dream cast: hypothetical ‘Scarecrow and Mrs. King’ movie

Nathan Fillion would be a fabulous Scarecrow, indeed, but I have to disagree with Sophia Myles. Amanda King is supposed to be an everywoman and Sophia is way too pretty in a glamorous way for me to ever imagine her in the role. Someone more like Annabeth Gish is who I would choose--a fabulous actress and still beautiful, but in a more every day/less beauty pageant sort of way.

Sophia'd make a fabulous Francine Desmond, though. :-)

I soo had the hots for Mrs. King as a kid. I was a fan of Kate Jackson before I even discovered her as the "smart" Charlie's Angel.

Nathan Fillion in a remake would be a hoot. B)

Nathan would make a good Scarecrow, but someone like Sasha Alexander would be better as Amanda.

And Tricia Helfer would kick-ass as Francine Desmond.

They could change the kids and make them twins . . . how 'bout the Sprouse twins?!! LOL!

It would be funny, but to me, there's just no substitute.

I agree that whoever would take Amanda King's role shouldn't be someone overly glamourous. Remember, Amanda's the girl-next-door - former cheerleader, naive, and recently divorced with 2 energetic kids.
KJ did such a wonderful job with this one that it would be tough to determine who today's replacement would be.
Although wrong hair color, I'm thinking the girl who did Willow on Buffy might be a choice. She's cute, spunky, and a bit quirky - from what I remember of Buffy.
As for Scarecrow - there's lot's of cute fellas out there, so I'm sure someone could find the right man.
Well, there you have it - my humble input on this topic.

Sorry, but I'm a Scarecrow & Mrs. King die-hard and I can't imagine anybody but Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson in the roles of Lee and Amanda. I was a teenager in the 80's and I remember the show when it was a hit on CBS. For me, it will always be Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson.

No, I'm not missing the point. I know you guys are talking about a film version of Scarecrow & Mrs. King with different actors in the roles. I'm just saying that it's difficult for me to picture anybody else but Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson in the roles of Lee and Amanda because I grew up watching the TV series. If somebody did a film version of the show, of course they'd have to use different actors. But I can't picture any other actors in those roles except Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson. Whenever I try to do that, nobody else comes to mind because I'm so used to Bruce and Kate. That's what I meant. My apologies if I offended anybody.

I understand where Kelly is coming from. Kate Jackson and Bruce Boxleitner were so great in the roles that you just can't imagine anyone else doing them. That said, if they made a movie of it the way they did "Charlies Angels", it would work a lot better. You know how the remake had angels that weren't supposed to be the characters in the original series. Well, you could do the same thing with this as the title isn't really specific. Scarecrow doesn't have to be Lee and Mrs King could have another first name. That way you could totally reinvent it because it was a great concept but not compete with the original.

Nathan Fillion actually was cast as Amanda already, in Castle... ;)
