Pippin - Justin Timberlake
Merry - Heath Ledger

OH GOD. I both hate you and love you.

My Cast From Hell:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Arthur Dent:	Michael J. Fox
Ford Prefect:	Ashton Kutscher
Zaphod Beeblebrox:	Keanu Reeves
Trillian:	Halle Berry
Marvin the Paranoid Android:	Andy Dick
Eddie Your Shipboard Computer:	Harvey Fierstien
Slartibartfast:	Rip Taylor
Shooty & Bang-Bang:	Corey Feldman & Corey Haim
Gag Halfrunt:	Dennis Miller
Vogon Captain:	Surprise cameo by Whoopi Goldberg

Funny, I kept coming up with strange casting decisions that could be gorgeously right. Like Greg Kinnear as Zaphod, and Nathan Lane as Eddie. Plus I would really like to reprise the Billy Crystal/Christopher Guest partnership from SNL as Shooty and Bang-Bang. And even though it makes me vaguely sick, Howard Stern might be able to pull off a decent Zaphod, if you want to go for the more traditional, creepy interpretation.

I am a deeply disturbed individual.
