QC - The Movie
raoullefere:
So that's how Saget got into the WCT forum.
And I thought he was simply ubiquitous.
pendrake:
1. Jeph's comic comments for Number 2025: Questionable Content: LA - "Starring William H. Macy as Marten and Beyonce as Faye."
2. As I said in WCDT 2021-2025, I actually could see Beyonce as Faye Whitaker as an interesting "outside the box" casting choice. William H. Macy would make a better Henry Reed over Marten Reed, but definitely should be included in a series for which "indie" themes are important.
3. I could also see/hear Bob Saget as Pintsize, his voice tone and comedy experience would be good in the role.
4. An animated movie (or episode series) would be much better because voice-acting opens up a wider range of actors who need not be physically similar to the character. Kevin Conroy as DCAU Batman, Mark Hamill as DCAU Joker, and Clancy Brown as DCAU Lex Luthor being the best examples.

Frankly I don't have any real preferences for either Marten or Pintsize in a live actoin QC, but you just know Cera is going to be one of the first people to come to mind to the producers etc. as Marten. And Saget as Pintsize would be typical Hollywood thinking it's clever casting.
An animated QC? Billy West, John DiMaggio, Grey DeLisle, Jennifer Hale, Cree Summer, and Tara Strong would all show up in it because they're all pretty ubiquitous in US voiced animated productions. It would probably be a tossup over whether Hale and DeLiisle would play Faye and Dora, or vice versa, although they might decide Strong should do a variation of her Raven voice from Teen Titans for Faye. Maybe Cree Summer as Tai or Raven. I can imagine Niicole Sullivan in some role.
SomeCanadianWeirdo:
Thinking about it a bit more if someone did a QC film they'd probably just cherrypick various elements from the series and come up with an original script. Part of it would probably revolve around Hannelore having supposedly humourous freakouts as a result of Pintsize doing something gross to her or around her. They'd probably go with a typical Hollywood love triangle story, with on-screen Dora being an annoying mix of original Dora and Raven, or in some other way being made annoying to the viewer so they'd root for the "right" girl, Faye. If they were really lazy they'd do a makeover bit with Faye, where she loses her glasses, piles on the makeup, and starts wearing overtly sexy clothes just in time to "save" Marten from the clutches of Dora. Someone like Christopher Walken or Michael Keaton would appear as the gruff middle aged guy who gives Marten advice on how to run his life, most of which would just cause problems until the one bit that helps him realise he really wants Faye. And there would be the inevitable cameo appearance from whatever indie band du jour they could scare up, playing whatever tune they contributed to the pop song soundtrack.
akronnick:
The above post is why I remain secure in the knowledge that a QC Major Motion Picture is never gonna happen.
If it did, it would be a tragedy.
