This ought to be fun for at least the rest of the afternoon

sannion posted this challenge the other day, but somehow I missed that post, so he said I could start a new thread on it over here and let you guys play with the idea.

Imagine you are making a movie about the gods. Who do you cast to play them? (Doesn't have to be your god/s, particularly, if you can think of other gods that it would be more fun to cast for.) Where would the film be set? Who would direct?

Danny DeVito as the Dionysius straight out of Fantasia, baby, with Sir Alec Guiness as the mighty Zeus.

Alfred Hitchcock in a cameo as Terminus, He Who Walks the Boundaries.

Bette Midler as Eris, straight out of Gypsy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Hercules (demigods can play too, and you have GOT to see Hercules in New York. And yes, I know this is cheating.)

Laurence Fishburne as Baron Samedi.
Robert Guillaume as Papa Ghede.
Miss Cleo as Erzulie Ge Rouge.

Daler Mehndi as The Buddha.

Nick Nolte as Odin.
Henry Rollins as Thor.
Robert Blake, a la "The Mystery Man" from Lost Highway, as Loki.

Helena Bonham Carter as Azura from the Elder Scrolls series.
Michael Mack as Vivec. (Once again, yes, cheating, but I love that voice.)
