Surely The Rock could pull off Darkseid?

Surely Mickey Rooney could pull off Granny Goodness. Right?


Right?

 

[BH/HHH]

Physically, yes. But there is more to Darkseid than his muscles.

I think he could pull it off, people make out he's all muscle but he's more than that. I still think Black Adam is the perfect DC role for him.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Darkseid should be cgi/mo cap.

 

[Boy Scout]

Eh. I don't know. I've heard he's a decent actor, but I think we can do better than decent for Darkseid.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Darkseid should be cgi/mo cap.

Definite yes. But preferably a mixture of cgi mo-cap and prostethics.

 

[Lencho01]

The Rock as...

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

This is showing my age.... Imperiex and every story related to him are caca-poo-poo. Forgive my language.

 

[roach]

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The best thing to ever come out of SF. Evil Gleek.

 

[BH/HHH]

Imperiex was always an odd character to me, I loved him on the LOSH tv show but in the comics I just didn't care for him. He looks to similar to Darkseid too.

 

[The Guard]

I can see The Rock as Lobo easily. I seriously doubt they'd ever consider him for Luthor or John Stewart.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Imperiex was always an odd character to me, I loved him on the LOSH tv show but in the comics I just didn't care for him. He looks to similar to Darkseid too.

He's just a half assed Kirby inspired character.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Just seeing you post that pic out of nowhere put me in a writhing state of laughter.

 

[Mikelus]

I think he could pull it off, people make out he's all muscle but he's more than that. I still think Black Adam is the perfect DC role for him.

Darkseid will probably be CGI anyway, the Rock is good enough for that.

 

[roach]

You are welcome

 

[Rowsdower!]

Whoever the Rock is playing, I certainly hope this doesn't turn out to be as disappointing as the Vin Diesel/Groot announcement. When Vin talked about working with Marvel, I was really excited because the guy LOOKS like a superhero or supervillain, and there are a number of characters that I felt he'd be perfect for (Thanos and Vision were probably my top two). And then... it's announced that he's voicing a giant CGI tree man.

I'm still holding out hope that he's also been secretly cast as another character though. It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened; John Rhys-Davies and Benedict Cumberbatch have both pulled double-duty for the Tolkien movies.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

You are welcome

Indeed.

 

[roach]

It's the new year and my goal is to spread chuckles

Michigan Film Industry Prepping For Batman-Superman Movie

Grinnell went on to say that the movie will be the largest film shot in Michigan thus far, with a budget of about $131 million, surpassing the amount spent by “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” which filmed in Michigan back in 2011.

“The difference in part is ‘Oz’ did all of their filming at the studios in Pontiac,” Grinnell said. “It was a lot of green screens and set builds there. The Superman-Batman movie will be doing some of that, but they will also be doing some other on-location stuff here in the state.”

With a $131 million budget, that means the production will create hundreds of jobs for crew members and, Grinnell says, about 6,000 jobs for extras, “so it’s a great project for our talented workforce here in Michigan,” she said.

Grinnell said the production is also expected to pump millions – about $5 million in fact – into the hotel industry; not to mention the money that’ll also be spent in the state’s bars, restaurants and other businesses that the cast and crew will be patronizing.

 

[The Guard]

I always thought Imperiex would be cool for a sort of "Darkseid returns secretly" scenario.

And Groot is about Vin Diesel's speed.

 

[Marvin]

budget of $131mill?
That can't be the whole story.

 

[The Guard]

Hey, it's cheap to film in Michigan.

 

[fake]

budget of $131mill?
That can't be the whole story.

131M to be spent in Michigan, they have other filming locations as well.

 

[craigdbfan]

There's no way that budget # is right.

 

[roach]

Hey, it's cheap to film in Michigan.

it's cheap to film anywhere but California
