Went to RedBox the other night and rented Out of the Furnace. I enjoyed it, but it did run a little long, and had some unnecessary story lines and some pointless scenes. However, the acting in the movie was still pretty good. Casey Affleck and Christian Bale play believable brothers, and Woody Harrelson did a fantastic job as the bad guy. However, here is how I would change it up a little...
*********************************************************************************
The first one to change would be the older brother of the two, Russell, played by Christian Bale. I have chosen to go with Bradley Cooper. Cooper has proven himself recently with two Oscar nominations in the past couple of years, and I would say he could play this character very well.
*********************************************************************************
The next character to cast would be Rodney, played by Casey Affleck. I chose to go with Emile Hirsch. Hirsch has done a good job and playing troubled characters such as in Into the Wild, Alpha Dog, and more recently Prince Avalanche. I also feel as if Bradley Cooper and Hirsch would make a good brother duo.
*********************************************************************************
Next character to cast would be Harlan, the creepy back woods bad guy, played by the great Woody Harrelson. I have decided to go with someone equally as great, and that would be Viggo Mortensen. If you have seen Eastern Promises, then you could definitely agree that he could do well in this role.
*********************************************************************************
The last main character to cast would be the role of Lena, the girlfriend of Russell, played by Zoe Saldana. I chose to go with Nicole Beharie. Beharie has not been in too much, but I saw her in the movie Shame and she was very likable and would go well with Cooper.
*********************************************************************************
One of the last smaller roles I would cast would be for the role of John Petty, played by Willem Dafoe. I have decided to go with James Caan.
*********************************************************************************
And last but not least, would be the role of Chief Wesley Barnes, played by Forest Whitaker. I have decided to go with Morris Chestnut.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed who I would have picked for Out of the Furnace.
