So sorry if this (http://shokxone-studios.deviantart.com/art/Questionable-Content-29802906?offset=40) has been posted, but it gave me so much joy and pleasure, that anyone who hasn't seen it should.
-
First, it's okay if you aren't sure of this being posted before because you can't possibly search for this exact picture being posted, right?
Second, I think this thread would go better in the General Discussion forum, because that's about the comic. This forum is for more than QC, and in fact, QC really isn't discussed here.
-
Oh jesus not too long ago I thought that poster was cool. What the fuck was wrong with me? I like the Watchmen poster they did though.
-
The poster is okay to me, it's the casting choices that kinda wreck it.
-
I hate ever talking about this sort of thing, but watching heroes has made me think Zachary Quinto could play a good Marten.
-
What the fuck why is Van Wilder Steve. That is awful.
-
Kieffer I am sorry but I am finding it hard to imagine Sylar as a lovable clueless nerd boy.
-
(He is extremely hot though.)
-
:-D- Edit your post Lunchy, Gosh! :-P moderating habits die hard
So who would Larry The Cable Guy play? And Kiera Knightly, that image just scared me.
-
I am so awesome I transcend post editing.
(I am pretty sure that the cable guy dude would be Jimbo right?)
-
Eitehr that or he'd provide the voice for Hannelore's Roomba.
-
B+ would click again. Are there any others for webcomics?
-
I do have to agree that Jack Black would make a great Pintsize ^_^.
-
It doesn't appear to be that bad of a "casting" job, but I do think it would get annoying if Ryan Reynolds is Steve. I still have mixed feelings about Jack Black as Pintsize as well, the voice just isn't fitting properly the way I imagine it - haha.
-
Sylar IS a little nerdy boy....at least he was until he started stealing peoples brains
But he is much prettier when he isn't =]
Marten and Dora just don't look right =[
-
Zachary Quinto will have to wait - he's busy playing Spock in the new Star Trek movie (squee!)
-
Jack Black as Pintsize doesn't quite seem to fit. Jude Law would make a funny British Pintsize however.
-
I always imagined Pintsize as having a somewhat high voice. Jack Black would just be obnoxious.

Truth... Perhaps.. Jeeze I don't even know...
Plus, Steve doesn't have a soul patch, I'm pretty sure that was just Jeph's drawing style back then to show he had a cleft in his chin...
-
Tracy Morgan would make a great pint-size.
No CGI. Just use body-paint and camera tricks.

That's actually quite plausible..
-
It is... disturbingly so.
-
"Disturbingly plausible" is a pretty good description for most of the ideas Ihave.

I really hope this is good.
Cuz it is now on my compy. It downloaded pretty fast, too.
EDIT: it is pretty good.
-
I look forward to seeing your first effort :)
-
I kinda think that a QC movie would end up as being depressibly OC-like. I like the poster, though. well, kinda.
-
After watching Lars and the Real Girl, I thought that Kelli Garner would make a good Hanellore. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0307726/ (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0307726/)

Yeah but waaay more bags under her eyes. Sleep deprived, OCD, Hanners.
-
Hanners = Cake Girl from Spiderman 2. Ridiculously thin, hair all up ons, faintly ill looking. Bin and also go.
Why am I talking like this?
-
Dora has to be Tamsin (http://www.littlerbritain.com/images/stuart_tamsin_greig.jpg) Greig (http://www.thestage.co.uk/features/feature.php/12013). Who she (http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/faces/tamsin_greig.shtml)? A seriously talented Britsh comic actress who's been in 2 of the best Channel 4 shows, Black Books (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/B/blackbooks/) and Green Wing (http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greenwing/index.html), amongst a myriad of other things.
For a while I almost believed Jeph was using her as a character model...

-
The casting choices on that poster are HORRIBLE.
-
I STAND BY MY CRAPPY CASTING.
-
I think the only choice that really LOOKS the part would have to be whoever was cast as Raven on the poster. God DAMN if that doesn't look like her.
-
Shok Xone dude, not sure if I told you this the first time this was posted here (if you were here at that point) but I think that the casting choices are not too good. Yhat doesn't detract from the quality of the work, though. Very well done on the execution!
-
Love the poster. Question is, since everybody is picky about casting...
What would be your ideal cast (and crew, director and such) for a QC movie?
Not enough time to write one tonight. I'll get one in over the weekend.
-

All parts played by Eddie Murphy in a fat-suit.
-
I always thought of Dora looking like Winona Ryder
-
You would have to have Tim Burton as the director, as he is pure amazing
And also as Tim Burton always uses Johnny Depp (I'm not complaining mind) he could play Steve
-
Tim Burton, the king of funereal claymation? Corpse Bride was a wholly unsatisfying experience. Since no one dies/is dead/is an unholy abomination* in QC, I don't think Burton would be appropriate.
* With the exception of the tequila monster and beast of bourbon.
-
But the corpse bride is one of his worst films. Thats like saying all music is crap because MCR is music.
-
I think Kevin Smith would be an excellent director for this kind of movie. He likes the story told as if you're there, with the same two shots, and I think that'd be a perfect way to film a QC movie. Also, the humor is right up his alley.
Edit1: If you look at the poster, Sela Ward and Larry the Cable Guy were also cast. I'm assuming Sela Ward is playing Veronica Vance, and Larry's playing Jimbo?
Edit2: The more I think about it, the more Winona Ryder would be a good Dora.

I definitely could see Kevin Smith doing this, but I think Edgar Wright would be interesting even though he usually does more high-concept films. Wrights seems to have perfected portraying the beta-male and is fearless with his humor.
Edit2: The more I think about it, the more Winona Ryder would be a good Dora.
Except for the fact that she's a bit too old.
I think it would be better to pick more from TV actors... They're less known (which allows people to concentrate on the character, not the actor) but still have proven they have the chops for their roles:
Marten: Lee Pace
Faye: Thora Birch
Dora: Amy Adams (I will defend this choice if necessary)
Raven: Allyson Hannigan (she would be able to pull of the comedic elements of Raven's character)
Hannelore: Anna Friel (I'm on a "Pushing Daisies" binge)
Steve: Bret Harrison
Voice of Pintsize: Morgan Freeman
-
Marten: Lee Pace
Hannelore: Anna Friel
Yeah, because this won't confuse people at all.
-
I thought QC would better lend itself to an animated TV show than a movie, but I'll play along.
Pintsize: Jason Alexander or Paul Christie
Marten: Todd Field
Dora: Zooey Deschanel
Faye: Marla Sokoloff
Raven: Lacey Chabert
Steve: Seann William Scott
I too imagine Pintsize with a high pitch voice. When I first tried to imagine his voice, it reminded me of Paul Christie from Stroker & Hoop (which reminded me of Jason Alexander).
I imagine Marten with a calm, soft voice. So I chose him based on his apperance in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "Ol Drippy".
Dora has a scratchy voice to me. When you think scratchy voice, you think Zooey.
I was just depserate to cast Faye, I won't bother defending that.
I trust Lacey Chabert's ability to play a ditz.
To me, Steve is a fratboy. Stifler is the ultimate fratboy.
I'm not quite sure what to do with Hannelore and I don't have a voice for Winslow.
-
I have to say, the only possible choices for Marten are Nicholas Brendan, Josh Jackson or Benjamin McKenzie. They've got that sweet, kinda puppydogish look about them. Most of the other actors out there look too mean and macho.
I love Thora Birch as Faye. She's perfect. The right degree of Chubbiness and uber-sexiness combined with the ability to be a total cow.
I'm really having trouble coming up with a Dora... I was kinda thinking Leslie Bibb or Carly Pope but I'm not sure which actress out there at the moment could pull off the Goth thing. Actually, now I've brought them up maybe Christopher Gorham could be Marten.
I like Jack Black as Pintsize, but what would anyone think of Eddy Izzard or Bill Bailey in that slot? They can both handle the humour but I'm not sure if they're crazy enough.
Steve - Jason Dohring. I think he could handle it.
Raven... How about Paris Hilton *Snerk*... Umm... Guys? Why are you waving those pitchforks? I must admit I have much more respect for her after that reply-to-McCain ad she did.
-
What if it was animated? (Not CGI, good old-fashioned 2D. Basically the comic as it is now but moving.) Honestly, I'd rather see animated-movie QC than actors-who-look-the-part-movie QC.
-
If it were animated, we'd want it to look like it does now.
It takes Jeph five days to draw five frames. Animated films take 30 frames per second. I don't know that I'd want to do that to Jeph.

