He has a complacency that just isn't right for harry. It's in the eyes.

Re. Fred Weller for Harry? ....yeah, you're right.  I'm thinking more and more that Timothy Olyphant would be right as Harry.

Rena Sofer as Bianca


Kate Mara as Bianca's assistant (whatever her name is)


Kevin Spacey as Mac


Gabriel Macht as Marcone


Tom Cruise as Victor Sells


Chris Hemsworth as Cujo Hendricks


Natalie Portman as Gard
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

All image links dead.  Also, almost all names too Big, ya know? 

I like Gabriel Macht in Suits.  He can do angry well, but because of his lip scar/curl, it doesn't come across as that hard look I imagine Marcone can pull.  He just comes across as pissed/angry.

Odd.  When I previewed it, they came up fine ... Hmmm...

Thanks

Wasn't Natalie bald in one movie?  That's just a matter of bleach.

I could buy that.  She kind of scares me.

Has anyone seen the show Nikita? The main girl from that would make a great Gard. If in spirit and not in looks. She just seems like a good candidate.
Sir  Reginald.

Well, there is the current one, staring Maggie Q, then there is the original tv series from the late 90's, which stared Peta Wilson, and there there is the original French film, which stared Anne Parilaud, along with the American remake that starred Bridget Fonda.

My two ideas for Guard are Natasha Henstridge:



or Tricia Helfer:

Rest well Md.  You are dearly missed.
