To celebrate its 20th birthday Empire magazine created a great project.
Famous actors and actresses were asked to "play" their famous roles once again.

Gotta love the Gibson, Bale, Spacey and Damon shots. Dunno who or what's the last one though.

"There's this whole school of thought that movies are always so great when you're 10 or 12 years old, and the reality of it is, when you're 10 or 12 years old, you've only seen 100 stories. By the time you get to be 25, you've seen 3,000. You've seen every permutation of every dramatic arc. And when somebody takes that and stands it on its head, that can be exciting." David Fincher

Yes, Gary, but there's always people who haven't seen it. Incidently, since this is primarily a movie forum, there's bound to be stuff that's "old".

I think my favorite is the first one.

I also like the Bourne movie for how simple it is. Just him sitting down, in normal attire, but that passport makes teh world of difference.

The last one is from The Queen, I think.

Best one for me is Jack Nicholson. The most famous role he has ever played is being Jack Nicholson.

2nd best: Emma Watson and her gorgeous legs.

Worst of the lot: Keira Knightley, Harry Potter's chest hair and overdressed English prick that played Tony Blair = FAIL.

Nice post, Shariq.

Michael Sheen is from The Queen (so says the official website)

I'd rather if they had a Shaun of The Dead reference rather than Hot Fuzz for Pigg and Frost duo, because that latter was a very good film but not as memorable.

As for Daniel Radcliffe chest hair debacle, seriously what did they think? It looks retarded and cements the idea that Brits suck when it comes to taste in fashion.

Considering most, if not all pictures published are Photoshop'd, I guess not. Jack Nicholson looks like he's getting blown.
