Who should be cast if there was a Megas live action movie?


my wife and i were thinking about this while watching a couple episodes last night. for coop, i was thinking possibly jack black.. since he is sort of a big guy (not really though) and he is pretty crazy like coop also.

as for jamie, couldnt really think of anyone. kiva.. who knows. any other ideas?

reply

I think it should be Coop's voice actor playing Coop. they look very similar. as for Jamie, i'm thinkin... Aaron Trainor. (http://imdb.com/name/nm1036135/) no idea about Kiva.

My Cast-

Coop-Steve Harwell(the Lead Singer of Shmash mouth)

Jamie-Maybe Seth Green

Kiva-Clea Duvall

Goat-Tommy Chong

Gorrath(Voice)-Clancy Brown

Director-Garth Jennings(The Hitchhicker's Guide to The Galaxy)

Coop: Jorge Garcia, he's not as loud but he looks very similar, besides the curly hair which could be easily tamed.

Kiva: Milla Jovovich, I just like the idea of Milla being Kiva.

Jamie: I don't know.

Goat: I like the Sid Haig and Tommy Chong ideas, however I think that Bill Mosley, as Otis in the House of a 1000 Corpses duology looks more the part.

Haha, actors, ya'll gotta think outside the box maaaaaan. the best person to play coop would be...me! i'm a big, fat, loud, blonde, goof that knows some stuff about cars. Jaime should be played by someone from corporate america, theyre both heartless. Kiva...i dunno about her, she kinda looks like my friend, but ya never know. My brother and gorrath have alot in common, so they could do that...hehehe. Goat...dunno. and Tiny should be in the live action movie, hes cool. dunno who'd play him though.

Id have to agree with you, Chris Farley would of been great for the role

reply

Coop - Sean Astin or David DeLuise

Jamie - James Duval

Kiva - Kelly Hu? or Linda Cardellini? or Rebecca Romijn?

Goat - Tommy Chong

Gorrath - Clancy Brown

reply

I always thought Tyler Labine would be a great Coop. He looks the part. DJ Qualls would possable play a good jamie. Jewel Staite maybe for Kiva.

reply

There is a show on Spike TV called "Xtream 4X4"
Either Coop and Kiva were modled after this couple, or their Big Megas fans.
Check them out and you'll see what I mean. All she needs is red hair, and her boyfriend IS Coop...

First of all, it would probably be directed as my #1 top director of superhero movies, Sam Raimi!!!!!! (Heroic fanfare) (some) Music by Green Day, and maybe Gorillaz. the composer would either be Elliot Goldenthal (batman forever, batman & robin) or John Williams, whom I consider the greatest (movie) music composer of all time. Second of all, Coop (jamie and kiva too) would all be young, but david spade would make a good jamie... hmm... I'll sign off for now. I need to think of more actors. Adios!

coop: the dude who plays him
Jamie: that dude who played the goth guy in "hang mans curse"
Kiva: alisea Glidwell
goat: Davide spade

reply

Also, after Coop discovers MEGAS, there should be a live action version of the opening montage.

Yeah yeah, and it should have this quote somewhere.

No one. Keep it a cartoon. Makeing it live action would ruin it.

Because ANYTHING made into a movie is ultra-special-awesome.

Seriously, it's painful enough that the show is dead, no need to piss on the grave.

reply

Two words. Donal Logue (Ghost Rider/Knights of Prosperity). Some of these suggestions would rock as well. Jack Black would be pretty cool. What about JB's partner? Lol, jk.

Well, I was just seeing a clip of Ghost Rider and remembered this thread. I thought I would chime in, despite the fact it's apparently old.

reply

coop: donal logue (loved him on grounded for life and blade) he would make a great coop.

jaime: sean williaM scott (the goofy sidekick)

kiva: carrie-ann moss (she has already had the look from when she did the matrix series)

The guy that plays Sock on Reaper for Coop

reply

^^^
End discussion of Coop (j_pleimann wins).

Tyler Labine (aka Sock from Reaper) is perfect for Coop.

reply

Your all picking people that are too old to play the main characters.
Anyway, Coop should be played by Tyler Labine.

reply

I wholeheartedly agree with j pleimann. The moment I saw that guy I thought he would be perfect for Coop.

Milo Ventimiglia for Jamie? Dunno if he could pull it off quite as hillariously as Steven Blum, but he does bear a striking resemblance to our favorite cowardly womanizer.

Seth Rogen as Coop (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736622/)
Jay Baruchel as Jamie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0059431/)

and yes, I DO think Judd Apatow should be one of the writers.

It's gonna be AWSOME!

To compile some of your answers into my own...

Coop-Jack Black

Kiva-Milla Jovovich

Jamie-Seth green

Goat-Bruce Campbell (No reason whatsoever, just a Campbell fan)

Tyler Labine would be the ultimate Coop.
Jamie- Seth Green or maybe Jamie Kennedy
Kiva- Christina Hendricks.

+1 (that list is TOO perfect!!!)

reply

YES. JACK BLACK ALL THE WAY! I've been hoping that one day, if I ever become a director, I can make a movie of this...

reply

Tyler Labine is Coop in real life.....

reply

Coop: Mark McGrath +like 150 lbs would have the look

Kiva: Rachel Lutrell (Teyla on Stargate Atlantis) has the kungfu stuff down, and has already basically played a Kiva-like character in Teyla.

reply

*resurects thread*

I agree with the people saying Tyler Labine for Coop.

I can't think of anybody that would make a good Kiva...but as for Jamie, I can't believe nobodys mentioned Joseph Gordon Levitt. He could do it like nobody else could.

reply

Coop-Tyler Labine
Jamie-Zach Braff
Kiva-Milla Jovovich maybe?
Goat-Ryan Hurst? (I felt like being different with this one lol)

reply

Coop--Tyler Labine
Jamie--Joseph Gordon Levitt
Kiva--Jaimie Alexander( Heh, best I've got at the moment...)
