No offence but Danny Dyer would only be good if there was something to do with football casuals and if Eric cursed alot.

I recently watched Children of Men and though that two of the main actors (Owen and Caine) in that would be superb for this adaptaion of this film... Clive Owen as Eric Micheal Caine as Fidorious (in Children of Men, Caine plays this excentric, scatty, scientist type with long, messy, grey hair and he immediaetly came into my head as what Fidorious would appear on screen as). Caine as Jasper in CoM... http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTMyNjk5OTI3MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNzg2NzE3._V1._SX485_SY313_.jpgJemmima Rooper as Scout/Clio Helen Mirren as Dr. Randle (I did think Tilda Swinton too for this role but isn't the Dr retired in the book therefore rendering Swinton perhaps a bit youthful foir this role, so to speak).Mr Nobody... I'm split between either Paul Bettany or Jude Law here. Though Bettany I think could make an equally good Eric Sanderson. Simba (My large and pointless ginger tom cat of rather ill temperent and defiance) as Ian. As to a director??? Danny Boyle perhaps or Paul Greengrass

I reckon Ed Norton would make a good Mr Nobody.
Clio I can see being played perhaps by Cate Blanchett. But maybe that's just cos I love Cate and want to see an Australian actress in the film :P
Ooh and do you know who would make a good director? Alejandro González Iñárritu who directed Babel. That is one of my all time favourite movies and it is highly conceptual.
Also Guillermo Del Toro who did Pan's Labyrinth.
Hm both Spanish...

Eric Sanderson - Danny Dyer (no, really, think about it, could really work!)
Mr. Nobody - Jude Law.
Scout/Clio - Would best suit a relative unknown, with different colour hair for each of the dual roles.
Trey Fidorous - Stephen Fry.
Dr. Randle - An older lady, possibly the one who plays Victor Meldrew's wife in One Foot in the Grave!?
Can't wait to see it, although as with most brilliant books, the movie will inevitably fail us.
I don't know, there's a lot of good possibilities for an Eric Sanderson that aren't british. Especially if to capture that awesome sarcastic undertone so well - something I don't think most British actors are able to provide very naturally. (no offense)
