I was thinking of this after seeing the second Fantastic Four movie, and have been wanting to do a thread like this for awhile (if I haven't already done one) so here it is. This is your chance to recast movies that have been made so here are just a few ideas I would do for films:
Fantastic Four
The problem: Not so much the cast (which could use some tweaking) but the director. If a Fantastic Four movie is going to succede it needs someone other than Tim Story in the director's chair.
The Director: Brad Bird
Why: He's already done a Fantastic Four type film with The Incredibles, which I hear is pretty good. Just imagine what he would do with the real Fantastic Four.
The cast:
Michael Chiklis-The Thing
Chris Evans- The Human Torch
Kerry Washington- Alicia Masters
Why am I retaining these three: First off Chiklis was made for the Thing, and I honestly couldn't think of anyone else in the role. Evans did a good job as the Human Torch, so I'm keeping him. Also Kerry Washington was decent so she's staying.
Now comes the hard part what is probably the holy trinity of a Fantastic Four movie, and what the pre-existing movies failed at. So I just hope I come close with my choices:
Sacha Baron Cohen- Doctor Doom
Why Cohen? First off he can actually do a European accent as shown by his Bruno character on Da Ali G Show, second of all he gets into his characters, and thirdly he has a certain charm about him. I imagine a method actor such as Cohen would do really well in a role such as Doom.
David Tennant- Mr. Fantastic
Why Tennant? First of all he's the same age as Sacha Baron Cohen so you could see these two as rivals in a lab, and second of all Tennant has played a similar character to this as the ninth Doctor. Sure Mr. Fantastic isn't as bombastic as the Ninth Doctor but he is a little absent minded. I think a performance a bit on the dry side would work really well for Mr. Fantastic.
Sophia Myles- Invisible Woman
Why Myles? She certainly has chemistry with Tennant considering her appearance on Doctor Who, and that her and Tennant dated for two years following that. My only concern is that she doesn't have the motherly instinct or look that somebody older would have. I'm affraid she would just be another pretty face.
So that's just one of the films I would recast. Agree? Disagree? Have your own films you would like to recast? Post them here! I'll have some more films I would like to recast later.
