who would you see playing the QC characters, if the whole thing would become a movie (..yeah, I know..).
(hope this has not been posted 50 times before)
they said he is dangerous, they said he is insane
-
Faye- Thora Birch.
Other than that, it don't matter to me.
-
martin allways reminded me as john cusak. you know minus the fact that he scares the hell out of me, is too old, not nearly as cool. i feel dirty even saying this and i dont know why.
-
Clearly, Marten is Zach Braff.
-
Marten: Jake Gyllenhaal or Zack Braff
Dora: Eliza Dushku (or maybe Zooey Deschanel)
Hannelore: Brittany Murphy (she can totally do the strung out crazy look, just watch Spun)
Faye:
Steve:
Jimbo: Tom Waits
Ellen: Bryce Dallas Howard
-
Clearly, Marten is Zach Braff.
Seconded.
Steve could be the guy that played Stiffler in the American Pie movies (no idea what his name is).
-
Seann William Scott. And No, I disagree with that.
Here's where I'm at
Marten: Zach Braff
Faye: Thora Birch
Dora: Helena Bonham Carter
Steve:
Ellen:
Amir: Stephen Lobo
Natasha:
Hannelore: Brittney Murphy
Sven:
-
Marten: Zach Braff or Topher Grace
Faye: Anna Paquin or Amber Tamblyn
Dora: Alexis Bledel
Raven: Tina Majorino
Steve: Dax Shepard
Ellen: Danielle Panabaker
Pintsize: Voice of Alan Tudyk!
Hannelore: Brittany Murphy or Kristen Bell
... At least, that's what I think would work.
-
Alexis Bledel is for no, however I do believe you have the perfect voice for Pintsize.
-
Seann William Scott. And No, I disagree with that.

Dude, isn't Helena Bonham Carter like 40?
Also, Rosearik Rikki Simons would also make a good Pintsize
-
no on helena bonham carter for dora.
@ravenbomb -- yea but I doubt simons would enjoy being typecasted as cute annoying little robot.
-
lol isnt zack braff the guy from Scrubs??
I think Ray Romano shoud play Marten, lol....
it would be interesting to me if they treally mixed it up by making the characters older or maybe one of them could be black like Mos Def......
-

and Alan Rickman could be Pintsize!
I actually think Braff would make a good Steve
-
if you mean an animated series, it'll be extremely time consuming, trust me i'm an animation student and 10 minutes took me 2 months to produce.
-
Dude, isn't Helena Bonham Carter like 40?
She's still got it, and plus, get her some Fight Club make up, she looks Gothish......oh and she's a fucking terrific actress....yeah.......but personal opinion I guess.
As for Ray Romano, I'll just assume that was a joke.
-
No on Braff (I get the impression that the only reason he keeps getting mentioned is because of the Garden State Soundtrack). I don't think Jake Gyllenhal could pull it off either.
Possibly yes on Topher Grace for Marten. Tom Welling would be a good choice too, since he already does a pretty good job of awkward shyness. He'd just need to skinny up a bit.
-
Braff would be totally awesome as Marten.
-
marten=topher grace
steve=dave grohl
pintsize=clive owen (with digital voice effect. think about it)
faye=anna paquin
ellen=Danielle Panabaker
brittany murphy has hannelore potential for sure
-
Thora Birch for Faye? How is that not perfect?
She even looks the part.
-
I'd like to throw a tip of the hat to Selma Blair for Dora. Only one I can think of in the current pool of actresses that looks the part.
Next Q: Who'd play Raven?
-
I think Jeph should cameo as the crazy guy with the guitar.
-

