For the cast of "Taming the Shrew" i chose the following actors for the roles of Bianca, Katherine, Baptista, Gremio, Trenio, Lucentio, Petrucio, and Hortensio

Bianca would be played by Keira Knightly because she is true beauty and plays historic roles well

Katherine would be played by Helena Bonham Carter because this actress has done so well with playing some nasty roles in other movies

Baptista would be played by Alan Rickman because he has the certain air of a powerful charisma on screen

Gremio would be played by George Clooney for he is a classic debonair always trying to win the ladies for himself

Trenio would be Vince Vaughn because his personality fits Trenio's in the book, kind of free spirited and exubberant

Lucentio would be played by Brad Pitt because he is the outsider going for a hard task, and Brad ALWAYS gets results by the end

Petrucio will be played by Johnny Depp because no matter the task as hand, they just see it as a challenge and take it on head first

Hortensio would be played as Orlando Bloom because he is the original pretty-boy and would fall head-over-heels like in Pirates of the Carribbean
