Hey, Bob, did we ever finish casting the "live-action 1998 Disney Sailor Moon movie" that Lisa Vanette has in her collection? I noticed some discussion about it in the [fluff] Now Playing, from the Whole Fenspace Catalog thread.

We had a partial cast list:
Serena: Kirstin Dunst
Amy: Lacey Chabert
Raye: Natalie Portman
Lita: Jessica Alba
Mina: Ariana Richards
Molly: Amber Tamblyn
Queen Beryl: Geena Davis
Nephlite: Antonio Banderas

I don't think we ever cast Darien, Melvin, Jadeite, Zoycite, Malachite, or any of the supporting characters.

Hmmmmm... (consults Wikipedia) ...Tom Criuse was between movies in 1998 - Jerry Maguire was '96 and Eyes Wide Shut was '99. Do we have a Jadeite?

I think that was as far as we got, but I do like the idea of Cruise as Jadeite -- although given Kirstin Dunst's height at the time, we could get away with him as Mamoru.

Cruise as Mamoru/Darien would be a case of Dawson Casting, which we've been trying to avoid.

Mm. Good point.

What about DiCaprio as Darien?

DiCaprio was 24 in 1998. A little old... but not horridly so.

The right age, yes. But he doesn't have the right look, IMHO.
