So sorry if this has been posted, but it gave me so much joy and pleasure, that anyone who hasn't seen it should.

MusicScribbles · « **Reply #1 on:** 22 Nov 2007, 23:14 »

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.

Liz · « **Reply #3 on:** 24 Nov 2007, 21:44 »

The poster is okay to me, it's the casting choices that kinda wreck it.

SeanBateman · « **Reply #4 on:** 27 Nov 2007, 10:13 »

I hate ever talking about this sort of thing, but watching heroes has made me think Zachary Quinto could play a good Marten.

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #5 on:** 29 Nov 2007, 00:10 »

What the fuck why is Van Wilder Steve. That is awful.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #6 on:** 29 Nov 2007, 00:56 »

Kieffer I am sorry but I am finding it hard to imagine Sylar as a lovable clueless nerd boy.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #7 on:** 29 Nov 2007, 00:56 »

(He is extremely hot though.)

- Edit your post Lunchy, Gosh!

moderating habits die hard

So who would Larry The Cable Guy play? And Kiera Knightly, that image just scared me.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #9 on:** 30 Nov 2007, 03:22 »

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.

britMonster · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 Feb 2008, 01:46 »

I do have to agree that Jack Black would make a great Pintsize ^_^.

StreetSpirit · « **Reply #13 on:** 14 Feb 2008, 08:06 »

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.

HellStorm · « **Reply #14 on:** 15 Feb 2008, 08:28 »

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 =[

ZedAvatar · « **Reply #15 on:** 15 Feb 2008, 17:07 »

Zachary Quinto will have to wait - he's busy playing Spock in the new Star Trek movie (squee!)

JD · « **Reply #16 on:** 04 Apr 2008, 12:21 »

Jack Black as Pintsize doesn't quite seem to fit. Jude Law would make a funny British Pintsize however.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #17 on:** 04 Apr 2008, 14:08 »

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...

Evander · « **Reply #19 on:** 14 Apr 2008, 07:55 »

Tracy Morgan would make a great pint-size.

No CGI. Just use body-paint and camera tricks.

"Disturbingly plausible" is a pretty good description for most of the ideas Ihave.

I kinda think that a QC movie would end up as being depressibly OC-like. I like the poster, though. well, kinda.

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?

TomJ · « **Reply #30 on:** 04 Jun 2008, 12:12 »

Dora has to be Tamsin Greig. Who she? A seriously talented Britsh comic actress who's been in 2 of the best Channel 4 shows, Black Books and Green Wing, 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.

kirbyviper · « **Reply #33 on:** 19 Jun 2008, 17:36 »

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.

est · « **Reply #34 on:** 19 Jun 2008, 18:46 »

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!

Betagold · « **Reply #35 on:** 19 Jun 2008, 19:35 »

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.

xeracia · « **Reply #37 on:** 20 Jun 2008, 07:20 »

I always thought of Dora looking like Winona Ryder

HellStorm · « **Reply #38 on:** 20 Jun 2008, 08:42 »

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

Surgoshan · « **Reply #39 on:** 20 Jun 2008, 09:26 »

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.

HellStorm · « **Reply #40 on:** 20 Jun 2008, 10:23 »

But the corpse bride is one of his worst films. Thats like saying all music is crap because MCR is music.

Betagold · « **Reply #41 on:** 20 Jun 2008, 10:23 »

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.

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

~~mustang6172~~ · « **Reply #44 on:** 11 Aug 2008, 00:28 »

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.

MarkTBSc · « **Reply #45 on:** 11 Aug 2008, 13:36 »

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.

bicostp · « **Reply #46 on:** 11 Aug 2008, 18:51 »

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.

Surgoshan · « **Reply #47 on:** 11 Aug 2008, 20:00 »

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.
