Rupert Thorne Casting Threads

[Two-Face]

Does anyone think that Rupert Thorne should be in Batman Begins Sequels?

I think he should be, he's evil just like Carmine Falcone.

If so who should play him?

RIP to John Vernon who voiced him TAS and MOTB.

[I_believe_you]

Oh yes Thorne should be in the movies at some point. Maybe Thorne could hire Bane like in TAS to kill Batman. Batman should battle regular gangsters and Thorne fits the bill.

[Captain_Obvious]

eh, there are more important characters that should be in the sequels, IMO

[Two-Face]

Rupert Thorne is important character just like Falcone, Thorne is first gangster in Gotham before Falcone, his important like Joker, Two-Face, Riddler etc... I'm not saying that he should be in a after Batman Begins, I'm saying he could be on 3rd 4th movie.

[P. Cushing]

Maury Chaykin (Nero Wolfe, Dancing with Wolves) would be perfect;

[Detective Flass]

Yeah, I say he'd fit the part. :up:

[Soma-Scoff]

Having Rupert Thorne in a sequel is a big yes

[cerealkiller182]

definatle thorne, and its not like you have to pick him over other villains you just have to have his presence known.

[elorenishii386]

Rupert Thorne...a definite yes :up:

[AnavelGato86]

more important characters...yes. But remember, he can have the more important characters' legs broken, how they gonna act then huh?

[Riven]

I'd prefer them to continue with the Falcone organisation, possibly the Maroni's (which becomes almost mandatory if you're gonna do the Two-Face origin).

Carmine Falcone can beat Rupert Thorne anyday! Heck, even Carl Grissom was cooler than Thorne. :D

[Ceb-Man]

Rupert Thorne with Professor Hugo Strange ( Batman: Strange Apparitons- the Englehart- Rogers, with the Gerry Conway 80's stories)
I like the idea of Maury Chakin as Thorne.

The Ceb-Man!

[Joker831]

Ok given this mobster is used, i think James Woods would be so good in this role. I would love to see him in a Batman movie.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/38397000/jpg/_38397645_woods150.jpg

Anyone agree?

[Spider-Kurt]

Hmmm. I think Woods could fit in a Batman movie as a crime boss or corrupt cop but not really Thorn.I'm thinking somebody else is better suited for the role.

sorry if I'm not getting this rigt, but is Rupert in BB or mabey in the sequel? Cause that's just teh awesome.

****ing hell! I made this thread (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176374) only three days ago and already people are ignoring it! Is it that hard to make a post in an existing thread instead of starting another one on the same topic?

[deDIKnight]

Calm down dear, its only a topic!

Anyway James Woods is too skinny for Thorne - When I think thorne I think of a bigger, tough guy actor like Brian Dennehy - who incidentally starred with James woods in "Best Seller"

Dennehy also played "Killer Clown" John Wayne Gacy in a TVM

What about the guy who does his voice for the animated series?

The guy from Outlaw Jose Wales and Animal House - errrr- John something.....


Darn memory's goin'

NURSE!!!!!

He actually looks like him

[deDIKnight]

DAmn John Vernon's Dead?

That Guy was a great actor

[Nightwing5]

His name is John Vernon, and he is dead.

[deDIKnight]

Whoops My bad

R.I.P JOHN VERNON

Well I only got a new computer recently and I'm not up with whos dead and who is still inskin and kicking

I liked J V too

Well Brian Dennehy then - or that Nero Wolfe Fella - MAury Chaykin

[Riven]

James Woods looks nothing like the Thorne character is supposed to.


And what's the point of putting in Thorne anyway? He's not that great a character and he's basically the same mob-boss Falcone is... I dunno what happens with him after Begins, but I'd rather see the movies carry on with him or at least the Falcone empire...

[Detective Flass]

Now that's inspired casting.

WOODS DAMMIT!

[deDIKnight]

Nope No Woods as Thorne

Salvatore Silvestro from MAsk of the Phantasm perhaps, but not Thorne

I'm with Riven (again it seems - gettin to be a habit Riv) there is no need for Thorne - but if there must be maybe a bigger, older guy than woods

Paul Sorvino (PAulie from Good Fellas) would be great as Rupert Thorne

[T-1000]

James Woods wanted to play Riddler after Batman Returns came out.

[Riven]

James Woods wanted to play Riddler after Batman Returns came out.
Really? That's a bizarre choice. I've never heard that one before...

I always imagined the Riddler to be more of a coward and a sort of con man character anyway. James Woods has the kinda face that says "I'm gonna BEAT you UP". :eek: Perhaps ten years ago Woods would have been good for Two-Face, I dunno. He seems to play brutal characters really well.


On topic, I'm still saying no to Rupert Thorne. I recently watched the Two-Face two-part episode of TAS again and he bugged me in it. Dunno why, but his character just seemed misplaced in that otherwise brilliant episode.
I'm with Riven (again it seems - gettin to be a habit Riv)Indeed! Before you know it we'll be getting along! ;)

[Two-Face]

I think Rupert Thorn is good gangster villain they use him like working with Falcone family.

I'm not saying the producers ever actually offered him the role (since Robin Williams was probably their first choice anyway). At the premiere of Batman Returns, Woods said he wanted to be in the next one as Riddler.

[Mr. Movie Man]

Donald Trump for Thorne!!!!! Just joking
:cool:

[S_H_F_4839]

I would like to see thorne, I think James Gandolfini could pull it off, its just an off the wall choice I thought I would suggest.

[deDIKnight]

That idea could work - Gandolfini aged up - nice one!!!!

But isnt the guy sick of playing mobsters?

[American_Idiot]

One actor comes to mind when I think of Rupert Thorne...and that man is Brian Cox!

