Casting Ideas For Shredder
Assuming Shredder will be in the film, of course. With filming set to begin relatively soon we should start to hear news about casting pretty soon. I don’t know many Asian actors who could play a good Shredder (mainly Japanese, although I assume the makers are open to other Asian nationalities). Any thoughts?
|
Whether Shredder will be in the new film or not, good choices for a live action Shredder in general, per my view, are:
|
I'd like a Shredder who for once didn't speak perfect English like he was from here. I'd like more of a Japanese accent. I don't really care who plays him as long as he looks the part but that's my one request.
|
I do think we will get a body actor and a voice actor much like we had in TMNT I and TMNT II. So I amend the original question and ask who do you want as the body actor and who as the voice actor?

Donnie Yen
Mark Dacascos Rick yune voiced by peter cullen or james earl jones! |
Jackie chan!

Sho Kosugi
the guy is in his sixities now, but tell me wouldn't have made a good Shredder http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ayForDeath.jpg http://www.shokosugitheninja.com/Sho...njaerobics.jpg http://findmeaninja.com/pages/sho%20...th%20sword.jpg Ken Watanabe http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4...aoioo1_400.jpg http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/I...WbPI3wlopl.jpg I wonder if Jackie Chan could play a convincing Shredder. He has been playing more serious roles lately. |

Jackie Chan is better suited to play Hamato Yoshi. It'd be interesting to see how he would portray Shredder, but unless he's acting like the OT counterpart, his reputation as a protagonist (especially in family films) would make it awkward and out of place. I don't think many people could connect to that.
It would draw more of an audience, though. |
Ken Watanabe is a GREAT choice
|
ken watanabe is perfect actually....
|
You read my mind. Ken Watanabe is a perfect choice for Shredder!:tcool:
Jackie Chan could do Yoshi. If not, he could do Splinter (unless Splinter is Yoshi) while Jet Lee is Yoshi.:tidea: |
Ken Watanabe got the looks. How about Ian Anthony Dale?

Watanabe has that evil remorseless look.

I've been saying that I want Ken Watanabe to play Shredder for a while. Not only is he a good actor, but he's big enough so he could be intimidating. He could could play both Oroku Saki and Shredder, as opposed to having seperate actors for the body and voice. Plus, he's actually Japanese. I don't understand all these people that say they want Jackie Chan or Jet Li to play Shredder, they not only are kinda short (and Jackie is getting a little old), but they're Chinese.
|
I don't think producer care that much about where is an actor from when they are looking for an "asian guy".
Of course Watanabe would be the most awesome choice for all of us, but maybe Tony Ja could to an acceptable Shreeder. Not Jackie Chan please, he already ruined my Mr. Miyagi memories |

I don't know many Asian actors period, actually ... Though seeing as he'll be wearing a mask most (maybe all) of the time, plus probably be "dubbed", why bother wasting any money on a famous (well, quasi-famous) actor at all? I mean, they could pretty much just go down to the local sushi bar and, like, hire the big guy in the back who chops up the squid. |
Hiroyuki Sanada

Ken Watanabe would be a great choice to play the Shredder/Oroku Saki.
