fun with chromatic casting!

[kaydeefalls]

A couple of weeks ago, I was bored and started thinking about the old chromatic casting meme that was going around a while back. And I thought, man, there is never a bad time to play around with chromatic casting!

So, Inception! One possible alternate cast, chromatic-style, and with occasional genderswapping because love that movie though I do, it is tragically lacking in the ladies.

The Extractor

Cobb - John Cho

The Shade

Mal - Sophie Okonedo

The Architect

Ariadne - America Ferrera

The Point Man

Arthur - Sarah Shahi

The Forger

Eames - Chiwetal Ejiofor

The Chemist

Yusuf - Meera Syal

The Tourist

Saito - Gong Li

The Mark

Fischer - Gael Garcia Bernal

The Others


Miles - Morgan Freeman


Maurice Fischer - Edward James Olmos


Peter Browning - Dennis Haysbert


IT WAS SO HARD TO CHOOSE SOME OF THESE. So many possibilities! Esai Morales as Cobb! Diego Luna as Arthur! Zhang Ziyi as Ariadne! More genderswapping! ALL genderswapping! Etc, etc, etc.

Anyone else want to have a go?

Seriously! I mean, this is not a criticism of any of the actual cast, all of whom I absolutely adore. But Chiwetal Ejiofor makes EVERYTHING approximately twelve billion times more awesome by his presence.

Sophie Okonedo was the first idea I had that made me think of doing this. :)
