who would you cast as sofia gigante falcone

[BatmanReborn]

considering the sequel will be heavily based upon the long halloween, if by any chance sofia gigante falcone made it into the sequel, who would you cast to play a role like that.
Ive been putting together a casting choice page, here is the link
Batman 2 Cast (http://www.unitedenvironment.com/Batman2.htm)
but i cannot come up with a choice for her

[Matis17]

A big ugly woman.

[BatmanReborn]

ya, i thought that to, but what big ugly woman

[Two-Face]

Michael Caine name is there is a "e" at the end.

To topic, I thought she was already cast in Begins? where she says "Hey Joe, Falcone says hi" then bang she shoots Chill.

[kytrigger]

I didn't realize that was her. I thought that was just some random lady sent to kill Chill. When thinking of big ugly women that can act, I think of Joan Cusack.

[Two-Face]

Great choices The Night but Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) as Maroni and Brian Cox as Thorne.

thanks, but I think brian cox being in X-men kinda rules him out, but I like ray liotta I think he would be very good int he role!

[Two-Face]

Ouch! I forgot that he was in X-Men!

[The-Night]

Ouch! I forgot that he was in X-Men!

yeah too bad too, he was the first person I could thought of for Thorne, but bruce Mcgill looks alot more like him and he's quite an actor

[Two-Face]

What about Joe Pesci as Penguin?

[The-Night]

What about Joe Pesci as Penguin?

You know I could really see that but I think Phillip Seymore Hoffman would be spectacular!

I know the obvious chocie would be Bob Hoskins, but Hoffman would an ideal choice to the franchise!

[Two-Face]

I doubt he will do it since Penguin would be small cameo or they have to give PSH bigger part.

[The-Night]

I doubt he will do it since Penguin would be small cameo or they have to give PSH bigger part.

that's what i thought, but if Morgan Freeman can be on screen for a total of about 10 min then so can hoffman! Besides it's perfect for him, he won't have to be there for more than a week tops and then he can move on and I mean it's Christoper Nolan for pete's sake!

If PHS gets cast as Penguin then I would be happy but Joe Pesci or Bob Hoskins would great too!

[The-Night]

I think Joe Pesci would be an unusal chocie that's why I would love it, but I don't think he can pull off the british accent!!!

[Two-Face]

Yes but since when Penguin was a Brit?

[The-Night]

Yes but since when Penguin was a Brit?

he's rumored to be a British arms dealer if he shows up in the sequel!

[Leto Atrides]

Yes but since when Penguin was a Brit?
IMO, it fits his character to affect an upper-class British accent to sound refined, even if his character is American.

Then Bob Hoskins would be great choice.

[The-Night]

Then Bob Hoskins would be great choice.

Yeah, Bob Hoskins is the fan fave, but I heard he's up for Maroni which does not make snese since the guy looks exactly like classic Penguin just add the prostetic nose and BOOM!!!!!!!

[Two-Face]

I watched "Micheal" on TV today and he seems he could play the "Boss Maroni" part but his height is the problem, I hope Nolan gets Ray Liotta as Maroni and Bob Hoskins.

Hoskins for Penguin, but I'm telling you man.....

[StorminNorman]

Cobblepot: Philip Seymore Hoffman
Maroni: Ray Liotta
Cox: Paul Sorvino
http://www.romeoandjuliet.com/players/images/castcap.jpg

[wikum]

chyna lol

[BatmanReborn]

wow, i never thought of that, she cant act though

[Two-Face]

How? it's only small role.

[The Chairman]

Cobblepot: Philip Seymore Hoffman
Maroni: Ray Liotta
Cox: Paul Sorvino
http://www.romeoandjuliet.com/players/images/castcap.jpg

Yes to Maroni and Thorne, but I'm still iffy on Hoffman as Cobblepot. I'd rather it be Robin Williams or Bob Hoskins.

As for Sophia, it's not that big a part. Maybe Catherine Zeta Jones or Monica Bellucci can do it if they put some muscle on.

BTWE I actually do have my own cast for TLH if they ever make it into a movie. I can post it if you want.

[mike blub]

what about lorraine bracco (the sopranos, goodfellas) for sofia falcone? usually i don't find her especially homely or big, but i did catch an episode of "law and order" where she fit the bill nicely. plus she's a great actress...

[StorminNorman]

Catherine Zeta Jones for Sophia? Thats an insult :D

[explode7]

^She would make a good Wonder Woman though.

[Mr. Socko]

Big, ugly, woman that can act....



Queen Latifa

[The Chairman]

Big, ugly, woman that can act....

Kathy Bates.

[StorminNorman]

Big, ugly, woman that can act....



Queen Latifa

Queen Latifa can act?

[The Chairman]

Queen Latifa can act?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

[Leto Atrides]

Queen Latifa can act?

If you ask the Academy she can. I'm not sure I agree though.

[Mr. Socko]

Queen Latifa can act?

Enough to be Sofia....

But the big and ugly part is what really matters.

[explode7]

Queen Latifa can act?

