But Will Ferrel for :mitd: is brilliant

The only person I could think of for Julio was Mandy Patinkin, but he's kind of already played that role whatwith Inigo Montoya.

Yes, it has been done before, but what the...

New plot elements need new casting, and it has been awhile. I like your cast, because I don't think I recognise a single one from previous threads. I guess I better head over to ye olde IMDB to educate myself...

I might edit in new comments when I'm done.

Will Ferrell - Monster in the Dark? Perfect!!

Monster in the Darkness: Will Ferrell

May somebody find me that Spock picture, please?

I disagree with Kira Clavell for Miko, though. There is always Ziyi Zhang (so she's Chinese, she also played a geisha).

And Wallace Shawn is not even green! Blasphemy!

Brad Dourif is a good call for the psychopathic maniac, as we all know how we pulls it off.

And Katie Bowden... I will later be bold enough to propose someone else, but for now...

Is she really 18?

I don't know if I could see Ejiofor as Roy; I'd keep on thinking of him as the Operative.

I'm sure someone's probably thought of this before, but for Roy, you have to go with Samuel L. Jackson. Elan is totally Owen Wilson. Carry on...

I've actually started to imagine Cary Elwes' voice for Julio. As for Xykon, I've started to imagine Jason Lee.

Mr Wizard

In a perfect world, Elan would be played by a young Cary Elwes. :)

In an animated picture, he still could...

EDIT: J Muller, kinda beat me... :D

You might as well suggest Halle Berry for Sabine.

Pretty sure he died recently. The old guy from the Karate Kid movies (had a cameo in Spy Hard if I recall also), right?

2006-12-18, 11:09 PM
Ugh... Kira Clavell is so wrong for Miko I can't even begin to say how much I disagree with it. Kira Clavell has more resemblance to a cheap car show model / porn actress than she does to Miko. The only thing she has in common with Miko is that she's asian.

Lucy Liu or Zhang Ziyi would have been a much better choice, and even they are not the best I can think of. (It's just that they're big asian actress names in the US)

Redcloak: Wallace Shawn

Brilliant!

Elan: Maybe the guy who does caboose on RvB or the guy who did Hammy in Over the Hedge if it's animated. Samuel L Jackson could only be Roy if it's animated too, because he's about 30 years to old.

:roy: Denzel Washington

:elan:/:nale: Jude Law
:sabine: Vivica Fox

:mitd: an unknown actor (actress?) for now, because we still don't know what :mitd: is! Or maybe Shatner... (think Miss Congeniality... "I don't have a gun...")

Underfoot
2006-12-19, 01:14 AM
Jason Lee as Xykon is absolutely brilliant. I'm thinking particularly of his performance in "Dogma." Along with him, Steve Buscemi as Redcloak would be fantastic.

Harry Lennix would be a great Roy, IMO. (Aaron from the film version of Titus Andronicus)
Alyson Hannigan for Haley. C'mon, it's gotta be a cute redhead, and Alyson Hannigan is THE quintessential cute redhead :)
Elan would have to be played by someone who can be a vapid pretty blond. Ryan Phillippe comes to mind.
Natalie Portman would be a hot Vaarsuvius.
Speaking of hot, how about Kristin Kreuk (of Smallville fame) for Miko?
Rosario Dawson would be a great Sabine.
I can't really picture anyone for the halfling and dwarf roles, though.

Mathias_Tanavar
2006-12-19, 01:29 AM
I think it would have to be an animated Movie... and as such the voices would be as follows

:roy: Samuel L Jackson
:elan: Cary Elwes
:haley: Tara Strong
:vaarsuvius: Dan Castellena... that man can do any voice... even an androgenous Elf
:belkar: It's gotta be Trey Parker or Matt Stone (I can't remeber which one does Cartman)

:redcloak: Definatley Wallace Shawn
:mitd: Robin Williams
:xykon: Tim Curry (Finest British Voice Actor IN THE WORLD)

All the Linear Guild should be voiced by their OoTS counterparts for added humor value

There's gotta be some sort of cameo for MeatLoaf somewhere...

