I decided to have a little fun thinking about the human characters of TF2, I decided to stay only with the lead characters and other which seem fun. I tried to keep it only with actors that have worked with Michael Bay before to make it possible. So here it is: Chuck: 19-25. Sam's roommate at Princeton. He runs a conspiracy theory website. Funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life. 2nd Lead; MICHAEL CERA U.S. Military Leader: Late 20s/Early 30s, African-American with a great sense of humor and a tough military presence. Supporting Lead; WILL SMITH/ CUBA GOODING JR UK Special Forces Leader: Early-Mid 30s, British, smart and capable. Can be Caucasian, Black, East Indian. Supporting Lead; EWAN MCGREGOR/ GERARD BUTLER Galloway: Early 40s-Early 50s, male, National Security Advisor and presidential liaison. A curt man who is tightly wound. Supporting Lead; DAVID MORSE/ MICHAEL CLARK DUNCAN/ BILLY BOB THORNTON Professor Colan: 40s. Sam's physics professor at Princeton. He's a self-satisfied intellectual who compares himself to Einstein, and is arrogant enough to wear leather pants to look cool; STEVE BUSCEMI/ DAVID SCHWIMMER Theresa: Early 30s, African-American. She's Sgt. Epps' wife, has 4 kids, sassy and sexy, good with comedy GABRIELLE UNION/ NATASSIA MALTHE IF YOU TAKE OUT THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN THING. Sam's Ex-Girlfriend: Late Teens-Early 20s, cute and cerebral, a total arty girl that leads her own punk band; ISABEL LUCAS Eric Witwicky: Early 30s, Caucasian, Sam’s much older brother. A stiff and pedantic personal injury attorney. Loves money and having more of it than everyone else. Supporting Lead; HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN/ JOSH HARTNETT MJ: 19-25, Sam's RA. Third year college student studying bio-chem. Stuffy and stiff lipped, he's a hater of all things fun; MAKE THIS A GIRL, THEN CAST EMMA WATSON So what are your choices?
Liking those ideas very much. I think that "Alice" is going to be Sam's Ex-Girlfriend, and she is Isabel Lucas. I think that Michael Stahl-David would be perfect for Eric Witwicky, because he is sort of an up-and-coming star, the type Michael Bay cast in the first movie.
actually, i pretty much agree with all your choices. especially Cuba Gooding and Billy Bob. i don't know about Gabrielle Union though, and i don't know about Michael Cera...but then again i can't really think of any alternatives. and as for Sam's RA, i think a girl would be a good choice fo sho. I'd like to see Chris Evans involved somehow though. he rocked the house in Sunshine.
I'm betting that on Alice too, plus, Isabel Lucas is too young to play any other character, plus there's no room for a character named alice other than Sam's ex. I'd love to see Chris Evans too, since day one I've thought him as Eric Witwicky, now I can't remember why I didn't "cast" him... Well, about Gabrielle union, I remembered she existed since I saw a trailer of an upcoming Eddie Murphy comedy, and she was there, I can't remember the name of that movie at the time; and Michael Cera, I'm not too sure about him too, but just as you say there aren't many other choices I can think of. Maybe they can cast Hugo Weaving too.
they already did, he's Megatron, remember? lol and yeah anybody who's going to be in one of those ******ed Eddie Murphy comedies where he plays various versions of himself needs to stay the #$@% away from Transformers 2. I think it's called "eddie murphy in eddie murphy in: Meet Dave". and you know who could replace michael cera? Chirstopher Mintz-Plasse AKA McLovin.
Yeah, but we never saw him as he is, and his voice was very distorted, so he could play a role without raising any questions.
I hope they get Andy Milonakis in to play Chuck, he'd be perfect. It'd be cool if they could get Nick Cage for Sam's Prof too, that'd be the best wouldn't it?
Thinkin about it, he could be better than michael cera, and has that geely vibe. You've convinced me. I forgot about nick cage and I like that choice, and the part of the professor could be like bobby bolivia, which was a semi-cameo. He could do a great job on it.
