Cast TMNT (2013)
 
Blame Tristan....

Who do you want to see play who in the upcoming Turtle film.
(Should we keep this to the Guys, Splinter, and Shredder as we don't know what we're gonna get, or even add Casey and April?)

Aztec General 04-26-2009 09:25 PM

Casey, April, and Shredder have all been confirmed. Read the press release it states it very clearly.

Ryan Reynolds- Casey Jones
Ken Watanabe- Shredder
Malin Akerman- April O'Neil
4 Martial Artists in Turtle costumes- TMNT :lol:

Hmmmm. I like the idea of Watanabe as the Shredder. Did google image search and found this pic. Good idea of Saki's business side of his operations. Secret to the public from his illegal side. I.E. the Foot and the Shredder.

Everyone does it seems :P

My picks (as noted in other threads).

Taylor Kitsch for Casey (say what you will about Wolverine and him as Gambit, he'd make a killer Casey).
Ken Watanabe for Splinter's voice. (Win, from a traditional perspective - but here's something to think about, Splinter developed the ability to talk while in America right? Doesn't that mean his talking voice would more likely be in the American direction, over the Japanese? I mean, he learns to talk in NYC, not Japan. As a rat, he'd have the visual understanding of what is happening, and maybe some basic vocal recognition, but his ability to talk and understand speech properly probably wouldn't happen until his brain develops/mutates along with his vocal cords... I'm thinking way too much into it, but I did this when I was casting my own projects and working for others... maybe it would affect the voice choice?).
Lauren German as a possible April (she looks good as both a redhead and a brunette, so you can go Mirage or 2k3/OT).
Terrence Howard would make an interesting Baxter. Charismatic, intelligent but capable of snapping into psychosis.
Tak Sakaguchi, or Kippei Shiina as Oroku Saki
Yukie Nakama for Karai.

That is Casey Jones! :)

Jester 04-26-2009 09:50 PM

Yes, but Tristan, if he learned Ninjitsu from Yoshi, he probably also "remembered" Yoshi's speech. Heck, I'd wouldn't be surprised if he spoke both English and Japanese.

Ok, now me:
The Turtles: The 2k3 voice cast. they have them down well.
April: Bryce Dallas Howard. Don't really know why, just like her.
Casey: I wonder what Chris Evans looks like with longer hair, he wouldn't make a half bad casey...right?
Splinter: *shrugs* You've all shot down my fave, Kevin Clash...whatever....:P
Shredder: Watanabe does look pretty Oroku Saki-esque in that suit.
Baxter: I hate doing these castings, because despite my love for movies and my watching many, I can never pull out actors who I feel would be good in the role....Samuel L. Jackson? :P

Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle 04-26-2009 09:56 PM

Here is my choice for April. Sienna Guillory, best known for her role of Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

Casey Jones... Johnny Depp

April O'Neil... Angelina Jolie

I don't care who the rest of the cast is. I'm just pulling hard for these two. How, in their long movie histories, they've never appeared in a movie together is just beyond me.

And don't tell me Johnny Depp is too old to play Casey. Johnny is timeless! He has hardly aged a day. The only other actor I'd love to see play Casey would be the late, great, Brandon Lee. But, sadly, he's no longer with us. So I've got to give it up to Johnny :).

This might be an insane suggestion, and I did make it in the worst cast thread too (and I've jokingly suggested it before), but what about Seth Green as the voice of Michaelangelo? Not doing a typical Mikey surfer voice or anything, just plain acting, with his own voice. I think it could bring a certain genuinity and warmth to the character. He's a good actor too (Just watch his work on Buffy and try not to care), so he could totally pull off the serious acting that will surely be needed alongside the goofball aspects if the screenwriter has any respect for the character. And he still sounds like a teenager.
Might work, is all I'm saying.

Steven Jay Blum - Raphael

Sam Jackson - Stockman
Seth Green - Michelangelo
Gary Jules - Donatello

(Post will be edited as ideas come to me)

Vivi 04-27-2009 04:36 AM

Not too sure about some of the casting but think that Cobie Smulders would make a great April. And maybe a clone of Elias Koteas from 1990 for Casey Jones :P

Watanabe as Shredder would be awesome

The Shelf 04-27-2009 07:11 AM

Add another vote for Ken Watanabe as Shredder! I don't know about any of the other cast yet, though.

TristanHuwJones 04-27-2009 08:12 AM

Putting these ones out there...

Leo's voice: James Marsden, Chris Pine, Mike Vogel
Mikey's voice: Kevin Connolly, Seth Green, Jason Mewes, Jonah Hill
Raph's voice: Kevin Dillon, Jason Mewes, Shiah LaBeouf, Chris Evans
Don's voice: Justin Long, Seth Green, Nicholas Brendon, Jay Baruchel

Vincent 04-27-2009 08:41 AM

I second Nick Brendon for Don. He has that great nice guy voice. Not sure about Shia LaBeouf as Raph, though. But I've only seen him in a couple of roles (which were kinda similar, and not to Raph), so I don't know.

I enthusiastically second that suggestion. She's a good actress- I really think she'd make a great April.

cqb101 04-27-2009 09:00 AM

Casey - Taylor Kitsch
April - Bryce Dallas Howard
Shredder - Ken Watanabe
Baxter Stockman - Idris Elba

Vincent 04-27-2009 10:11 AM

I gotta agree with Vivi that Cobie Smulders would make an interesting April. How about Neil Patrick Harris for Don? He's got a sort of similar quality to Sam Riegel and Mitchell Whitfield. Actually, come to think of it, I wouldn't mind if Sam or Mitchell did it again, as both have done very well.

cqb101 04-27-2009 10:15 AM

As for the voices of the turtles, I'd love to see Corey Feldman come back as Don. I still picture his voice whenever I read the comics. I like the previous suggestion of Seth Green as Michelangelo. That pick is totally out of left field, but it could actually work really well. Still no idea on Raph or Leo, though.
