Whe...Adam Beach will probably be good as Ira Hayes. When I first heard that Eastwood was making this film, he's the first one I thought of for the part. Good casting, in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>Great... now I've got Johnny Cash's "Ballad of Ira Hayes" stuck in my head...<BR/><BR/>I just hope the film is a bit more subtle than the book, early on, about who makes it off the island and who doesn't. In reading <I>Flags of Our Fathers</I>, some of the tension was sapped by my foreknowledge of who would die and who wouldn't. Still a good book, though.Jordan M.

The simple answer as to why some actors are billed over others is that out of the six flag raisers in Rosenthal's famous photo only three of them survived Iwo Jima. Eastwood's movie is principally about those three men. You can probably work out which ones survived from the actors billing on the poster!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-1159577982878119722006-09-29T18:59:00.000-06:002006-09-29T18:59:00.000-06:00I'm about 2/3 of the way through this book, and ca...I'm about 2/3 of the way through this book, and can see Phillipe, Pepper, and Hayes all fitting the roles nicely.
