The Casting Game

[Brian Melanson]

Okay so, for the Charlie's Angels.... I'm gonna go with Camilla Mendes, Elizabeth Olsen and Yara Shahidi. I know Elizabeth is the oldest out of the trio. But I imagine her being the only remaining Angel and being assigned to train two new and young recruits. (yes I included a backstory because I am what? Sickening.)

[Darrin McCann]

Zendaya	Yifei Liu	Chloe Grace Moretz

[Brady Brown]

I went with a concept of the Angels being a little older

Constance Wu, Regina King, and Eva Longoria

[Jack Malone]

This was actually way too hard to pick. I feel like everyone's choices could totally work. I love the backstory Brian had for his - I could definitely see that being a show/movie idea - and I loved the concept of Brady's Angels all being a little older (it's definitely something I could see done for a HBO Max series). I was thiiiiis close to handing this back to Jay for the next round with his picks, but I think Darrin McCann is the winner here. I could totally see Zendaya and Chloe Grace Moretz kicking ass alongside Mulan of all people. So this round goes to Darrin. 

[Darrin McCann]

Sweet deal! Sorry it's taken me so long to post. I have been flip-flopping between ideas Lol. One of my favorite games recently has been Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Lets cast Alexios and Kassandra.

[Jay Paterson]

Sadly, Odyssey is one of the only AC games I haven't played. I need to get around to that.

I'll go with Kit Harington and Gemma Arterton. 

 

[Jack Malone]

I know nothing of these games, but I'mma go: Jon Bernthal & Alexandra Daddario 

[Darrin McCann]

This was a tough one because I could picture both sets of actors for the roles. I think I will go with Jack Malone.

[Jack Malone]

They've made a Han Solo movie with a new actor to play his younger self, so who could play Princess/Senator/General Leia Organa (Skywalker/Solo) in a solo film (either set before A New Hope or in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens). 

To make this not as easy, I'm NOT accepting Billie Lourd (Carrie Fisher's daughter) as a pick. 

[Darrin McCann]

I'm going to go with Nina Dobrev. I think she could really embody the character of Leia, and with the right makeup and lighting she could pull off the look as well.

[Jay Paterson]

Jack, you're very brave for tying to cast this part. 

i have only one girl in mind, although Billie Lourd would have been everyone's first choice. But I will have to go with, Olivia Cooke!

[Brian Melanson]

So anyways — I will not be following the rules

[Jack Malone]

I'm going to give this one to Jay Paterson

Obviously, Billie Lourd would be the go-to, but I wanted to make it a little more challenging and I think Olivia Cooke is actually a pretty good pick. Obviously, it's impossible to replace Carrie Fisher and I don't see them doing anything that calls on Disney to recast the role, but it makes for a challenge in our casting game

[Jay Paterson]

Thanks, Jack! I guess sticking to the rules pays off 😆

So I’m not sure I could think of someone to take over this persona so I’d be interested in seeing who you guys come up with.