Next Q: Who'd play Raven?
Selma Blair...not a bad pic actually, for looks anyway.
Raven? Ditzy trendy kid.......Ashlee Simp....no, I won't go there.
-
what about Jason Schwartzman for Marten?
-
In a QC movie, every part would be played by Samuel L. Jackson, including Pintsize.
-
AND THERE'S NOT A GOT-DAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT
-
not when there's Snakzorz on teh plane
-
Zach Braff as Marten - TERRIBLE
-
Anyone already famous as any main cast member = a terrible idea.
We have done this kind of thread before, and it always degenerates into a list of actors who are hot right now. In the real world, these kinds of movies are almost always a handful of relatively unknown stars, and maybe one or two name stars in supporting roles.
All that said: Zach Braff? He looks nothing like Marten. According to Jeph, Marten looks like a paler version of his friend Bryan. This is Bryan:
(http://www.questionablecontent.net/fp/pshoodie.jpg)
That don't look very Zach Braffish to me.
On the other hand though, if we were looking at making a movie about the people here on the forums we'd definitely be contacting Mr Braff to play a certain mod *cough*Mnem*cough*. (don't look at his more recent hairy pics, the resemblance is more striking when he's clean-shaven).
-
I don't want to see a movie made about Questionable Content unless it fits every single aspect of the storyline. No exceptions, no additions.
In other words, directed, produced, etc. by Jeph.
-
Though it would totally not be that good to make a Questionable Content movie,my cast would be as follows.
Marten:Jason Lee or Jake Gyllenhaal
Faye:Any of the attractive hipster girls who resemble her.
Dora:Shannon Doherty?
Steve:Adam Pascal (If not quite so RIPPED)
Ellen:Uhh..
Raven:Hmm..
Hannelore:Mena Suvari
-
I like the idea of Mena Suvari as Hannelore
-

I hereby decree Est gets to be played by Hugh Jackman (that is to say it is totally Hugh Jackman's honor to be playing Est).
-
I thought about Mena Suvari, but Brittany Murphey looks the part just as much and she's not as godawful an actress as Suvari is

