So, I asked the GTG guys at PAX Aus (just this weekend passed) "Who would you get to play Baron Blade in a SOTM movie?", and they suggested I ask here on the forums.
So I'm expanding the question.
Which actors/actresses would you cast to play various characters in a SOTM movie?
Now, I'm going to seperate this into two answers:
Current Day Casting - i.e. actors/actresses who are alive and current today.
Dream Casting - i.e. any actor/actress from any era/history.
I've been thinking about this but really haven't a clue, so just seeing what the SOTM ciommunity out there thinks.
When I think super hero/villian, I would have to say that Bruce Campbell deserve a role somewhere. Be it as a villian or a super hero, I think he would be great in this sort of movie.
On some consideration, I think I'd put Matthew Lewis in as Dr. Medico, and one of the Phelps twins (Fred & George Weasley from the Harry Potter films) in as the Argent Adept since I can't quickly think of any red-headed male actors & am trying to not have to do wig/makeup jobs except where required.
Tempest and Writhe feel older-ish to me -- i.e., closer to my age than to the ages of a lot of the actors already mentioned, who are in their late 20s and early 30s. Maybe take Noah Wyle and Tony Shalhoub, respectively?
Splicing these into my original post, and updating one other.
Jason Momoa as Haka. He looks the part, and his audition tape for Game of Thrones was him PERFORMING A HAKA. if that isn’t perfect casting, then I don’t know what is.
I've heard that same statement (maybe after I went to read the other thread). The guy I suggested for Haka is one of the Maori extras from the LotR movies.
That one is old enough, though, we could probably use a more current conversation…