And this thread has been done before

GSFB
2006-12-19, 01:37 AM
Jason Lee might be a good Redcloak, but I think a lich needs to have a deeper, more sinister voice. From the first appearance of Xykon, I have imagined the voice of the skeletal evil Ash from Army of Darkness.

Geoffrey Rush would be good... but too "been there" with Pirates.

I thought about Alyson Hannigan, but went with SMG because Alyson is too "cutesy" for the part.

Rosario Dawson = perfect.

Steve Buscemi would make another good choice for Belkar.

Ryan Phillipe just doesn't have the personality to pull off either the whacky Elan or the conniving Nale. It needs to be someone with comic genius who can also pull off being an action hero/villain. Maybe Ed Norton?

ORDER OF THE STICK

Roy Greenhilt: Will Smith
Elan: Nick Stahl
Haley Starshine: Saffron Burrows
Vaarsuvius: Tilda Swinton
Belkar Bitterleaf: Tony Curran
Durkon Thundershield: Pruitt Taylor Vince

Will Smith is the only real "Name" in the list, but I like the idea of him as a lead character and he fits the Fighter Physique and we all know he's got the comedic timing to pull off Roy. Nick Stahl (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/hh/0001763/HH/0001763/2523115_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Stahl,%20Nick) is one of the few people I think could pull off both Elan and Nale well. Saffron Burrows (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/5179/Events/5179/SaffronBur_Vespa_10323222_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Burrows,%20Saffron) fits my idea of Haley's look, and is able to pull off confident insecuriry well.

Tilda Swinton (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1632/Events/1632/TildaSwint_Vespa_633751_400.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Swinton,%20Tilda) would be an interesting Vaarsuvius. If one wanted to go more androgynous, Annie Lennox is another that pops to mind, and the height for her is more on. Tony Curran (http://imdb.com/gallery/hh/0192889/HH/0192889/iid_919870.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Curran,%20Tony%20(I)) as Belkar and Pruitt Taylor Vince round out my Order of the Stick.

THE LINEAR GUILD

Nale: Nick Stahl
Sabine: Jada Pinkett Smith
Zz’Ditri: Tilda Swinton
Yikyik: Andy Serkis
Hilgya Firehelm: Sarah McLeod
Thog: Nathan Jones
Pompey: Devon Murray
Yokyok: Andy Serkis
Leeky Windstaff: Spike Lee

These are, in part, reflections of the OotS. Nale/Elan and Zz'Ditri/Vaarsuvius are dual roles., as is Yikyik/Yokyok (great call on Andy Serkis btw - I agree 100%). I like Jada Pinkett smith as Sabine, just because she's a package deal w/ Will Smith from before. I think she also very much looks the part and plays a bitch/temptress very well.

I like Sarah MacLeod as Hilgya. For those who don't know her, she played Sam's Wife in LotR: RotK. Nathan Jones (http://imdb.com/gallery/hh/0428923/HH/0428923/iid_921237.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Jones,%20Nathan%20(I)) is just a perfect Thog for me, and Spike Lee would make a hilarious Leeky...

OTHER

Xykon: Bill Nighy (Great Call)
Redcloak: Eddie Izzard
Monster in the Darkness: Will Ferrell (Love It!)
Celia: Milla Jovovich
Miko Miyazaki: Lucy Liu
Lord Shojo: Siu-Lung Leung
Julia Greenhilt: Malika Haqq/Kadijah Haqq
Roy's Father: Chris Rock

I added in the requisite hotties (Milla Jovovich, Lucy Liu) from the short-run female characters, and just changed up a few small things. Like Eddie Izzard as Redcloak, Siu-Lung Leung (the #1 Killer from Kung Fu Hustle) and added Chris Rock as Roy's Dad. The idea of it being Chris Rock just makes me giggle.

J_Muller
2006-12-19, 01:44 AM
Mila Jovovitch? Brilliant!

I remember, at one time, suggesting Uma Thurman as Haley.

