4 Choices for April: Who Would You Have Cast?
 
This may have already been discussed, but I'm curious. There were four actresses up for April in the upcoming movie:

Jane Levy
Anna Kendrick
Elizabeth Olsen
Megan Fox

Obviously Megan Fox got the part, but out of these four, who would've you wanted as April and why.

I would've picked Jane Levy, because I was thinking of her as April before it even was announced that she was up for the part. I think she's a good actress and would fit well as April.

I agree with Jane Levy

TurtleMikey 03-18-2014 02:48 PM

Anna Kendrick, but I very much like Megan Fox in the role.

And Elizabeth Olsen is one the last people I'd cast as April.

I don't know any of these actresses other than Megan Fox, but Jane Levy looks like April, so I'll pick her :D

As a Mirage Purist, I'd choose Jasika Nicole, but...she's not listed.
Woe.

I love Anna Kendrick I just don't think she's "April" Jane Levys a good choice

Jane levy or anna kendrick would have been great, but personally i really wish they would have cast emma stone (I know she was busy with spider man) but....ive allways thought she'd make a great if not perfect april.

Lou 500 03-18-2014 03:32 PM

Anna Kendrick.

Agreed! Emma Stone would've been the perfect choice.

My choice for April is Elizabeth Henstridge from Agents of Shield.

ObiWanFan4life 03-18-2014 03:56 PM

Either Jane Levy or Anna Kendrick would be good choices.

I can't say I've seen Anna Kendrick or Elizabeth Olsen in anything. But, at least, people like them. I really feel like there's a broad enough range in how April is portrayed, that you could build an April with pretty much anyone. Zoe Saldana could nail the attitude I'd want to see in an April, but I'm sure looks would be a problem for some.

I suppose it depends on what kind of April you prefer.
In some instances, she's a struggling reporter. In other Turtles media, she's a young up-and-coming scientist and overall genius. Personally, having grown up with the 2003 show, I prefer the latter. However, seeing how the new film will once again interpret April as a reporter, I find myself at a loss as to who I'd cast. It would have to be an actress with enough acting chops to be in a film where she'd be making constant nods to anthropomorphic, adolescent, turtles who wear color coded Lone Ranger masks and have been trained in ninjutsu, and somehow make it all sound serious in reference, yet still without taking herself too seriously. Surprisingly, it's a lot more complicated in theory than I would have ever imagined.

Lol.....theres a lot of thought that went into this post.....:lol:
nice reply tho. Now that youve put it out there like that I can see your point.

Tora 03-18-2014 05:09 PM

Anna Kendrick would have killed it as April.

Shark_Blade 03-18-2014 05:35 PM

Elizabeth Olsen, she's amazing in Silent House (creepy movie). Go watch it now!

But I'm cool with Megan Fox either way. :D

Warhorse 03-18-2014 06:32 PM

Eh, Megan Fox, I don't care for the other girls at all. (I think I would have chosen Adrianne Palicki)

TrickOrTreater 03-18-2014 06:49 PM

These two

Jane Levy
Anna Kendrick

were BOTH up for the role?

And they went with Megan Fox?

They probably chose her for a few reason, but I imagine between their familiarity with her work and how infamous she is I imagine these were there two main reasons.
Hell I don't keep track of actors or actresses or directors, but when I hear the name Megan Fox I know who she is.
As much grief as the media gives her I really enjoyed her in the 1st transformers.

Well it's a good thing the people behind this movie were more concerned with actors with noteriety, instead of just casting actually good actors that look the part MORE than what they went with.

Film's in GOOD hands.
