A long time ago, when the movie was out, there was a thread like this on IMDb. I can't remember exactly who I picked for the cast. If I had to do it again.

Image
Keith David - The Comedian

Image
Laurence Fishburn - Dr. Manhattan

Image
Andrew Braugher - Dan

Image
Tricky - Rorschach

Image
Paula Patton - Laurie

Image
Blaire Underwood - Veidt

And I remember having a white guy play Malcolm.

Yeah, he's not an actor (er, well he was in the Fifth Element), or an American, but he is a facinatingly ugly black man, has a gravely voice, and is the right age and size of Rorschach.

Would Denzel make a good Veidt, or is he too old?

He'd still be amazing, and completely out of his comfort zone.

Did anyone else laugh at the idea of Idris Elba in Jeffrey Dean Morgan's role?

Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and such a slick guy. But i'm not sure if he's right for the comedian.

And 'Slick Elba' is an anagram of 'Blake SLIC' (Spills, Leaks, Investigations, and Clean-ups).
Sure sounds like Black Ops work to me... or perhaps that should be 'White Ops', considering the thread?