If this were adapted into an animated form, a flash program would be the best way to test the waters to see if it translated well from panels the spoken word.
-

I like to think of it more like saying all Metallica music is crap because "LOAD" is crap.
-
Dude, I think that is AWESOME IN CAPIT AL LETTERS and I would watch that. In the theatre that I pay for. With a date (if I could get one). i wouldn't ev en pirate it. i would BUY THE BLUE RAY WITH MONEY. You have no idea. I totally would.
PS thanks, now I'm going to fantasize about a QC movie; and every day that they don't produce it; I'm going to be disappointed.
-
Dude it looks so... POSSIBLE!!! *o*
I do like Keira Knightly as Dora. But the accent would definitely have to be american to the T and I can't see her sounding like Dora should sound. She looks like a good Dora but I'm not sure she could sound it.
Van Wilder as Steve? I could see it...
Jack Black could neeeever play Pintsize! His voice is just too deep for such a little robot! I mean, it'd sound so weird o_0
I would cast maybe... hmmm... I can't think of any innocent looking actors for Marten, but I think the one in the poster isn't innocent/sweet looking enough. >_<
Hanners' character doesn't look crazy enough... needs to be someone else... like Kate Winslet maybe... xD
-
i have trouble casting some of hte main characters, but others seemed to come fairly easily...
hanners - sarah chalke
penny - olivia wilde (http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Olivia-Wilde/Olivia-Wilde-16.JPG (http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Olivia-Wilde/Olivia-Wilde-16.JPG) if you don't believe me)
raven - mary elizabeth winstead (emo'd up a bit)
tai - rosario dawson (with short red hair, obv.)
steve - jeff anderson (randall from clerks - yeah, probably too old, but dude still LOOKS sufficiently young enough)
winslow - bill bailey (listen when he plays Manny in Black Books, to his kinda high-and-worried-voice he does at times. that's how i imagine winslow to speak. and winslow sounds like an english name, so there'd be no need for accent-changing!)
with jack black (putting on a mexican accent) in a cameo as the tequila monster!
-
man
-
I don't think I know enough actors' names to even try to cast this, but after seeing Izzard live I'ma have to heartily agree with whoever suggested him for Pintsize. Now that I think of it, he could work equally well for Winslow, at least for the voice and demeanor I have for him in my head.
-
Jude Law for Winslow.
Jude Law for Winslow.
Unfortunately such a concept would never kick off as a movie; although it would fit the guideline for a TV dramaseries quite well.
-
Necro'd?
-
I wonder if Anna Pacquin is too old to play Hanners? She has a nice frail quality about her that should fit...
-
woo-hoo. As we speak, I am currently working on my totally amatuer and never-to-be-released to anyone QC Screenplay, just for laughs cos I have nothing better to do outside my animation course except eat copious amounts of yoghurt!
Edit: I've just realised how impossible this will be to end, whenever I get around to that.
:laugh: :roll: :? 8-)
Smilie abuse! Argh
-
By the way, anyone know where QC is set?
Just a query...
-
penny - olivia wilde (http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Olivia-Wilde/Olivia-Wilde-16.JPG (http://www.hollywood-celebrity-pictures.com/Celebrities/Olivia-Wilde/Olivia-Wilde-16.JPG) if you don't believe me)
dude, she's h4wt...
the|m.

dude, she's h4wt...
the|m.
damn right man. i can't even remember how/where i stumbled across that pic, but despite the fact that i don't really know who she is, i think she'd be perfect as penny. just imagine her in penny's clothes and glasses.
and Siibillam-Law, i think it's set in massachusetts.
-
Yeah, she be haaaawt.
Anyways, I don't think I'd wanna see a live-action QC film. I'd rather see it animated.
-
Massachusetts, eh. Awesome, I know as much about that place than I do any other state (is it a state? who knows) in the US. Lol I'm quite happy with my premis for this screenplay
-
More specifically it looks like a small, liberal college town in western mass.
-
Hmm, all things considered, a QC movie might be too reminiscent of the 2006 film Caffeine, which someone gave this review:
A witless examination of relationships and day jobs, Cosgrove's would-be comedy finds little humor in issues of infidelity, heartbreak (and bodily functions), resulting in a film that's hopelessly amateurish and creatively destitute
Oh what joy. Let's hope Cosgrove doesn't start reading this and go "whoa, I can so make a Caffeine 2"
-
hm....
am i the only one whos always imagined pintsize sounding like GIR from invader zim?
-
If they can make a movie out of Scott Pilgrim, they could make a movie out of Questionable Content, but of course, with that title, they'd have to raunch it up a bit more than Jeph might like for distribution purposes.
As for the suggestion of Anna Paquin for Hanners... After seeing her get her row plowed by a creature of the night that just rose up out of the cold, wet earth, I've gotta veto that idea.
As for the location, since Smif is an analogue of Smith and Smith is in Northampton, MA, then the setting for QC is an analogue for Northampton. QED
-
More specifically it looks like a small, liberal college town in western mass.
That makes me slightly less resentful to be living in a small, liberal college town in Western Mass.
-
hm....

