Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release)

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Actually you make a good point Riceball. The OT had Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing. In the PT though I thought the prominent actors they had in there were misplaced. Liam Neeson (he wasn't bad, but he was Liam Neeson), SLJ, Smitts...

Exception being Ewan McGregor but although certainly known I wouldn't call him "famous" in 1999.

I hope they get Emma Watson to play someone in one of these new 3 movies. She's one of the best new young actors out there right now.

I actually could live with that.

there are some A-listers that can blend in and become the character. Daniel Day Lewis as a Sith Lord... wow! Anthony Hopkins as a crime Lord... why not... but there are those like Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, brad pitt, george clooney and gawd forbid Nicolas Cage that I don't want near Star Wars with a 1000000 force pike pole!

While I agree that overall Tom Cruise is the same in just about every movie he's in but there are occasions where you actually see him act and not recognize him as Tom Cruise. It's only in those movies where he's cast against type and not playing the big action hero like in Tropic Thunder.

Speaking of Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey jr. could potentially be one of those rare A list actors that you could cast in Ep. VII - IX and really see him doing well in the role and not just play himself. Charlize Theron would be another A list actor that could do a good job, she always delivers and she's never the same in any role.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

My idea:

Mark Hamil returns as Luke teaching a new group of Jedi.

Michael Fassbender ..... Return of the Sith. (I'd also take Benedict Cumberbatch even though he is already in the new Star Trek movie.)

Brad Dourif - Sith Lord

Nicholas Hoult (Jack the Giant Slayer) one of Mark Hamil's new students.

Emma Watson - another Jedi apprentice, possible love interest (She can flat out act!)

Peter Dinklage - Jawa/Yoda/astromech droid ..... just kidding, lol

Is it true DiCaprio was up for the role of Anakin in the prequels? Would haved loved scenes with Ewan vs Leo.

I'm not sure that was ever official but I do recall rumors and fan made posters with him as Anakin and I thought he would have been great! not to mention he actually looked like an older Jake Lloyd and even a young Sebastian Shaw. There certainly would have been real chemistry between Dicaprio and Portman. oh what could have been.... oh well.

Actually, morphing the face of Jake Lloyd and Sebastian Shaw created a very close likeness to Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh how I wish I'd saved the three picture demonstration presented back before ep2.

What I heard - could be wild fan rumor - was that Leo was attached to something else and therefore couldn't do it.
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

the thing about Dicaprio is he would have had the balls to ask George if he could change some of the dialog or the approach... The banter between him/Padme' and Kenobi probably would have been more heart felt as he would have dug deeper into the character's angst and pain. .... but anyway. :behave
 
Re: Star Wars Episode VII

No, no, no. You guys are going about this all wrong.

What we need are more SPORTS stars in the movies.

LeBron, for example. And T.O. And A-Rod. They can form a group of Sith warriors who use a light-basketball, a light-football, and a light-bat to slaughter Jedi. And catchphrases. They need catchphrases too. I'm thinking A-rod's can be "It's outta there!!"

And they need a sidekick. Some adorable moppet who's so cute you just want to punch him. Like that kid from Jerry Maguire before he got older and started doing coke and making pornos. In fact, let's do that. Let's get a kid who just spouts off random Star Wars facts throughout the movie ("Did you know that Sullustans don't eat cheese?"). And then the T.O. Sith Lord can say something obnoxious, which will trigger the laugh track. Wait. Better yet, let's film it in front of a studio audience and call it "My Three Sith Lords."

Yeah.

Box office gold, baby.

Kershner changed a lot on ESB didn't he? I think The prequels would have been better if someone else directed them besides George Lucas. He came up with a great concept, but should let someone else tell the story. Then again, Spielberg directed Indy 4.
