Who should play the characters in a movie? And Why?
Guybrush Threepwood - Orlando Bloom. Based on the episode from Extras, not POTC. And the hair from LOTR
Elaine - Leah Remini, Carrie from The King of Queens. They have the same attitude.
Le Chuck - Michael Clarke Duncan. He's big and has a dark voice.
We spent a long time coming up with these. What do you think??
If this thread has come up before, Im sorry. I searched the forum but couldn't find anything.

this sounds much better than MrKnall's Orlando Bloom/ Leah Remini/ Michael Clarke Duncan puke-stew
Those are actually some great shouts.
YES.
VERY YES.
If they'd remade the first Monkey Island in this style, I would have no complaints. If this had been the style used in CMI, I would have no complaints. This is exactly what I was talking about in the MI looking too cartoony thread, there are well done, quality cartoons, then there are crappy, poorly done cartoons. The style above would lean strongly toward the former, and then some.
I'd love to see CMI redone in this style, and I'd love to see an animated movie in the same style as well. Maybe I'm just a huge Purcell fanboy, I don't know, but that simply screams Monkey Island to me, it's absolutely bloody perfect.
Oh, and to be relevant to the topic at hand, I think David Tennant would do an awesome job as the voice of Guybrush.
true.
also David Hasselhoff would have to play *something*.
I'm glad to know that my local MI friends and myself aren't the only ones that noticed this. The first Pirates has a lot in common with MI... And when you start taking in the squeals it's just as bad... But we always put it off as basic ties in Caribbean lore.
Monkey Island made the first two the succes, then they ran out of ideas
Here's a clip from the Extras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGJA_CllCs
He needs blond hair of course. Guybrush has to be funny and a bit helpless with tons of self-esteem, as Orlando has in the clip.
Leah Remini as Elaine is because she's funny and has the same attitude as Elaine. I think Michelle Monaghan is as funny as sawdust. But I have to admit that Leah Remini might have a problem with the English accent.
Comparing MI to POTC is very wrong. I can’t see how you'd get i.e. a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle into POTC. If a MI movie was ever made it had to be done properly, which would include all the fun gadgets, rubber chicken, and the weird actions, like remove the sunburned skin from a man and use it as a map. It would be challenging I admit, but if making a MI movie means another POTC ii would be no point since it is two totally different worlds, except for the pirate theme of course.
eddie murphy for murray also maybe
But who should play the mayor at Phatt Island? Fat Bastard maybe?
Maybe it's just that I love the idea of Bruce Campbell in an MI movie, but I think he could pull off some other characters too: Largo, Meathook, any number of pirates, Fester Shinetop, and even Murray.
- definitely NO.
- hmm. maybe.
- hmmm.
- maybe, i guess.
- um, NO.
double lol)))
- not such a bad idea though. so, maybe.
- not sure.
- hmm.
- disagree.
um. LeChuck?
- b&t was some interesting stuff as far as i can remember. so, maybe, i guess.
- nope. - are u talking about the deceased Walter Huston?
- yeah, could be.
- the deceased Oliver Reed?
- hmm.
- deceased.
- um...
- deceased.
- nah.
- yeah. could be, definitely.
- not sure.
- could be.
- not sure.
- maybe. aye.
- yeah
- no.
- think that the original's better. it's not like a real actor will get a chance to play a scull.
an, it's a nice idea, it seems.
- nah.
some nice ideas, guys. but, in my opinion, no1's offered a fitting actress for Elaine's role.
personally, i think i could name a couple or so actresses from hollywood, but, i think that it'd be best if it were not a professional actress for this role.
