Who Would You Cast as Ennis in a Sequel?
Brown Eyes:
I really, don't know about a sequel... maybe Matt Damon. He's 39 this year... so pretty much exactly the right age for Ennis at the end of conventional BBM and I think Damon really is a great actor. In my mind he also sort of has the right look. I could also see Colin Farrell playing Ennis... he's too young in real life to be Ennis at the end of the conventional BBM narrative... but I think he could play older convincingly.
If we're talking about a re-make rather than a sequel, I'd pick a really young actor again. I don't know exactly who... but, I really like the idea, as happened in the real BBM, of using a young cast (and then having them age through the course of the film narrative with make-up, etc.). I'll have to ponder this one and come back and post later.

I would NEVER have thought this until I saw him yesterday in "Frost/Nixon," but I can now see Kevin Bacon as an older Ennis. He was great at projecting a tamped-down, unbending character of strong emotions. But they'd have to do something about those blue eyes. :)
SFEnnisSF:
When I saw Role Models, it came to me that Seann Williams Scott could possibly play Ennis, looks wise anyways..
Monika:
I can´t even imagine someone else playing the role of Ennis. Just can´t wrap my head around the idea.
JudgeHolden:
Scott Glenn.
In that last scene, where Ennis looks out the door at the departing Alma Jr, the makeup actually made him look a bit like Glenn.
