   Casting Call!!
So, I've been thinking about Sailor Moon Live Action, and Gundam Wing Musicals... and today I went to see the second Spiderman movie... The natural birth of this unholy union of thoughts is as follows:

"They keep taking cartoons from my youth and turning them into big hollywood movies..."

"They turn them into live-action movies..."

"With non-foamy monsters, unlike Sailor Moon L.A..."

"And... they could do GIANT ROBOTS!!!!!"

Then all hell broke loose, as I stood up in the theater and screamed, "Why are they wasting money pretending to write dialogue this crappy when these fantastic special effects could be used on GIANT ROBOTS!!!! TROWA LOOSES HIS SHIRT!!!!"

Thankfully, I'm quite short, so everyone could still see over me, and the movie sound was so high that they couldn't hear me yell.

Anyway, I've arrived at a premise:

Gundam Wing Live Action Movie!
(Yeah I know it'll never happen, but here's how it should be if it did.)

2 Things:

1. I'm insisting on growing them up a bit... this is because I'd be a little uncomfortable watching 15-year-old boys run around with no shirts. Sorry to all the perverts, and 15-year-old girls, but I'd prefer them in the 18-25 age group. Plus, let's face it, no government on earth gives billion $$ technology to under-18's, if for no other reason than insurance would be impossible to get.

2. This is fun and fluid! Submit your ideas, tell me what you think. As this things grows, I'll start assembling a picture gallery, and who knows, if the response is good, I'll play with graphics programs and see if that movie can be "made".
And so.

First Cast: Quatre Raberba Winner = Tobey Maguire

Reason: T.M. spends 1/2 of Spiderman 2 almost in, or in tears. Quatre spends 1/2 of Gundam Wing doing the same.

Caveat: Quatre's the easiest for me to cast, since I don't have a huge emotional attachment to him. And if T.M. can keep the body he got for Spiderman, that's extra eye-candy.

Second Cast: Wu Fei Chang = Jet Li

Reason: Why not? I mean, he can play with swords, he can shoot stuff, he's pretty and short, and it can't be that hard to play the guy that doesn't get along with anyone.

Caveat: I though of this while watching the movie. I was bored. He's way too old, but what the heck, tell me who you'd prefer.

So far that's all I've got. Please, add to the list! I especially want submissions for Trowa look-alikes, and Duo... that's the hardest I think. The Absolutely-Perfect-Face and the WiseAss-Cute-Funny-Creepy ... gonna need help with those.

Post, post, post!!!
