I thought this sounded like fun: Hollywood has not always been kind to the comic, sci-fi, and/or superhero communities. Sometimes, in trying to make great stories and characters "more main stream", they end up making movies that are total cheese... Just for giggles, imagine Hollywood wanted to make "The Big O" into a movie or a movie series (live action or animated), but they were going about it the wrong way. What would make it cheesy in your eyes? (Examples: bad lines, odd endorsements, wrong actors or actresses, etc...) Feel free to play the role of a movie big-wig trying to "sell" your cheesy "Big O" movie... Everyone's on the honor system here - please no idea-bashing... If you want, feel free to comment on what would make you see a "Big O" movie. OK, go! I'll start things off: - Add "Generation X" elements to Roger, Dorothy or Beck...
- Dorothy's black dress isn't good enough - she either wears a "French Maid"-type outfit, or she's plastic-looking and wearing a plastic dress...
- Ditch "The Griffon" - Roger drives a Lincoln now...
- Roger calls Big O...on his modified RAZR...
A custom Griffon would help to make a good movie... |

A couple more...
Bad ideas...
Jim Carrey as Alan Gabriel
Al Pacino as Alex Rosewater
Robin Williams as Gordon Rosewater
Good ideas?
Crispin Glover (George McFly, Back to the Future) as Alan Gabriel (not because his name is Crispin either...)
Mena Suvari as Angel
Christina Ricci as R Dorothy
James Franco (Harry Osborn from the Spider-Man movies) as Roger Smith
John Lithgow as Norman Burg
Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) as Colonel Dan Dastun
Seth Green as Alex Rosewater

Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker in Episodes I-II) as anything would ruin the whole movie no matter how good everyone and everything else was.. No actor deserved to have his career ruined through typecasting more than this guy after Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. I would especially have to go nuclear if they made him Roger Smith. Only Christian Bale can be Roger Smith (played Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins). I also don't believe Sean Connery should play as Norman Burg; but it needs to be some old British actor. I've toyed with the idea of Kirsten Dunst at Dorothy, but she might be getting too old. Dorothy is 18. Dunst is already 25. Most any blond can pull off Angel, so I don't really have an opinion about that. |

An ending that is well-written and thought provoking, while wrapping up and answering every single question raised.
This would, naturally, be in a bad Big O film.

Gordon Rosewater: Anthony Hopkins
Heck Yes Yes, I concur. Roger Smith: John Cusack
R. Dorothy: Kirsten Dunst
Norman Berg: Michael Cane
Yes, please no, and yeS!!! I'm sorry, bash is all i can do, since i remain braindead... OK, John would make an OK Roger, but then you would have to put his buddy Jeremy Piven in as Dan Dastun.  If only Bruce Campbell was younger, his Roger Smith would have been dead on. Yes, please, no Kirsten. I would even take Winona Ryder in bad "youthful" movie makeup over Ms. Dunst. Even Alyssa Milano would be better... I still think John Cleese would be a great Norman, but Anthony sounds like a good choice, too. It's only mostly dead. Give it a jolt of caffeine to rescusitate it...  An ending that is well-written and thought provoking, while wrapping up and answering every single question raised.
This would, naturally, be in a bad Big O film.
Finale, I dig the new avatar and sig.  Indeed, descent Sci-fi films that deal with scenarios like Paradigm City and it's inhabitants shouldn't answer all the questions they raise... A bad I could definitely see would be poor "time compression" of alot of Big O footage. Sort of like what was done with the first Batman and Spiderman movies, although, they weren't too bad. (However, I still disagree with creating and killing a villain in the same movie. Except for the Frankenstein monster...) With Big O, it would be much more drastic... .The Final Negotiator. |

Reviving this topic because I really like it and have something to contribute! In my mind, all I can think of is classic Hollywood actors to play these parts. I seriously cannot think of anyone in modern times(even though I do make references to the people from Mad Men to the Big O characters...) that would match everyone so perfect. This has been ever since I fully saw Season 2. My cast: Gregory Peck as Roger Smith  Lauren Bacall as Angel  (I'm pretty sure there is a little bit of Lauren Bacall in Angel) Judy Garland as R. Dorothy Waynewright  (obvious reference is obvious) Greta Garbo as Vera  (Garbo has the smoothest most wonderful Swedish accent ever. She also is very "dominant" in a lot of her roles and was how she acted in real life) Donald O'Conner as Beck  (He gives off that silly vibe that you just can't not love) For some reason, even though Yam is only in the manga and not the anime, Tippi Hedren gives me a Yam vibe.  Jimmy Stewart would have a part in it too, but I don't know who he'd really be. Maybe he could sorta be Dausten? Jimmy Stewart's P.I. characters were all really good.  I think I have more but for some reason they do not come to mind. |
