Kristin Chenoweth i think would be the ultimate Murphy. She is larger than life and full of spunk. Plus she looks like Murph as described.

Tattoo's ?  are you talking about Wanted?  If you haven't seen her a must is Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt

All I've actually seen her in is the "Tomb Raider" movies. (I've always been a huge fan of the computer games.) And of course I've seen a few clips from "Wanted" and a good number from "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." But I do know that most if not all of the tattoos she had in "Wanted" were her own. I've been wanting to see M&MSmith for a while now but I just haven't found the time yet. Still, I've seen enough of her to know that I approve of her as Bianca...as long as they work digital magic on her tattoos.

And I decided Lash should be more subtly beautiful like Kate Mara.

But I already have Kate Mara pegged as a Justine.

Nice choice. I like Kate Mara and I think she'd be great for either. (And for some reason I tend to be hyper picky when it comes to casting Justine. Don't know why...actually I guess I do. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I love Thomas. He deserves the casting of his girl to be just right.)  ;)

I think they should  just keep a disembodied voice for bob. No people.

I agree. We'd be keeping the skull vessel though, right? I think, if done right, the skull lights could be very effictive and would make his factial expressions hysterically funny like I always picture them. (And I use the term "face" losely...does one technically have a face if one has no skin or muscle covering the front of their skull? Just a random though.)  ;)

Who was that...Steve Carell? I didn't see him in that but I did see "Dinner For Schmucks." (Great movie, btw.) He is a hilarious actor and just might work. He played such a different role in "Dinner..." than he would have to play for Bob, though, so I can't really say for sure.

That's funny...my brothers loved "Get Smart" - and I admit it was hilarious in places - but the flavor of that movie drove me actually crazy! It wasn't Steve Carell, though. I think I just didn't care for the direction they took with the movie, even if it was in line with the original TV show. At first I thought it was Carell and I kind of held it against him until I saw "Dinner For Schmucks" and then I was like "hey, this guy can act." I guess my problem with "Get Smart" was how outlandish everything was. Even though I didn't like it I don't really blame the movie...it achieved exactly what it was going for, I just didn't like it.

Yeah, the thing with him is that, if its comedy, he can do it. Touching comedy, goofy comedy, annoying comedy... You name it and he can do it. That's why his stuff is really hit or miss with me.

I've seen almost all of her movies and never noticed any of the tats. I am sure make-up over the tats would be suffice to cover them up.

But holy crap I didn't realize she really had so many tattoos.

This has probably been suggested before but I'm not scrolling through a 100+ pages.
Sam Elliot for Ebenezer.  That aged granite voice is wonderful.

Yeah, he was suggested.

I like him but I have at least 3 choices I like better.

I like Sam Elliot.  Not for Eb.

And a JimB-JamesM combo for Bob.

I have to say, James Marsters as Bob would be awesome! Even though I am a strong proponant for James as Harry I would also like to see him do Bob. I think it would be kind of cool...like Treebeard in LOTR being voiced by the same actor as Gimli the Dwarf. And Marsters, given his preternatural control over voice and accent, would be amazing. Besides the fact that I really think he's just have fun with it, which we be absolutely necessary for success as Bob. (I haven't heard Marster on the audio books but my sister is planning to purchase them so I'll be sure to listen for Marsters' Bob voice.)
