So here’s how to qualify to win: Cast the movie. That’s it. Simply cast the Rolling Stones movie. You don’t even have to cast the whole thing. If your casting suggestion for just one of the roles is deemed among the 3 “best for that particular role,” you win.
The following 10 roles need to be cast. You can cast for one or all of them AND we have a TBD category. That is an 11th role to be cast that is as-of-yet undetermined. Example: Let’s say we were casting The Beatles movie and had 5 roles: John, Paul, George, and Ringo (seemingly always listed in that order) and George Martin. If there was a TBD category of your choosing you might suggest any of the following; Brian Epstein, Linda Macartney, Yoko, Magic Alex… Then if our judges were to pick your suggestion (both role and actor) then you win.
Get it? Got it? If not, post your question and an official RTH headmaster will respond.
The 10 cast members to be cast follow the jump!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
He’d have to cut all the muscle he’s put on over the last year or two, but Tom Hardy is the only actor I could see headlining a Stones movie and having the charisma and look to play Jagger.
To show the world she will not be outdone by Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman is auditioning for the role of Brian Jones.
While doing some research on Mick Taylor, I came across this photo, post- Stones, when Taylor was in Billy Preston’s touring band. Surely, Mick’s adaptation of Team Preston’s Look should prove once and for all he was the ultimate rock team player!

Man, if that’s not worth a Rock Badge of Courage I don’t know what is!
I think perhaps drugs may have been involved.
Here’s my part 1.
Young Mick – that guy from Maroon 5 who moves like Jagger
Old Mick – David Johansen
Young Keith – Lindsey Lohan
Old Keith – Tom Waits
Young Charlie – Leo DiCaprio
Old Charlie – Leo DiCarprio
Brian Jones – Tilda Swinton
Mick Taylor – Jack White
Ron Wood – Al Pacino (uncredited)
Bianca Jagger – Sofia Vergara (after breast reduction surgery).
Anita Pallenberg – K. Stew (she looks stoned all the time anyways).
Andrew Loog Oldham – Prince Harry
Marianne Faithfull – Rachel McAdams
I’ll take a swing. Sorry, I use dead people. And old people as young people, because I don’t know many young people.
MICK JAGGER (young and old):
Young – Don Knotts
Old – Steven Tyler. Mostly because that’s who he always wanted to be,
Keith Richards (young and old)
Young – Old George Harrison. Here’s proof! http://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/2010/1/24/129088349066480085.jpg
Old – Don’t know who this guy is, but either he’s missing the point, or Keith is. http://www.flickr.com/photos/joits/4652273516/
Bill Wyman (young and old)
Young – Young Bruce Jenner. Pre Kardashian when he had a real face.
Old – Doug Hutchinson. He knows how to handle a teenage bride!
Charlie Watts (young and old)
Young – Young Gerard Depardieu
Old – Rod Stewart. His nose is big enough.
Brian Jones – Liam Gallagher. I know, he looks more like Brian in drag, but…http://content3.starflash.com/article-images/w500/liam-gallagher-blickt-etwas-verloren-drein-r2.jpg
Mick Taylor – I choose the retired Mick Taylor! Leslie West! The Michelin Man can be his stunt double.
Ron Wood – Adrien Brody http://www.cherryplucker.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/AdrienBrodynose.jpg
Bianca Jagger – Mick Jagger, who else?
Anita Pallenberg – Blake Liveley
Andrew Loog Oldham – Wendy Malick
Marianne Faithfull – Mila Kunis. I don’t know what she looks like with blonde hair, but I want to sell some tickets, and as the casting director it would be kind of cool to meet her.
And TBD
Old Jimmy Page (he played on One Hit to the Body) – Quaker Oats Guy

Team Royale has auditioned and accepted the following cast:
Young Mick – Dominic Cooper
Old Mick – William H. Macy
Old and Young Keef – Johnny Depp
Young Charlie – Javier Bardem
Old Charlie – Leonard Nimoy
Brian Jones – Beck
Mick Taylor – Albert Finney
Ron Wood – Daniel Ash
Bianca Jagger – Tim Curry
Anita Pallenberg – Jane Fonda
Andrew Loog Oldham – Richard Gere
Marianne Faithful – Anna Chlumsky
Mick T. was in Preston’s God Squad on the Stones 73 tour. He played the opening act and the main attraction, but he played a Fender with Billy’s band. With The Stones he usually played a Gibson SG or Les paul, I think. I don’t think Mick played with Billy after he quit The Stones.
Very funny schtuff
great contest! my cast follows…
young mick: benedict cumberbatch (masterpiece’s sherlock holmes – http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2012/1/5/1325759908552/SHERLOCK-007.jpg)
old mick: sir ian mckellan
young keith: joaquin pheonix
old keith: keith, as himself
young bill: jill clayburgh
old bill: laurie metcalfe (roseanne’s sister)
young charlie: matt damon
old charlie: terence stamp
brian: martin freeman (the uk office and masterpiece’s sherlock – http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110729175743/bbc-sherlock/images/5/58/Martin_Freeman.jpg)
mick taylor: matthew mcconaughey
ron wood: i agree with al pacino
bianca: eva longoria
anita: lindsay lohan
andrew loog oldham: paul dano
marianne faithfull: zoey deschanel
tbd: spanish tony sanchez played by benicio del toro
The actors for Old and Young Bill Wyman were outside rehearsing their lines. We would like to extend accolades to:
Young Bill: Patti Smith
Old Bill: Geoffrey Rush
Geoffrey Rush as old Bill Wyman is inspired.
Young Mick Jagger: Angelina Jolie
I thought about Zooey Deschanel. She could certainly sing old Marianne songs, but if she doesn’t look fantastic with blonde hair, she’s gonna mess up this iconic photo.

Where Mila Kunis can just say, “Hi, I’m Marianne Faithfull and I’m here for the photo shoot” in the movie and no man will care that she doesn’t look like Marianne.
Well, at least this man won’t!
I’m not done, but I think I’ve got a pretty good cast so far:
Young and Old Mick – JarJar Binks, known for his accent work.
Old and Young Keef – Sid Vicious
Bill Wyman – Woody Allen
Young Charlie – Daniel Radcliffe
Old Charlie – wallpaper
Brian Jones – a golden retriever
Anita Pallenberg – the blonde Smurf
Andrew Loog Oldham – Philip Seymour Hoffman
Marianne Faithful – Courtney Love
The punk version of the movie would have either Young Richard Hell or David Johanson as Young Mick, Old Iggy as Old Mick, Mick Jones as young Keef, Dee Dee Ramone as Brian Jones, and Steve Diggle as Ronnie Wood.
Oh, my TBD: The Casting Couch excellently played by Mick Jagger.
Chlumsky as Faithfull is my favorite among these casting suggestions.
Brian Jones — 90s era Mike Fingeroff.
I only got one offering, but I think it’s an End of Story –
Sienna Miller as Anita
