Winter Classic 2011: The Movie Casting Choices
When we announced last week that we would like to see a movie version of The Winter Classic: 2011, the most important thing was to come up with a cast list. So we asked our readers who would play who. For most players, there was more than one choice. As much as we wanted to come up with only one person, we realized that it was also important to have backups in case the preferred choice isn’t into playing the role.
Many of the choices seem to make sense, others do not, but that will be handled at a later date. Surely, there’s got to be someone better than Howard Stern to play Jeff Schultz, right?
Note that we didn’t care as much for casting the Penguins.
My favorite casting choice is Robert Di Nero as Ted Leonsis.