[img]
Look Closer (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169547/) she's done some good work.
-
yes, I've seen American Beautey, that was the best she's been and that was just okay. She was the only one who wasn't instantly more entertaining when in a scene with Kevin Spacey
-
I said it on the old, old QC movie thread, and I'll say it again
Shannyn Sossamon as Dora
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/selfhelpless/shannynsossamon_th.jpg)
I like the Jason Schwartzman as Marten idea
-
Marten- I could sort of see Topher Grace. Maybe.
Faye- Thora Birch
Dora- Shannon Sossaman
Raven- Selma Blair, if she got a little more meat on her bones
Ellen- Allyson Hannigan
Steve- Whoever suggested Stifler earlier might have been on to something. But think more Road Trip than American Pie.
Hannelore- Judy Greer (she has under-eye circles already! I can relate.)
Jimbo- Jason Lee. He could just walk over from the set of My Name is Earl
-
Selma Blair, notwithstanding the wrong body type, is a bit old to do Raven...thus my picking her for Dora.
-
Pfff, I dont care who play the main character, as long as there is a "Mr. Jackson chasing some weird guy in a suit" in the background during the entire film, like, in the opening shot, somewhere in the middle, and then in the end... or something like that, totally unrelated, but kinda cool :)
*edit* Oh, and by mr. Jackson, I mean mr. Samuel L Jackson.
-
if it wouldn't be typcasting too much, what about Diedrich Bader for Jimbo?
-
I said it on the old, old QC movie thread, and I'll say it again
Shannyn Sossamon as Dora
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/selfhelpless/shannynsossamon_th.jpg)
I like the Jason Schwartzman as Marten idea
Thats a good call. She looks very Dora-esque.
-
it would be interesting to me if they treally mixed it up by making the characters older or maybe one of them could be black like Mos Def......
I can see it now! "QC: Inspired by the webcomic." Martin is a black retiree widow, Raven is a 14-year-old transvestite who killed his father at the age of 6 when he tried to pimp him on the streets, Faye is from Canada.... WHERE WILL IT END?
In a QC movie, every part would be played by Samuel L. Jackson, including Pintsize.
Phew! And here I was expecting another Chuck Norris joke!
-
Pintsize would be Jude Law playing a midget ala Leguizamo in Moulin Rouge!, and Dora is the Green Hornet
-
Jimbo- Ben Stiller?
i haven't thought about it any more in depth than that Zooey Deschanel should play someone (Pizza Girl?) because i have a crush on both her and her name.
also, Linda Cardellini! maybe!
EDIT: i can kind of see Christopher Masterson as Steve, perhaps.
-
Billy West as Pintsize. no contest.
-
Jeph's cameo definitely needs to be the makeout hobo.
-
Topher Grace as Martin
Thora Birch as Faye
Helena Bonham Carter as Dora afterall she isn't THAT old and Dora is a little older
Clare Danes as Ellen
-
I say Schmendrick, why is a raven like a writing desk?
I'd hate to see Thora Birch as Faye...actually I think I'd hate to see just about every actor and actress in this thread in anything. However I will admit that while I hate Shannyn Sossamon, she would make a good Dora physically.
But surely we can find a way to fit Bruce Campell into the movie somewhere!
-
But surely we can find a way to fit Bruce Campell into the movie somewhere!
We will, or else choke the rivers with our dead!
-
Clare Danes as Ellen
As a redhead, I think Ellen should be played by a natural redhead, none of that Sara Michelle Gellar as Daphne crap they pulled in Scooby Doo. We are under represented as is.
-
EDIT: Nevermind, already said it, don't want to repeat myself
-
I say Schmendrick, why is a raven like a writing desk?
.... that made me so very happy :)
-
I think Jeph should cameo as the crazy guy with the guitar.
makeout hobo!!! if he's gonna do it, it should be makeout hobo!
martin: no on topher. braff, maybe.
faye: thora birch or me, har har.
dora: shannyn sossamon
raven: brittany murphy does ditzy very well, but i don't know about black hair.
steve: eric szmanda
ellen: erica christiensen (seen traffic? and she looks crazy anyways.)
