Monkey Island: The movie!


Interesting idea, but it'd probably would be stab-a-fork-in-your-eyes fantastic.

Here's a horrible fancast that I myself admit is horrible, and would never want to see it actually happen in any sort of scenario.

Guybrush Threepwood: Orlando Bloom (voiced by Steven Hawking)
Elaine Marley: Keira Knightly (voiced by Tim Allen)
Lechuck: Geoffrey Rush (voiced by Keira Knightly)
Murray: Ivanna Trump (voiced by James Earl Jones)
Herman Toothrot: Lindsay Lohan (voiced by Paris Hilton)
Timmy the monkey: Robin Williams (voiced by Robin Williams)

Well Monkey Island is based on Pirates of the Caribbean ride :)

I think Topher Grace would be a great Guybrush.

reply

I'd have to strongly agree!

What about woopi goldberg as the voodoo lady. Or maybe she;s a bit to over the top...i know, Della Reese!

reply

I think Owen Wilson would make the best Guybrush ever.

reply

He's had a few too many perverted roles for me to see him as anything but a ladies man, and I think we all know Guybrush is hardly that.

Zach Braff IS Guybrush.

reply

YES HE IS! (or at least his character, "JD" on Scrubs is)

He'd be a great Guybrush

reply

i agree that this would be the best idea to do. Or if you wanted a live action film, then I suggest that you would use a commedian as Guybrush... Robin Williams perhaps??? he did ok in 'hook'.

Also, they started to make a MI film at around the time that COMI came out. i think it says it in the trivia section, but ive just found some of the concept art that they had: http://www.stacchi.com/folio/

I have to agree... Owen Wilson might be good... though Seann William Scott might be good if he could actually act...

reply

I think Jerry Seinfeld would've been a good Guybrush. He kinda looks like him (especially in CMI) and his voice sounds a little bit like Dominics. But maybe Jerry is to old to be Guybrush now but whatever.

THE BEST CAST FOR MONKEY ISLAND THE MOVIE:

Guybrush: Ryan Gosling
Elayne: Rachel Weisz
LeChuck: John Goodman (with enough make-up & special effects)
voice of Murray: Denny Delk
Voodoo Lady: Irma P. Hall
Herman: Alan Arkin

You won't find a better cast than that!

reply

Seann William Scott...? Uhmm... you're right!! He would be a nice Guybrush ^__^
How about Debra Messing as Elaine and uhm... Ian McKellen is too tall as Herman... let's see... ahah everyone who is shorter and looking like Santa Claus *.*

unfortunately they won't make a monkey Island film because of PoTC

This Isn't my Sig, my Sig got Stolen

reply

Orlando Bloom as Guybrush?!? NEVER! Guybrush demands a REAL actor, not a freaking pretty face! You got to have TALENT to pull off those lines!

The one signature...TO RULE THEM ALL!

reply

yep thats why Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow, and would make a brilliant GuyBrush.

This Isn't my Sig, my Sig got Stolen

reply

Exactly! Well...except Johnny's a bit too...secure, I guess is the word. Guybrush is more...I don't know, not as well put together. And I just couldn't believe it's him with Dominic Armato's voice.

reply

No no no... you silly children. David Spade shall play the role of Guybrush Threepwood.


Though Zach Braff would be a delightfull second choice

reply

As others have said, I would choose either Topher Grace or Zach Braff. They're both pretty quirky like Guybrush. I wish they would make a Monkey Island movie :(

reply

Yeah Topher Grace would do it well!! They so should make the moovie

---------------------------------
No no no!! Stop slashing things!!

reply

Topher Grace would be SO good as Guybrush. He has the long face, the lankyness and even the way he acts could be comparable...

Yep!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Guybrush Threepwood: Orlando Bloom (voiced by Steven Hawking)
steven hawking XDHAHAHAHAHA.....

I'm actually in the process of writing a script for a movie version that I plan on pitching in a few years.

reply

That sounds pretty cool, wuld you create an entirely new story? or use one of the games?

*Don't stress. You'll live longer.* =D!

reply

i plan on using curse of monkey island. i think is a great story and just needs to be adjusted to fit the big screen. plus i think i'd make a good guybrush:) tall, blonde and lanky!

reply

Cool, I think that's probbly the best bet. One thing you've probably already thought about, is that it could fall into the trap of being a bit too 'pirates of the carribeany.' I certinly felt that Pirates was soooo an adapted version of Monkey Island (Dead Pirates and the voodoo woman mostly, but Barbosa also looks a lot like Le Chuck!)

Anyway, I know you're probably aware of that, and I was just wondering whether or not Pirates would be an influence, something you would deliberately avoid, or something that you just wouldn't think about?

*Don't stress. You'll live longer.* =D!

reply

i know it might be a topic of debate, but i'm going to stay away from it as much as possible because this script is going to be a lot more ridiculous and "out there". I think its necessary to have that obnoxiously strange humor especially because of all the modern references such as the amusement park. i'd like to write it in a way so as to not have people think i'm just riding the coattails of POTC.

reply

Sounds good. Good luck with it!

*Don't stress. You'll live longer.* =D!

reply

thanks man.

reply

On a Monkey Island website which I cannot recall at this moment, there was a small article that had something about there being plans to make a MI movie that got scrapped, BUT... The guy who was writing for that also ending up writing or something for Pirates of the Carribean...

Thats my two cents, and I can't remember exactly, so don't test me on accuracy... :-P

reply

Wouldn't surprise me, as soon as it came out it screamed Monkey Island. The Undead? The fact LeChuck looks like Barbosa? Pirates of the 'Carribean'?

Coincidence? I think not.

Peepwood.