Brian Cox is a good choice for Thorne.

[Matis17]

Now that I've heard it mentioned, James Woods could have made a totally kick-ass riddler.

If Woods were brought in as a mob boss, I would make it Maroni. I could totally see that. However, it seems unlikely that they are going to use that character.

[TheJuice]

Paul Sorvino (PAulie from Good Fellas) would be great as Rupert Thorne


Great minds think alike. I've always thought Paul Sorvino would make a great Thorne.

http://webzoom.freewebs.com/moviegraphs/Sorvino%20Paul%202.jpg

[deDIKnight]

Yeah Lol - Paul Sorvino's got it down pat as a Crime boss caharacter actor

Big Paul with white winged hair would look the part

But I like the Brian Cox choice too

Lol like that a lot - the guy can play creepy and scary in equal measure

Hard to believe then he's the good guy in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.....

[P. Cushing]

Chaykin Dammit!

[aquiles]

Great minds think alike. I've always thought Paul Sorvino would make a great Thorne.

http://webzoom.freewebs.com/moviegraphs/Sorvino%20Paul%202.jpghe would be perfect

[Two-Face]

I thought I bring this back I like RT he was good in TAS.

[The Chairman]

Cox or Sorvino. Both would be equally awesome.

I think Michael Constantine would be a good candidate for Rupert Thorne.

[Lone Wolf]

Brian Cox was tremendous in The Bourne Supremacy.I think the choice of him as Thorne,he would play the perfect mob boss.Great choice.:up:

[newwaveboy87]

thirded.

Brian Cox for rupert thorne

This is great casting.

[Ronny Shade]

Here are my responses to the issues raised in this thread:


Love James Woods, but not as Thorne.

Thorne is way cooler than Falcone or any of the other Gotham bosses.

Brian Cox is my fav person thats been mentioned so far, but I can't help thinking there's someone even better.

[Joker831]

Sorry Double Post

[Joker831]

How about Joss Ackland? I think he's a good choice for Rupert Thorne.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1090000/images/_1092466_ackland150.jpghttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/othello/whoswho/images/brabant.jpg

He was the bad guy in Lethal Weapon 2. I thought he was pretty damn good as the South African Drug Lord. His accent and smugness to the cops was awesome. Anyone else think he would be good choice?

I think Brian Cox would be excellent, but his connection with XMEN is only thing stopping me.

I wouldnt mind Bruce McGill at all either, he's awesomet too.

But Joss Ackland is who i would cast. What do you's think about him as a potential cast choice?

He was awesome in LW2. I wouldn't mind him at all.

[Ronny Shade]

Cox is an awesome enough actor that he wouldn't be playing it the same way as Striker if he was cast as Thorne. I'm ALL for Cox as Thorne.

It really is Bruce McGill without a doubt I mean look at him

Him & Brian Cox are just so perfect for me. Bruce McGill would be good as well.

What about Jeffrey Jones aka Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off as Rupert Thorne? I saw him in a movie where he was really heavyset and he looked almost exactly like Rupert Thorne.

http://www.misterbg.org/blog/images/EdRooneyMugShot.jpgJeffrey Jones (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,12115,00.html), the actor universally known as hapless, snarky high school principal Ed Rooney in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091042/) and somewhat less well known as a convicted sex offender, was busted in Florida (http://www.google.com/search?q=floriduh&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) yesterday. Jones failed to notify authorities before moving out of his mother's house and into a new residence, as required under Florida's sex offender statute. The Smoking Gun (http://thesmokinggun.com/), which is the last web site you ever want to wind up being featured on, was there (http://thesmokinggun.com/archive/0702041jones1.html), obtaining a copy of Jones's arrest card as well as the excellent mug shot to the right. Personally, I always thought that guy was a little too convincing as a high school principal...

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Strangely I see him more in Salvatore Maroni but I propose him there for Rupert Thorne : our own Doc Ock, Alfred Molina

Cox, dammit! (not that the rest of these are bad choices)

Nah, he'd make a great Maroni or Thorne but he was Doc Oc. Just like Willem Dafoe would've made a great Joker but he's Green Goblin.

[Two-Face]

I thought I bring this back, Thorne should be in sequel as a cameo.

brian Cox Damnit!.

[Ronny Shade]

Brian Cox. There is no other choice.

[bdsproductions]

Brian Cox. There is no other choice.

Now,time to spread the word.

[Ronny Shade]

Brian Cox is my fav person thats been mentioned so far, but I can't help thinking there's someone even better.
When I posted this I was thinking of some actor that I remembered thhinking would be a perfect Rupert Thorne but couldn't quite remember who he was.

Then I realized I was thinking of Brian Cox in a different movie.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Here's who I think could play Rupert:

Patrick Dennehy

Paul Sorvino

Jonathan Winters

Brian Cox could work I guess, but I've heard he's slimmed down since "The Bourne Supremacy."

[Brian2887]

Albert Finney. Dude kicks ass at everything he does.

[Eddie Dean]

Nice choice. :up:

[Assassin32]

Brian Cox is great, and I like the idea of Paul Sorvino even better. However, being the Michael Mann fan that I am, I have got to go with the very talented character actor, Bruce McGill.

[Joker831]

Brian Cox...........good choice.

Paul Sorvino.........a really good choice. He needs a another big role

Brian Dennehy......Another good Thorne

Joss Ackland..........Kickass villian (Think Lethal Weapon 2)

Bruce McGill...........Love his stuff, another good choice.

Albert Finney..........I could just see him as Thorne.

Man there as some many great potential actor's for this role but my top 3, is Joss Ackland, Paul Sorvino and Bruce McGill.

[TheJuice]

Paul Sorvino