This one may be a little offbeat, but for an animation (I can't see OOTS as a live-action film, but it isn't a great step to see it as an animation) I would suggest Richard Briers for Lord Shojo or Elan.

He may not be well-known outside the UK, but he did the voices for Roobarb (a slightly breathy excited dog) which would have been great for Elan, and his Leonato in Much Ado about Nothing would adapt beautifully into Lord Shojo.

(And I can totally see Brian Blessed as Durkon)

Timberwolf
2006-12-19, 06:35 AM
Yeah but Miho doesn't go in for the moralising.

Plus she would kick Miko's butt through sheer awesomeness.

Anyway, yeah, Brian Blessed as Durkon would be amazing but how about giving Elijah Wood the chance to redeem himself after LotR by playing a proper halfling instead of that cutesy hobbit ?

I thought about Danny Devito... but then I thought Joe Pesci was better for the sheer brutality factor. Anyone who has seen Goodfellas will appreciate this.


Belkar = Seth Green

Oh, that's inspired!

Roy's dad: Eddie Murphy? He does a great job playing crotchety elderly men with the power of makeup.

Roy: yes, Will Smith. I'm shocked I didn't think of that one, actually.

New thought for Haley: Scarlett Johannsen!

As for Miko and being Japanese... what is this "Japanese" you speak of? Who are these "Asians"? There is no Asia or Japan in OotS. It's an alien world. Miko isn't necessarily even what we Earth-bound humans would call "Asian." She and her culture simply happen to have some similarities to what we might think of as Feudal Japan. Any dark haired action actress could play the part.

And now that I think about it... I'd like to see Jessica Alba as Miko. She looks GOOD with black hair!

I do like the idea of Will Farrell as MitD... given what we have seen thus far. I just don't feel comfortable assigning an actor or actress to the part of a character who is, at this point, still an enigma. When MitD is revealed, our choice now might be totally wrong.

There are so many other great character actors who could find roles in the movie. Where would you place Patrick Stewart, Rowan Atkinson, Tim Thomerson, William Smith (not Wil!), or John Cleese? Who else would you want to find a cameo for?

Am I the only one who sees Sean Connery as Julio Scoundrel?

Some other ideas (you can tell I've been watching a lot of Scrubs):
Donald Faison (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0265668) as Roy
Zach Braff (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0103785/) as Elan/Nale
Sarah Chalke (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0149950/) as Haley
Martin Klebba (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0458514) as Belkar
John C. McGinley (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0001525/) as Xykon
Judy Reyes (http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0721332/) as Sabine

Agreed. In Miko's own words, "What is this Japan you speak of? I have never heard of it before."

Devon Aoki isn't even Japanese; she's hapa.

A mixed Korean/Japanese myself, I feel a mild annoyance at the interchangability Asians seem to have in Hollywood-- but this annoyance is limited to situations where it's obviously out of place. Example: Zhang Ziyi as Nitta Sayuri = bad. Natalie Portman's awful accent in "V for Vendetta" annoys me more than Lucy Liu playing a Japanese woman.

So without race barriers in casting, I think Gackt would make a wonderful Vaarsuvius.

J_Muller
2006-12-19, 06:13 PM
Well not? I think that could work.

It would turn into, "I shouldn't be playing such a secondary character!" like her as Storm in X-Men.

She was actually so bad in the first two that there was a petition circulated to bar her from being in X-Men III.

GSFB
2006-12-19, 07:03 PM
I am not Asian, so pardon me if I offend anyone - please educate me if I need it. I don't understand why it should matter if a Korean plays a Japanese, or a Japanese plays a Chinese, etc. No one in my culture would care if the person playing the Egyptian was Scottish, or the person playing the Scotsman was French, as long as the portrayal was convincing. Quick: name that movie - I am guessing most of us in these forums really liked it!

I can see anger at things like Mickey Rooney playing the Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany's. But in that case, I see it as his portrayal played up really bad stereotypes, like thick glasses and a phony accent.

Actors and actresses make their living playing people they are not. If they play outside their nationality, outside their race, outside their age, or outside their gender, the only question to be asked is "was he or she convincing in the role?"