hannelore: judy greer (looks dead on hannelore, but i don't know if she'd be too old or not) or zooey deschanel
natasha: claire danes
jimbo: will farrell. that'd be hilarious.
-
I agree on the Jimbo choice!
-
QC movie? No. A QC tv-show or sitcom would suit it better.
-
good point. then they could go straight off the comic or something. like, each new idea or situation could be an episode or something.
-
Martyn: Ashton Kutcher
Faye: Amy Lee
Dora: Pink
Pintsize: Andy Dick/LL Cool J
Steve: Jim Carrey
Ellen: Alyson Hannigan
Hannelore: Mary-Kate Olsen
J-Lo would be pizza girl, and her trademark would be singing at the door instead of knocking.
Then everyone joins in, but Pintsize gets it wrong and a tablecloth goes over his head and he's running around bumping into shit. Yakety Sax is playing. Everyone laughs and says:
Oh, Pintsize!
Wah wah waaaaaaah
-
*bump*
There's no way anyone could beat that set up. Especially if Andy Dick and LL Cool J switched off the narration every other sentence or so. Maybe every other word.
What about a Wes Anderson/Jeph co-direction? I think that would yield some pretty hipster-pleasing results.
-
Reading this thread just whapped me over the head with a terrible, terrible idea. Anyone remember the Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn%27s_Groovy_Pirate_Ghost_Mystery)episode of South Park?
Now imagine Marten, Faye, Dora, Raven, Steve, Ellen and Pintsize doing that. The Indie Rock Gang, going from town to town, listening to groovy indie concerts and solving radical mysteries!
...and thus have I broken the Internets.
-
first villain: Crazy drunk guy playing guitar
-
Azura Skye for Raven
(http://tedstrong.com/graphicsazura/azura06.jpg)
She has the bizzare high cutesy voice that would be perfect for Raven's lines.
I agree with Shannon Sosamon for Dora and Birch for Faye.
I'd also like to throw in a Colin Hanks for Marten.
-
marten - i totally, 100% support the use of colin hanks.
faye - please. ANYONE but thora birch. someone suggested linda cardinelli, someone else said anna paquin. both are fine choices. just...not thora birch.
dora - ehh, okay, shannyn sossaman. i barely even know who the hell she is.
raven - also seconding azura skye.
steve - seconding eric szmanda
ellen - may i suggest amy adams from junebug?
(http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/the_wedding_date/amy_adams/weddingprec.jpg)
hannelore - i can see brittany murphy doing it, she's kind of an oddball. given the right role, i'm sure she could do well.
-
yes to amy adams! i think she could do it, and she can do the younger thing.
-
If Lindy Booth put on a bit of weight she might be able to pull off Ellen....sort of
-
I think I should play Marten.
YES.
-
Everyone is silly Marten should be played by Johnny Depp. Yeah or Adam West.
-
no! Abe Vigoda! ABE VIGODA!
-
maybe one of them could be black like Mos Def......
as opposed to Black like...?
-
...Noob Saibot?
-
he means the way they changed a character from white to black in the film adaption to hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, right?
-
QC movie? No. A QC tv-show or sitcom would suit it better.
Definitely more suited to the format. Each episode would actually cover 30 minutes (in other words, real-time), so that the story would move along at the same pace as the comic. You can't condense QC into 2 hours, it just wouldn't do it justice.
-
Marten: Zach Braff or Topher Grace
Faye: Anna Paquin or Amber Tamblyn
Dora: Alexis Bledel
Raven: Tina Majorino
Steve: Dax Shepard
Ellen: Danielle Panabaker
Pintsize: Voice of Alan Tudyk!
Hannelore: Brittany Murphy or Kristen Bell
... At least, that's what I think would work.
I love you man.
...Even though I think that would not be the correct actor to play the part. In my mind, Pintsize a higher voice than Alan Tudyk.
-
Sacha Baron Cohen should do the voice of Pintsize.
-
Clearly, the movie would be an animated film.
So, there's no need for big actors.
-
Marten: Zach Braff or Topher Grace
Faye: Anna Paquin or Amber Tamblyn
Dora: Alexis Bledel
Raven: Tina Majorino
Steve: Dax Shepard
Ellen: Danielle Panabaker
Pintsize: Voice of Alan Tudyk!

