Casting Ideas For A "Defenders of The Earth" film.

[rogue trooper]

Here's mine:

Flash Gordon: Thomas Jane

The Phantom: Gerard Butler

Mandrake: Ioan Gruffudd

Lothar: Dijmon Honsou

Ming The Merciless: Hugo Weaving

....I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to cast the kids right now.

 

[TheVileOne]

Billy Zane for The Phantom since he already played the character. Plus he's older in this one anyway . . . even though it's a different Kit Walker.

 

[ChickenScratch]

I'm with you man, keep Billy. He can play kit in any time period since it's father and son right. Plus having him a bit older now will work well with the daughter.

does this film need the kids in it as well, it may be the huge downfall for the whole thing...

it also needs some adult female pootang

Buncha single dads with no women living in a mountain, seems kinda creepy to me too. No wonder Phantom decided to live in Bengala and just visit when needed.

Oh, and by the way, The Phantom's a great character and there needs to be some concerted effort to push him back to the forefront.

I don't know if she appeared in the series, but it would be nice if Ming's feisty daughter, Aura, showed up.

Isn't there currently a film for Mandrake the Magician in development?

Well Flash Gordon is only single in the series because Meng murdered his wife at the beginning of the show.

And damn Rogue Trooper, why do you have to remind us of that horrifically bad Sci-Fi channel show with cheap ass production values, crappy acting, and not much else?

.....I guess cause she looked the most contemporary, if nothing else. But here's this to make up for that:
