I agree with John Cleese as the angel and I love Tracey Ullman as Agnes Nutter. I guess since I've always described GOOD OMENS as the Apocalypse as done by Monty Python, the inclusion of any Pythons, such as Cleese and Gilliam, just seems like a natural. Speaking of which, what about Eric Idle as Crowley? you would have that sense of long association that both the actors and the characters share. As much as I like Johnny Depp as Crawley, I wouldn't want any mega-stars in the roles, it would pull the story out of balance. .
I like the idea of Freddie Boath (kid in The Mummy Returns) as Adam. The kids in Harry Potter are all a bit too old for Them, but then Boath may be so by that time as well. I just lthe look of him or someone like him in that role. Maybe Alan Rickman as the older witch-finder and Martin as the younger one?
I could get through DOGMA , but then I am not a fan of either Damon or Affleck.

Neil's already got the black leather....Tracey Ullman would make a good Agnes Nutter, I think...
Jane Lowry, going back to lurk mode, but pensively....

"My name is Francis Tolliver, in Liverpool I dwell
Each Christmas come since World War I, I've learned its lessons well
That the ones who call the shots won't be among the dead and lame
And on each end of the rifle we're the same "
final verse of "Christmas In The Trenches " by John McCutcheon
