Help casting "Taming of the Shrew"

ntropyincarnate · 04-14-2009, 02:24 PM

I have this assignment where I'm supposed to be producing a modern version of The Taming of the Shrew. The problem? I hardly ever watch movies, therefore I am very unfamiliar with actors. This is what I have so far:

Kate: Kiera Knightley or Angelina Jolie, probably Kiera Knightley

Bianca: Kelly Reilly

Lucentio: Orlando Bloom

Hortensio: Tom Hollander

Baptista: Donald Sutherland, perhaps?

Now these are the ones I have left and have no idea how to cast.

Petruchio

Grumio

Gremio

Tranio

Can anyone gives me some suggestions for these characters? Especially Petruchio?????

the modern version of the tamming of the shrew is the movie 10 things i hate about you.

(giggle) Vigo Mortenson as Petrushio.
Ew, Kiera Knightly.

You could look up some actors online, i'm sure you'll find some good ones. That would so funny to watch Orlando Bloom to dress up a teacher and secretly make love to Bianca.
I'm not being very helpful...
