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)
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 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.
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
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 *.*
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.
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 :(
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!
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?
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.
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
