Geekiest thread of 2013? Let's recast Star Trek Next Generation

[Silvermoth]

Let's pretend they have decided to do with Next Generation what they have done with the original series and replace all the original cast members for a big budget movie.

Who would you cast?

Of course, I'm not saying they should actually do this, it's just a bit of fun.

Commander William Riker - Jonny Lee Miller

Geordi La Forge - Anthony Mackie

Commander Worf - Who could do a better job than The Rock (plus he adds star appeal)

Doctor Beverly Crusher - Jessica Chastain

Deanna Troi - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Data - Ken'ichi Matsuyama

Wesley - Tanner Cohen

Picard - This is the hardest to recast but I reckon Mark Strong is the only one who could do it justice

 

[dude stannis]

Mark Strong as Picard is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Airwings]

Kodi Smit-McPhee for Wesley

 

[Silvermoth]

Mark Strong as Picard is the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Thanks! I was pretty worried about starting this thread without having the perfect Picard!

 

[bullets]

Found this and I agree

Tom Hiddleston as Data

Also Idris Elba as Worf.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh wow Tom Hiddleston as Data! Imagine how amazing that would be!

 

[Airwings]

tom hiddleston as data

Like

 

[Still Wynning]

Mark Strong as Jean Luc Picard, and Tom Hiddleston as Data?

If this were actual casting for a TNG movie, I would buy a ticket in a heartbeat.

 

[CapedCrusader14]

Tom Hiddleston as Data is just perfect.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Weirdly enough, one would think James McAvoy for Picard.

 

[corby]

Jason Isaacs would be a good Picard.

 

[johnrain]

Tom Hardy as Jean Luc Picard

He played the character in "Nemesis".

Samantha Bark as Counselor Troi

Garret Hedlund as William Riker

Miles Teller as Data

Jaleel White as Geordi LaForge

 

[Silvermoth]

Weirdly enough, one would think James McAvoy for Picard.

Ha! Seriously though, I don't think James would want his career to be following Patrick Stewart around picking up his leftovers.

 

[Silvermoth]

I wonder if a mod could pop this thread in the Star Trek section?

 

[SuBe]

This would be perfection.

 

[Pink Ranger]

If I suggested Jim Parsons for Data would I just get laughed out of here?

 

[Dark Raven]

Ha! Seriously though, I don't think James would want his career to be following Patrick Stewart around picking up his leftovers.

McEvoy needs to star in a remake of Conspiracy Theory, Dad Savage, The Canterville Ghost, Moby Dick, A Christmas Carol as well as in the role of Picard. He needs to redo all of Stewart's filmography.

In fact, he should change his name to James Patrick Stewart, although people might think it's more of a nod to Hollywood screen legend James Stewart than Picard.

James should start with remakes of Wild Geese II, Dune, Lifeforce and Masterminds.

Yes, that would be awesome.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jean Dujardin - Picard

Joel Edgerton - Riker

Derek Luke - La Forge

Diane Kruger - Tasha Yar

Terry Crews - Worf

Christina Hendricks - Crusher

Freida Pinto - Troi

Ben Whishaw - Data

Michael Cera - Wesley

Yvette Nicole Brown - Guinan

 

[DeGenerate10]

Patrick Stewart hasn't aged a day he could still play Picard lol

 

[Dark Raven]

I like your choice of Diane Kruger for Tasha. She has kind of a look of her, but just much hotter than Denise Crosby.

Jean Dujardin and Christina Hendricks look pretty good for Picard and Crusher too.

 

[gooti]

Ryan Cartwright as Data
(or Reg Barclay )

 

[Chief_Gregg]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Jean Dujardin
Commander William T. Riker: Joshua Jackson.
Geordi LaForge: Donald Glover
Data/Noonien Song: Lee Pace
Beverly Crusher: Michelle Monaghan
Worf: Isaiah Mustafa
Deana Troi- Elsa Pataky
Tasha Yar- Kristanna Loken

 

[Pink Ranger]

Christina Hendricks - Crusher

Holy crap, would Wesley have a complex growing up!

In any event, I don't think Starfleet has invented a uniform that can contain her.
