He'd look more like what Casey Jones is supposed to look like than the TMNT are supposed to look like, you know, TMNT instead of fugly Shrek wannabes.

it gets crazy here late at night. I think there's too much Tequila and not enough napping for the filhos. Alan is a very good looking mens, but he has no charisma, no passion, no sexy, and he is blonde, and Jones is not blonde.

Although to his credit I have a hard time imaging Raph's voice coming from him, so Raph and Casey might at least sound different if he did both. Although that might mean he'd need to play Casey's tone of voice softer than he should.

Ritchson is handsome, sure, but he's still an awkward Raph, and an incredibly wooden actor. I think he's more suited to the CW than features, but what eves.
Again, like Fox, he seems to be a decent enough guy, and I have nothing against him, but man, he just doesn't belong in TMNT. None of these actors do (maybe shredder, but he's the outlier).

Again, Fictner has been great in other films, even Fox has been interesting in other stuff ( Jennifer's Body was fun). Arnett bothers me, (which I thought would work for an annoying character like Vernon, but didn't) and Noel's face is simply very punch-able. I think Knoxville actually phoned in his lines, by phone or skype.

So yeah, there's no right way to go with Casey. If he's perfect, the rest of the cast looks worse. If he sucks, no one cares - if it's ****ing Will Arnett, then that will confirm once and for all that Bay is intentionally and deliberately trying to piss us off. And when this happens, and suddenly 30 "fans" will spontaneously announce what a great idea it is on this board, and some members here will drink the Kool-aide, convinced that it's their sworn damned duty to loyally support TMNT no matter what, and the war of TMNT 2 starts...just remember

.....it's all part of the larger marketing plan. It's stunt casting in reverse. And it makes the Bayster Smile.

Yay.

CM Punk. I think he'd be great.

Madonna and Eminem aren't blondes either, but that doesn't stop them from bleaching their hair!

Yay.

The actors you would want in a TMNT film are never going to happen. For starters, from a production view point, you would want actors that won't shine so much that they would take away the lime like and luster from the TMNT, and second, no TMNT movie has had great actors to begin with except for the CGI movie, so why would we expect that now?

You've never seen the first TMNT movie after all these years? Wow! I think it's still on Netflix, go watch it.

"There's no way an actor like Morgan Freeman/Liam Neeson/Michael Caine would ever be in something as silly as a Batman movie!"

-Probably a lot of people around 2003-2004 before Batman Begins

Wouldn't it be great if we could get somebody with enough respect and love for the Turtles that Nolan had for Batman?

People might take the Turtles as seriously as they should be taken.

Would be awesome, hope it happens in our lifetimes. (Edit: Maybe as TMNT-loving generations continue to take over from prior generations it will become more likely.)


Casting should just go like this... Ok actors, raise your hand if you were a big TMNT fan as a kid and still are. Ok, you all, get in line. Who right now has TMNT stuff displayed at home? Alternately we'll accept comic collectors, tattoo-havers, etc. Ok, that group, to front of the line.

Anyone who didn't make it into the line... I think there is another movie casting next door, try there.

Repeat for directors, producers, and anyone trying to submit/pitch screenplays.

Did I stutter? Like I said, the movie did not have great actors. Passable, but not great, and certaintly not in that movie.

[Jester]

I'd watch ANYTHING with Judith Hoag or Elias Koteas in it.

[Leo656]

,,, even "Crash"?
