Cast "UConn: The Movie"

[storrsroars]

While everyone's chewing down their fingernails for the next few hours, here's something else to think about and have fun with.

Who would you cast in major roles in the movie about the story of UConn hoops?

To get it started, I'll suggest a few:

DH: Mark Strong
Andrea: Diane Guererro
KO: Denzel
Cam: Tanner Buchanan
AD David Benedict: Dean Norris
JC: Lenny Clarke

Who are you casting for this blockbuster?

 

[UCann]

Ray Allen - Himself
Billy Murray - Himself

 

[uconnyankee]

Can we just use the cast of Jersey Shore!

 

[Ricker]

Immediately after WWII, J Edgar Hoover wanted to tout his FBI's success in breaking up the German espionage effort spying on our atomic bomb project. Lloyd Nolan, as well as the spies, were actors, but a large number of the cast members were the actual FBI agents that broke up the spy ring. (The House on 92nd Street)

I think our victory lap movie should also cast most of the real people, which would allow actual game and interview footage use. We do need a place for Will Farrell as a Boneyard fanboy driven to know all, and, liberal use of Bill Murray as the janitor that is Will's behind the scenes link to the team over the decades. Bill could incorporate some @Dove spy techniques over the years, (a la Get Smart), inside fake mailboxes, in the bushes, inside a team locker, etc. The whole movie should be Boneyard centric focusing on the Boneyard takes of all events through the eyes of OUR cast of characters and documented with actual posts over history. Big Red gets a role, and Joe D.

That's all I've got.

But all character roles should be the actual boneyarders screen names. .

Ollie - Robert Downey Jr. (from Tropic Thunder)

But my best piece of casting is Mamoa as Hurley.

You will have to get Joe D out of hiding in the witness protection program ….

For Danny, I would go with Corey Stoll as well, but CGI mapped face on a body builder like Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy.
