The Dark Knight Rises Official Penguin Casting Thread

[Ronny Shade]

Philip Seymour Hoffman would be perfect.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Eddie Valiant.

That's Harold Shand...

 

[James Bond 007]

Philip Seymour Hoffman, or Bob Hoskins

 

[Fisher02]

Danny DeVito or Joe Pesci

 

[Jplaya2023]

Easily it should be danny devito

 

[Fisher02]

To be honest, I cant imagine anyone else in the role. Danny was and is Penguin to me. I hope they find a right man to fill up his shoes.

Why choosing a 5ft5 actor to be the Penguin when you can have a 6ft2 star and spend millions in visual FX to make him smaller?

i dont want a tall person casted,my choice is hoskins who is small,im just saying they can make him look smaller but i agree,why was all that money?

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Bob Hoskins, Timothy Spall, or Alfred Molina----those are my Penguin picks.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

if you want short how about, Danny Woodburn

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Toby Jones (who is a better Capote than Hoffman in Infamous), Timothy Spall or Ricky Gervais.

 

[Batman jr.]

Robin Williams
Philip Seymour Hoffman

 

[Invisiboy]

I used to be for Robin Williams, and then Jon Lovitz, but now I can't get the image of Joe Pesci as Pengy out of my head. He's got the right physique, a bird-like voice, plus he's played a lot of gangster roles before. Christopher Nolan, I hope you're reading!

Forced perspective is considerable cheaper than that. Elf, Lord of the Rings, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind - some varying prop sizes, some different placements in front of the camera . . . it's easier than it sounds.




The Best Picks:


Paul Giamatti (The Illusionist):

Timothy Spall (Prisoner of Azkaban):

Robin Williams (Insomnia):

Bob Hoskins (Hollywoodland):

Toby Jones (Infamous):

Lee Arenberg (Pirates of the Caribbean):

and my personal pick



Eddie Izzard (Mystery Men):

 

[rogue trooper]

Didn't Nolan already denied that The Penguin wouldn't be in this film?

 

[Brian2887]

It's Hollywood. All smoke and mirrors. Nothing's official until its on the screen. . or not.

 

[David Rice]

What about Iam Holm?

 

[Mr. Cobblepot]

Now that Philip Seymour Hoffman is no longer a possibility, I must pledge my support to Bob Hoskins for the role. Especially if Nolan decides to go the route of "gentleman of crime", which I believe is the case due to the British arms dealer rumors. Though I must admit that Timothy Spall would also be a great choice.

Ian McShane FTW t:

 

[killingyouguy]

KYG

 

[Apollo]

bob hoskins will be great

 

[chamber-music]

Bob Hoskins

 

[Spider-Fan83]

how about, Jon Polito

 

[Matt.S99]

i think ian would be good,but imo he doesnt have the facial features that I want for penguin

 

[Mr. Socko]

I doubt Penguin will even be in this movie.

 

[The Shredder]

I doubt Penguin will even be in this movie.

Unfortunately that is likely the case.

But if he was, Bob Hoskins would definately get my vote for Oswald.
