Am I the only one who thinks it could be really cool if the casting were reversed?gkmoberg1 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 08, 2018 2:18 pmUtah Theatre Bloggers Association

I was thinking what a turn-about it would be to have the gaunt and spectral Brian Kocherhans playing powerless Oskar (less the guyliner), and the warm and comforting Scout Smith playing monstrous Eli. This would be a departure from both films, where there is nothing to visually mark Oskar (or Owen) as a social outcast. Then again, in the novel JAL had Oskar be rotund.
