How many times have you read a book and thought to yourself, "Man, that would make a great movie"? If that thought occurs, you can't help but indulge in a bit of fantasy casting, trying to think of the best actor or actress to bring out what you so loved about a particular character, or try to figure out the right director to bring out the right tone for it all. Even more fun if you don't restrict yourself to contemporary choices (for example...... I dunno, Jean Harlow, Aaron Eckhart and John Leguizamo star in The Great Gatsby, directed by Billy Wilder).
