Re-Casting – Star Wars

admin — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:36:50 +0000

It seems like nowadays the movie industry is only interested in remaking popular movies instead of creating new stuff from scratch and along with remaking movies comes the daunting task of re-casting the characters.

I thought I would take it upon myself to recast some myself because from what I’ve seen, it couldn’t be any worse.

My first attempt… Star Wars

John McCain as the Emperor

They are really old, one runs a galaxy and the other could possibly rule the country. Good enough for me.

Dog as the Bounty Hunter

No one escapes Dog Fett.

Gene Simmons as Chewbacca

Han Solo doesn’t have a chance with Leia around this guy.

Vern Troyer as a Jawa

A naked Jawa with bad bladder control is comedy gold.

Michael Vick as the Rancor Trainer

Who else has this much experience?

Constructicons in Tranformers 2

Rumor going round is that this picture is the newest Transformer in the upcoming sequel.

The news that came along with it is as follows:

- Seven construction vehicles merge to form Devastator
- Devastator has lots of upper body strength, like a gorilla
- Not just green, some of the vehicles are red and yellow

While it looks pretty bad ass, I find it hard to believe that this will be in the movie due to the fact that they are going to do the whole “Voltron” thing and join up to form Devastator. I mean, that’s seven news vehicles they have to create when they already have a decent number of new and old.

And if they are going to go all out then I say “Screw it”, I want Grimlock too.

Batman 3 Posters

Batman 3 posters featuring Harley Quinn, The Riddler and Catwoman!

Don’t get too excited like I did because these are all creations by DeviantArt user Josh MC.

The idea of Kristen Bell as Harley Quinn or Dr. Who as The Riddler was too good to be true.

You gotta give the guy credit for great casting and very cool photoshopping because for a split second you can almost believe that these are the real deal.

At least it’s more believable than Cher being cast as Catwoman which you can read about at FilmDrunk.com

The Inevitable Alliance

O-M-G!

I don’t use this initialism often and when I do it’s usually only for mocking.

But not this time…

OMG!!1! check out this fan made stop motion film featuring a lot of Marvel action figures and then stick around for a surprise ending.

I’d love to see someone dub over this with more realistic sound effects and you can bet I’ll be waiting impatiently for part 2.

First Look at the Prince

In case you haven’t heard, Jake Gyllenhaal is playing Dastan in the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

And in case you haven’t heard of the fantastic Prince of Persia, it’s a game that the movie is based on.

These are the first leaked pics and I think he might actually pull it off, or at least look the part.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Finally some footage from the new Wolvering movie was shown at Comicon 08′ and it features quick looks at not just Wolvie and Sabertooth but Gambit, Deadpool, Emma Frost, The Blob and others.

Just another reason why I should always go to Comicon.

Always.

Part One

Part Two

As long as I can erase the idea that half of these characters have nothing to do with Wolverine’s origin, this looks to be an awesome movie.

Destro’s M.A.R.S. (Military Armaments Research Syndicate) showed off their new Mole Pod that will be used for an attack on the Joe base called “The Pit” in the G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra movie.

Shown as part of the Hasbro Booth at the NYC Licensing Show, this vehicle is sure to be one of the cool new weapons on display when the movie hits in 2009.
