Casting the DC Universe

[Lobo]

David Boreanaz as Hawkman if the proposed movie ever happens

 

[Webhead2006]

he could be good.

Green Arrow/Oliver Queen: Alexander Skarsgard

 

[The_Mighty_Thor]

I always wanted him for Thor but since he's not going to be he could work as Ollie.

He would have been a great Thor, but since he didn't get cast in the role I want to take advantage of that and get him in a DC movie. I was bouncing back and forth between Skarsgard as Green Arrow or Aquaman, and I decided that his personality better suits Green Arrow and GA is just the better character in my mind.

In addition to Skarsgard playing Ollie, I would like to see Edward Zwick direct a Green Arrow movie with the script being a mixture of Green Arrow: Year One, Longbow Hunters, and the social themes of the Neil Adams-era. If done right, it could be some pretty powerful stuff and garner critical aclaim for yet another DC comic book movie.

My first part of casting, more to come...​

Good cast,but Jon Hamm IS Batman.By the way,who would you guys cast as the Neal Adam's love god/Grant Morrison's Batgod version of Batman?

 

[Webhead2006]

yea it would be nice if they could get alexander for a character. i agree with you guys he would probably be best suited for ollie or aquaman. But it counts on what take on either of the characters they were to use. Cause for both there is tons of good folks to pick from on different eras of the character.

 

[NotFadeAway]

Another thing about Green Arrow. If Skarsgard doesn't play the part, which he likely won't, I would make an alteration to the character that would piss off some die hard fanboys and is going to get me flamed. And that is, Ollie wouldn't be blonde or have an actual beard. I know suspension of disbelief comes with the territoy, but Ollie takes that to far. So I would have the blonde beard as part of the GA costume as a way to throw people off about Ollie being GA so he doesn't get exposed because of his brown hair.

Listen, Ollie walking around with a blonde beard and blonde hair would easily expose him as GA, no one can be that stupid, not even Lois Lane with Superman/Clark Kent.

As an independent film maker I was always hoping to make it big some day and make a big budget comic book movie. After Thor(which is already being made) I would have choosen Green Arrow to do. I always pictured it as a trilogy though. An origin movie first and maybe introduce Black Canary, Develop their relationship in the second and an almost panel by panel recreation of Mike Grells Longbow Hunters for the third! I would love to use Skarsgard for Ollie, Yvonne Strahovski for Dinah and either Grace Park or Michelle Krusiec for Shado!

As an aspiring film writer/producer(I think I'd suck as a director, I want to write the scripts and then find the cast and crew to make it happen), my top three dream projects as far as comic book characters go are Superman, a Wally West oriented Flash film, and Green Arrow. I like to fancy myself as the savior of DC comic book movies. It's funny though, Superman is my favorite comic book character and I know what I think should be, but I don't know if I'd be the right guy to make it happen. My creative senses, the way I write, the two different tones that I go for, it's geared toward either a Wally West flick or Green Arrow. Those two characters fit this fanboy like a glove. In real life, out of all the comic book characters I see myself the most in Wally West, I AM Wally West to a degree. And with the Green Arrow, I love the themes and messages that go with the character. The modern day robin hood, a bad ass crusader that stands up to social injustice in defense of those who can't, the gritty world GA exists in. Green Arrow is a true champion of the people and for the people. I hate when Green Arrow gets called a Batman clone. And I believe in what Green Arrow believes in, that social and political injustice should not be tolerated, that the weak and needy shouldn't be stepped on or spat on by life. Whats strange is I'm very socially conscious, but I'm fiscally conservative/ I suppose thats what makes me an advocate of finding a third political party.

On a casting note, I'm not sure who I want for Dinah. Thats always been a toughie for some reason. I do know that in addition to Skarsgard as Ollie, I'd cast Scout Taylor-Compton as Mia Dearden, and I've always pictured a younger Dominic Monoghan as Roy Harper. Probably the whole heroin addict thing. Anyway, I've always approached Green Arrow as a television series first. My creative side always thinks television first. There would be six seasons and they would essentially form two different chapters. The first three seasons would be grounded in gritty reality, almost like the Nolan Batman films except if darker and more violent. But, I would leave hints of fantasy/sci-fi/comic book-esque happenings in the world around my Green Arrow. Just subtle eyebrow raising instances that come and go quickly. And then, in the second set of three seasons, I would go full force with the fanatical comic book element. If you watch Lost, it would be similiar with the first few seasons being realistic and mysterious, but it went full blown fanatical the last few seasons. And with Dinah, I'd keep her out of the first half of the series, she would only be there for the fanatical second half.

In addition to the comic book properties that I would want, the signature says it all. I'd like to make a film of television show about World War 1, The Korean War, The War of 1812, and Francis Marion. I would also like to create a film or tv show about the rise of a Third Party in the United States, two original horror/slasher films with one being set in colonial America, and my personal baby, a comedy currently titled "In Good Taste" which is subject to change. My goal is to create the most offensive, inappropriate, apauling, figurativelly grotesque movie ever made using real life stories with a few spins and alterations. Thats my baby, and my other baby is a television show I have in the back of my head that would be titled "The Ville", a dramedy based on life in my home town of Zanesville, Ohio.

[Webhead2006]

[cin0]

I want to be an actor but i gotta learn how to act first. one of yall can hit me up if u ever to a movie foreal.lol

 

[Webhead2006]

i done a few production jobs on a few low budget films myself. which were very fun.

Who knows, maybe we will put together the best damn comic book movie ever one day.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea never know. its a dream type of film to work on. i am hoping in the near future to move out of my home area since there isnt much work in tv/film here and get to a bigger city with better chances. But any film work i get to do here in my area is still good cause it gives me more experience and stuff for my resume.

 

[The_Mighty_Thor]

As an aspiring film writer/producer(I think I'd suck as a director, I want to write the scripts and then find the cast and crew to make it happen).

Well mister producer go find us some financing or a studion to back my GA trilogy and I'll win us a peoples choice award (cause sadly that seems to be the only type of award these films get considered for, unless someone dies). We can let Webs on as a PA assistant for his resume and Cino can audition. At the very least he can be an extra that gets killed in the first supervillian attack!

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

I don't know what it is but Henry Cavill's face just makes me want to punch it.
And no can't see him as Bruce or Batman

 

[Webhead2006]

i can do camera work too.

 

[Nightwing 52]

David Boreanaz as Hawkman if the proposed movie ever happens

Boreanaz would be good for Hawkman. He's great in Bones.

 

[Matt.S99]

The chemistry between Deschanel and Boreanaz is quite possibly the best chemistry I've ever seen on screen.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Yeah, they click so well together.

 

[Lobo]

Bones is a great show, I've been trying to think of a comic role for Emily Deschanel, but cannot find one that is quite right yet

 

[Matt.S99]

She's not really the comic book role type IMO. Not every actor has to fit a comic role.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Come to think of it I can't picture her in a superheroine type role either. There might be a character out there for her, but I can't think of anyone.
