What would the worst Firefly cast be?

Here are my thoughts:
Mal - Keanu Reeves
Inara - Winona Ryder
River - Reese Witherspoon
Simon - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Zoe - Queen Latifa
Wash - Kenneth Branagh
Kaylee - Christina Ricci
Book - Al Sharpton
Jayne - Orlando Bloom

One other thought, how good of an operative would Juaquin Phoenix make?

Phoenix WOULD rock in that part, no doubt about it.

Hmm. I'd say casting Nick Cage as Mal would've ruined everything. Al Pacino as Shepherd also.

Nice one, Khyron. I do so hate Fran Drescher.

Hafta say, you and ThePistonEngine are righteously quite ILL!

Too bad we all don't have something better to do, like comment on the new series/movie, etc.

Good laugh, guys/gals. Thanks.

The Worst Firefly Cast would be anyone but the cast we had. They were really amazing. Plus I think Don Knotts is dead, so yeah he would be the worst performance as Simon. I think they would have went a different way in Serenity Kaylee kissing someone all cropsified and gross might destory her mind.

The worst thing is, had any one of the people we've mentioned actually been cast as that character, the movie probably would've done better at the box office.

Holy frickin God you have to be kidding me! I've been laughing so hard at this I almost popped out a contact lens.

I also liked whoever posted Christopher Walken as Wash. Just imagine his delivery coupled with some of that goofy dialogue.

The most bizarre choice I came up with has to be Chris Farley as Mal. I know he's not around anymore but just picture it.

William Shatner!

Way out, crazy ideas here. But I think it would be more instructive to stick with ideas that are believable i.e. lists that a hollywood exec *could* (and probably did) come up with in pre-production. Current stars. Sort-of on target, but so, so wrong. A list where you could say "yeah, I see why they thought that...". Not tip-top of the range - no Tom Cruise - because Serenity could not have afforded them.

Here's mine:
Mal: Owen Wilson
Wash: Ben Stiller
Jayne: Vince Vaughn

Let's face it, they seem to come in a job-lot, so maybe Joss could have got all three as a bulk discount.

Zoe: Halle Berry
Inara: Natalie Portman
Kaylee: Hilary Duff (or Lindsey Lohan)
Book: James Earl Jones
River: Lindsey Lohan (or Hilary Duff)
Simon: I got nothing here. Nothing at all.

Cheers,
Johnboy

Kayna,
Ought not to. It's taken from my last remaining role-model, George Frederick Ruxton, who out-Bonded James Bond 150 years ago, was accepted by the mountain men as one of their own, rode with Kit Carson's men, explored in Africa, Canada, Mexico and in the Rockies, fought for the teen-age queen of Spain and earned a commendation from her, wrote several books of adventure and travel including the DEFINITIVE work on the mountain men...and died at age 27.

Mal - Johnny Depp
Jayne - Billy Bob Thorton
Zoe - Queen Latifa
Inara - Roseanne Barr
River - Linda Blair
Simon - Alec Baldwin
Book - Ving Rhames
Kaylee - Drew Barrymore
Wash - Christopher Walken (I need more cowbell!)

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse-kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

Get into the mind...

"Some people, you see, juggle geese. It's a strange thing to see... these goslings... these baby geese....being juggled...... They do what they can.... to amuse themselves..... If you close your eyes... you'll see it. It's weird."


Had to, had to share what's in my mind.

These are all cracking me up.... have to watch I don't spray my monitor. God, I have images now of all these people doing the scenes. The two that stand out, Chris Walken, and Will Shatner.

Have to do it.

Mal -- Tom Green. - Of course, watching him swill down the liquid the 'alien' calf was floating in might make for interesting viewing.
Zoe -- The 'Lady' from The Crying Game.
Wash -- Carrot Top. – Oh man, this one made me cringe.
Jayne -- Robert Z'Dar.
Book -- Chris Tucker. "Cha-mon!! You fools gotta get some god into you I’m gonna slap y'all down like Tina!"
Kaylee -- Estelle Getty. Jubal Early would so get a Sicilian death curse.
Simon -- Dave Coulier. (UNCLE JOEY!!!).
River – Anna-Nicole Smith. – Ewwww.
Inara -- Lambchop (but not Shari).

Ok, I've collected all your hillarious imputs, and I've come up with the "Serenity 2: I, Lovbot" cast.

Remember, these names were not chosen for the actors talent. They were chosen for a variety of reasons: How subtley they'd screw up the role, how they almost work but are just so wrong, and, of course, just how funny it is.

EDIT: Sigh- have to reformat the list

Mal: Bill Pullman.
Runner up: William Shatner

Inara: David Bowie
Runner up: Fran Drescher

Zoe: Tina Turner
Runner up: Claudia Black

Kaylee: Cameron Diaz
Runner up: Christina Ricci

Wash: Ben Stiller
Runner up: Vince Vaughn

Book: Reverend Al Sharpton
Runner up: Gregory Hines

Simon: Orlando Bloom
Runner up: George Clooney

River: Mary Kate Olsen
Runner up: Liv Tyler

Jayne: Christopher Walken
Runner up: Syvlester Stallone

The Operative: Jim Carrey
Badger: Joe Pesci
Jubal Early: Richard Gear

I just gotta say how funny Walken would be as Jayne. I could see him doing EVERYTHING Jayne would do, but he could never fake Jayne's thick skull. He just couldn't do it with the right personality.

Here is my worst cast - based on the Studios trying to tie into other franchises to boost box office.

Mal - Keifer Sutherland - Jack's back, he has a spaceship and the universe, but he is still tortured and alone.

Zoe - Pam Grier - Did I mention Whedon is out and Tarantino is in?

Kaylee - Pam Anderson She's a sexcrazed former tool time girl.

Book - William Shatner - He is a man with a past - or is it a future?

Jayne - John Travolta - It's the Tarantino thing again.

Inara - Julia Roberts - Of course, "Pretty Women" in space. Wait a minute - Richard Gere for Mal? Brilliant!

Simon - George Clooney - ER was never the same without him - Dr. Ross in space.

Wash - Jeff Gordon - California quirky NASCAR driver with a spaceship - lets fill drive ins all over the South

River - Dakota Fanning - Doesn't she have to be in everything? Plus she's box office gold!

Some Random Guy Who Gets Shot - Harry Whittington

Also, everyone has a pet husky



See how I'm not punching him, I think I've grown!

Vaguely plausible (therefore truly frightning) BIG-budget cast

Mal: Harrison Ford
Zoe: Halle Berry
Wash: Val Kilmer (Would you classify that as a launch problem?)
Inara: Angelina Jolie
Jayne: Vin Diesel
Kaylee: Drew Barrymore
Book: Morgan Freeman
Simon: Johnny Depp
River: Milla Jovovich
Badger: Eddie Izzard
Crow: The Rock
Niska: Donald Sutherland
YoSafBridge: Charlize Theron

Figure, just hiring this cast would put the movie at least double the budget without having shot a single frame of film or built a set or anything... ;)
