Miramax will be trying to bring Archie's babes, Betty and Veronica, to the big screen. Since it's Miramax, Gothamist assumes that the casting and production values will be better than the awful 1990 TV movie, Back to Riverdale. The movie would play up the whole Betty and Veronica appeal split: Good girl next door, bad rich girl.
Betty & Veronica give reader advice these days.
Gothamist's casting thoughts: Zooey Deschanel as Betty, Selma Blair as Veronica, Topher Grace as Archie.

Laura Elena Harring as Veronica, Naomi Watts as Betty, Justin Theroux as that dark haired kid with the dopey beanie hat!
Kirsten Dunst as Betty and Kate Beckinsdale as Veronica.
Zooey Deschanel would be perfect as Betty
you must have a real blond to play betty...zooey isn't even close!! i think naomi is too old, kristin is good, but obvious...that's a tough one.
But Zooey looked so cute blond in the annoying Jimmy Fallon video.
Fine. Um, Brittany Snow from American Dreams.
There could be the Teen Beat version:
- Hilary Duff as Betty, Kristen Kreuk as Betty, Shia LaBoeuf as Jughead, and I dunno as Archie. I know too much about teen stars, but not all.
Brittany Snow would be good, though her look may be a bit too innocent and not tomboyish enough. I think Kristen Dunst gets my vote, as obvious as it is. Or maybe Amanda Bynes - she isn't blond but has the right attitude. And for Veronica, Selma Blair would be great, but other options are Eliza Dushku or Katie Holmes. Topher Grace would be perfect though! Don't know who else could play it better.
please, no more shia talk. project greenlight has me at my shia limit(!) --- you're right on with selma blair... she couldn't be more typecast.
Doesn't anyone remember reading the comics with Betty and Veronica being teens?
I agree completly with that Jen girl. Kristen Kruek and Hilary Duff for the parts, and that other guy too. right on Jen!!!!!!
all i know is pic some one that looks like them snow is good 4 betty

..definitely hilary duff for betty and kristin kreuk for veronica!!!!! THEY ARE SO NICE AND GORGEOUS!!!! and shia laBoeuf for jughead! hes too kyoote..
Alexis Bledel with lighter hair for Betty, or Brittany Snow/Scarlett Johannson. Kristin Kreuk for Veronica.
I think Rose McGowen would make a perfect Veronica. As for Betty I think Zooey Sechanel would make a perfect Betty. The look and everything goes together, though Rose McGowen is not a teen and neither is Zooey I do believe they can pull the two roles off very good. Alot of movies have had older people play teenage roles such as Girl Interrupted, Angelina Jolie's part was suppose to be about 17 and Angelina JOlie was beyond 17 when she did it, Yet she still gave the audience the impression of thats how it was suppose to be.
I totally luv Shia L, and he'd make a great Jughead. Topher grace is also a good idea 4 Archie,or maybe Toby Maguire. For Betty, I vote 4 Kirsten Dunst she's perfect 4 the role, even if it is pretty predictable. And for Veronica, i'd say Rose Mcgowen, even if she is a bit old 4 the part.
Some people don't realize that actors can wear realistic wigs or dye their hair. I think Kristen Kreuk looks like she could be Veronica, but her smile is just WAY too sweet, and that's not really how Veronica is...Brittany Snow is definitely perfect for Betty, and off the top of my head, maybe Jessica Alba for Veronica??
I think that John Cusack would make a great Jughead, only an older Jughead
Kristin Kreuk would make a perfect Betty.
hey yall,
i disagree with all of u!! i mean, all these actresses and actors you all have mentioned are- well, old. they shud be younger. my vote for archie goes to justin timberlake- not coz im in love with justin or sumthin- coz, he makes the perfect archie.. coz everytime i flip thru a comic i dunno, i c justin as archie.. they just look alike lol. and justin's funny.. so.. as for betty, i say that pirates of the carribean girl. kiera or sumthin.. and ron, well, i dont kniw. not selma , she's too old. just as long as she looks rich, snobbish and pret ty.. i' just hopin this turns out good!
i think that they should cast actors and actresses that aren't very well known, for two reasons: a) to hopefully produce some new talent
AND b) to make sure viewers don't just think of them as the actress or actor from this movie or that movie or whatever (eg; i think that Rupert Grint would make a good archie if he was older, but everyone would recognise him as ron weasly, and it would kinda ruin the movie...)
