The best actor to play Casey Jones in sequel?
 
If Casey Jones appeared in the next movie, who is the best actor that you believe would be suited for the role.

It's gotta be the best love interest for April to have and best partner for Raph.

Someone who has skilled acting ability and combat technique.

Honestly, this is the one area I don't care about. Casey bores me.

out of curiosity what is wrong with evans?...aside being stuck in the marvel world

my vote would go to probably a wrestler...triple H from back in the day or Cena


or go left field give it to Cruise or Crews

Ewww those are terrible choices Bahston, no offense bro.

And I think the "No Evans" remark comes from people's tendency to take the lead actor from Recent Popular Movie In The Genre and plug them into every single movie that comes out.

No clue, personally. I'd kinda rather see a lesser-known guy but that's not how this company rolls.

Part of me thinks/fears that stupid internet video with John Morrison was actually a back door audition tape. I... think they might actually do that. If so, double-F*** that movie.

bushido 12-21-2014 07:33 PM

joe manganiello ! But they will cast a young guy for sure so I don't know

Commenter 42 12-21-2014 07:35 PM

Jane Fonda. She's a bad ass.

LeoRaph 12-21-2014 07:35 PM

For this version, Channing Tatum, he's actually a pretty good actor (I think he's gotten better over the years anyway...), he's funny charming, can play the slightly dumb version of Casey and can match Raph Hulk.

I'd like to see the role go to CM Punk.

I would too and I think he has expressed interest in doing it.

I've been hearing people blindly throw his name around for the past 7 years on here, because they liked his largely forgettable turn voicing CJ in "TMNT".

Then again, it just might take Captain ****ing America in a hockey mask to tangle with these turtles.

understandable....though makes me surprised we havent heard Sarah Michelle gellar for April chants

Cure 12-21-2014 07:58 PM

Since everyone is mentioning wrestlers, I think Seth Rollins most looks like him. He isn't bad on the mic, either, which translates into being a decent actor most likely.

B-Man 12-21-2014 08:02 PM

Aaron Paul. He's a good actor. He'd bring the same edge Koteas brought. He's relatable but can also seem a bit crazy. He & Fox could have chemistry. He's popular. He's not a predictable choice but still realistic. If Cranston could do Godzilla, Paul could do Turtles. As I said before though, it'll probably be someone safe & dull like Liam Hemsworth.

Well, we did, or at least I recall that we did.

Anyways, screen junkies mentioned CM Punk recently, and also mentioned that Dave Green is a friend of their show...

So, anyone wanna pony up? Why the push for this dude? I'd never heard of him, Until now...

Aaron Paul's too good for this version, maybe the reboot down the track but not this...and no he would have no chemistry with Fox, he needs 'something' to react to :twink:

Autbot_Benz 12-21-2014 08:14 PM

Hilarion Banks would be good he played Casey Jones in that Fan Film back in 2011

The Boston Ninja Turtle 12-21-2014 08:15 PM

while not the best choice..it wouldnt surprise me to see Marky Mark in the role

he is on bays hot ticket at the moment

Luckyday 12-21-2014 08:15 PM

Not to be a buzz kill but does it matter who's best to play what role if the script is still bad? Will Arnett was the best choice for Vernon and it still didn't do anything for what end up being on screen.

How good actor can be to work a crappy script? That's a rare gift.

That's what I'm saying; he could single-handedly elevate this thing. When he plays anger or someone in danger, you believe it. When he's funny, he's f*ckin funny. He's so good it could rub off on Fox or at least force her to up her game :lol:

He just said recently he thinks he's doing another Transformers "soon" (he also said this smiling, meaning he's fine with doing another Age Of Extinction. I don't get it lol)

Leo656 12-21-2014 08:26 PM

Punk and Wahlberg are both way too old for what they're going for. Although Punk would be interesting. But that wouldn't happen just because of the age, and his tattoos are too distracting. Covering them up would be a huge hassle on the part of the studio. Not that they wouldn't or couldn't do that, they likely wouldn't want to unless they absolutely had no better choices.

Think actors in their mid/late 20s.

I liked the first 3, even the second one. I view them as so bad their good films.

4, was awful. Just a joyless mess. Phoned in performances from everyone.

I personally loved the character development of Optimus (Peter Cullen killed it!) and hearing Frank Welker as Galvatron was cool but that's pretty much it...

Not really Arnett's fault. He did the best he could with Vern, which isn't a great character to begin with.

And Transformers 4 is a hard film to be on board with (even on a guilty pleasure basis). John Goodman's trigger-happy Autobot was the only thing I didn't find painful.

Autbot_Benz 12-21-2014 08:41 PM

AOE is my favorite second from the first one. Optimus had the best character devlopement in the movie.

The Boston Ninja Turtle 12-21-2014 08:44 PM

AOE has good robot moments...but it lacked true story...and it really didnt live up to the world TF3 gave us

again plot holes


but then again going into Transformer films for story your setting yourself up for disappointment

LeotheLateBloomer 12-21-2014 08:51 PM

Joseph Gordon Levitt would probably make a good Casey.

B-Man 12-21-2014 08:52 PM

Paramount should've kept Knoxville for Casey. 1.49 of solid proof:

kev trashcan 12-21-2014 09:22 PM

for this version I would just pick someone awful. why waste someone that will play Casey well on this version? with that being said I pick macaulay culkin for this version.

not try to start any thing But have any of you even thought that they might(i know you dont think they will) fix things? what happens if the sequel really does build upon the movieVerse in a very positive way. And one way to do that is to get good actors. Heck anything could happen( i understand many of you dont think it would ever happen)

But im just saying.

What happens when they just make a Miracle(in your eyes) and knock the screen play out of the park. lets say the modify the turtle enough to please most. what happens if Megan pulls it out of her ass and surprises you all. What if everything just clicks with this next movie. then what?

I understand you all think that is impossible

A few of my coworkers are pretty big wrestling fans. They mentioned a recent podcast interview with CM Punk where he mentioned that WWE was one of the other companies considering a TMNT buyout, pre-Nick. They were apparently after it for the movie deal, and eyeing CM Punk as Casey.

I haven't heard the interview myself, but I thought it sounded pretty interesting. I'll try to find out which podcast it was.

Powder 12-21-2014 10:48 PM

I too heard he was interested a week or two ago, through a friend who loves wrestling, but I was unaware of the WWE's interest in buying the property. Huh! That would have been terrible. I wonder who else was eyeballing the TMNT. I myself am not a fan of wrestling, I just happen to know of CM Punk & feel he'd both look the part & carry the role, as the character is not unlike his on-stage persona, from what I've seen.

My coworker could have been remembering it incorrectly, so I'm not 100% sure on that.

The podcast was The Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana, episode 226 or 227. Anyone wanna check it out? They're pretty long, and I'm not much of a wrestling fan. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say about it, though.

Powder 12-21-2014 10:55 PM

Personally I can't see myself sitting through it, but I've got a homeboy who eats this stuff up, so I'll pass it his way. As for whether or not that rumor is true, there's always a chance. I've heard stranger. Knowing there could have been a TMNT film starring Billy Crystal & Gallagher is enough for me to say confidently that anything could happen. :tlol:

Cure 12-21-2014 11:00 PM

Aaron Paul is not too good for these movies. He did Need for Speed.

B-Man 12-21-2014 11:39 PM

A non-actor to be one of the leads in the sequel cause he looks the part.

No-ones suggested a better choice than Aaron Paul so far.

Powder 12-21-2014 11:43 PM

Aaron Paul is a talented dude but he's about as good a fit as strawberries & piss. & he's too short.
