Rather Dashing and Irishmile win joint first place in Post of the Year.

*Silverwolfpet* · 06/23/2009, 04:25 am

Wow! Those are some really cool suggestions! Especially for Stan!
Hmmm, about voodoo lady... what do you think of Wanda Sykes? I think she can pull it off! And she has the great humor to go with it!

Hmmm, Do you see Christopher Lloyd as Herman Toothrot, or is it just me?

Hey all! New to the forums... I saw this thread and got intrigued. So here's my two cents worth on casting for my dream live action Monkey Island movie. For Guybrush, Michael J. Fox during his Back to the Future years would be awesome! But if i were to pick from the crop of stars nowadays, I'd pick Shia LaBeouf or Michael Cera. I think both these actors have good comedic timing that fits Guybrush's style. Now, for Elaine, I'd pick Kate Beckinsale... but she would be too old for my picks for Guybrush, wouldn't she? Oh well... i can't think of anyone else right now. Hehe. As for LeChuck, his ghost pirate version that is, I think he should be CGI and just get Earl Boen to do his voice! and special mention, Robin Williams as Herman Toothrot.

What do you guys think? go easy on the new comer, eh?

*Silverwolfpet* · 07/02/2009, 03:32 pm

Robin Williams as Herman - pure gold! Never would've thought of that! Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Thanks!

Btw, Jim Carrey as Stan! that's been around for ages!

I have been watching alot of 6 feet under lately, Ben Foster can play a wimpy character well and he is a good actor.

Do you look like her?

Manon_Sa · 07/03/2009, 05:57 am

Haha no not really

And I can't really act but it was a nice thought :P

jam4nr · 07/03/2009, 08:50 am

this just popped into my head just now. The Men of Low Moral Fiber could be cameos from Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Will Ferrel.

ferreira0665 · 07/16/2009, 07:38 am

Guybrush - Ben Foster was a good choice and interesting one. I could also see Ryan Gosling do it too.

Elaine - Kate Beckinsale

LeChuck - Geoffrey Rush

Herman - Robin Williams

Carla - Halle Berry

Otis - I could see Johnny Depp in this role basically cause he can transform himself into anybody.

Storekeeper - Al Pacino ("Whadya Want?") In the Special Edition version when he says whadya want it reminded me of Al in Scent of a Woman.

Captain Smirk - Val Kilmer, Christopher Titus (okay that was a joke) But I could see it somewhat.

Voodoo Lady - Whoopi Goldberg

Stan - Vince Vaughn (Jim Carrey can't be Stan, I would want to kill Jim Carrey. That character is so annoying)

The Lookout - Val Kilmer

Brian Blessed as LeChuck. That would be funny.

zmally · 07/16/2009, 12:12 pm

I think I'd have:

Johnny Depp as Guybrush
Kiera Knightly as Elaine
Orlando Bloom as Wally
Jonathan Pryce as Herman Toothrot
Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook as Bob and Murray, respectively
Kevin McNally as Haggis McMutton
Naomie Harris as the Voodoo lady
Geoffrey Rush as Ozzie Mandrel
Jack Davenport as The Sheriff
And of course, Keith Richards as Stan

Waiitaminute....

zmally · 07/16/2009, 12:18 pm

The men of low moral fibre?

That was easy

Karl can be the one who always gets hit on the head :P

EDIT: watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvd181OAjQ if you're unfamiliar with the wonder that is, Karl Pilkington

WinterSnowblind · 07/16/2009, 12:29 pm

Brian Blessed would be perfect as LeChuck.

KEBSD · 07/16/2009, 02:45 pm

David Spade has my vote for Guybrush.

Magic Emperor · 07/16/2009, 05:03 pm

Timothy Spall as Griswold Goodsoup! Yeah, I know I didn't give an actual list, but I'm simply not too creative. ... Yet.

I also love the idea of Brian Blessed as LeChuck. I mean, he has the beard!

*Irishmile* · 07/16/2009, 05:19 pm

Michael Cera as Guybrush?

Tacobob · 07/16/2009, 07:44 pm

Character actor and funny guy Fred Williard would make a perfect Stan:
