Highlight:

A sequel to Labyrinth is in the works. Any thoughts on who might be able to follow Bowie in that role? [View all] highplainsdem Jan 23 OP

Harry Styles? Drum Jan 23 #1

Good singer, and he got good reviews for his acting in Dunkirk, but bad reviews for later roles. highplainsdem Jan 24 #9

my first thought as well eShirl Jan 25 #16

Benedict Cumberbatch? hatrack Jan 23 #2

Loved him as Sherlock. Really fine actor. Can't quite picture him as a glam, dangerous goblin king. highplainsdem Jan 24 #10

Dangerous goblin king, yes. hatrack Jan 24 #14

Cillian Murphy LuvLoogie Jan 23 #3

Great actor. His intensity would be interesting. He's short, but surrounded by shorter actors (and goblins)... highplainsdem Jan 24 #11

They could CGI some extra height. LuvLoogie Jan 24 #12

Bowie was 5'10. Murphy is 5'9 fwiw chowder66 Friday #25

She turned 19 while they were filming Career Opportunities. She was 14 but looked older, playing a 16-year-old, highplainsdem Friday #30

Keanu Reeves? Ziggysmom Jan 23 #8

I do, too, but his age (60) would work against him. highplainsdem Jan 24 #13

Ooh! Tom Hiddleston. tanyev Jan 24 #15

Love him as Loki. Loved him in The Night Manager. highplainsdem Thursday #18

Tilda Swinton? Drum Thursday #17

Brilliant in lots of very different roles. highplainsdem Thursday #19

David Brighton? Ziggysmom Thursday #20

He's a really good tribute artist, but I don't know if he has any acting experience otherwise. highplainsdem Thursday #21

Chalemet edhopper Thursday #22

She's older than Bowie was, but just as otherworldly. LudwigPastorius Friday #24

Thanks for explaining. I just did some googling and found out that's from her Cornucopia tour. I'd highplainsdem Friday #32
