The Cast of The Jungle ( Chapter 1)

For the Movie Adaptation of the Jungle there are many characters that would be excellently played by some of the wonderful actors in Hollywood today

For the Main Character of Jurgis, a large man with dark eyes and Curly dark hair, i have chosen John C. Riely

This Veteran actor may be a little older than the part would call for however, while known for his comedic films, Riely has a very large film Resume, and would be able to portray the many emotions and periods of Jurgis' life. 

For Jurgis' leading Lady Ona, none other than T.V. Star Johanna Braddy 

Johanna has the soft touch needed to play the young beauty, with the fair skin and blue eyes to match. naturally built for the role she has had several roles showcasing the young actress's emotional command and depth. a perfect clash for riely the two would fit the adaptation wonderfully 

bringing in a a more realistic and rugged role, Mellissa McCarthy would wonderfully pull of Ona'a hardworking Cousin Marija Berczynskas, 

Not only does McCarthy have a physical likeness, but the experience needed to play the role. known more for her recent comedic success, she has the fire to represent Marija well, and the dramatic experience to do the character justice later in the film. McCarthy may still be able to shine as marija Occasionally chimes in with good will, and hopefulness, a feature often credited to Mccarthy for her cheerfulness and smile. 

Ona's Grandmother Teta Elzbieta, will be played by the wonderful an dignified Maggie Smith. Maggie may be most notably from her portray as Professor Mcgonagall from the Harry potter Series

Smith, who's been in Hollywood a long time would bring the strength needed for Teta Elzbeita. her portrayal of many insightful characters would give credence to the character as well. she can be both stern and angry as well as compassionate 

Finally breaking in as more of a bit character and not part of the main cast, I suggest casting none other than Tom Cruise as Violinist Tamoszius Kuszleika. While this Character is not central to the story nor does he appear much as the story moves forward. the opening wedding scene for this film should set a tone and make the audience excited. casting this star for this character will surprise audience just as it did the the comedic hit tropic thunder 

Cruise, seen here in tropic thunder, can fill into nearly any role, and his ability to steel a scene will fit in perfectly with the role of Tomoszius, who also is quite a scene stealer. Cruise will serve well playing the energetic and short violinist and will add a since of novelty to the film, as he is known a a leading man, and less of a bit actor. 

together with other characters this core group will lead the film, adaptation of the Jungle, coming to theatres summer of 2018 ... maybe
