The best actor to play Casey Jones in sequel? - Page 2

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 12-21-2014, 08:15 PM

while not the best choice..it wouldnt surprise me to see Marky Mark in the role

he is on bays hot ticket at the moment

*Luckyday* · 12-21-2014, 08:15 PM

Not to be a buzz kill but does it matter who's best to play what role if the script is still bad? Will Arnett was the best choice for Vernon and it still didn't do anything for what end up being on screen.

How good actor can be to work a crappy script? That's a rare gift.

That's what I'm saying; he could single-handedly elevate this thing. When he plays anger or someone in danger, you believe it. When he's funny, he's f*ckin funny. He's so good it could rub off on Fox or at least force her to up her game

He just said recently he thinks he's doing another Transformers "soon" (he also said this smiling, meaning he's fine with doing another Age Of Extinction. I don't get it lol)

Punk and Wahlberg are both way too old for what they're going for. Although Punk would be interesting. But that wouldn't happen just because of the age, and his tattoos are too distracting. Covering them up would be a huge hassle on the part of the studio. Not that they wouldn't or couldn't do that, they likely wouldn't want to unless they absolutely had no better choices.

Think actors in their mid/late 20s.

I liked the first 3, even the second one. I view them as so bad their good films.

4, was awful. Just a joyless mess. Phoned in performances from everyone.

I personally loved the character development of Optimus (Peter Cullen killed it!) and hearing Frank Welker as Galvatron was cool but that's pretty much it...

Not really Arnett's fault. He did the best he could with Vern, which isn't a great character to begin with.

And Transformers 4 is a hard film to be on board with (even on a guilty pleasure basis). John Goodman's trigger-happy Autobot was the only thing I didn't find painful.

*Autbot_Benz* · 12-21-2014, 08:41 PM

AOE is my favorite second from the first one. Optimus had the best character devlopement in the movie.

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 12-21-2014, 08:44 PM

AOE has good robot moments...but it lacked true story...and it really didnt live up to the world TF3 gave us

again plot holes

but then again going into Transformer films for story your setting yourself up for disappointment

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 12-21-2014, 08:51 PM

Joseph Gordon Levitt would probably make a good Casey.

B-Man · 12-21-2014, 08:52 PM

Paramount should've kept Knoxville for Casey. 1.49 of solid proof:

kev trashcan · 12-21-2014, 09:22 PM

for this version I would just pick someone awful. why waste someone that will play Casey well on this version? with that being said I pick macaulay culkin for this version.

not try to start any thing But have any of you even thought that they might(i know you dont think they will) fix things? what happens if the sequel really does build upon the movieVerse in a very positive way. And one way to do that is to get good actors. Heck anything could happen( i understand many of you dont think it would ever happen)

But im just saying.

What happens when they just make a Miracle(in your eyes) and knock the screen play out of the park. lets say the modify the turtle enough to please most. what happens if Megan pulls it out of her ass and surprises you all. What if everything just clicks with this next movie. then what?

I understand you all think that is impossible

I haven't heard the interview myself, but I thought it sounded pretty interesting. I'll try to find out which podcast it was.

*Powder* · 12-21-2014, 10:48 PM

I too heard he was interested a week or two ago, through a friend who loves wrestling, but I was unaware of the WWE's interest in buying the property. Huh! That would have been terrible. I wonder who else was eyeballing the TMNT. I myself am not a fan of wrestling, I just happen to know of CM Punk & feel he'd both look the part & carry the role, as the character is not unlike his on-stage persona, from what I've seen.

My coworker could have been remembering it incorrectly, so I'm not 100% sure on that.

The podcast was The Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana, episode 226 or 227. Anyone wanna check it out? They're pretty long, and I'm not much of a wrestling fan. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say about it, though.

Personally I can't see myself sitting through it, but I've got a homeboy who eats this stuff up, so I'll pass it his way. As for whether or not that rumor is true, there's always a chance. I've heard stranger. Knowing there could have been a TMNT film starring Billy Crystal & Gallagher is enough for me to say confidently that anything could happen.

*Cure* · 12-21-2014, 11:00 PM

Aaron Paul is not too good for these movies. He did Need for Speed.

B-Man · 12-21-2014, 11:39 PM

A non-actor to be one of the leads in the sequel cause he looks the part.

No-ones suggested a better choice than Aaron Paul so far.

*Powder* · 12-21-2014, 11:43 PM

Aaron Paul is a talented dude but he's about as good a fit as strawberries & piss. & he's too short.