How about Linda Hunt as Lord Shoji? After all, she won an Academy Award playing a small old Asian man once...

And yes, as my Highlander reference indicates, Sean Connery as the Dashing Pirate is good. He's the actor I thought of when the character was introduced. But it has been 20 years since Highlander. I don't see him pulling it off today. But his "stuffed peacock" performance hits the Dashing Pirate perfectly.

The Extinguisher
2006-12-19, 08:09 PM
I'm pretty sure that it was said that aging, race and even death doesn't really matter, so why not Connery for Juilo. Thats who I keep invisioning.

A Danny DeVito Belkar would be awesome. And Dane Cook needs to be in there somewhere. He just does.

tojo102
2006-12-19, 08:45 PM
Danny Devito, IMO, is more dwarf like than hobbit like, so I would cast him as Durkon. I can't believe that no one thought of Verne Troyer (aka MiniMe from the Austin Powers movies) as Belkar. Other possibilities that occur to me would be maybe Woody Harrelson as Elan/Nale and the girl who played Donna on That 70s Show as Haley....I can't think of her name.

Meh, if we can accept Russell Crowe as an ancient Roman general or Mel Gibson as a scott, I think Zhang Ziyi as a Japanese should be okay had she actually done a good job at playing a Japanese.

Though, to be honest, like somebody has pointed out before, Miko doesn't HAVE to be Asian. That's just how I envisioned her, is all.

Personally though, I don't actually think Zhang Ziyi would make a very good Miko simply because her look and acting style is far more feminine and demure than what I see in Miko. I see Miko as needing somebody with a sharper edge to her personality.

I'm gonna lean heavily on my preconceived notions that a nation of universally black haired, darker-than-causcasian skinned people with Samurai, with names like Hinjo, Shojo, and Miko Miazaki might just possibly be based just a tiny bit on Japan a little.

I just don't think Chinese people look Japanese, and it screws with my suspension of disbelief when Hollywood grabs the first Asian they can find for the Asian role.

Yes, they mess with the caucasians too, but within reason. Schwartzenegger playing a Russian, ok, but I don't think he'll ever play a Spaniard.

There's a reason John Wayne as Ghengis Khan was a bad, bad, bad job of casting.

Well, depending upon which region of Chinese you pick, they MIGHT be able to pass for Japanese. (One of the benefits of having a nation is the conglomeration of over 40 different minority groups, I suppose.)

Zhang Ziyi, however, has very classic Chinese features. (Her and Gong Li do share certain aspects)

Gackt, on the other hand, is a fantastic visual choice for V. Too bad the man can barely speak enough English to find his own foot.

You know, some of my suggestions were serious. Donald Faison would make a great Roy, and Martin Klebba is an actor who is relatively unknown, meaning no one would look at him and think "it's Mini-Me!" Also, I said it as a joke at first, but now I can't help but picture Xykon's lines being delivered in John C. McGinley's "I'm always right and here's an elaborate insult explaining why" voice.

I'm going to go with an animated movie cast, so I don't have to worry about matching up looks, just voices. It's the easy way out, but hey, is there any other way to do an OotS movie? :smallwink:

The Order of the Stick

To me, :belkar: always has and always will, sound like Cartman. Especially when he says, "Sweeeet."

:xykon: personally sounds more comical-scary than truly intimidating. I would think Sarge's voice in RvB. Maybe Gilbert Gottfried (he has to be in here somewhere).

Alan Rickman as :redcloak: fits... Deadpan sarcasm is Redcloak's specialty.

I totally agree with mc chris as :belkar:. Belkar's voice would be great sounding all high-pitched and screeching.

Miko... I would just cast Sarah Silverman in School of Rock style. Attractive yet undeniably Bitchy.

Lewis Black has to be in. Not sure as who, but he just has to...

Antonio Banderas would make a great Julio and Yokyok voice. I've always imagined the two as somewhat Spanish-accented.