Betty: No idea
Veronica: Christy Carlson-Romano (Jennifer Stone - Cadet Kelly, the voice of Kim Possible) or Margo Harshman (Tawny Dean - Even Stevens)
Jughead:Patrick Fugit (Paul Trout-White Oleander)
I agree that they should cast this film with fresh new faces. I think the actors chosen to play these parts should have a cartoony look about them, i.e. large eyes, really wide smiles, very bold features. Someone with that really sunshiney vibe like Reese Witherspoon would make a good Betty, but I still vote for a newcomer.
Does anyone know about casting calls for this film, etc? I would love to get involved in any way.
Topher Grace would be absolutely PERFECT for the part of Archie! He needs more parts, man! He's talented! And cute! Still, he could make a good Jughead also...
if topher grace would be archie...i think danny masterson could pull off a jughead...he's already got lazy looking eyes and a detached/apathetic vibe about him....
I think that Hillary Duff should play Betty and Lindsay Lohan should play Veronica.
The perfect cast would be:
Betty Cooper:-Hilary Duff
Cheryl Blossom:-Lindsay Lohan
Veronica Lodge:-Christy Carlson Romano
Archie Andrews:-Chad Michael Murray
Reggie Mantle:- Corey Servier
Jughead Jones:-Scott Mechlowicz (from eurotrip)
Kristen Kruek is a little out of the age range and to sweat to be veronica
Paris Hilton as Betty, Nicole Ritchie as Veronica. Now that would be a must see.
Sorry but NO! NO! NO! All of these suggested actors would be wrong for the part. I'm sorry, but I think unknowns should be cast! The casting is really important!
I think the best casting options in looking would be: Selma Blair, Rachel Blanchard,and Topher Grace for Veronica, Betty and Archie; but if we really want teenagers for the cast (which I don't think is that important considering that Selma frequently appears as teenager like in Cruel intentions, or the Scooby Doo cast, and in general all teenage programs and movies have over 20's actors)the cast would be: Hillary Duff for sweet Betty, Aaron Carter or Frankie Muniz (excepting that he is too short) for the part of Archie, and Keira Knightley playing gorgeous Veronica (she has had dark hair looking great) All of them are less than 20.
Hi again! I would just like to add that I agree that although Kristen Kreuk is a beautiful dark-haired girl, she looks TOO sweet for playing Veronica. Keira looks sweet also, but a bit more femme-fatale without loosing her fresh-teenage look.
Hi again! it seems I don't have anything better to do, right? It's just that I have checked the ptions given for Jughead and Reggie Mantle and I absolutely agree with the options of Shia LeBeouf and Corey Servier!! I also agree with Lindsay Lohan as Cheryl Blossom, she's perfect! Just the type of girl that is always winner.And I would like to add something about my suggestions for Archie: Frankie Muniz is not cute at all, but very sympathetic, just as I perceive Archie,I mean, I haven't ever understood why in the world all the girls are after him. Besides, he also has thick eyebrows just like Archie, but he is too short. On the other hand, David Gallagher (not Aaron Carter as I wrote mistakenly) is sweet,cute (as all the Riverdale girls perceive Archie), has also thick eyebrows, his hair is kind of redish, he's tall and... he's a teen!
I totally think this:
Betty Cooper: Hilary Duff
Veronica Lodge: Kristen Kreuk
Cheryl Blossom: Totally Lindsay Lohan right attitude
Jughead: Shia LaBeuf?
Archie: ????????
what do u dudes think?
