Worst possible casting choices - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 06-01-2006, 04:50 PM

We've all seen threads of the "fantasy cast" for the movies, or for the Silmarillion...etc. But what about the worst possible choices for actors in the movies? I'm putting this in the Mirth thread, because I think it would fit best here, and it's intended to have more light-hearted/fun with it.

So, for me some things I thought of is Al Pacino as Saruman. I mean I can just imagine when Saruman casts the fireball at Gandalf Pacino saying "Say 'ello to my lil fren'."

And Keeanu Reeves casted as any of the male roles would be bad too. Just because he is one of the worst actors I've ever had the displeasure of seeing in the movies. He isn't the worst actor I've seen but, he's definitely one of them.

Plus I don't think Jack Black would make a good Gimli.

Anyway, what are some of your choices as far as who would you not choose to cast as a role in the movies.

Valier · 06-01-2006, 05:01 PM

How about William Shatner as Gandalf....Just picture him on the edge of the bridge yelling..:You...Shall not....pass!" with all his famous pauses and poses. Freaking Hilarious!

Lalwendë · 06-01-2006, 05:11 PM

John Prescott as Boromir? Thrashing through the woods with his fists held aloft? Or would he make a good Bullroarer Took with his croquet skills? Perhaps that piece of casting is too good.

Tony Blair could be Aragorn and play him in a whining, wounded kind of style, while George Bush could be Gandalf, who Aragorn looks up to, so it would reflect real life. David Cameron could be Gimli, the political dwarf. And Anne Widdecombe could be a particularly frightening Galadriel

Boromir88 · 06-02-2006, 04:57 AM

Valier, you just reminded me on Family Guy when they made fun of Star Trek..."Straight ahead....Mr....Suluu."

Diamond that was a stroke of genius.

Gary Cole as Elrond.... "Oh Frodo, did you get the memo? Ya, you're going to need to destroy the ring by Tuesday...that would be gre-a-t. And I'll just get you another copy of that memo, r-i-ght."

ninja91 · 06-02-2006, 05:21 AM

Marilyn Manson as Frodo: He would have looked completely out of place in the Shire!

Oddwen · 06-02-2006, 11:28 AM

I'd pay to see Dane Cook as the minstrel of Gondor.

"HELLOOOO, FIELD OF CORMALLEN! This is my show, I'm on the drum in the deep! I'm on the drum! By a round of applause, how do you feel? Huh? So, how about this Frodo dude, huh? He got a Ring of power...man, I want a Ring of power! I want that! I'd put it on and be all invisible, and spy out all the la-dies, ya know, and I'd sneak up behind people and PWAM! *throws himself across the stage* And I'd walkaround going "Preciousssssssssssssssssss!! Precioussssssssss!" Yeah, I want a Ring of power! GANDALF, GIMMIE YOUR RING!" *He snatches it from Gandalf, rips his shirt off and runs screaming off the stage*

That would be hilarious.

Tom Hanks as Saruman
Jim Carrey as the Mouth of Sauron

Truly, I wish nothing more than a cameo as Diamond. You know, at the end, at Sam's wedding, you all know that's Diamond Pip's grinning at!

*this moment of squeeing Pippin fangirlism brought to you by too many chocolate chip cookies*

Mithalwen those pictures are just horrifying. And hilarious. I particularly liked the duos of Merry & Pippin and Boromir & Faramir. Galadriel is the funniest. After clicking on the Gollum link I must go gouge out my eyes.

Well of course I know who the Governator is, who can not know him?

And Roy Kinnear was Planchet in several Musketeer movies...don't know exactly which ones there are so many of them and all these spinoffs.

Everyone else I really have no clue, but the Aragorn guy looks familiar...so far can't pin him down.

06-04-2006, 10:15 PM

How about Sean Connery as Saruman and Gandalf? "We should join with him my freind." "When did Sharuman the wise abandon reson for madness?"- Freaking hilarious. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Yes - and then Gandalf would make jokes about Sharuman's mother, and then say "The day ish mine, Shauron! Haw haw haw haw!"

That would be funny.

Well done .... Roy Kinnear was such a wonderful actor that I feel a bit mean using him but he is very un-Sarumany. He would have been a perfect Ted Sandyman type - shifty but not exactly evil ....

Thanks Lal : I do seem to have revealed my affection for the "Carry on Films" ... just wih I had fitted Sid James in somewhere ... Guess he should be Celeborn to Babs's Galadriel.... I would point out that no particular affection attaches to the Chuckle Brothers...

As a side note, Richard O'Callaghan, who played Merry, in the Radio series, had roles in a couple of Carry Ons!!!! I do try not to think of that when I listen, since he ain't at all bad with a much more "bookish" approach to the role, but it may have caused this linkage...

But surely the eternal Carry On triangle has a place in LotR, with Sid James at the centre:

Sid James: Aragorn
Joan Sims: Arwen

In this scenario, Hattie Jacques would be Galadriel, and Kenneth Williams Celeborn.

Actually, Verne Troyer aka Mini-Me would make a perfect Frodo.

I'm going to have to agree with Oddwen on this one..... Sean Connery could be Gandalf, and Will Ferrell could be Saruman.
Gandalf: You'll rue the day you crosshed me, Sharuman!
Saruman: .... Right.
Gandalf: One day it'll be my turn, Sharuman!
Saruman: I hate you. *sends Gandalf spinning toward the ceiling*
Later, in Rohan
Gandalf: (to Sarutheodenman) The day ish mine, Sharuman!
Saruman: That's it. I'm going to go home and put a gun in my mouth.
Gandalf: HAW HAW HAW HAW!!!

And picture Ritchie wearing a robe, heading the Council. "The ring must be destroyed! Either that or taste the wrath of my Stratocaster!"

Eomer: Oh? Whereabouts? Legolas: Hereabouts. Gimli: At ten o'clock. Aragorn: Or thereabouts. Legolas: In this vicinity. Aragorn: Or roundabouts. Legolas: We're the Three Hunters. Eomer: Or layabouts.

[Hands Merry a leaf of Kingsfoil] Aragorn: There you are, get it down now. Gandalf: Other end, Aragorn. [Aragorn looks ashamed] Gandalf: Never mind.