NO! But she has that black comedic personality about her that most people like I guess.

[Mr. Socko]

Enough to be Sofia....

But the big and ugly part is what really matters.

Sometimes I just kill myself:)

[Katsuro]

Queen Latifa as the daugther of Tom Wilkenson?

Besides, Sofia Gigante isn't just ugly, but she's rather mean and tough looking. I'll tell you the kind of person we need for Sofia Gigante. Have any of you seen that commercial on Comedy Central for the Carlos Mencia show, where he's like "hey bro, you dropped your keys" and the guy turns around and it's actually a really butch woman, and she's like "who you callin' bro, b****h?" Yeah, that's who we need, or someone like that.

[Mr. Socko]

No, but I was joking about Latifa

How about the big ugly woman on Mr. Deeds who worked with him in the shop...No nvm, she was just fat.

Doh

[explode7]

She would make a grea JLU member.

[Mr. Socko]

Who? Sofia

[explode7]

No Queen.

[Nightwing]

For Sofia, Nia Vardalos comes to mind.

[Ronny Shade]

In response to the Ruper Thorne casting activity on the first page:

Brain Cox is as obvious a choice for Rupert Thorne as Patrick Stewart was for Professor X.

[Mr. Socko]

I say Edge from wwe should play Sofia

[Nightwing]

Brian Cox would absolutely own as Thorne, I agree with this post.

[The-Night]

Brian Cox would absolutely own as Thorne, I agree with this post.

Brian Cox would be great but he was already in X-Men so that pretty muchs rules him out I mean he was the main villian in X-2

[Nightwing]

True, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having him play a comic book character again. Cox isn't the only actor I favor as Thorne though.

[The Chairman]

Paul Sorvino for Thorne!

[The-Night]

I'm telling you fellows this could work

Albert Finney.

[The Chairman]

Nice, I could see that.

As for Maroni:

http://thehollywoodnews.com/images3/revolver-RAY_Liotta2.jpghttp://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1811/maroni5xg.jpg

Perfection.

[Ronny Shade]

Brian Cox is a good enough actor that he can play the part differently than he played Striker. And Thorne is not such a huge character that it will matter that much for.

Plus X-Men was Marvel. Batman is DC. So it's kosher.

[Nightwing]

Nice, I could see that.

As for Maroni:

http://thehollywoodnews.com/images3/revolver-RAY_Liotta2.jpghttp://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1811/maroni5xg.jpg

Perfection.

I always imagined if Maroni was in the sequel we'd see that scene involving him like in TLH, and it'd be close to the encounter with Flass in Begins.

http://www.vacuumboy9.com/tlh/3p11.jpg

Ray Liotta would be well suited for a role like this, but I also feel like there are other actors who could play him very well. Do you have any second choices?

Ed Harris, but he's a very distant second.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

How bout that lady from the PRACTICE? She seems fat enough....and ugly enough.

[Nightwing]

Ed Harris, but he's a very distant second.

I like your choice of Liotta better then Harris.

How bout that lady from the PRACTICE? She seems fat enough....and ugly enough.

You mean, Camryn Manheim?

[StorminNorman]

Brilliant!

[BatmanReborn]

who is she, I like the idea of the one from big fat greek wedding, but this girl from the practice is pretty large

[Eddie Dean]

I agree 100%
As do I.

[Super_Ludacris]

I wouldnt be suprised if Sofia Gigante if shown in the film is different than the comic physically like Dectective Flass or Alfred.

[Ronny Shade]

I don't even think the character is necessary. It'll just crowd things even more.

[Mr. Socko]

She could have a small cameo and if not then just a mention

[Leto Atrides]

Yeah, I'd rather they just mention "Sofia" than change her around like they did with Carmine (or Ra's for that matter :().

[StorminNorman]

I dont think Sofia will be mentioned at all in the movie - after all, Falcone's empire is gone. Maroni or Thorne (or Cobblepot or Blackmask) would have taken over by now, IMO.

[The-Night]

Nice, I could see that.

As for Maroni:

http://thehollywoodnews.com/images3/revolver-RAY_Liotta2.jpghttp://img142.imageshack.us/img142/1811/maroni5xg.jpg

Perfection.

I have to admit that's pretty darn good!!!!!!!!

[Ronny Shade]

Am I the only one who thinks Sal Maroni should be pushing 70?

[The Chairman]

I have to admit that's pretty darn good!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Am I the only one who thinks Sal Maroni should be pushing 70?

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think so. He only looks to be in his late 50s', early 60s' in TLH.

[The-Night]

Am I the only one who thinks Sal Maroni should be pushing 70?

Late 40's early 50's

[The Chairman]

Late 40's early 50's

Agreed.

I'm used to MotP Sal Maroni. He's old.

thats sal valestra

[Mr. Socko]

Ol Sal the Wheezer from MOTP that Joker killed?

[Ronny Shade]

Oh damn. You're right. I feel dumb.

Okay, Liotta then (Eventhough I'm not a big Liotta fan, he's probably good for it)
