New Jedi Order Casting Call...

Post by generator_g1 »

Suppose GL made you the chief casting director for the new NJO movie, which of the current roster Hollywood actors/actresses would you choose to play the following NJO/EU characters:

1. The Solo children (Jacen, Jaina and Anakin)
2. Mara Jade
3. Tahiri Veila
4. Danni Quee
5. Jagged Fel
6. Admiral Paelleon(sp?)
7. Kyp Durron
8. Supreme Overlord Shimrra
9. Nom Anor
10. Warmaster Tsavong Lah

You can add any character from the NJO that I might have missed and their corresponding actor. (The OT ones don't count, like Luke, Leia, Han etc.) :wink:

Yes.

Admiral Pellaeon
- I can't think of anyone, except someone who's old, a little fat, and with graying hair with a moustache. Maybe James Doohan sans Scottish accent, or someone who looks like him.

Kyp Durron
- That dude who played Hornblower, Ioan Gruffold. What the fuck, maybe Colin Farrell.

Jacen Solo
No idea.

Jaina Solo
Avril Langerine has the right look IMHO, however, we have no idea if she can act.
You need a short brunette for that role.
Does Carrie Fisher have any young relatives the right age?

Anakin Solo
Again, no idea

Tahiri Veila
I'm tempted to say either Hillary Duff or Lindsay Lohan, as they are the right general age and general description. However, the concept of either of them holding a lightsaber is too.... wtf.
The girl that plays Hermini (sp) in the Harry Potter movies would probably be a good choice. She's also the right age

Danni Quee
You need a 20 - 25 year old hot blonde for that. Lots of those trying to get acting jobs
Mystique would be a good choice.

Jagged Fel
The guy that plays Iceman from the X-men movies

Admiral Paelleon
I keep seeing the actor that played Magneto and Gandolf

Kyp Durron
No idea

Supreme Overlord Shimrra
Former WWE Wrestler 'Brock Lesnar'

Nom Anor
There's a certain irony to Wil Wheaton playing him (grin)
However, failing that, I'd have to go with the guy that used to play Jimmy Olsen on 'The Adventures of Lois and Clark'

Warmaster Tsavong Lah
'The Rock'
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

It's Emma Watson IIRC.

From what I've seen of her, she can't.
I don't even want to IMAGINE this. *shiver* NO WAY.

Sorry, haven't watched X-men ;)
Anyway...I can see it now...the final battle between Luke and Shimrra turned into a wrestling match between overweight Mark Hamill and a WWE wrestler, and all the teen singers that play Jedi getting together to sing a song halfway through the movie.

:shock:
Scary thought.

True. I just felt there was a certain irony in having the voice of Batman scare/intimidate Yuuzhan Vong warriors... :twisted:

Jaina - no idea. Emma Watson...call me crazy, but her face does not really match that of Carrie Fisher... it is not wide enough and her chin isn't the right one, either.
Mara Jade - Mira Sorvino or Famke Janssen... However Famke, when shot at the wrong angles, doesn't resemble Mara at all.
Jag Fel: No idea. A younger version of Ben affleck?
Admiral Pellaeon - definitely Sir Derek Jacobi.

8. Supreme Overlord Shimrra

Meat Loaf.

Ron Perleman has to be one of the upper Yuzhaan Vong. Shimraa, Choka, Lah, Shai, whichever. Because, you know, he has a face made for heavy makeup.

Johnny Depp as Kip Durron. He does good crazy/melodramatic.

Kirsen Dunst as Danni Quae.

Monica Belucci as Viqi Sesh.

Edward Norton as Nom Anor.

Michael Pitt would be perfect as Anakin Solo.

Ron Pearlman... yes, yes.

Isn't Corran Horn used again in the NJO books? I always thought Jude Law could play him.

Prleman is definatly a must for the Vong....

fuck it, sample Barry White for the YVH driods, he's bass enough failing that get James Earl Jones or Me plus some distortion effects.... (at least before han makes some comment about them sounding like his father in law) *just thought of a new screen cap, vader torturing solo at cloud city scene with the caption:

Once again Solo are you shagging my little girl.....

He plays a major part in the second and third books, kills the Vong leader (or temp leader until Tsavong Lah arrives anyway) in a duel, then goes on a vacation after his reputation is trashed by Fey'lya and returns a few books later to whoop some Vong rear. He went on a few missions with Anakin and was in the room with Luke when Luke felt Anakin die. So yes, Corran Horn plays a good sized part in NJO :)
