OH and did I mention...for Keldor/Skeletor...Willem Dafoe???? Just look at him in Spidey 1! Perfect voice..build...ability...and he's got the facial bone structure to be skeletor. Brilliant...on my part I think. But I have been mulling around with casting a lot as of late. Look at my first post on this board and see what you think superkong.
well first I think liam neeson would be perfect for king randor, as for the queen maybe cate blanchet or other known actress, the thing is that theres no room for all those characters you posted, we most get the best the most important, and the ones that can be translated to screen, okay man-at-arms well, remember that we are in a time that fantasy films are on the top of their game, and that for this kind of epic fantasy movie, we need people that can act and that are suited for this kind of stories, and not everyone is, okay as I was saying for duncan I think we most change his outfit, into a more medieval armor, of course with the bracelet blaster, but get rid of the silly helmet, give him a more detailed simetric better shaped helmet, with eternian motives engraved on it, but he needs to be the general of the royal guard and of the eternian army, so his helmet will have his superior rank engraved in it, and some golden lines, that the soldiers or other officers wont have, that will distinguish him, okay he most have a sword, a real metal not the lightsword he uses on the series, this is not SW you know, okay for him we need an autoritarian person I think his character as all of them needs an up-date, I think he should be more serious, and not be the guy that orko ridicules all the time,
he needs to be the guy that trains adam in sword-skills and the art of hand-to hand combat, so for him I will say cast an unknown newzealander or aussie actor, in his early 50's, with a strong masculine presence. Okay teela, shes a mayor character so no drama queens here please, but in the other hand I think theres a bit of that glamour needed (and a lot of grace0 so I would go with misha barton
and well shes beautifull, and I think she can play the role, both physically and psicologicaly, just put ten more pounds on her but there are others that can play the role as well, as for skeletor, we need a good actor but one that is built also , not body builder wrestler built, but buffed , he will probably should eventually use a muscle prostetic suit, with nails and everything. beast man, for him use sala baker who played orks urukhai and sauron in LOTR, again full body suit with sculpted musles and prostetics fur nails/ claws lens ,fangs, nose the whole package, merman, the same thing use a stunt double who can act with his body well , and half prostetics have cgi, face and fins could be cg, and the big fish eyes too, but change his look to one more badass and monstrous, instead of the old fish look, you know what I mean, trap jaw well also half prostetic half cgi his mechanical leg green covered to later add cgi work on it, the ahnd can be a prostetic with some cg, his face however is more difficult prostetic from mouth up full cgi from mouth down all metal texture cgi, specially when he speaks, it could look really cool, for the bad guys thats enough I think, they are the mayor baddies, but we also need an army, of henchmen, make them like orcs, btu not a ripoff, make them with humanoid ears but horrible faces with scars, and kinda mutated, they could be created by skeeltor using his magic, they could live in caves until skeletor calls upon them to destroy the eternians and make them slaves. so this disgusting creatures could be built, muscualr like urukhais but with well grey sticky skin sweaty, dirty, rusty armor, some with green skin like putrid, lots of scars, carriyng huge spiked weapons and axes. what a battle could we ahve by the end of the movie, battle cat all cgi have weta do the prostetics, swords guns, creatures enviroments miniatures, royal palace, grey skull castle, snake mountain imagine that all made by weta, pure beauty, final battle in front of castle greyskull, okay got carried a way a bit, but thats what and how it should be done IMO, okay skeletor, as i said before muscle body suit, long cloak dark purple almost black, skull like the one in the new series, btu with meaner eye sockets, and with eyes, green eyes that would shine in the dark almost florescent. believe me the way I imagine this it would look super spectacular,
he-man, oh next post Iam tired know but he also needs a little up-date look of course you will be able to easily tell who he is, just a little twitching here and there. what do you think MOTU freak.
