Who should star in The Rookie (the movie)?

Pretend for a moment the movie version of The Rookie is in the works. If you were casting actors for the parts in the book, who would you want to see on the screen and in which role?

We need a really big guy!

Nathan Jones, He's a little old (39) but he's got the size (6'11) and built like a tank.

Take a look - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/

I just realized something

Twowire's picture

While Nathan would work for either Perry or Magnus he would not work so well for Quentin Barnes. The reason being most of the players are quite large in the Rookie. Thus all the cast would have to be fairly large also. Vin would work as he and the rest cast would have to be of similar size.

Nathan could be Mum-o-Kilowe

VIN DIESEL

floridagirl99k's picture
Yes, that big black dude from The Green Mile would definitely have to be in the movie as someone, but I think Vin Diesel would make a kick ass Quentin.  (just one womans opinion)

This count up is exciting.

OMG!

I've never seen Foamy before, I FUCKING love him now!!!

If the FDO had a pet (besides his dogs) it should be Foamy!! 


Ahh, Great minds enjoy Foamy!

[brood en brood met brood ertussen] - My Mothers famous answer to whats for dinner!

Indeed.

Hey, be sure to check out "Tech Support!" You'll laugh so hard your ass will crack. Gmork, I'm glad to have shared a little "squirrelly wrath" with one of my favorite folks!

The better half and I laughed our behinds off at every one we watched.


That's not an hour lost...

Best toons

Shadygirl's picture
Some of the best toons are not available on the site anymore. Some of the DVDs are worth checking out. He puts out a new episode about every two weeks. Foamy always says the things that most people thing, but don't actually say out loud.

Darn!

Gmork's picture

I saw the DVD's for sale ...my credit card already has groves on it from so much use...looks like I'll be abusing it again, for Foamy DVD's *squee*

 

Re: he says what everyone thinks...the rant about Starbucks coffee hit home.  I totally agree with the purple, angry squirrel on that!!


Favorites

Shadygirl's picture
One of my favs is either "Foamy's rant 2" or it was number 3. I will have to wait until we get our dvds back to see for sure. He talks about kids in restaurants. It is hilarious!

Tricky bastard

For that quote specifically check out "Small, medium, large".

Ahh, I agree!

Tall, Grande or Venti. All misnomers to lull you into thinking your getting more than you are. Tricky Bastards!, Down right Tricky!

I'm so pathetic.

JP's picture
I even have a t-shirt and a 16 ounce coffee mug with Foamy's likeness on them... I think he could petition the ELoE and get in.

Uh, I'm asking this question for a friend

Twowire's picture

Where can I, uh I mean, my friend get those?

[brood en brood met brood ertussen] - My Mothers famous answer to whats for dinner!


Your "friend" can find foamy

Shadygirl's picture
Your "friend" can find foamy stuff on two different sites. http://www.cafepress.com/illwillpress and http://www.illwillpress.com/shop.html Beware the squirrely wrath!

"I'm going to show him what a little girls made of, gunpowder and lead" - Miranda Lambert


Please tell your "friend"

JP's picture
that he (or she!) has nothing to be ashamed of. Foamy is the FDS (Future Dark Squirrel).

Mopook, I think Steve Buchemi

cowboykeesee60's picture

not gonna lie i was thinking the same thing lol

 

WOAH!  


I'll tell you who shouldn't play Q. Barnes.

JP's picture
I'll put this right out there for everyone to chew on: Keanu Reeves should not play Barnes. Even though he's done a football movie before, and Sci Fi, he's way too dopey to play Barnes.

Not to mention

Way undersized!

Hey...

JP's picture
Isn't "dood" actually spelled "dhood?" And yes, the "j" is silent, like in swimming and kangaroo.
