Ever wonder what a movie or TV show would be like if you could be the casting director? Well, now's your chance. Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, we'll be posting a Recast challenge, where we'll ask you to recast a classic TV show or movie for these modern times.

This week's challenge: The legendary 1942 film Casablanca. I know, I know: No one can do it like Bogey, but if you had to recast the movie with new actors in the roles originated by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Claude Rains, who would you cast? Cate Blanchett as Isla? Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capt. Renault? Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, Dec. 19, complete with a "new" cast photo.

Characters to recast:
Rick Blaine
Ilsa Lund
Capt. Renault

    Rick - Clive Owen
    Ilsa - Nicole Kidman
    Capt. Renault - Jean Reno (he's perfect)

    Living in L.A., however, I must add who the studios would inevitably cast in these roles if given the opportunity (prepare to choke on your own vomit):

    Rick - Heath Ledger
    Ilsa - Kate Bosworth
    Capt. Renault - Queen Latifah

    I definetly agree with Fergie Ferg. George Clooney and Cate Blanchett would be perfect.

    You HAVE to consider Debra Messing for Ingrid Bergman. Compare pictures of the two - they look remarkably similar!!! And even though we know Debra for her comedy, she can do sad, down-turned eyes reall well.
