Disney's Blackbeard's Ghost - RECAST

Dean Jones is known for a few old Disneys such as "That Darn Cat" (the original of course) or The Love Bug.
In Blackbeard's Ghost, he played Steve Walker, a new coach for a horribly amateur track and field team. The whole movie is basically Coach Walker dealing with Blackbeard's crap.

James Franco is one of a few characters that can come off as just a normal guy in a normal world. This trait, though it may not have been the perfect match for the "Oz the Great and Powerful," makes him perfect for the role of Steve Walker. Just a guy, being tormented by the ghost that used to own his bed.

Known for her participation in some of the older Disney Movies, and more recently in Will and Grace, Suzanne Pleshette set some pretty big shoes to fill.

Well when you first meet Jo Ann, she's at a kissing booth, and though taken off guard by her first $1 kiss, she owns the $5 special. We could see Diane really getting into the comedic rhythms that this character would necessitate.

Talk about CRAZY! Elsa Lanchester was known very well for playing an eccentric descendant of Blackbeard himself, as well as a possible ax murderer on I Love Lucy.

Bellatrix Lestrange on Harry Potter, Madame Thénardier on Les Misérables, the Red Queen on Alice in Wonderland... Helena Bonham Carter has played among the most strange, and eccentric characters there are. We believe that she would be the perfect Emily Stowecroft in our fictional revisiting of Blackbeard's Ghost.

Joby played in old mystery dramas, such as Alfred Hitchcock presents, and Perry Mason, but he also had the occasional Disney appearance. Slimy as could be, Silky is a great mob-boss-like character.

Slimy? Yup. Hard to deal with? Yup. Looks like a toenail? Yup. Edward Norton has sure played some scummy characters in his time. He would be right at home playing this dishonest, filthy, cheating guy who looks like he'd constantly smell like Old Spice - the kind of old spice that Science teachers used to wear in the '90s, not the Terry Crews buff awesome stuff they have today.

Sir Peter Ustinov was one of the most versatile and yetunderrated actors of the 20th century. He played a walrus in Alice in Wonderland, (The one with Martin Short and Whoopie Goldberg) He played Prince John and King Richard on Disneys animated Robin Hood... heavens, he even played King Herod on a move called, Jesus of Nazareth, and NAILED it.

Shia is also a horribly underrated actor. Unlike Peter Ustinov, who is a dramatic actor turned comedian for certain roles, Shia is a comedian, who delved into more dramatic roles after the fact. We think that Shia would be a great blackbeard, given his comedic chops... and frankly, we'd like to keep him busy, because we all know what happens to him when he's got too much time on his hands.
