Ideal movie casting topic.... cuz we did it for the first game so why not....
KOTOR II would be easier to cast for a movie than KOTOR I due to all the hidden faces in the cast.
Visas Marr should be played by Kelly Hu, the actual voice actor, no problem there. she's mostly masked, so there's no issue about whether she looks right for the part, etc.! (maybe in a movie version we could see a glimpse of her without the veil?)
Kreia--we never see her whole face either. Is the voice actor available? she'd do just fine.
Mandalore should still be played by our favorite for the role of
b/c he's masked! but in the movie, there should be a scene where he's unmasked (
)
Bao Dur isn't really masked, but he's full of makeup due to his being a Zabrak, so we might as well cast the voice actor, whoever he is, depending on his physical build. If the voice actor isn't available or is too tall/short/etc.,, perhaps Cuba Gooding Jr or Levar Burton?
G0T0, and HK--same thing. MIght as well stick with the same actor who voiced them. No face! T3 doesn't require any casting unless we need somebody like Kenny Baker, but we really don't.
Hanharr--we just need somebody big and tall and who can act psycho with 2 vibroblades. Is Peter Mayhew available?
Who do we have left? Atton, Handmaiden, Mira, Disciple.
Atton- I see Zach Braff from "Scrubs" and Garden State (2004). we need somebody who can deliver witty sarcasm.
Handmaiden- basically we need someone who can pull off the short haircut and believably kick ass with hand-to-hand or weapons combat. Someone in her 20s with an American "sci-fi" accent. I'm having trouble thinking of anyone of that description....
Mira - Give Sandra Bullock a red wig and let her run with it. or somebody slightly younger?
Disciple - I have no idea. If it were up to me I'd write his character out of the movie.
my head's starting to hurt....why did i start this topic? somebody else give it a go
