Okay, I'm not taking all things into consideration here...some of the people I've selected as character candidates were mostly based on physical features...others I thought would bring more to the role...remember, I'm not looking at the entire package (WHO, for gosh sakes, would have Egon's hair, height, and voice?)...just who could 'possibly' play the role based on physical appearance and sometimes other things influenced my decision...
as follows:
PETER VENKMAN: I chose
Vince Vaughan - comedic timing is great
Johnny Knoxville - has that whole bad boy thing going on
Collin Farrel - total womanizer, would play the role well (with his NY accent of course...think "Phone Booth")
RAY STANZ: I chose
Matthew Brodrick -- great comedic actor, loveable, cute
Kevin James -- he has the giddy kid-like quality
WINSTON ZEDDEMORE:
Taye Diggs -- yum
Morris Chestnut - great actor...
I thought about Jamie Foxx but his personality would be too overbearing for this role...Winston was more chill...
EGON SPENGLER:
This of course was a tough one...I may need you to use your imagination...but I'm NOT looking at what they've done in the past, their celebrity 'status' I'm looking at someone who can sell being smart, but also has to be attractive as we do know Spengs gets the ladies
Matthew McConaghy - totally think he's got the bone structure of Egon
David Schwimmer - we know he can do "adorably nerdy" as we've seen on Friends (hair colour might be an issue though...)
Matthew Fox - if you watch LOST you'll know that homeboy has got some issues, that have caused him to be emotionally detached (much like Egon)...very convincing in that role
here's him in Smokin' Aces (minus the 'stache for Egon though)
I don't see him quite as nerdy in the role, more like this with small glasses
JANINE MELNITZ:
This was a tough one, depending on how you see "Janine" unconventionally pretty, then I'd chose either:
Sarah Jessica Parker - she has that whole New York edge thing going on...
Debra Messing - we know she looks good as a redhead! And she'd be funny as hell (doesn't hurt that she was born in Brooklyn, NY!)
(here she is big cheap earrings and all!)
If you're more of the train of thought that Ms.Melnitz is some hot woman, then theres
Christina Applegate (her features in this picture for some reason really look like the animated Janine)
Jennifer Anistan - she has that strong chin, and I loved how she played the jealous role on Friends
Uma Thurman - now bear with me...there's something subtly sexy about gangly, awkward Uma...I can totally see it...she would definately bring the edge that Janine has to the role...
replace gun with blaster
as a redhead
thoughts?
