If they ever make one

Johnny Depp should play the Warden and Micheal J. Fox should play Jared.

These are the only roles I can think of so far.

David Wain would obviously play the Warden (I believe there have been threads on this before) because the character was partly modeled after him (in the original art for Superjail, before Wain signed to voice him, the Warden was bearded). Depp looks and sounds nothing like the Warden. All he really has going for him would be the way he plays wacky characters.

I can't think of who would play the other roles either...They're all such animated characters, it's hard to imagine someone real playing them.

*beep* that.

Superjail should exist only in the animation medium since it takes such advantage of the format! In live action it wouldn't be the same. It certainly couldn't be as manic & have each frame as loaded as is currently is.

There. It's on the Internet. Thus it's official

I was thinking maybe Hal Sparks as the Warden and Steven Carell as Jared?.

A live action movie would be god awful , but danny devito would be jared

Warden: David Wain
Jared: Steve Buscemi or Paul Giamatti
Alice: Patrick Warburton
The Twins: DJ Qualls

Some of those might sound a little weird, but think about it. Warburton has done a decent job of voicing a transgendered character on Oblongs, so he'd be able to get the voice and he'd have the build necessary for Alice.

Since I don't think anyone could look like Jared you'd have to match his awkwardness and I think Buscemi or Giamatti would be able to do that well.

As for Qualls, he'd be good for the twins because he's funny looking and so are they. He'd probably be able to match the different tones of the voices, I think.

Or maybe Giovanni Ribisi
as jared. I could see him playing that part.
David Wain looks familar,was he on the Daily Show?
