and I then realized I was taking in very loud audible breaths (funny I never heard an exhale though). Vin Diesel's charactor Riddick first showed up in this movie.
Predator with Arnold Schwartzeneger & Carl Withers. My regret was I never saw it in the theatres but only on television.
Fried Green Tomatoes - barbecue will never be the same for me.
I loved Preditor too,very good movie. Hey wasnt Road Warrior the first of the Mad Max movies, where its not all gone yet and his wife is alive? Then Mad Max, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? I liked that one too. I Love Raiders, the first and 3rd one but the Temple of doom one I didnt like and never bought it even to complete the set. Anyone else here not like the Temple of Doom one? Kurosawa does some awesome films, I have his movie, DREAMS and his first name reminds me of the only Japanese Anime I own, it a long one called AKIRA. Anyone ever see that? And I want to be Katherine Hepburn in On Golden Pond, when I get old lol. I love that they are so in love. That is a really good film and one of the best about an older couple.
P.S. just checked the MAD MAX TRILOGY and your right, Mad Max was first, Road Warrior was second, I remember now because he became the road warrior after his family was killed. I remember too that for a long time Road Warrior was hard to find because of its title not having Mad Max in it.
