I'm surprised no one's mentioned James Earl Jones for any voice-acting. Although having him do Mechanon or Dr. Destroyer might be a little... odd. Well, he voiced Darth Vader in the first trilogy. I'd say he could do a great job voicing either Mechanon or Doctor D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised no one's mentioned James Earl Jones for any voice-acting. Although having him do Mechanon or Dr. Destroyer might be a little... odd. That would be perfect, just put it in the backstory of creating Mechanon. (Marksman is running his final diagnositics.) Mechanon: "Good evening, sir. If you are finished, I would like to start preparing dinner. Plus, the other hereoes will be returning from their shift soon and some of them are wounded." Rose: "He sounds like James Earl Jones." Marksman: "The fact that he used the same software as Steven Hawkings bothered me, so I changed his voice." Rose: (sarcastically) "Darth Vader is so much better." Marksman: "No, no, it's perfect, Mechanon say, 'Welcome to Homestead'" Mechanon: "Welcome to Homestead" Rose: "'You underestimate the power of the Darkside.'" Mechanon: "I do not understand, what is Darkside?" Marksman: "Nevermind, state your prime directives." Mechanon: "I am the Mechanon-series Robot. Directive One: I am to follow the orders of any Champion. Directive Two: Help humanity as long as it does not disobey Directive One. Directive Three: " Rose: (sarcastically with a deep voice) "Destroy the Organics." Marksman: "Rose!" (pause) "Ok, tomorrow I'll change it. Mechanon, execute orders." View from Mechanon shows "Priority One Order: Destroy the Organics" on his head-up display. Mechanon: "Very well. I shall make the preperations."

This might be very interesting if this was still the origin story for Mechanon. As it is, Marksman and Rose never existed in the CU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Re: Casting "Champions Universe: The Motion Picture" Well, the last time we discussed this topic-- http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42596&highlight=Champions+Movie I posted these suggestions-- I'd rather have Michael Clark Duncan as Dark Seraph. Sir Ian McKellen could be Doctor Destroyer--he's one of the few I can think of who looks as old as Destroyer is supposed to be. (No offense to Sir Ian.) Mechanon is depcited by a cross of CGI and animatronics courtesy of Stan Winston Studios. Its voice is the Cylon Centurion voice from the original Battlestar Galactica. Mark Hamill is a good choice for Foxbat, as is Paul Reubens. But someone else on a thread long ago suggested Johnny Depp, and that's who I'm going with. Bruce Campbell should be the Champions version of Silver Age Superman, Vanguard. I think he'd be great as the ultimate hero who makes the ultimate sacrifice. As For the Champions-- Defender------Matthew McConaghey Nighthawk----Vin Diesel Sapphire------Christina Aguilera Witchcraft-----Sorry, I got nothin' Ironclad-------Christopher Judge Kinetik---------Tyrese I've said before that Robert Picardo would be perfect for Beamline, and I have great confidence that he will eventually escape into the 5th Edition Universe. Since then, I've decided that Jennifer Love Hewitt would be great as Witchcraft. Also-- While others have suggested Mark Hamill as Foxbat, I'd like to see him go all dark and twisted--as Blowtorch. And I'd like to see James Callis (Baltar on the new Battlestar Galactica) go all sinister as Giles de Morphant--the Black Paladin. And while I thought Billy Zane made a great hero as The Phantom, I think he'd be great as Holocaust, or perhaps VIPER's Supreme Serpent. I also think Zane would work well as Menton. He's handsome enough and could do understated evil quite easily. As for directors--I'm thinking either Robert Rodriguez or Bryan Singer. Perhaps both. Should we get Kurt Busiek to write the screenplay, or does someone on these boards want to take a crack at it? And I want Alex Ross to do the movie posters. I think we can all agree on that-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctoberRaven Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Re: Casting "Champions Universe: The Motion Picture" Actually, now that I think about it, Bulldozer is a lot like Bill Goldberg. Even down to the egotism and love of motorcycles. I'd buy Goldberg as Dozer. Also, Thomas Jane for Gigaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamLeisemann Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Re: Casting "Champions Universe: The Motion Picture" I take it back ... starring as Takofanes ...Achmed The Dead Terrorist. My speakers are not doing well right now, but I have to say... It is creepy that somebody did a puppet of a dead terrorist... CGI for Masquerade. Will Smith as Zig-Zag (with CGI help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Re: Casting "Champions Universe: The Motion Picture" If we're going with the 4Ed look of Menton, the first face that came to my mind was Jason Isaacs (aka Lucius Malfoy in the HP movies).
