Cast the Mirage TMNT movies... - Page 2

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 07:04 PM

Yeah, but consider that Ashton Kutcher was recently strongly considered to play Supes, and you can see how WB is catering to the youth market. They've gone on record saying they think super-hero flicks should be "teen movies" designed to attract females and their dates (thus casting someone girls think is "dreamy" like that idiot Kelso in a role he has NO business being considered for), so nobody older than 23 is gonna be wearing the cape anytime soon.

And yeah Supes is pushin' 70. Good thing he washes those tights each and every day.

The Fliescher cartoons are still some of the slickest animation ever. I have all the episodes on DVD.

Man, that's just wrong. Well, lately I've despised DC/WB/AOL Comics. Who is Kelso? Nickname for Ben Affleck?

How many are there? I have two DVD's, one with the original nine and one called "Lost Episodes" with 8 more. Is that all of em?

Just wait until we here news about the cast for the Mini series.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 07:30 PM

Well, WB can blow me. But after reading Superman/Batman #2, my faith in DC itself has been restored. Anyone not reading this book is brain damaged. Or at least depriving themselves of one of the best-written books EITHER character has been in in years.

Yeah, those are the two DVDs I have. As far as I KNOW, that's all of them.

And "Kelso" is the character Ashton Kutcher plays on "That 70s Show". I don't like him at all as an actor, so I refer to him by that name as a joke. I do that with people I don't like.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 09-21-2003, 07:43 PM

But Leo, the red masks aren't something that was only used while they were developing the TMNT. They were, and still are the official look of the TMNT comics. The changes from short bandanas to long bandanas, and the change from tied belts tp leather belts are more along the lines of development changes. And, I think Bruce Cambell would make a better Batman than Superman. And, WB needs to pull their heads out of their asses about the Teen movie thing.

And, I can tell the difference between different Asian races, but for the sake of a storyline I can pretend a Chinese actor is Japanese and vice-versa. And, If He/She can act He/She might even manage to fool me for a few minutes.

If we go Hard-core Japanese for the guys, Beat Takeshi might be a good Yoshi, and the guy who played Kojima in "Tôkyô-Fist", could be a good Saki. (I also, think he'd make a good Vegita in a DBZ movie.). But, Tang Shen is still a Chinese name, and I still can't picture anyone but Brigitte Lin (even though She's Chinese) playing Karai. I also guess Morita Noriyuki could voice Splinter.

And, I love ANYTHING Max Fleisher (including Superman), but especially Betty Boop!

impetus · 09-21-2003, 07:46 PM

Morita Noriyuki - is that Daniel-san no sensei from the Karate Kid? Yeah, I think he'd work...

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 09-21-2003, 07:53 PM

Yep!

*Cascadia* · 09-22-2003, 10:23 AM

good picks on the cast for the potential new TMNT movie.

impetus · 09-22-2003, 11:45 AM

added a couple characters
Ed Harris as Gen Blanque
Robert Duvall or Christopher Walken as Honeycutt (Fugitoid)

Mike - Keanu Reeves (the Matrix)
Raph - this one was tough... Matthew McCaughnehey (Reign of Fire)
Don - Will Macy (Mystery Men's "The Shoveler"), honorable mention goes to Oliver Platt (Lake Placid)
Leo - Brendan Frasier (The Mummy)

Casey - Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins)
April - Rachel Weizs (The Mummy), honorable mentin goes to Carrie-Ann Moss (The Matrix)

Shredder - tough call, prolly some unknown Japanese actor. But from my own knowledge, Chow Yun Fat (Crouching Tiger) could pull off the more sophisticated, human qualities of the Shredder and also kick butt

Leatherhead - Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park)
Nobody - Ben Stiller (the only person I can see as a cop in tights)
Savanti Romero - Jean Reno!!!!! (M:I, Ronin)
Baxter Stockman - Samuel L Jackson (disagree? watch Jurassic Park again).
Radical - Jennifer Garner (Alias)
Carnage - The Rock (goofy I realize, but who better?)
Rat King - Dolph Lundgren (every B action movie from the 80's)
Renet - Cameron Diaz!!!
Karai - that gal who played Yuriko in X2
Honeycutt - Christopher Walken or Robert Duvall
General Blanque - Ed Harris

Feel free to comment on my choices or put your own cast together!!

Damn!

The 10 Commandments had a smaller cast than this. Jeff Goldblum as Leatherhead? Since when was he a cajun?

**Karpo_007** · 09-22-2003, 12:20 PM

Since when was Mirage leatherhead cajun?

*jeff the cheff* · 09-22-2003, 12:35 PM

I think the guy that was casey jones in the movies would be perfect again!

**Karpo_007** · 09-22-2003, 12:39 PM

Except he's bald...

Elias Koteas (Casey Jones) was in Collateral Damage. I think he was AWESOME as Casey, but now he's a bit too old for the part, and, yes, bald (not that it would make a difference in Hollywood). But I loved him as Casey!

The Mirage Leatherhead was an intelligent friend of the Utroms as well as something of a scientist in his own right. Ta-da! Jeff Goldblum!

Matthew138, you're right; this is just a list of characters, not necesarily all in a single movie.

Hey, what do you guys think of Patrick Stewart doing another turn in the Wheel-Chair as Zippy Lad?

*Jephael* · 09-22-2003, 04:11 PM

I'm currently updating my casting page, and I like alot of your ideas, Impetus! One thing I noticed was we both like the idea of having Cameron Diaz as Renet! Va Va VOOM!

~~Leo656~~ · 09-22-2003, 04:21 PM

Eh... Cameron Diaz looks like she's wearing a plastic mask these days. She looks like crap without tons of makeup. I'unno, she never did anything for me.

I got into the habbit back in 1992 or 93' when I was little. I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
