It struck me when I was reading this news that Patrick Swayze could be ideal for the film version of Guys and Dolls. However would there be room for him in the already rumoured crowded casting?

We have Vin Diesel and Hugh Jackman being tied to the project. However IMDB have the news that Swayze has just signed to play Nathan Detroit (the Frank Sinatra
role in the first film musical) alongside Ewan McGregor (taking the Marlon Brando role).

Correction: Thanks Simone, I have only had a few hours sleep and messed up a little on that post - McGregor was last year, so he won't be alonside Swayze!

Now that's an interesting mix. Perhaps Diesel and Jackman could pull it off, or could we see someone from this stage version appear alongside? Who would you prefer? I'd love to see Swayze take up a strong musical part like this.