Pompey would be played by Seth Green with a breaking voice (ALA the Pimply-Faced kid in Simpsons). Geek done by a Geek.

Not much of an idea for the others.

I still stand by sarah polley from dawn of the dead as haley, she is a redhead who kicks ass, and has a degree of hotness to her

julio scoundrel so needs to be antonio, as much as I like mandy patinkin, it needs to be someone who still seems virile. although bruce cambell is good with the witty repartee to be a dashing swordsman.

xykon as performed by christopher walken (or if voiced, by the imitation of christopher walken done by jay mohr) would be interesting. it has that creepy sinister sound a lich should have, but can pull off comedic lines.

yikyik should be done by corey feldman, angry and short, 50/50 where it counts for the dead kobold.

alan rickman is redcloak, every role outside the potter movies has him able to deliver those ideal lines with perfect precision

roy, I still go with gunn from "angel"

sabine I go with christina milan. singer but she has the body and the voice to pull off succubi.

durkon-colm meany. he has the ability to pull off both a thick and a mild accent, can go from sympathetic to judgemental, and can see him asking WWTD

belkar-keiran culkin.

Monster in the darkness-john tuturro

Elan/nale-micheal rosenbaum (if you ever seen zoe duncan jack and jane, you could see he could pull off being likeable niave and dull witted. and he makes his biscuits and gravy money playing lex luthor. guy does the gambit)

only reason why I go with miko being done by lucy lui, she does the dragon lady so well. she can do the "my way or the wrath of god" perfectly, and have her soft moments, all the while still being friggin hot.

thog and varsuvius seem to be near impossible to cast.

Christopher Lee can be, oh, I don't know, Leeky or something, if it's animated (as it should be). Or if he's special-effected. :)
I still say James Hong would make a perfect Shojo, whether it's animated or not.
Tim Curry as V for the win :)

I dunno about putting Hamil in as Thog in a live-action version, even made-up and effected, but he could probably do just about any voice at least as masculine as V, in an animated version. I've heard a lot of range out of his voice acting.
I do think Nicholson would do a lot better job with Belkar than most though. I think that's why I'm able to fight the impulse to hear Cartman now that he's been mentioned. Nicholson > Cartman. :)

I just had a thought about the ULTIMATE :elan:/:nale::

If we can go back in time and pick anyone, no matter how old or dead they are now, then :elan:/:nale: should be played by Danny Kaye.

If you haven't had the joy of seeing a Danny Kaye movie (I'm guessing many of you haven't), then you need to go find yourselves a copy of The Court Jester. Not only is it a hilarious medieval/fantasy swashbuckler musical comedy epic, but the main character actually plays someone who very much exemplifies the best and worst of both :elan: and :nale:.

Plus, you get to see two of today's most famous little old ladies, Angela Lansbury and Glynnis Johns, when they were both very young and very HOT.

I know, that probably sounds scary to most, but they were both reall lookers in their time, especially Johns (you won't believe she's the same person who plays so many senile old granny women today).

I am confident that anyone who has seen and remembers The Court Jester will agree.

No no no no never not in a million years forget it.

Thog, simple though his character is, requires acting ability Vin just hasn't got.

Vin Diesel might - might - be able to pull off the "ogre-complaining-about-pay." It's a stretch, but he just might have an outside shot of pulling it off.

He's got no chance at getting Thog right. Michael Clark Duncan with a deep, but vaguely Cookie Monster-ish voice. That's your Thog right there.

As far as animated options go, what about John DiMaggio (Bender B. Rodriguez) as Belkar?

:belkar:: I've also always said Vernes Troye. He's perfect for him. If only he talked in Austin Powers...
:elan::nale:: I haven't seen any actor for this. Owen Wilson has a whiney voice... maybe if we were to get a time machine and pull out Gene Wilder.
:thog:: Am I the only one seeing that massive basketball player from the new version of The Longest Yard?

Yarr I suck. :miko: has made me say something I regret. Thank you hanzo for pointing it out! The girl from house of flying daggers wouldn't be that great anyway. I guess I have to wait until the movie channels in Israel start showing Deathnote to post about her.

