Of Mice and Men...

"Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own. But after they come to work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry."

I was wondering, if there ever was an Asian production of this classic by Mr. Steinbeck, who would be casted...

Well, here are my choices

George (small, quick, dark of face and eyes, restless) : Stephen Chow, chosen because he also happens to be the director.

Lennie (huge, shapeless, pale eyes, slow moving) : Guy-on-the-left, need i say more?

"Look Lennie! Flying rabbits!"

Candy (old swamper, missing one hand) : Wu Meng Da, chosen because he has to appear in ALL Stephen Chow movies.

"Psst.... Curley's wife is hot eh?"

Slim (jerkline skinner, local authority) : Louis Koo, chosen purely based on his skin tone... and he pulls in the broads.

"Here George, shoot the retard with THESE!"

Curley (Boss' son, short, once a welterweight boxer) : Eason Chan, chosen because he often spots a ridiculous head of curly hair. "My hand? Erm ... machine accident..."

Curley's wife (Class A Slut) : Bai Ling, chosen because the picture explains itself.

"Please can i go to YOUR ranch?"

And of course, not forgetting...

Mouse (Crushed by Lennie within 10 mins of the show) : Stuart (I'm better than Mickey) Little, chosen because... well... he a mouse.

"Great, another mouse role..."

Not forgetting the supporting roles...

Aunt Clara (Lennie's dead aunt) : Lydia Sum

Boss (owner of a ranch ) : Xie Xian

Crooks (negro stable buck) : Any Bollywood cross-over

Now we've got ourselves a star-studded cast, all we need is someone to translate the script into Chinese, pump in 100 million dollars and we've got ourselves a blockbuster!
