Pathetic Need for Homework Help

[colby_d]

I'm doing a project on "All Quiet on the Western Front" and I have to make a new movie poster and recast the movie. If anyone who has read the book or seen either version on the movie (1930's or 1970's) has any ideas on characaters like:
Kemmerich
Leer
Kropp
Muller
Tjaden
Detering
That would be really helpful, thanks!

And actually, for those of you who haven't a clue what I'm talking about, just give me actors that might fit these descriptions:

-intelligent, speculative, young man
-young, practical, hard-headed
-young, wiry, playful
-young, cautious, caves under pressure
-middle-aged, animal-lover
-gigantic, burly man

-gigantic, burly man

Rupert?

I read this book three years ago, but...

Paul: Johnny Depp
Kropp: Ethan Hawke
Kantorek: Jack Nicholson
Himmelstoss: Tom Cruise

It's actually hard to think of actors, because aren't most of the characters 17/18/19?

[Stargazer]

-gigantic, burly man

Robbie Coltrane (played Hagrid in Harry Potter)
Oliver Platt

With the exception of Himmelstoss, Kantorek, Kat, and Detering, I think the rest of them are.

Thanks Stargazer, I'm now using Oliver Platt

You know who I just realized would make a good Tjaden? D.J. Qualls. He's not a famous actor, but he's skinny, young, and strange:

That's actually a good one. Thanks!

He could have been the model for that "precious guy/troll" for LOTR!
