Kraftwerk79 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 OK, Im' aware a lot of you will probably disagree, but hopefully more of you will agree. With all the bad movies out there, don't you think it's about time they made a movie with a plot based on Monkey Island? That would be so cool! I know I'd go see it.. But they'd better make it good.. Kind of like Spaceballs, I envision, but different.. You know? //E-lektric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegend Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 A movie would be great, so what actors should play the parts? Guybrush: Elaine: etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheaday6 Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 all the parts should be played by Eddie Murphy ... wait a minute .... nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayDude Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 It depends.... I'd hate to have the movie suck, it would ruin my impression of the movie, butg if there were one, I'd think that Julia-Louis Dreyfus would play Elaine (any Sienfeld fans out there?) and Matthew Perry (chandler from friends) play Guybrush. And of course, Denny Delk as the voice of Murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymipage Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 I don't agree with Matt Perry playing Guybrush - I don't think he would be a good Guybrush. Jim Carey would play a good Stan I think and for Guybrush.......hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayDude Posted December 25, 2001 Share Posted December 25, 2001 Also have Sean Connery play Ozzie Mandrill, and I agree with Jim Carrey. Who should play LeChuck and who should play Carla? And Reese Witherspoon play Brittany the bank teller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonnic Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 I think that if the WOULD make a movie, they should make an 3d movie (like Shrek) I mean, Matthew saying "i'm guybrush threepwood, a mighty pirate" is only funny because it would look stupid.... -Tonnic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymipage Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 If you did a 3D thing you would be turning Monkey Island from a Game to a cartoon - It would just be like watching a game that your not playing. I think Danny DiVieto (or how ever you spell it) would make a great HT Marley or I. Cheese. Adam Sandler (I'm really bad at spelling names so it's probably wrong, but you know who I mean) might make an alright Guybrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TillyBonBon Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Jim Carrey would be a perfect Stan and Sean Connery would be great for Ozzie. I can't think of anybody for Guybrush or LeChuck, but maybe Julia Roberts for Elaine? Eh, maybe. A movie would be awesome, though. But should it be animated or real? I dunno. Both types have their strong points. Either way, I'd love to see how they'd do LeChuck, in his incarnations as Ghost, Zombie and Demon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 How about Dominic Armato as guybrush, and if you don't know, he was the voice of guybrush in the last 2 games. i don't know what he looks like (if he's black, forget it. i have nothing against blacks, i am black, but i can't see guybrush threepwood being black) but i think he'd be good. BTW, a Monkey Island movie would be a great idea for an ending to the saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 People say that Dominic is too old to play Guybrush. Maybe he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's so contorted that they'd have to make him computer animated *Shudder*. Those cheesy computer animated effects in a real person movie don't mix. Croc Hunter as Ozzie! Just a little make up and walla, an old man! (j/k) And Cassandra Bullock for Elaine. Erm...No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayDude Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 No, Sean Connery would play a perfect Ozzie. As for Guybrush.... hmm... dunno.... but I know Murray would have to be computer animated so he would only have a real voice, and Denny Delk is the only one who could do Murray. I could see Whoopi Goldberg as Carla, Tim Curry as LeChuck, Julia-louis Dreyfus as Elaine, Jim Carrey as Stan, Russell Crowe as Largo, Billy Bob Thornton as Pegnose Pete, and Martin Short as Wally. Also maybe Mike Myers as Otis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 did you see myres in shrek, or austin powers 1&2, he can do a different accent if he want's. but still, i think he'd play a good voice of murray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 An MI movie would not have the budget to accomodate Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey or Sean Connery. Sorry. It would have to be based on the series, a film of each game wouldn't work. Why? Well... Adventure games are almost exclusively single player affairs. In the movies, it would be boring to see one guy walking around solving puzzles. The film would have to treat its already established fans as fools in order to reach a wider audience. I mean, if they made a movie about MI that didn't bother to introduce each character the only people who would get it straight away would be those who already know about it. Based of the number of people in this forum, 13,000 rounded up, they would not make a lot of thier money back. (And a large percentage of the 13,00 are star wars fans.) It would work best as a 'Monsters, Inc.' style 3d film, so we could have Dom as Guybrush, and keep the lovely visuals we all know and adore. There was a big thing about an MI movie on another site years ago that placed Michael J. Fox as Guybrush. Brilliant casting, but that won't happen now as he has Parkinsons disease. The only modern film comparable to Monkey Island is Cutthroat Island - a box-office failure. Despite all this, I will one day bring MI to the screen for you all.

MurrayDude Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 Well said, LucasTones. It'll be Shreky, keeping the vices from the original. Oh yeah. In CMI, Kenny's voice is Gary Coleman. Is that the same Gary Coleman from Diff'rent strokes? or a different guy by the same name? plz respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 not likely, they had a mark hamill in 'Full Throttle', and i'm sure it wasn't really the 'Star Wars' star. what do you think. by the way, i think Michael J. Fox would be good as the voice of guybrush, and he can still do voices, just not any physical acting. remeber he did 'Stuart Little' and that 'Atlantis' one, what do you think.

MurrayDude Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Yeah maybe his voice.... Or DOMINIC ARMATO! Wow, it might be crazy enough just to work. Anyways, I think it might be Coleman. I saw that stupid weakest link commercial with him in it and compared de voices. A little similar. I can imagine. And Gary and Kenny are around thhe same height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hncalavera Posted February 3, 2002 Share Posted February 3, 2002 Perhaps that dude from "That 70's Show".... the same guy who was the druggie preppie kid in "Traffic"... as Guybrush. Or perhaps Toby Maguire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
