I do hope that was a joke 
Kevin Spacey? Jim Carrey?

Not at all - I think Spacey would be a GREAT Avon.
Carrey - I'm picturing him in "The Truman Show"... give him a chance?
Besides - got any better ideas? And what about the rest?

Vila is a small nimble thief- not a lanky bugger with a rubber face. Avon is darkly handsome, not an old git...

OK then - how about Alan Rickman for Avon?
And Vila... Jackie Chan?

Alan Rickman... Hm, better, but he'd have to shave the 'tash off 
I'm not sure who for Vila...

Avon is Kevin Spacy,
Tim Curry for Travis ?
Personally, I'd go with Brad Pitt or Steve Buchemi (whatever his name is) for Vila
Glen Close for Servalan ?

Just thought, Gary Oldham - Avon
John Goodman - Gan

Hmm, in the sequels you could have Halle Berry as Dayna, Reese Witherspoon as Soolin, Colin Farrell as Tarrant and... oh, I don't know... Michael Gambon as Slave.

Gary Oldman's a better idea 
but can the guy *act*?
