When they finally make this movie, who does everyone want to see act in it.
I like Guy Pearce as Montag and Patrick Stewart as Faber.

There is a vote for the whole cast at www.youcastit.com

there was already a thread about the cast of the new film.

Actually, two threads, but someone was kind enough to copy the entire text of the original thread into the new one.

I can't find a thread about the movie cast, can you post a link?

Hello Nard, I don't get that channel. Would you mind taping that for me?

Just joshin ya. I recently rented it though, loved it. I even bought a leather Montag hat. Since we went to mega-basic cable, which is tantamount to 1964 Wichita T.V., I don't get the classic movies like before. Miss it somewhat.

OK, I know I say something like this every time the Truffaut movie is mentioned; but, the music! The wonderful Bernard Herrmann music! I practically weep during the last scene, especially.

hEy!! where did you find a Montag hat? I was thinking about that hat myself watching Fahrenheit this evening.

Braling II.
Bernard Herrmann was one of the greats. I couldn’t agree with you more about his work on F451. I’ve always been a big fan. Many years ago I knew one of his nieces—if he had more than one—and she would refer to him as “Uncle Bernie”. All I could say was “You don’t mean to tell me you really know this guy?” Loved his final score on “Taxi Driver”.

Robot Lincoln,
Gots to see a picture of you in that hat. Sounds most triumphant. “Mad Hatter Lincoln" they called him in them days. Manic marauder of mercantile machinations meant to maneuver the market to the Montag method of meaningful mayhem.

Chap, nice alliteration!
I have an LP called "The Fantasy Film World Of Bernard Hermann" which includes F451 - looking now for a CD of same.
His Hitchcock scores (Psycho, Nort By Northwest, etc.) are available...

Hey Nard, Its been some months ago when I ordered the hat. I started searching hat companies online. I can't remember the exact name, but it was a motorcycle accessaries type place. Its basically a leather Greek fisherman cap. Mine was 20.00 plus shipping, which I thought was real resonable. Montags in the movie looked a little better than mine, I liked the brown soft looking leather, mine is black. Still works though. Good luck.

TCM is the only truly great channel left on TV. Shows all the movies uncropped, too. Can't stand pan-and-scan.

Yes. Pan-and-scan is a waste.