But yeah, John Rhys-Davis seems to make the perfect gimli.

I could see the Monster in the Dark as someone who rhymes with Rim Carrey, but I think Will Ferrel's voice would fit the role better. I dunno. Its just that Will Ferrel can be insane and complaining when he needs to be, or perfectly calm when he needs to be. Jim Carrey has no calm state.

Personally though, I don't actually think Zhang Ziyi would make a very good Miko simply because her look and acting style is far more feminine and demure than what I see in Miko. I see Miko as needing somebody with a sharper edge to her personality.

I've not trawled through the entire thread, but I must push in and say that the idea of Rosario Dawson playing :sabine: is perfect. They already look alike!

I don't think Samuel L Jackson can be Roy, as it's too old. Using the youngification technique (like they did at the start of X-Men 3 on Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan) for the whole film would probably be far too expensive to even contemplate, so it's got to be someone else. Chiwetel Ejiofor I can't quite see... maybe it's just seeing him as the Operative, but he seems too elegant in his style to be Roy with a greatsword or club.

On the other hand, James McAvoy could make an excellent Elan/Nale.

I don't understand why you're all casting women in the role of :vaarsuvius:. Yes, I could see Tilda Swinton in that role - but honestly, I think she's too skinny. I always imagined V as kind of "pudgy".

I would recommend Nathan Lane, instead. He does an excellent drag, which could be perfect for V. Besides, Men in Drag indicate comedy - a character like Tilda Swinton's Gabriel (from Constantine) is far more serious and sinister.

As for :roy:, what's with the Samuel L Jackson? I just can't see him as Roy - he is far too "cool". Roy is not cool, he is wellmeaning, but barely struggeling to keep on to the reins.

:roy: Wil Smith has got the acting chops and the comedic timing to really pull this off.
:belkar: Tough one. There's a lot to be said for Joe Peschi (goodfellas, casino, leathal weapon), Danny Devito (taxi, batman, twins) and Seth Green (austin powers). The first two have the leagues more talent. Probably Peschi.
:durkon: Bob Hoskins (hook) is perfectly suited for this role.
:elan: / :nale: is a really tough call. I'll go with the Ashton Kutcher suggestion I guess.
:thog: Ron Pearlman (hellboy, alien resurrection) is the best suggestion for this role.
:haley: Sarah Michelle Geller (buffy) of course.
:miko: I have to go with Kate Beckinsale here too. She can play intense passably well.
:mitd: Robin Williams would be better than Farrell (since I generally can't stand Farrell's acting), plus Williams does amazingly good work with voices.
:roach: These would have to be very recognizable voices. Too bad Rodney Dangerfield has passed on, he'd be perfect (a 'no respect' roach). Gilbert Godfried, David Spade and ... I can't think of her name, but she's a comedian with a pretty shrill and nasal voice. You see her sometimes in cameo roles. Very sarcastic and caustic. Maybe it'll come to me.
:sabine: Rosario Dawson is a nice choice.
:vaarsuvius: Tilda Swinton (narnia, constantine) of course.
:xykon: Tim Curry (it) would be much better for this role than the other suggestions. He can do comedy quite well.
:redcloak: Alan Rickman (dogma). The back-and-forth between Rickman (redcloak) and Curry (xykon) would be fantastically funny.

Julio Scoundrel couldn't be Bruce Campbell, much as he should be in here somewhere. He's just too big. Either Cary Elwes or Mandy Patkinin
Lord Soho would be David Carradine.
Yikyik / Yokyok -- Antonio Banderas
Pompei -- well, since Peschi got the nod for Belkar, Seth Green gets to play Pompei.
Hilgya is probably Milla Jojovich
Roy's Old Man would go to Samuel Jackson.

Well, that's all I got. Lot's of repeat suggestions

There really are few actors out there that have the talent to really pull off the good/evil twin bit.

I submit Gary Oldman. He can do both gullible, bufoon genius (Rosencrantz and Gildenstern are Dead) and diabolical, needlessly complicated evil genius (almost everything else, but Fifth Element stands out).

