Ideal Reboot Cast - Xena: Warrior Princess (1995) Discussion

[–] Nike316 9 years ago

I was waiting on someone to make this post.

My ideal cast:

Meg- Emma Stone, http://images.tvrage.com/screencaps/34/6668/236256.jpg(ctrl +), http://www.taaz.com/images/B3284EEC601889A2CAC5512DE9A1FE29.jpg

Hope- Dakota Fanning, http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/hercxena/images/9/9c/Hope_Xena.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091011010216, http://wallpup.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Dakota-Fanning-Twilight-Wallpaper-HD.jpg, https://jacksonupperco.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/an1_013.jpg

Alti- Angelina Jolie, http://33.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsjb36vpjv1qdku85o1_250.gif, http://majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Malfcnt_Payoff_F.jpg

Julius Caesar- Craig Horner, http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/hercxena/images/4/4e/Caesarfates.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091223145210, https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bb/5b/78/bb5b789bdf35b6b5a8885a8dc5207230.jpg

My cast has too much star power, and lacks the main roles, I know. I didn't have any luck choosing their replacements.

Yea, you may want to think smaller Nike. There is no way in hell those names would sign on.

For Xena and Gabby, I'm not sure whether I should go with looks or acting skills. If producers are just looking for an attractive chick to kick ass, they could choose Jessica Lowndes. She's very attractive, fit and looks like Xena somewhat. I actually CAN picture Dakota as Gabby.

Although I agree that Jessica Lowndes is incredibly beautiful, I don't see her as a warrior type. She's dainty. Instead, I can picture her 90210 co-star Jessica Stroup. She stands at 5'8" and I can see her yielding a chakram and/or sword.

Jaimie Alexander was my first choice for Xena but alas she got another show....so depending on how long she goes on SHIELD, Adrianne Palicki is my next choice ..if not, 3rd option is Mandy Moore and if not, then my LAST option is Jessica De Gouw.

Personally no preference for Gabby yet, but if they go for a unknown actress, I would pick Anna Hutchison.

For Ares, its hard to out do Kevin Smith, but per looks alone and similar acting, I'd pick Matt Nable.

I was actually thinking Adrienne Palicki too, she's a versatile actress and might be able to pull it off.

I think they should search for the cast based on the chemistry of the actors and their abilities, not based on their resemblance to original cast members. Ideally, the cast will look different from the original series cast.

I have to agree with this. The Xena Reboot should have different interpretations of the characters to not just be channeling the original cast.

Joey Lawrence for Ares

I'd like to see how Gina Torres does as Xena, and I agree with whoever said Jolie as Alti. I'd like to see Robert Treber again as Salmoneous.

I saw a recent photo of James Franco and thought he would be perfect as Ares, doubt he would take on the role though :(

Britt Robertson as Gabrielle. She looks more than a little like her, but more importantly, she has many of Renee O'Connor's mannerisms. It's not as apparent in her movies, but I recently watched her short-lived TV series, The Secret Circle and it was uncanny.

"You crazy witch!" Phoebe Halliwell, Charmed.

Maybe we need a fresh face for Xena, instead of someone whom is well known. I think I may know who - Gina Varela.

reply

[–] dan-willi84 8 years ago

Gina Varela is a Greek Kiwi actress. She has done TV shows, feature films. Her acting debut was in the Xena episode "Whose Gurkhan?" as the slave Milda. I think it would make sense casting a genuine Greek actress in the role. Because Xena is from ancient Greece.

I was thinking since they changed the origin. It should be a Japanese actress.
