Cast the Pulps

[OwlBoy]

Just like the title says, pick an actor to portray your favorite two-fisted mysery man:

Jon Hamm as the Shadow
Josh Hartnett as the Rocketeer
Bruce Willis as Doc Savage
Nestor Carbonell as Zorro
Kevin McKidd as Tarzan
Ken Watanabe as Fu Manchu
Matthew Fox as The Phantom

I see Matthew Fox thrown in to so many roles, The Phantom has been the only one I can actually see him in.

Jeffery Donovan for The Shadow

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

The Rocketeer isn't exactly a pulp hero.
And Doc Savage shouldn't be like the perfect man?

 

[rogue trooper]

The Rocketeer isn't exactly a pulp hero.

...and neither is The Phantom. He is a comic strip character like Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Dick Tracy, and Prince Valiant.

 

[cerealkiller182]

But they are all inspired by and/or share traits of pulp heroes.

...speaking of more pulp characters:

John Carter

Conan The Cimmerian

Solomon Kane

Kull

 

[cerealkiller182]

they are already doing Solomon Kane. Looks promising

 

[rogue trooper]

...they're taking too long in releasing a trailer.

 

[cerealkiller182]

its never short enough when it comes to fanboys though

If its X-Files scenario than I'll agree

 

[tyler-durden]

Matthew Fox as The Phantom and Josh Hartnett as the Rocketeer are perfect choices

 

[OwlBoy]

Thank you. In the Doc Savage thread people said I was crazy for liking Bruce Willis as Doc and I agree. He has the voice but he's far too old to play the character now.

What do you guys think about Eric Dane?

 

[cerealkiller182]

I was thinking Eric Dane but I had recently said he would make a good Captain America too and didnt want to start throwing his name around like Depp and Jolie, but yeah, I think he woul dbe great

 

[tyler-durden]

Eric Dane seems like a decent choice

 

[The Shadow]

Jon Hamm or Hugh Jackman as the Shadow
