Whatever happened to the "live-action 1998 Disney Sailor Moon movie"?

Hey, Bob, did we ever finish casting the "live-action 1998 Disney Sailor Moon movie" that Lisa Vanette has in her collection? I noticed some discussion about it in the [fluff] Now Playing, from the Whole Fenspace Catalog thread.
We had a partial cast list:
Serena: Kirstin Dunst
Amy: Lacey Chabert
Raye: Natalie Portman
Lita: Jessica Alba
Mina: Ariana Richards
Molly: Amber Tamblyn
Queen Beryl: Geena Davis
Nephlite: Antonio Banderas
I don't think we ever cast Darien, Melvin, Jadeite, Zoycite, Malachite, or any of the supporting characters.
Hmmmmm... (consults Wikipedia) ...Tom Criuse was between movies in 1998 - Jerry Maguire was '96 and Eyes Wide Shut was '99. Do we have a Jadeite?

I think that was as far as we got, but I do like the idea of Cruise as Jadeite -- although given Kirstin Dunst's height at the time, we could get away with him as Mamoru.

Cruise as Mamoru/Darien would be a case of Dawson Casting, which we've been trying to avoid.

What about DiCaprio as Darien?
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”

DiCaprio was 24 in 1998. A little old... but not horridly so.

The right age, yes. But he doesn't have the right look, IMHO.