Repeating my cast: (all 20 or less):
*Betty Cooper: Hillary Duff
*Veronica Lodge: Keira Knightley(with black hair)
-Kristin Kreuk looks TOO sweet-
*Archie Andrews: David Gallagher
*Jughead: Shia LaBeouf
*Reggie Mantle: Corey Servier
*Cheryl Blossom: Lindsay Lohan
ok alot of these are good but heres what ive got:
betty- kristen dunst
veronica- im not sure of her name... that brown haired girl from confessions of a teenage drama queen... carla santini is her name in the movie?
archie- topher grace... or jake gyllenhal? or ryan gosling?
jughead- danny materson
cheryl blossom- linday lohan
reggie- adam levine LOOKS the part..?
Betty:Hilary Duff
Veronica:Kristen Kreuk (have u not seen Eurotrip?)
Archie: Hayden Christensen (i think thats how u spell it)
Jughead: Shia Lebouf!
It's a pitty that this project has not shown any advance up to now, because it's the type of fresh teen movies that are so needed.
My cast would have been the following, or at least, young actor about these ages and features:
BETTY: HILLARY DUFF (BUT NOW, SHE'S BRUNETTE!)
VERONICA: KEIRA KNIGHTLEY
ARCHIE: DAVID GALLAGHER OR Haley Joel Osment

JUGHEAD: SHIA LE BEOUF
REGGIE: COREY SEVIER
CHERYL: LINDSAY LOHAN (BEFORE SHE GOT THAT SLIM AND BLONDE!!)
MIDGE: A GIRL THE TYPE OF JULIA, FROM TATU
I HAVE TO AGREE AND DISAGREE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE:
AGREE-
Topher Grace is the #1 and ONLY choice to play Archie.
Reason: He starred in That 70s Show and
has that retro-groovy-vibe...definitely
Archie.
DISAGREE-
Do NOT everr...in my lifetime....*blood booiling..do not EVER cast HILARY DUFF, LINDSAY LOHAN or any of those cheap, pseudo-thespians to play BETTY COPPER.
Reason: Self-explanatory.
AGREE-
Selma Blair will nail the part of Veronica.
Reason: She already established this
"cold-brunette" persona in Legally
Blonde.
DISAGREE-
Kristin Kreuk should NOT play Betty or Veronica.
Reason: She is not a blonde, neither will she
pass as a blonde. Plus, she is too sweet
to be the cruel-hearted Lodge.
AGREE-
Zooey Deschanel can play Betty.
Reason: I haven't seen her act, but I've seen
her pictures and she sorta reminds me
of Betty. Just as long as her voice is
not deep.
they should get new faces and make them look like the comic, like they did with the scooby doo movie! that would work best in my opinion
i think jen and lena are right hilary duff would be perfect for the part as betty, for veronica we can get someonewho plays a part as: a selfish brat, who thinks she's all that and treats betty like a big idiot, but sometimes she is nice to her, and she is really rich, has loads and tons of clothes, and ya, (some1 who can play as rich and snobby)that would be awesome!!
I think the perfect cast for Betty and Veronica would be Hilary Duff and Kristen Kreuk. they would make the perfect Betty & Veronica.
The perfect cast would be:
Betty Cooper:-Hilary Duff
Cheryl Blossom:-Lindsay Lohan
Veronica Lodge:-Christy Carlson Romano
Archie Andrews:-fresh new guy
Reggie Mantle:- Corey Servier
Jughead Jones:-Scott Mechlowicz (from eurotrip)
GET UR AGE RANGE RIGHT!!!!! u cant hav an 18 yr old betty cooper and a 26 yr old veronica lodge (HILARY AND KRISTEN)....topher grace is old! he's already acted as a married man in "mona lisa smile" the best would be to look for a fresh archie.
Kristen Kruek is a little out of the age range and to sweat to be veronica
I agree with her!!
guys no way on earth should H duff play betty I think Zooey Deschanel should cuz she reminds me of Betty but she might be too old. I think that they sould all be played by SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD unkown people that we have never heard of
love, the truth
i think amanda bynes with a blonde wig could make a good betty but veronica im not sure archis could be played by................um....maybe i dont know but reggie should be played by some ego tripping star(or in other words most stars could probly be reggie) though hes a jerk so why bother with his part.
ron from harry poter could make a so so archie
who hates reggie
wait ronnie could be played by anne hathaway even though anne is little out of the age range