Johnny Depp also has the skills, but is a bit too represented lately.

If we'd let that fly, we might as well suggest J-Lo for Sabine or Haley, and Ahnold for Thog.

Thog is played by Jeff Daniels

I'm working under the premise that the movie would be animated rather than live-action.

If an OOTS movie were ever made as live-action I wouldn't go see it.
The mere idea conjures memories of how terrible the Dungeons and Dragons movies were.

Cartoons like this should stay cartoons; it is exceptionally rare that a cartoon translates well into live-action.

And for the brief cameo of Dorukan- Michael Gambon. (Not for HPATPOA/GOF, for the storyteller-greek myths)

what's with people putting down names like Eddie Murphy and Samuel L Jackson? Those guys are just too old for the role, no matter how you cut it. Hell, even Will Smith is already pushing the age envelop a little bit too much. Jackson is too much of a hard ass to be playing a well meaning, but frustrated young adventurer. Eddie Murphy is also too seasoned to play that role as well.

What about the Wayan's brothers? One of them might be able to pull off a decent Roy Greenhilt.

Believe it or not, I actually detest the idea of mini-me being Belkar. Don't forget Mini-me, for all intensive purposes, has pretty subpar motorskills. Personally, I'd rather see one of the members of Mini-KISS play Belkar before I'd want to see mini-me do it.

On the other hand, if we can simply use the same technology like they did in LOTR, hell, Joe Pesci would be a pretty good pick.

The core of thog's character requires a lot of comedic timing more than just muscle mass. Vin Deisel, on the other hand, only has two expressions he does well: angry and brooding. The Rock, well, a bit more leeway there. But his voice and acting style would probably make him a better Roy then a Thog. Thog needs to be somebody strong, but funny. (More emphasis on the funny) the muscle mass can always be added on with make-up and what not.

Cold and emotionless?? try watching VIN in anything other than Riddick movies.

Any movie of OOTS has to have Vin Diesel in it just on sheer principle of the fact that he is probably the most popular person to have ever both played and publicly admit to playing D&D.

I've had an idea:

The person who played Boomer in the latest Battlestar Galactica as :miko:!

GSFB
2007-01-09, 11:45 PM
I've got it:

as long as we are using special effects to shrink big people to halfling size, then why doesn't Vin Diesel put on his angry face and play Belkar?

after reading all of these, some other suggestions have solidified in my mind as being the best so far:

:roy: Will Smith
:vaarsuvius: Alan Rickman (think Galaxy Quest, not HP)
:xykon: George Carlin
:durkon: Brian Blessed
:sabine: Rosario Dawson

and for Roy's Dad: Cedric the Entertainer!

You should all seriously check out "The Court Jester" for Danny Kaye, though... best ever person for :elan:/:nale:, even if he has been dead for some time (being dead never stopped anyone in D&D, just ask :xykon:)

Hyrael
2007-01-10, 01:11 AM
I've actually started to imagine Cary Elwes' voice for Julio. As for Xykon, I've started to imagine Jason Lee.
He does do a good villain (Azrael). Give Earl/Brodie/Banky/Pickle-F#cker a nice hollow vocal effect and CGI replacement, and you have a evil lich sorceror.

Hyrael
2007-01-10, 01:34 AM
:xykon: personally sounds more comical-scary than truly intimidating. I would think Sarge's voice in RvB. Maybe Gilbert Gottfried (he has to be in here somewhere).
Plan B will utilize a little something I like to call: the Minioncannon. USing the power of the minioncannon...

Kilbia
2007-01-10, 10:21 AM
I like the idea of Christopher Lee being in there somewhere, but I cannot see him as Xykon. Maybe I haven't seen him in the right movies, but I just cannot hear the line "Oh look. I just regenerated a finger. Guess which one." and hear it in his voice. Alan Rickman seems a better choice for that part.

Oh, and much love to whomever suggested Rosario Dawson as Sabine! I've only seen her as Gail in Sin City, but I loved her there.

