Casting the Watchmen

The fabulous Mr. Strong Bad Hunt and I had a discussion about casting the Watchmen movie. Here are some thoughts … can you fill in the blanks?
(If you have no clue as to what I’m talking about, get thee to a comic store.)

BERNARD – Ossie Davis cliossie1.gif
BERNIE – Larenz Tate tate.jpg
COMEDIAN – ???

HOODED JUSTICE – Arnold Schwarzenegger arnold.jpg
DOCTOR MANHATTAN – Daniel Craig craig.jpg
DR. MALCOLM LONG ???

MOLOCH – Peter O’Toole peter.jpg
NITE OWL I ???

NITE OWL II – Stephen Root root.jpg
OZYMANDIAS ???

RORSCHACH – William H. Macy macy.jpg
SILK SPECTRE I – Bette Midler midler.jpg
SILK SPECTRE II ???

What say you?

  1. Mr Strongbad Hunt… Heeheeheehee! I like that.

    Actually, shouldn’t both of you guys take a starring role in this? It’s not like Mr Bad to hide in the shadows.

    Um.. then again. Scratch that.

    I would totally take a starring role!! I’d be that guy who’s always bumming around, reading the pirate comics.

    That would be awesome.

    next time, don’t hold back from telling us your true feelings.

    Okay…I love the notion of Daniel Craig as Dr. Manhattan, as well as Peter O’Toole.

    Kudos.

    Macy is a stronger and more versatile actor, but I actually think David Caruso would be a decent back up choice for Rorschach. His range would work for the character. That’s an alternate choice mind you, I like Macy a great deal.

  6. Ok – still looking for suggestions on The Comedian, Silk Spectre 2, Ozymandius and Malcolm Long.
    Anyone?
