The 26th Century

I did some research.. I found 2 women who might fill the part of Wilma.

They are... Jennifer Garner and Jean Grey.

I'm still working on the men list.


graylady

Does every body else like the ideas for these guys as well? This is important.





Jennifer Garner



Jean Grey, who isn't real grayladyfalcon. Jean Grey is an X-Men character. This is a picture of the actress who plays her in the movies



Thomas Kretschmann



Adrian Brody





Erin

Sorry, I forgot her real name.

I'm still working on the other men.



graylady

I found the name of the actress that played Jean Grey...

How about Famke Janssen? for Wilma...

Then I found 2 older men. I haven't figured out what part they would be suited for. They are Ian McKellen and Brian Cox.

graylady

I must confess that when I read the episodes, I still see Gil Gerard as Buck, Erin Gray as Wilma, etc. But of course they are too old now to be cast in a new series... At least they could not play Buck or Wilma -- but I guess it would be fun if they were cast as another character, just like Buster Crabbe (who played Buck Rogers in the thirties) once appeared in an episode of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Anyway, about new actors: I don't know this Thomas Kretschmann, but I agree I could picture him as Buck Rogers (from the photo). And I like the idea of Famke Janssen playing Wilma -- if only because she's Dutch, like me!

I like Adrien Brody but I can't really see him as Hawk. Will have to think about an alternative...

Oh and I could see Ian McKellen playing Dr Huer.

Maybe Nicole Kidman as Charisse? (If we can cast McKellen then surely we can cast her too!)

Mariet

Yeah, I liked Adrian Brody due to his nose.

I agree with you, Gil and Erin would still be good in a remake.

I'm still trying to find more that might fill in the rest of the crew and guest.




graylady

Gotta love that casting on the X-Men movies, think I'll watch the second movie tonight .


Ian McKellen


Nicole Kidman




Erin

I know what you mean Erin.. I really enjoyed the first and second movie myself.


graylady

Could picture Ian McKellen as Dr. Huer.

'k now it's Thomas Kretschmann as Buck, Famke Janssen as Wilma.


Erin

Yeahhh..

Erin, I found a couple of male actors. see if any of them fit the cast line up.

1) Justin Long

2) Tom Welling

3) Ewan McGregor


graylady

I've seen Tom Welling before and Ewan McGregor, but Justin Long. Could you name some thing he's been in? Cause I don't know if I've seen him before. Who are you thinking about these guys playing? McGregor is actually in one of my favorite movies.






Erin

Justin Long played in movies like..

1) Accepted

2) Herbie Fully Loaded

3) Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

4) Jeepers Creepers

5) Galaxy Quest

I can see Justin Long as "Fox" (though he doesn't have red hair.)

One of the other two might be pretty good for the part of De-Pas.


graylady

I've only seen Dodgeball once and that was back before Comcast figured out I shouldn't be getting HBO . Galaxy Quest I have, is Justin Long the actor who played the kid who was the big fan? If so I could picture the Fox thing.

On Tom Welling or Ewan McGregor for De-Pas .... Hmm. I'll leave that vote up to Mariet.




Erin

I don't know Tom Welling, so I can't say anything about him. Ewan McGregor I like, but I hadn't exactly imagined De-Pas looking like him! Let me think of another part he could play... Maybe that of Buck's womanizing classmate, I forgot his name?
