The faces in it should represent a wide spectrum. Montag should be someone who can pull off playing a total complete tool for the first part of the story, and then grow a sack and play, not a hero, but someone who's become totally disillusioned by his place in the machine that he knows he needs to get out. The kind of people I'd look at for Montag are Matt Damon, CASEY Affleck, and John Cusack would be at the top of my list to test.

Thank goodness he backed out. It wouldn't have been a good match in my opinion. I still think Ewan would do a good job.

The title "fireman" has always me think of a bigger burlier guy anyway even though they are nowhere near the same thing.
