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.

What about DiCaprio as Darien?
"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic, have fallen with a dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in The Force. Do not return to the Temple... that time has past. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships. But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always."

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.
