[CT] Terrible Trents

[Daniel Moran]

Boy, this thread is actually painful to read. Every now and again I play 
the casting game myself (I think all writers do) -- the best Trent would 
have been Val Kilmer around the time of "Real Genius," which is a while ago 
now. Matt Damon -- maybe; I really liked him in "Good Will Hunting." He 
doesn't hit my cringe button the way some other guys do, though he's small 
for the role of a guy who's supposed to be 6'4".

Probably the scariest suggestion I ever heard for Trent -- again years ago, 
when the guy was still young -- was Tom Cruise. An agent who represented me 
briefly asked me if he should send the TLR screenplay to Cruise's people. I 
couldn't bring myself to say yes, though I probably should have. And I've 
liked several of Cruise's movies -- Risky Business is as concise a movie 
about the 80s as anything ever filmed. But as Trent? I went green at the 
suggestion. A short scheming big-nosed Trent, yeah, that's the ticket....