Sorta... I can see it. Somehow I think Nancy Cartwright could do a good job with Pintsize
-
I feel like Pintsize would sound a little less deranged than Gir. He would definitely have a much higher pitch than Jack Black though.
Can't say for sure who I think would make a good Pintsize because I've always had trouble coming up with a voice for him in my head. Maybe Jake Gyllenhaal? Donnie Darko, not Brokeback Mountain.
-
Couldn't find good pictures of most of them, but:
Marten: Scott Mechlowicz (http://upload.moldova.org/movie/actors/s/scott_mechlowicz/thumbnails/tn2_scott_mechlowicz_1.jpg)
Dora: Zooey Deschanel (http://www.22dakika.org/imaj/yok/zooey-deschanel.jpg)
Raven: Carla Gallo
Faye: Amy Acker
Steve: Shawn Hatosy (http://photos.ifmagazine.com/graphics/Unsorted/alpha_dog_shawn_hatosy.jpg)
Jimbo: Diedrich Bader
Marten's Mom: Jessica Harper
-
I didn't get it at first, but thinking about Zooey, I think she'd make an excellent Dora. You just have to imagine her with a Trinity haircut. Amy Acker, however, I fear is too delicate for Faye... She might be OK for Penny though.
Upon sober reflection, I wonder if they could get Dita Von Teese to play Marten's mother?
-
I'd like a QC movie as much as the rest of us, but you all know it wouldn't happen. At least not for a long time. And we'd get all anal about plot differences, and even the tiniest thing. You know we would.
But just to clarify, QC is set in more than likely Northampton in MA. Jeph has put them in a few local stores that I recognize so I'm pretty sure that's accurate.
I live around there, so I'll just stalker-film people who look like the characters without their permission and we can all just dub over their voices. Perfect! :-D
-
I'm pretty sure that Jeph has mentioned QCville, MA is not a real place in the news posts. Probably inspired by Northampton though, as well as other places.
-
He took some places from Northampton (as mentioned in some of the text on the side [forget what you call it]), but changed it around
-
I gotta say, whilst Sylar would be a good Marten, I think Milo Ventimiglia might be a good Marten.
And whilst we're on the heroes topic, Sendhil Ramamurthy would do a great Amir.
Tasmin Greig does look a lot like early Dora though and Bill Baily would be a good Winslow. Whilst we're at it, just put Dylan Moran in as a cameo so we can get them all in the movie.
-
I can say one thing for sure.
Hanner's Mum should totaly be played by Lauren Lane IE: C.C Babcock of The Nanny series (1993-1999)
http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medias/nmedia/18/35/92/39/18437399.jpg Not only does she look like her, but she plays the mean-hard type on that show as well.
-
...

Heh. Reminds me of the line from the movie Bowfinger: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131325/
[on filming someone without their permission]
Robert K. Bowfinger: Did you know that Tom Cruise didn't know he was in that vampire movie until three months later?
Also: ChippyD, you are right. Lauren Lane looks exactly the way I think HannerMom looks.
-
Actually, Dylan Moran would be a hilarious Pintsize or possibly Jimbo. Although Jimbo probably needs a far more American accent.
-
Pintsize would HAVE to be the entire cast of family guy! That way we could get his fifty different voices from Cuban Dictator Pintsize to British Gentlemen Pintsize!
Also Seth Green needs to be in it. As a lead. NOW!
-
By this time three months from now, the US TV broadcasters will have left behind the comforting world of analog signals that brought countless hours of questionable content to many homes.
I just think the opening sentence of this article (http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081128-confusion-continues-to-dominate-as-dtv-transition-nears.html) is pretty amusing.
