New to the forums so be gentle...
The perfect Howard Hughes, if Nolan decides to do his Hughes picture soon, would be Bryan Cranston. Nolan said the picture would be about Hughes later years when he was losing it. Well Cranston is 56 years old fits that well enough. He has proven to have comedy chops through Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle, as well as series Drama chops from Breaking Bad. He could balance the insanity/brilliance of Hughes with ease.
Cranston is one of the most underrated talents in the biz. I would love for him to get the spotlight of a Nolan film to illuminate his skill. Nolan said its the best thing he has ever written which is saying A LOT. He is long over due for an Oscar nod and I think it would be the perfect recipe for both to get a nod, in my humble opinion.
P.S. my head will explode next week. Breaking Bad Season 5 and The Dark Knight Rises in one week?!?! Kaboom.
Jake Gyllenhaal in some Psychological thriller or perhaps even a detective story of sorts. Gyllenhaal is good with those kinds of roles, plus he hasn't been in anything very good in quite a while now.

Someone is forgeting the underrated masterpiece Love and Other Drugs

Gyllenhaal doesn't impress me that often, but the films he has impressed me with were Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain. He is pretty good at playing a creepy guy, so it that could work well.
