There's no question that comic book films are huge part in pop culture, this thread is for you to take any Superhero, DC, Marvel, or independent, it doesn't matter, pick a superhero and choose an actor or actress to portray them and who you think would be best to direct the film.

He had blond hair and a terrific build. (Oh, he could also send those fish-telepathy circles out from his head that went "Nnnggg-nnnggg-nnngggg!") He may have played Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and Tarzan, but he was born to be Aquaman! |
Re: Dream Superhero Movies. Cast and Director
I have one for the villains, Gian Maria Volonte as The Joker. Volonte gave excellent performances as Ramon Rojo and El Indio in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy, particularly El Indio.

Re: Dream Superhero Movies. Cast and Director
I've never even heard of half of these characters...I guess I need to read more comic books, my history with comic books is limited to Richie Rich and Archie Andrews.

There were (and are) many genres. What I call "kiddie comics" - things like Richie Rich, Casper, etc. There's funny animal comics - about a million of them (think Mickey Mouse). There's comedy, western, romance, teen-romance, horror, sci-fi, satire, crime, history, classic literature, war, and of course probably one of the largest & most successful genres... superhero! |
Re: Dream Superhero Movies. Cast and Director
Bumping this thread because I had to update some of the lapsed images for my era-specific Justice Society and Justice League of America fantasy casting calls (see above)!

The Fantastic Four Directed by Gary Ross Why? Because Gary Ross directed Seabiscuit. An emotional story on an epic scale with a handful of characters. Plainly put, he can sell it. He can sell the Fantastic Four was a family, and thats what seperated them from the rest. Plus Reed Richards is a workaholic explorer. At their best when it was Stan Lee/Jack Kirby, John Byrne, or Jonathan Hickman, they were a family of explorers. The Fantastic Four movie has to have a different rhthym than the rest of the Avengers, and X- related fare. Reed Richards played by Ben Stiller http://www.hdnicewallpapers.com/Wall...iller_Face.jpg If youve seen Permanent Midnight, then you already know Ben Stiller can act, and with the heaviest material, Reed Richards wouldnt be too much of a stretch, BaDumCh! :rolleyes:. With the salt and pepper hair he actually does look like Richards, and could breath some life into Reed like RDJ did Iron Man. Stillers dry humor would be perfec for Richards hypergenius perception. The Invisible Woman played by Charlize Theron http://ste.india.com/sites/default/f...throne-700.jpg Why not? Shes delivered in every capacity in the business, paid her dues, and deserves that superhero paycheck which gives dividends for a lifetime. Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch played by Bradley Cooper http://ell.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/01/...r-kpq5xc-h.jpg Johnny has to be Sues younger brother, (Theron & Cooper are the same age, thatll work), but most importantly Johnny Storm was a brash, good looking, smartass. His dynamic with Ben Grimm and their ball breaking, fights, and pranks were everything. :lol: Bradley Cooper would nail Johnny Storm to-a-T. Ben Grimm aka The Thing played by Gerard Butler http://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/...?itok=4MXkg-x_ The hardest one to cast is Ben Grimm. He has to be lovable, and hilarious when getting his balls broke. He is the lug everyone loves, and that takes something thats not taught in acting schools. Damn, James Gandolfini would have been a perfect Ben Grimm. Gerard Butler is the right age and personality to do the voice work for the ever lovin blue eyed Thing. He would have to try and sound a little Jersey though, shouldnt be too difficult. Doctor Doom played by Mads Mikkelsen https://www.redbulletin.com/sites/de...?itok=mwyoCU8d Not only does he sound like someone from a place called Latveria, but Mikkelsens dramatic acting shown on Hannibal completely sold me he could pull of Victor Von Doom. I could see him and Stiller having great dialogue interaction, and his snobbery towards Grimm and the rest...of humanity I guess! Dooms a incredibly resourceful megalomaniac and I think Mikkelsen would feel unleashed playing someone so forceful after having played Hannibal so subtle & sinister. |
