Hey guys!

I figured out another fun little thing to do while we wait for the first episode. If there ever will be a Monkey Islandmovie, who would you cast as Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck, Voodoo Lady, Stan, Murray etc etc. ?
Just write below something like this.
My Cast:
Guybrush - ?
Elaine - ?
LeChuck - ?
Stan - Jim Carrey
Voodoo Lady - Whoopee Goldberg
Murray - Christopher Lloyd

and continue the list

Gryffalio · 06/22/2009, 01:38 am

I wouldn't do a live movie, but an animated movie would be great:

Guybrush - Dominic Armato, d'uh!

Elaine - Phyllis Logan (I think an English Elaine is right, but Phyllis Logan's voice sounds better for the part than the CMI one)
LeChuck - Brian Blessed (he shows his cartoony qualities towards the end of this clip!)
Stan - Jim Carrey (Great idea, he really fits the role, but i'm not sure if he could resist messing around for half a recording session

)
Voodoo Lady - Whoopee Goldberg would do it for me, also.
Murray - Tim Curry, has to be. (This is practically an advert

)
Wally - I reckon they got it right in CMI with Neil Ross

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/22/2009, 01:51 am

Could you picture Robert DeNiro as Haggis? : ) ) )

presidentmax · 06/22/2009, 02:20 am

YES. He's getting on a bit, but he's very MI4 Guybrush. All the way through MI4 I was thinking "JD JD JD"

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/22/2009, 03:35 am

What about Michael J. Fox? If he dyed his hair, he would kind of look like Guybrush.

*Irishmile* · 06/22/2009, 03:37 am

I have not seen him in anything in years but this recent pic of Macaulay Culkin looks a bit like TTG's Guybrush...

FistOFun · 06/22/2009, 05:31 am

Man having Jim Carrey as Stan is a perfect cast. Though Im highly uncertain who to have as Guybrush. Goldbery doesn't really have the girth for the voodoo lady, though I cant really think of any name actors who would do a good job.

i kinda always seen guybrush as a more of a weedy- like character not dorky but not manly yet not a push-over. He's such a loveable character in that right. I've never seen him as a smart-ass but yet he isn't a total wimp. I think we can all see a bit of guybrush in all of us.

I can't really see Culkin capturing that though. Then again i havent seen his adult roles.

*Irishmile* · 06/22/2009, 09:39 am

Yeah me either... but I heard he was really great on broadway... so maybe he could pull it off. He definitely has that wimpy man-child look about him.

Guybrush Threepwood - Jon Heder
Elaine Marley - Leighton Meester
LeChuck - John Goodman
Stan - Will Ferrell
Voodoo Lady - Jill Scott

Eddiejo6 · 06/22/2009, 10:46 am

Those actors match perfectly

StrongBrush1 · 06/22/2009, 11:30 am

The Secret Of Monkey Island

Elaine Marley: Natalie Portman
LeChuck: Billy Connally
Stan: Alfred "Weird Al" Yankovic
Voodoo Lady: Whoopi Goldberg
Carla The Swordmaster: Halle Berry
Otis: Will Ferrell
Meathook: Vin Diesel
Herman Toothrot: Henry Winkler

Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge
Largo LaGrande: Deep Roy
Captain Dread: Eddie Murphy
Wally B. Feed: Warwick Davis
Rapp Scallion: Bob Newhart
Rum Rogers, Jr.: Bill Murray
Guybrush's Parents: Liam Neeson and Phyllis Diller

Okay, maybe that was a bit of overkill.

If it was an animated movie I'd hire all of these guys.

Stan and Guybrush have the best actors, which is probably why I chose them.

Wolfstar27 · 06/22/2009, 04:13 pm

this is a very interesting thread, as some of you guys know, that apprently steven speilberg wanted to make a monkey island movie but didnt get the green light, and the guy who hired to do the script for monkey island movie, later went on to do pirates of the carribean

theres so many choices for guybrush...heres a suggestion and not my final choice, but Matthew Perry as Guybrush Threepwood, now i know some people say that Matthew Perry can only play Matthew Perry, but he could actually pull it off, if you look at these photo from a movie called "Almost heroes", he also has the look:

http://mojportal.hr/var/mojportal/st...vy_tabfull.jpg

and this photo aswell:

http://images.allmoviephoto.com/1998...heroes_001.jpg

now Elaine Marley, i would consider Kate Beckinsale, not only is she hot, but she has an attitude which Elaine has, if you see this photo from Van Helsing:

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/im...MPH/258762.jpg

Stan has got to be Jim carrey hands down

i cant think of any others right now

Marduk · 06/22/2009, 04:15 pm

People always seem to choose actors by their looks in threads like these.

I always think that actors should be credited for how they would perform the role, not how they look while doing it.

A good actor prides itself on it's ability to play as versatile selection or roles as possible. Though, baring this in mind, it becomes harder to spot the right talent for the character you’re trying to cast because you can’t know what personalities they can portray well when only looking at a limited number of works they’ve performed in.

Sacha Baron Cohen is probably my favourite actor, right now, for his ability to perform different roles and forget all about the other characters he’s performed.

But I must admit; for Stan I’d cast Weird Al. I didn’t like the voice actor in ‘Escape', he sounded as if he was trying to impersonate Jim Carey. And while I didn't mind the one from 'Curse' so much I didn't really think much of him, either. But after viewing the stan/hardware store video on youtube I can't help but think how much I'd love to see him in this role. I mean it's more voice than appearance, and I think Al can easily sound like a hyperactive-yet slightly sleazy- salesman. (I know people already suggested him and they probably did so for the same reason, but I can't help but expand on things. Sorry for being long winded).

*Irishmile* · 06/22/2009, 04:24 pm

I still think Bruce Campbell is the obvious choice for Stan... But Jim Carry wouldn't be horrible... Heck Jim would even make a decent Guybrush if he was a bit younger.... But he would have to put in an original performance and not a typical Jim Carry performance... He has ditched it before in movies like Man on the Moon, and the number 23... So he can be versatile.