... At least, that's what I think would work.
I love you man.
...Even though I think that would not be the correct actor to play the part. In my mind, Pintsize a higher voice than Alan Tudyk.
In my mind, Pintsize sounds exactly like Sonny, only maybe a little higher-pitched.
"I did not murder him!"

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a105/hellokari/EvaAmurri.jpg)
dora = eva amurri
-
Marten's mom: Jessica Harper
-
get Eon Mckai to direct
http://www.eonmckai.com/main/
-
I could more see this whole thing as a cartoon series, the way the story unfolds it wouldn't fit a movie, plus everyone no matter the cast would be dissapointed by who was playing who, it's much easier to just cast voices and still have fans be happy.
Also Billy West as Pintsize, for any of you who have seen the original pilot of Invader Zim, I can totally here West's ZIM voice coming out of pintsize.
-
steve - vince vaughn
VEGAS BABY VEGAS!!!!
-
I can see it working as an animation more than a film. With an animation, we'd keep the images of what we know the characters to look like, and not have them ruined by bad acting.
Voice actors though...
Marten: Zach Braff or Topher Grace
Faye: Anna Paquin or Amber Tamblyn
Dora: Alexis Bledel
Raven: Tina Majorino
Steve: Dax Shepard
Ellen: Danielle Panabaker
Pintsize: Voice of Alan Tudyk!
Hannelore: Brittany Murphy or Kristen Bell
It all fits! Genuis!
And definitely a Will Ferrel cameo as Jimbo, it's just got *made for it* written all over!
-
dora = eva amurri
Winner.
-
Am I the only person getting ridiculously excited by this thread?
-
i dunno, but after reading the latest comic, i am advocating even more that will ferrell be jimbo. even if it's animated, which sounds like a really good idea, it's gotta be ferrell.
-
Diedrich Bader as Jimbo > Will Ferrell as Jimbo
although Zack Ward would be pretty good, too
-
LAWRENCE. dude. you win a prize.
-
Anybody > Will Ferrell as Jimbo
Fixed.
-
anyone, Shok? ANYONE?? even LARRY THE CABLE GUY???
-
anyone, Shok? ANYONE?? even LARRY THE CABLE GUY???
Ya heard me. I stand by my crappy casting choices!
-
voice acting cast suggestions for Jimbo: John C. Reilly, John Goodman, Woody Harrelson, Diedrich Bader... i dunno
-
ever see the director's cut of Almost Famous? Zack Ward's voice as Red Dog could work for Jimbo as well
-
Pintsize=Jack Black.
Also, Scarlett Johanson as Faye?
And Lindsay Lohan as Hannelore (please watch Praire Home Companion before judging)
-
ok here we go
Ben Stiller, Marten
Ben Stiller, Dora
Ben Stiller, Faye
Ben Stiller, Hannelore
Jim Carrey, Pintsize.
=O
-
Scarlett Johanson as Faye?
You are a crazy monkey person. These are supposed to look like regular people, not clamshell-birthed goddesses of beauty.
-
ok, updated/revised cast list:
Marten: Scott Mechlowicz
Faye: Amy Acker (maybe not the best choice, but I think she could do well in the role, and this was the hardest character to cast by far)
Dora: Zooey Deschanel
Steve: Shawn Hatosy
Raven: Carla Gallo
Hannelore: Brittney Murphy
Marten's mom: Jessica Harper
voice of Pintsize: Richard Steven Horvitz
Jimbo: Diedrich Bader
-
Only suggestions I have so far would be
Marten- Justin Long (guy from Waiting, and the new Mac v PC commercials)
And I totally agree with Shannyn Sossamon as Dora, skinny dark hair, hot. I don't know her acting skills, but she looks the part at least.
-
I dont know about acting but that eva Amuri person looks the part, or Shannyn Sossamon
and Alan tudyk- pintsize would be perfect, Tudyk rules (and he is in two of my favourite movies of all time)
John D'Maggio as Jimbo?
Yes to a T.v. series and yes to Adam West!
-
Faye -> Clea DuVall. Yes!
-
who would play the makeout hobo
kieffer don't count
-
I feel that james wood would make a good pintsize voice.
-
who would play the makeout hobo
kieffer don't count
Makeout hobo would be played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I think he'd be awesome in that role.
-
Tony Vincent for Marten ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v606/Sabriel_48/whatasmile.bmp)
-
Makeout Hobo = T.J. Thyne
-
Winslow voice: Rosearik "Riki" Simons. I see him having that high type of voice like GIR
Pintsize voice: I liked the suggestion of Billy West, though honestly, not sure, I'd see his voice being something like a teen ages, and a bit higher.
-
The more I think about it, the more I think Amy Acker would be a good pick for Faye
-
Pintsize voice: I liked the suggestion of Billy West, though honestly, not sure, I'd see his voice being something like a teen ages, and a bit higher.
I always thought that, if QC were ever an animated series, Billy West would be perfect for the voice of Marten.
I think that whoever does the voice for Stewie Griffin would be a good choice for Pintsize.
-
I reckon Ben Foster would make a pretty good Steve, but that's going off his performance in The Punisher, not X3
-
Yay! I have new hobby! Let me head over to IMDB and do some diging. I'm gonna get this right, trust me.
Chew on this idea: Unknowns playing the main charaters while typically high paid and main billed folks as bit parts.
-
If QC were a movie/TV show I can see:
Marten:
Faye:
Dora: Sienna Guillory
Raven:
Steve: Paul Walker
Ellen:
Amir:
Natasha: Piper Perabo
Pintsize:
Hannelore: Brittany Murphy works
Winslow:
Jimbo: Dax Shepard
Makeout Hobo: Colin Farrell
-
POST PIX. IM LAZY AND NOT LOOKING THOSE ACTORS UP
-
Ok, I'm liking Alan Tudyk as Pintsize and Tom Waits as Jimbo. We HAVE TO HAVE TOM WAITS PLZ
Beyond that, eh
And Diedrich Bader is not really a redneck watch-out-for-your-cornhole bloke - anyone seen the Drew Carey Show? Before it started to massively suck?
Anyway apart from the above, I kind of agree with unknowns for the rest of the parts, because otherwise you aren't watching marten and faye and dora and pintsize, you're watching BRAD PITT AS some dude and BRITTANY MURPHY AS some crazy bint (heh imagine that)
-
Here's a grand idea : A QC movie cast with virtual unknowns!
I think that's the best choice. Star power can die.

My only input to this thread is that ZACH BRAFF IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE MARTEN EVER, EVEN HYPOTHETICALLY.
k thx bye.

I'm inclined to agree.

I'm sorry, but since the comic's about Indie Rock anyways, doesn't it make sense to have one of the characters be a member of a good Indie band? I mean, I admit to not having much access to Indie music (where I grew up you were considered an outsider if you listened to anything other than Merle Haggard and Lynnyrd Skynnyrd) but aren't there at least a couple of good Indie artists who would fit one or two of the roles?

Indie artists could at least be supporting cast and not part of the 'main-group' of characters, much like grunge artists were in the killer Cameron Crowe film 'Singles'.
