"Blicero could be played by Klaus Kinski (around the age of his role in
"Aguire: The Wrath of God"), and Enzian could be played by Denzel Washington.

But who would play Katje, Roger, and Jessica?"

I'll second Washington (or for an African African, how about Isaach de Bankole
who appeared in CHOCOLAT and the TNT version of HEART OF DARKNESS?).

I keep wanting to resurrect dead actors for these roles: Katje would *have*
to be played by her late Serene Highness Grace Kelly (or maybe Tippi
Hedren, if she wasn't required to act).  Jessica strikes me as suitable for
the younger Deborah Kerr.  For Roger?  Only Daniel Day-Lewis would suffice,
I think.  Von Goll ought to be the late Gert Frobe, but maybe Klaus Maria
Brandauer would do (on the other hand, he could be a fine Pokler).
Thanatz?--who else but Dennis Hopper?

Second thoughts: How about Hanna Schygula for Katje?  John Cleese for Points-
man?  Lyle Bland?--Christopher Walken.  Say, wh-what about that Robert DeNiro
for Slothrop?

Another Dead Actor--Raul Julia for Squalidozzi.

u.s.w.
