Recasting Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt. You know him, you either love him or you hate him, but I think we can all agree that he is may too safe a choice when it comes to film roles in this godforsaken industry. Instead of just asking to ourselves “why did they get Chris Pratt to play this character when someone else could’ve played him so much better” I think a better way of spending our time is to imagine who else would’ve played the many great roles Mr. Pratt originated across his illustrious career.

The Pirates of Penzance

The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets the daughters of Major-General Stanley, including Mabel, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic soon learns, however, that he was born on the 29th of February, and so, technically, he has a birthday only once each leap year. His indenture specifies that he remain apprenticed to the pirates until his "twenty-first birthday", meaning that he must serve for another 63 years. Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.

The Beasts of Fordham Manor

Who Do You Trust With Completing The Thief and The Cobbler

The Thief and the Cobbler is an unfinished animated fantasy film co-written and directed by Richard Williams. Originally conceived in the 1960s, the film was in and out of production for nearly three decades due to independent funding and ambitiously complex animation. It was finally placed into full production in 1989, when Warner Bros. agreed to finance and distribute the film. When production went over budget and fell behind schedule, it was heavily cut and hastily re-edited by producer Fred Calvert without Williams' involvement; it was eventually released by Allied Filmmakers in 1993 under the title The Princess and the Cobbler. Two years later, Disney's Miramax Films released another re-edit titled Arabian Knight. Both versions of the film performed poorly at the box office and received mixed reviews. Now that Williams has unfortunately passed away, who do you think is most qualified to complete this long unfinished passion project according to Richard’s lofty vision.
