Cast The Harbinger Movie

ManofTheAtom · Post by **ManofTheAtom** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 10:17 pm

Title's self explanatory

The only guideline is this:

Use the first eight issues of the comic book series (issues 0 through 7, the arc known as "Children of the Eight Day") as the plot for a Harbinger TV movie (think 6 hr mini series to fit the whole thing). That should give you an idea of which characters to use.

Obviously you can skip over using characters like Solar, which means compressing the story as much as possible to ignore the stuff that isn't relevant, mainly issue 5.

So, of today's actors (both from TV and film), which ones do you see as playing Harada, Sting, Flamingo, Kris, Torque, Faith, Ax, and the others?

On a similar note I was thinking about if there was a decent Valiant video game. I was thinking on the lines of like an X-Men legends style game. Switch out characters. Go around finding new characters. If they made a game like that I would buy it.

So I don't really know any "kid actors".....

I don't watch any of those MTV shows like Laguna Beach or The Hills, but probably some peeps from there. But I don't know any of them.

Or maybe some Disney actors....

Cool topic, but I can't play.

Some of the "Heroes" perhaps?

Adam Brody (is it Adam? The guy who played Seth Cohen in The OC) may work as Sting.

I was going to say Sato from Karate Kid II should play Harada, but I just found out he passed away.

No offense, but your version of the movie would suck.

Ken Watanabe is just a fantastic actor anyways, and yeah I think he would be perfect for Toyo.

His role in Batman Begins as the fake Ras Al Ghul and especially his role in 'The Last Samurai' (ignoring Tom Cruise in that movie altogether)

The others, except I think Niki Blonsky would be perfect for Zephyr, were just names that came to mind at the time.

Good choice.
I think James Shigeta (Die Hard) would have been a great choice (20 years ago).

Thats Vincent D'onofrio. You can imagine how he wouldn't work anymore.

But... if Torque lived....
