Why Serkis as Nash?

 

[BlackFox]

Why Serkis as Nash?

He's a decent actor in his own right, deserves a shot at being able to do a role without all the CGi and morph suit milarky for once, just give a natural untouched performance.

 

[Eddie Dean]

But he'd get his ear cut-off. That's so mean!

[BlackFox]

But he'd get his ear cut-off. That's so mean!

Then he would be able to play both parts, the cop and the ear.

 

[BoredGuy]

hmmm, dunno how I feel about this thread
it could easily be called "Everything Wrong with Hollywood"

A lot of these films should be left untouched

some of your fancasts are pretty good tho, admittedly...
