Elaine Marley

Carla Swordmaster

Otis

Stan

Herman Toothrot

Largo Legrande

Kate Capsize

Wally

Barbershop Trio

Griswold Goodsoup

Winslow

Morgan LeFlay

DeCava

Voodoo Lady

Extras to consider:
Shopkeeper?
Lookout?
Scumm Bar Chef?
Gambling man (name?) from MI2?
Barkeep in Woodtick?
Kenny Loudmouth?
LeChimp?
Mort?

I'm going to do something a bit different and suggest an all-British cast for The Secret of Monkey Island (please be warned, most of these are full of filthy language. They are British, after all):

Guybrush Threepwood: Simon Bird (Will from The Inbetweeners)

LeChuck/Fester Shinetop: Philip Glenister (Gene Hunt from Life On Mars) with Marshall Lancaster (Chris from LOM) as Bob

Elaine Marley: No idea, but get a decent actress rather than a bimbo just there for eye candy.

Otis and Meathook: Robert Webb and David Mitchell (Peep Show)

Stan: Paterson Joseph (does it matter if he's black?)

Herman Toothrot: Tom Baker (that clip's from 30 years ago, he's older now)

Lookout: Bernard Cribbins

Cannibal: Richard Ayoade

dvibe · 10/07/2009, 08:37 am

The cast from the sitcom Black Books would fit perfect in monkey island..

Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig ...

Never seen Black Books (sacrilege, I know...) but Bill would be an awesome Herman and Dylan an excellent Otis.

Fealiks · 10/07/2009, 08:53 am

Yeah, Richard Ayoade would make an amazing cannibal.

Guybrush - Christopher Masterson (Francis from Malcolm in the Middle)

Stan - Jim Carrey

Herman Toothrot - George Carlin (even though he's dead now)

Can't think of any more

nitsujsedohr · 10/07/2009, 09:03 am

Ok, here we go. I know there is NO chance that all of these would be in it! that movie would cost a TON. But some picks are better than others. Don't be mad that I left out Mr. Goodsoup, I couldnt think of anyone... Oh, I'm GOing to bold what I think are really good choices.

Guybrush Threepwood - Dominic Armato

Ghost/Zombie/Demon/Stone/Human Pirate LeChuck - John Travolta " i just like him as a bad guy"

Elaine Marley - Kate Winslet

Carla Swordmaster - Sandra Bullock

Otis - David Spade

Stan - Dennis Quaid

Herman Toothrot - Tom Hanks

Largo Legrande - Bruce willis Seriously the dude is SHORT like 5"2 I doubt he'd take the role though.

Kate Capsize - Sarah Silverman

Wally - Jason Bryant Acuña AKA weeman

Barbershop Trio - Danny Devito, Glenn Thomas Jacobs AKA Kane, Christopher Walken

Griswold Goodsoup - I wouldnt have him in the movie.

Winslow - Morgan Freeman

Morgan LeFlay - Jessica Alba

DeCava - John Lithgow

Voodoo Lady - Whoopi Goldberg

Wow, I totally didnt think of Him for that! he would be perfect

StansCoffins · 10/07/2009, 09:09 am

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! No-one let Jim Carrey near my lovely Monkey Island! Stan makes me want to hit him, but in a good way. Jim Carrey makes me want to hit him full stop.

doggans · 10/07/2009, 09:31 am

As an aspiring filmmaker, I've often thought of what my dream cast would be if I could get the MI movie rights. The following are the names I've landed on most frequently/recently.

Guybrush - I've been saying NPH for years. He's one of the most brilliant and versatile comic actors working today, and his voice, while not identical, is pretty similar to Dominic's.

LeChuck - Tom Wilson. A very funny man who's already my favorite movie villain, so why shouldn't he be my favorite video game villain? He can switch from funny to intimidating instantly, which I think is important in a LeChuck.

Elaine Marley - Amy Adams is the thought that crosses my mind the most, although I'm not sure if she has quite the right presence.

Carla - She may not look EXACTLY the part, but Gina Torres from "Firefly" could pull off the "badass" aspect.

Meathook - Bruce Willis. The man can be very funny in the right role.

Stan - either James Roday from "Psych", or Will Arnett

Herman Toothrot - Eric Idle

Voodoo Lady - Aloma Wright (Laverne from "Scrubs")

Largo LaGrande - Warwick Davies. Obvious, perhaps, but still.

DeLuca · 10/07/2009, 09:34 am

ugh. I just typed this up and had links for ALL of them but it didnt post for some reason and got deleted.

Anyway I'm just gunna put names and descriptions if you dont know who it is.

Guybrush Threepwood - Neil Patrick Harris

Ghost/Zombie/Demon/Stone/Human Pirate LeChuck - It's a cop out but Geoffrey Rush was perfect. If not, Bill Nighy (stepdad in Sean of the Dead, Rufus Scrimegour in Harry Potter 7) would fit this role too.

Elaine Marley - If she could do a British Accent, Evangeline Lily, if not Kate Winslet.

Carla Swordmaster - Jada Pinckett Smith

Otis - Jeremy Davies (Daniel Farady from LOST)

Stan - Jim Carey

Herman Toothrot - Steve Martin

Largo Legrande - Dominic Monaghan? Has to be FAKE tough not real tough, he did have a bra. NAthan Lane if we wanted really wacky.

Kate Capsize - Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet from LOST)

Wally - Billy Boyd (Pippin from LOTR)

Barbershop Trio - Danny Devito, Adrien Brody and hmph... get back to me.

Griswold Goodsoup - Michael Cane

Winslow - Leslie David Barker (Stanley from Office)

Morgan LeFlay - Angelina Jolie or if looks dont matter Helena B Carter

DeCava - John Lithgow

Voodoo Lady - Queen Latifah

I totally Agree, I have a list I am updating using some of really Good Examples. I totally forgot about Firefly. Firefly was really good to, I'm sorry it had to end like it did.

guitarsareboring · 10/07/2009, 09:49 am

Totally agree with Stan / Jim Carrey... was going to suggest it myself. For a while I've liked the idea of Zach Braff as Guybrush.

I have to Totally Disagree, with Angelina. She is WAY to old to be Morgan, Morgan has to seem young and perky, something she just doesnt have. Badass - Check, Sexy - Ding! Ding! Ding!, Young - Ummm, no. Helen I can see her as morgan in the face, but I still dont know.

Fealiks · 10/07/2009, 10:08 am

Some really good ideas that I'd never considered in this thread. I personally don't think they should do an MI movie, though. I think Pirates of the Caribbean was almost perfect since it has all (or some of) the Monkey Islandishness of a Monkey Island movie but none of the "ruins Monkey Island" factor.

StansCoffins · 10/07/2009, 10:20 am

Wow, I'm surprised at the amount of people who don't detest Jim Carey with every fiber of their being. Stan is Stan. If Jim Carey played him, he wouldn't be Stan: he would be Jim Carey.

nitsujsedohr · 10/07/2009, 10:24 am

Well, yeah Jim Carey definitely can get carried away... I think if he TRIED to be Stan he could pull it off better than most.

Finally a good idea for the Voodoo Lady!
Whoopie Goldberg, really?

Qwazin · 10/07/2009, 10:44 am

All I know is Stacy Keach for LeChuck

Omg, dude, Glenister, awesome!
And, besides, cool to meet someone who knows Life on Mars (the UK-version, people!) as well.
