Well, at least it isn't Mila Jovovich or some other actress I can barely stand to look at.
This is very funny, because, after reading Dalek's initial post, I was thinking about who to cast as Scarlett. After thinking of a couple of actual redheads, Alicia Witt and Laura Prepon (not that she's red these days
) - I do think it's too bad that Witt didn't win the role of Mary Jane in the Spider-Man films (not to dis Kirstin Dunst, who I've been really impressed with in some movies), but I'm not sure of either of them in this role - I went to action heroines. Considered Uma, breifly Jolie... decided I'd like to see Milla Jovovich do it
Although... action woman, kickin' arse... maybe they should put a red wig on Summer Glau
Heck, while I'm at it, may as well cast everything (seriously, or... less so):
Cobra Commander (he *@?!ing well better be in the film
) - Johnny Depp, Jack Nicholson, Ian McDiarmid - okay, I'm undecided
Destro - hm... voiced by James Earl Jones or Sean Connery, depending on how cartoony they get? I could see Hugh Jackman as Flint; Nathan Fillion as Duke - or Hawk, if they let him actually lead things in the field, as it started out in G. I. Joe. Samuel L. Jackson, seriously, could be dream casting as Stalker. (Hell, he did "Deep Blue Sea" - why not this?) Snake Eyes - well, will Hollywood allow a masked, mute lead character? (Though, would make stunt-doubling easy....) Roadblock could maybe be Michael Clarke Duncan, though Ving Rhames does have the mustache. - actually, I see him playing the role better, as well.. Lady Jaye? Jewel Staite, maybe? Actually, I could maybe see Angelina Jolie here, with the changing voices - oh, or maybe Jen Garner. Oh! - or Amy Acker. (Though, to my mind, Scarlett is the better part - so maybe we should put one of them there? Oh, but Summer, with the fighting
and acting chops - Illyria not as martial arty...) Zartan - Dana Carvey? [/bad "Master of Disguise" joke]. Actually - maybe Jovovich works as Zarana. Major Bludd - Collin Farrell? Serpentor - Paulie Shore
Buzzer the Dreadnok - Owen Wilson? Road Pig the Dreadnok - Adam Baldwin. Torch the Dreadnok - the Macho Man Randy Savage. (Ohhh... YEAH!) Ripper - Tony Head
(Why no, I don't watch a lot of Joss Whedon shows, why do you ask?
)
And no, Dalek, no Michelle Trachtenberg... Wait. That computer programmer Joe, the one they didn't bother to mention by name in that one GIJ/TF crossover? I could cast her there...
