Movies That Would Be Too Expensive To Cast Now?
Thinking about movies early in actors' careers...
I volunteer....
200 Cigarettes.
What price a cast of Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Dave Chappelle, Kate Hudson, Paul Rudd and Christina Ricci?

A few biggies and a lot of little ones, but they sure can add up.

The Quick and the Dead - Crowe and DiCaprio.
It's somewhat amazing to me that in this day and age Clooney and co. have been able to work out the finances of the Ocean's movies to be able to pay everyone.

Besides, Katie wont do another movie till Cruise pays her the '5 Million exit fee' he promised her when he hired her to have his baby ...

I don't think any movie would be too expensive to cast, as long as the director and/or producer has enough cred to make the project desirable to the actors. QT manages to get plently of big name actors to do his movies for almost nothing, or at least he did in the past.

Batman Forever - Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey, Tommy Lee Jones, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Jon Favreau 
That would be more than $100M just for the cast.

I know it was a disappointment, but I saw this the other day and it had Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. Try getting them all together on a major production today.
Of course I have seen many movies loaded with little appearances by stars who could be considered names, and when you get a bunch of people who are buddies repaying favors, you can get quite a few names for cheap.

The Outsiders would be a killer though. C. Thomas Howell would come cheaper, but imagine the insurance on Leif Garrett.
