4 Choices for April: Who Would You Have Cast? - Page 2

Hmm...
Well, if they were going for a younger April O'Neill (like the new show), then I would have suggested Abigail Breslin. She's around the perfect age to pull of the role (only two years older than me) and judging by her ever growing filmography, she's consistently good in everything she's been in, even when she was fairly young (Little Miss Sunshine comes to mind).

Although, if you want a more mature actress playing an April in the vein of the eighties cartoon, I'd recommend someone like Rebecca Mader.

Many come to mind like Jane Levy, Isla Fisher, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Christina chastain or even Christina Hendricks.

she's just the best look and choice overall

Something really funny, when I was a kid, and watching the OT, and then seeing the 1990 movie, I really didn't care for that April, and actually thought the main singer, Cindy Herron, from En Vogue, looked more like OT April in their Hold On music video.

Really, just put on your color blinds and look, she's the tall one of the group. At least I thought she looked like old school April in this video.

Kendrick hands down.

To be honest, the last person i wouldv'e chosen is Megan Fox but meh, what's done is done.
I personly would have liked to see someone a bit older take on the role,
Rose Byrne, Lauren Graham etc

Really? Last person I would have chosen would be an actress I can't stand. I don't care how many trophies this chick has, I would have had a sh!t fit if Carey Mulligan was going to play April. Cannot stand that chick at all! She ruined Drive for me, and that movie could have been awesome if it weren't for her bland acting.

This won't be the first time or last time that an undesireable actress was picked for a major role. Hell, even Katie Holmes, who isn't all that great, was in the popular Batman Begins.

Elizabeth Olsen.

Anna Kendrick would have been great in the role. Admittedly, the only film I've seen her in is 'Scott Pilgrim VS The World' (which happens to be one of my favorite films of all time), but I feel that she would have been able to pull off the role.

Olmosa · 03-22-2014, 11:28 PM

Anna Kendrick is annoying and nasally. But if I were the casting first or and had one choice, it would definitely be...RACHEL McADAMS!!!

*Warhorse* · 03-22-2014, 11:39 PM

Ooooh, I love Rachel McAdams now. One of my favorites, but so severely underrated.

If they were going for a younger April, I would so have picked Chloe Grace Moretz. We already know she is fit and can do action flicks.

Awesome, I've also thought Emma Stone would have been good in the role!

graphic_content · 03-23-2014, 10:58 PM

When I heard Megan Fox was cast, I pretty much had the same reaction that everyone else did...

...why?

And to make matters worse, Michael Bay used it as a vehicle to announce that she was back in his good graces. (as if we were all holding our breath waiting until the day that happened)

will she be great? one can hope.

was there a better choice? yes, and her name is Anna Kendrick.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 03-28-2014, 01:39 AM

Emma Stone!

That would actually be a very compelling choice. I dig her. Especially on Red Eye.
