Dark Paladin's Yu-Gi-Oh! Dimension
Yugioh: Live Action Movie 3 (Doom Saga)
Casting Call!
3.23.05

Hello again to Pojo and Yugioh fans one and all!

Today, I'm going to retouch a topic that another great writer for Pojo, by the name of Pook, talked about nearly a year ago. Pook, if you read this, I hope you don't mind, but I loved the article, so I'm making the triquel. (Triquel since Pook already did a Sequel)

This movie takes place in the Doom and Orichalcos Saga, so we'll need to do some casting.

Main Characters:

Yugi/Yami Moto: Now, Haley Joel Osment is a great choice, and I almost wanted to stick with that. But I have someone else in mind. Erik Per Sullivan from Malcolm in the Middle. He's 15 and he can do a great Yugi Moto. He might have a bit of a hard time doing the serious Yami side, but I think it would work.

Joey Wheeler: I had to put a lot of thought into this one. Take this though, Ashton Kutcher, and I am DEAD seriouis. From That 70's Show, Punked, many movies, etc. He's a bit older, but could be a great Joey. Not all that bright, a blit clumsy, but determined and loyal to his friends.

Seto Kaiba: Now, this one even though it may seem like a stretch, is a good choice I think--Devon Sawa. We haven't heard from him in a while but he's got it. The height, the attitude, and he can have the love for Mokuba. He'd pull off a cold hearted millionaire. He's a bit older but has the look.

Tea Gardner: How about...Lindsay Lohan? She's the right age approximately, and she is cute. I was going to pick Hillary Duff as a tie, since they both can pull off the cheerleader/support act but Lohan already has the red/brown hair.
:)

Tristan Taylor: I was thinking David Gallagher, from 7th Heaven for this one.
He is 19, so he's a bit older, but I really don't see it as a big problem. He doesn't quite look that old.

Mai Valentine: Going along with Pook (and my love of Alias) Jennifer Garner, Alias herself. She is a bit older, but that's ok, since Mai is older then the rest anyway. She for sure has the attitude, and it would be done.

Villans--

Dartz: So many GOOD people to choose from...but, what about William Shatner?
He is old enough, definately crazy enough, and could easily pull off the whacko super villan in his sleep.

Raphael: Not to be cheesy, but this one HAS to, HAS to be Arnold the Govenator.
He's got the massive build and is headstrong already. He seems the natural choice. However, a close second would be Sylvester Stalone, a.k.a. Rocky.

Valon: This was probably the hardest one for me to do and this is a bit of a stretch, but can you ladies see Orlando Bloom doing a stunning Valon? He's got the look and can pull off the accent. I think this is a good choice in the end.

Alister: Part of me REALLY wanted to say Dennis Rodman and if you think about it, you see why.

Others:

Rex and Weevil: As Pook said before, their parts are still small, so could be anyone.

Pegasus: Even he wouldn't have to be big, since we only see him in the beginning and the end of the saga.

Grandpa: Karate Kid indeed, but the movie could be made without him.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this extremely silly article. Please, no hate mail and don't flip out. This was entirely for fun, and wasn't to offend. Any positive feedback you have would be appreciated. I'll eventually talk about the plot and what not.

You stay classy, Planet Earth :)
