Breakfast Topic: Who would you cast for WoW Insider: The Movie?

Next up is J. K. Simmons as Adam Holisky. After mastering both J. Jonah Jameson and Cave Johnson, I think he can take on Holisky. Third in line our favorite hunter columnist. I'm going to take a chance and say that Michele Marrow should play Frostheim. Sure, we'd have to rewrite the part for her, but I bet Michele Marrow could get him down pat.
Now, if we're talking about absolute dream casting here, when I think of Fox Van Allen and Tyler Caraway there are only two people that come to mind. Fox would have to be played by Walter Matthau, and Tyler by Jack Lemmon.
More choices after the break.
Robin Torres would be played by Felicia Day, a multitasking extraordinaire.
Mat McCurley would be played by Bill Murray, Ghostbusters I & II era. If Mat hasn't been Dr. Peter Venkman for at least one Halloween, I'll be sad.
Allison Robert would be played by Bart the Bear. That's right, Allison would be played by an actual bear.
Alex Ziebart would be played by Mandy Patinkin, known for his role as Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride. Quiet, yet not someone you mess with. (Editor's note: Dead Like Me also shows Patinkin handing out death assignments, surprisingly similar to our job as editors.)
Michael Gray would be played by Robert Downey, Jr. Rugged, handsome, and able to do a lot of different things.
Anne Stickney would be played by Natalie Portman. Portman has been in a new movie every six weeks this year. Anne does so many podcasts, she makes Portman look lazy.
Christian Belt would be played by Samuel L. Jackson. Have you seen how many warlock columnists he's taken out? He is one B.A.M.F.!
Sarah Nichol would be played by Lily Allen. Allen hasn't acted before, but she is not afraid to say what she thinks!
Liz Harper would be played by Ellen McLain, who was the voice of GLaDOS and the turrets in Portal and Portal 2. If you say its when you mean it's, SHE WILL END YOU.
Who do you think should play your favorite blogger? Susan Sarandon as Lisa Poisso? Should Neil Patrick Harris play Mike Sacco? He'd have to work on the hair, though. Who should play the community regulars, like Orkchop, Cutaia, Amaxe, Grovin, MattK, and even the long-lost troll Vlad?
I'm leaving those open to you.

BRIAN BLESSED should play Matt Rossi. Not so much for the voice as for the beard.
Also: Neil Patrick Harris should totally play Fox Van Allen. ^_^
Rezai Jun 20th 2011 8:04AM
Chuck Norris as Sacco's Beard
razion Jun 20th 2011 9:01AM
I think you've confused Sacco's Hair with Rossi's Beard. :(
MattKrotzer Jun 20th 2011 9:23AM
Due to Hollywood casting practices and bad studio oversight, Matt Rossi and Mike Sacco have been rolled into one character for the purposes of this film.
Orkchop Jun 20th 2011 9:46AM
Chuck Norris, dual wielding Thunderfury, as Mike Sacco. If you follow Sacco on twitter, you know he can troll trade chat better than anyone.

I'm lost. Who are the two people in the picture above??
Orkchop Jun 20th 2011 3:00PM
It's Michele Morrow (who is an actress as well as a hunter) and Frostheim, the hunter columnist.
Revnah Jun 20th 2011 8:18AM
A young Cate Blanchett should play Dawn Moore. She could totally pull off the kick-ass priestlyness (is that a word??) :-D
Dawn Moore Jun 20th 2011 8:39AM
Phew, I thought I was completely forgettable.
I'm not sure I deserve to have Cate play me. In the Circle of Healing Podcast movie (where Kinaesthesia teaches Dawn Moore to dance) I cast myself as Mila Kunis, since she's both racially ambiguous and spunky. =)
Revnah Jun 20th 2011 8:50AM
All right, then ;-)
I forgot something!! Frostheim should of COURSE be played by John Rhys-Davies. I mean, he's played a dwarf before, it's a no-brainer!
Orkchop Jun 20th 2011 9:43AM
I had heard a certain Shadow Priest recommend Megan Mullally to play Dawn Moore.
Dawn Moore Jun 20th 2011 10:06PM
Hmm, like that casting choice for Frost.
But Michelle Mullally is the age of my dad o-O;
Sir SpankalotUK Jun 20th 2011 8:18AM
I don't know but Brian Blessed would be in the cast somewhere
lethian Jun 20th 2011 8:25AM
For Frost, this is pretty cliche, but, id go with John Rhys-Davies. He not only has played a dwarf but Ive seen him in movies here and there where he played characters that could fit Frost's persona. :D
Luotian Jun 20th 2011 9:22AM
But that would make Frost happy, and Blizzard has made it very clear to all of us that that would end the universe.
Zenith Jun 20th 2011 8:31AM
A but off topic, but this made me think about it and now I can't bit read the rest of this in a Morgan Freeman voice
MattKrotzer Jun 20th 2011 8:33AM
I'm still wondering who would play the crucial roles of Cutaia and Grovinofdarkhour, without whom the comments section of WoW Insider would be a much colder place.
MattKrotzer Jun 20th 2011 8:47AM
Grovin's tough, since we have NO idea what he looks like... so I'm going to say Steve Buscemi, because he's got that look of bewilderment that Grovin sometimes seems to have, as well as the chops for the wiseass remarks and comments.
Cutaia, I'm going to go with Javier Bardem. Just because this picture kinda has the same head-tilt.

Gotta be Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets :D
MattKrotzer Jun 20th 2011 9:22AM
I think that'd be more like me and Grovin. Cutaia's generally more positive than those two... (Not to say he doesn't have some fine zingers from time to time...)
