Robotech Film Fan Casting

Unread post by 13eowulf »

So random conversation happened, and the subject of the Robotech live action movie cast came up.

This is the cast I came up with. I am fully aware that it will not happen, but I thought it could be a fun thread.
    Rick Hunter - Tyler Posey

    Lisa Hayes - Alexandra Daddario

    Lin Minmei - Chloe Bennet

    Henry J Gloval - Nick Offerman

    Max Sterling - Taron Egerton

    Miriya Parina - Gal Gadot

    Claudia Grant - Zoe Saldana

    Breetai - Dwayne Johnson

    Khyron - Donald Glover

    Dolza - Edward James Olmos

    Exedore - Robert Knepper

    Roy Fokker - Ryan Reynolds

    Ben Dixon - Tyler Labine

    Donald Hayes - Patton Oswalt

    Zentraedi Spies - Any Three: Chris Pine , Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt

    Bridge Trio - Babymetal

Who would you cast for what roles?

I would rather have someone chinese (and an unknown) play Lin Minmay, and have Chloe play Lisa.

Maybe, as the Zentradi are supposed to be clones, have one actor of each gender play all the Zentraedi and just use slightly different hair and make-up effects to differentiate them.

except in the show we never saw duplicates. they may have been grown in tubes, but they are definitely a very diverse genetic group.

Actually I originally had her as Lisa.
But some were saying she may be a bit young, so I went with Alexandra Daddario
I still wanted Chloe Bennet in the cast, and she actually had a hit pop single in China (as Chloe Wang) before Agents of Shield, so I moved her to Minmei.

Clones to play Zentraedi? I thought I did that, if you look under the options for Zentraedi spies.....

Babymetal as the Bridge Bunnies? Cute, but Kim Sammie and Vanessa weren't Asian. I'd save them to play the muses in the second film.

Chloe isn't a bad choice, but she might have trouble playing a 16 year old.

Lin Minmei - Rikako Sasaki. She's a singer and actress and closer to the right age.

Bridge Trio- Vanessa Leeds, Kaya Scodelario. Kim Young, Vanessa Hudgens. Sammie Porter, Ellen Page.

Now that I think of it, Halston Sage might make a good Kim.

Doesn't mean the film has to keep that.

Does that actually matter? I mean I know my casting isnt the most diverse but I didnt try to be constrained by ethnicity.

I just figured for a Hollywood script they would up-age her for the love triangle story, otherwise it gets weird for western audiences.

Think I'd like Scarlett Joe Hanson as Lisa/Miss Hayes