If we're doing animated with voice actors, I think Connery would be a great Durkon. But at the same time, if we're doing animated with voice actors, I think you'd want to keep it down to one or two big names (probably Roy and Xykon) and then use the rest of the roles to cast some unknowns and/or up-and-comers (or down-and-outers).

fangthane
2007-01-10, 12:28 PM
I'm telling you guys... Michael Clark Duncan would be a perfect Thog. :)

Another thought I had was that Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall) could do a marvellous job with the monster in the dark. Dave Foley could play Guy Baker (the teleport wizard) beautifully. Bring in the other Kids as demonic roaches, and Paul Bellini in a cameo as one of the exceedingly stupid cops from whom Elan and Thog escape.

As to Vin "I can't act my way out of a wet paper bag with the assistance of scissors" Diesel, no. Besides, he, Elijah Wood and Patrick Swayze are disqualified. So's Jack Vance and some others.

I've got Cary Elwes voice stuck in my head for Julio Scoundrel... of course the character reminded me of a cross between Anthony Hopkins in Zorro and the Dread Pirate Roberts anyway.

my take on -

OOTS

:roy: = Samuel L Jackson (and not just because he is black and bald)
:durkon: = John Rhys-Davies (type casted - yes, but he's better than Lee Arenberg from the D&D move)
:haley: = Amanda Peet (smart and sporty)
:elan: = Alan Tudyk (most Happy-go-lucky person I can think of)
:vaarsuvius: = Tilda Swinton or Jaye Davidson (Jaye played Ra in Stargate... he has some pretty good androgenous pictures out there)
:belkar: = EXACT opposite of Elan... hmm...

Linear Guild

:nale: = The same as Elan, duh
:thog: = Ron Mueck - Voice (The voice of Ludo from Labyrinth)
:sabine: = Gina Torres - It just fits with Alan Tudyk being Elan/Nale


Xykon's group

:redcloak: = Alan Rickman
:xykon: = Bruce Willis as voice-over would work dunno
:roach: = Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice voice, hey it was a good roach voice)
:mitd: = Dunno... somebody with good voice-overs

Azure City

:miko: = Lucy Liu (maybe, she can be a bit more harsh than just stick-up-the-butt)
Shojo = Ken Watanabe (dunno why, just impressed with his acting)

Setra
2007-01-10, 02:26 PM

Xykon as Cleese would be excellent, actually. Thinking Basil Fawlty, but Undead =D

2007-01-19, 04:28 PM
Got some more ideas:

:mitd: Bill Murray anyone? He is both funny and somewhat tragic if needed.
:xykon: I was thinking about Anthony Hopkins. We all know he's a great actor, who I think can do both funny roles and evil roles (You gotta admit: Hannibal Lecter is both a creepy and charming guy...)
:roy: Will Smith is still an option, if you ask me, although he's gotta work on the pissed off look.

Gang, Samuel L. Jackson is way, WAY too old to play Roy. Not even close - he's 56! Roy has a sixteen-year-old sister - I'd guess he's no older than Haley's 24, or at least not by much. Maybe 26-27 or so. Even Will Smith is probably too old for that part; he's 38.

Make-up and/or digital effects will work magic on some people, but some guys are indeed too old.

This one may be a little offbeat, but for an animation (I can't see OOTS as a live-action film, but it isn't a great step to see it as an animation) I would suggest Richard Briers for Lord Shojo or Elan.

He may not be well-known outside the UK, but he did the voices for Roobarb (a slightly breathy excited dog) which would have been great for Elan, and his Leonato in Much Ado about Nothing would adapt beautifully into Lord Shojo.

(And I can totally see Brian Blessed as Durkon)

Shojo could be played by Chia Hui Liu (Pi Mai in Kill Bill).

Using Dates and intervals given in Origin of PCs, and assuming that roy started fighter colledge at 18-19, and studied for 4 years, Roy is at the very minimum 25 years old, and could be 27.
Will smith would be good, but Im not sure he can pull off Bald. And he might need to be a wee bit Youngified.
