Not saying it should be remade but, with Hollywood's nack for making everything old new again, i started thinking earlier about how this might go.

The Big show would be a lock for Fezzik IMO.

I actually think Jason Statham would make a good Inigo Montoya.

Paul Giamatti as Vizzini? Heck yeah.

Billy Crystal and Carol Kane could even reprise their roles as Miracle Max and Wife...

Not sure who i'd pick for the other main roles, though. Any ideas?

I don't see them re-doing this ever. It's perfect the way it is. Plus it's in English.

How about Blake Lively?

She played a convincing, younger version of Robin Wright in The Secret Lives of Pippa Lee

I didn't realize that either. I think because she's 4'11" and her high pitched voice...makes her seem a LOT younger than that. Wow.

If by that you mean the older she gets, the more mummified her appearance, I would have to agree with you. I love Kristin Chenowith, but the last few times I've seen her live on talk shows and things, I've wondered if she wasn't secretly dehydrating herself at night.

He's got the look but, i think Show's got the better acting chops and sense of humor to pull off the role.

At least with Dalip, you'd get a similar speech pattern to Andre.
