Live till production, can you do it?

Never mind what I've said about hoping Rooney and White will make it to production.  Now I'm thinking of an actor who's a little younger—though not by much, so I will have to keep hoping and praying. (Pray with me! LOL)

Now that Ernest Borgnine has passed on, Rooney and White in question are the oldest working actor and actress in the American film business.  The third is one of the most prolific actors ever, as well as one of my favorites in a way: Christopher Lee, who turned 90 earlier this year.  I looked him up on IMDb just now and it lists him as still being alive.

As long as he is mentally able, I also hope he'll join another of my productions—as the Ghostly Old Man in my remake of Manos: The Hands of Fate.

JT in the house?

I've been thinking…now that he's retired from music and is acting in movies of varying degrees of seriousness (he is 31 now after all), I think perhaps Justin Timberlake would be good for this movie, depending on the role.

Though, it would definitely have to be a supporting role.

Forget about it

Newman is no longer being thought of for a "resurrected" role that would require special effects.  Instead I'll find someone else who's alive and about the age he would have been now.  I was thinking possibly Harry Dean Stanton, but we'll see…
