I get it! This is a fantasy thread!
I thought it was about various casting announcements which, for one reason or another, never came to fruition, such as, at one point the Beatles were announced as the lead actors for a proposed film of THE LORD OF THE RINGS! (Truth!)
Or Calvin Culver, a gay porn star, announced as the lead in a proposed film version of Mary Renault's classic novel, THE KING MUST DIE, co-starring Maggie Smith, no less!

Music by: Wang Chung
Winner of 11 Academy Awards, including best motion picture made for under $500.
Actually i'd stand by half of my cast - it would be ace.
Good one.
For a moment there, I thought you were going to list: Music by James Horner.
What a more fitting beginning to the career than something like HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP.

Due to producers meddling with my vision, i have now replaced Wang Chung with James Horner - a dashing young musical upstart.
Mr Wang and Mr. Chung have taken their dismissal gracefully. They aim to sue.
Funny.
For a moment there, I thought you meant Gary Chang.
What a name that would be:
Gary Wang Chung Chang
