It's very simple. Pick a movie and cast it.
Take an existing movie and recast it, take an existing series/property and cast it for a reboot, bring a popular franchise to the theater and cast it or take a movie of your own and cast it.

If it's a well known movie or property, then maybe casting is all you need, if it's something you came up with on your own, maybe you add some plot and/or character description.

Either way, your movie, your cast, your call.

Who's wants to go first?

I'll start us off with an easy idea to get into(or you can choose one of your own).
Lets Reboot X-Men for the Bigscreen.

I've always disliked the core concept of X-Men. You're telling me some genetic mutation lets you control the weather? Get outta here.

But it gave Halle the best hair of her career.

Professor X - Patrick Stewart (already perfectly cast)
Beast - Kelsey Grammer (already perfectly cast)

Who would you cast for the rest of the roles?

Gambit, Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Iceman, Rogue, Colossus, Magneto, The Brotherhood, etc. etc.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #4 on:** April 20, 2010, 03:56:47 PM »

Brock Lesnar as Colossus
Steve Carell as Morph
[some pornstar] as Rogue (makes you thankful for google.com)
Caterkiller as Deadpool
UncleBob as The Nippler
The Ultimate Warrior as Magneto
Stephen Colbert as Max Headroom

I think they should do another live-action TMNT movie. Use CG turtles if you have to, but assuming suitman technology has evolved since the 90's, I imagine suitman actors would be just fine. Baxter Stockman and his army of Mousers could be the villain.

You'd really only have to cast two big-name actors. One for Baxter and one for April.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #6 on:** April 20, 2010, 04:27:31 PM »

If it's the version of Baxter Stockman who mutates into a fly, Jeff Goldblum for the in-joke.

Halbred · « **Reply #7 on:** April 20, 2010, 05:03:21 PM »

No, the comic version. I wouldn't mind tossing in a giant mouser for the finale.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #8 on:** April 20, 2010, 05:17:34 PM »

But who would voice the Turtles and Master Splinter?

EasyCure · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2010, 09:27:20 PM »

i hated the lil wimp they got for gambit in Origins. I'd put Clive Owen in that bitch, even if he's a lil older.

Caterkiller as Deadpool for sure

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2010, 09:41:36 PM »

I think Deadpool was cast perfect already, just written badly.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 20, 2010, 10:49:51 PM »

Cyclops was well cast too, and Night Crawler was decent.

How about the "bad guy" from Avatar as Cable?

edit: This Guy

Kevin Hart as Spike.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2010, 12:05:29 AM »

One-eyed Willie from the Goonies as Cyclops.

ThePerm · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2010, 03:39:31 AM »

hehe, i nominate this thread until I come up with a better one

For X-men, i mean we are talking about a different cast all together even if I like existing cast members, so im going to create a cast that is impossible to pay for...and in fact im going to make it made in 1981

Cyclops- Bruce Campbell
Storm-Pam Grier
Rogue-Dolly Pardon or Goldie Hawn
Jean Grey-Raquel Welsh
Gambit-Kurt Russell
Collosus- Dolph Lundgreen
Wolverine-Clint Eastwood
Beast-anthony hopkins
Professor X-Ben Kinglsey
Magneto-Marlon Brando
Sabertooth-Burt Reynolds
Mystique-Carrie Fisher

if i'd make it now...
Cyclops- Chris Pine
Storm-Zoe Saldana
Jean Grey- Rachel Macadams
Psylock- Olivia Munn or Moon Bloodgood or Megan Fox
Rogue- Jaime Pressly or Heather Graham
Collosos- Roland Kickinger
Gambit-Josh Holloway
Wolverine-Karl Urban
Beast-Alfred Molina
Jubilee- Katie Leung
Professor X-Terry O'Quin
Magneto-Rutger Hauer
Sabertooth-Eric Bana
Mystique-Sophie Howard

**** yeah Olivia Munn FTW

I think it would be coo if there was a new Batman TV show
Obviously it would be a more modern take than the Adam West show, an id have it on Showtime with an hour format, that way it can get the depth I wanted. If i were to hire the writing crew, id get the same people who did Batman: TAS.
Because it is on Showtime and because there is no censorship it would be possible to go pretty deep with plots that couldn't be done before. Also, because of the episodic format it gives guest stars shedule flexibility

I don't know who I would have play Batman, he'd have to be an unknown and audition well. If i can't find who I want I would just go with Matthew Fox

but for Villains I have a clearer idea on who would be good

Joker-Maculy Culkin
Riddler-David Tennant
Two-Face-
Catwomen-
Penguin-Bob Haskins
Gordon-Tom Skerritt
Alfred-

Funny. I just read that Batman 3 (after Batman Begins & TDK) will be the end of a Trilogy. I was gonna suggest we cast the next batman series of movies, but a Weekly Cable show sounds even better.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2010, 11:24:55 PM »

Okay, okay, let's not get crazy here. Batman casting is near and dear to me. A premium cable one hour drama would work really well.

Season One: Batman Year One
Season Two: The Long Halloween and the fall of Harvey Dent
Season Three: Dark Victory and the introduction of Dick Grayson

But Maculy Culkin as the Joker??

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 21, 2010, 11:27:29 PM »

I wouldn't pick him as the Joker, but he was pretty crazy in that movie Party Mosnster, not Joker Crazy, but I'm sure he could ramp it up into something passable.

He'd probably make a better Harley Quinn though

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2010, 02:49:32 AM »

id cast him in the show, but not a movie

They actually are making one. It will be the 5th movie in the timeline.

I've got a little twist on this topic.

How about we name an actor/actress and then put them in the perfect role for them.

For example, if I named Will Smith, what would be the perfect role for him to play?

Get outta here. They made the last one GC because it was actually cheaper to produce than live-action. But if what you say is true, I will FILL the cup.

I auditoned for it infront of Ernie Reyes Jr. I just learned a new routine like a week before, started off strong, then I drew a blank, and couldn't believe it. Oh well live and learn.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air?

Genre answer: Black Panther not really
