Obviously, nothing like this should ever be attempted, but I was wondering if there were any celebrities that the forum could see portraying Futurama characters. This idea was spawned when I was looking at a Simpsons fansite and they listed their "ultimate" Simpsons Live Action Movie cast list (they had Keanu Reeves as Smithers). Once again, I don't endorse making Futurama or The Simpsons into a live-action film, but do you think there are people who could pull off certain characters? As a side note, I was just watching "Twister" and noticed how good Helen Hunt looks in a tank top, so she's got my vote for Leela. Take this topic with a grain of salt.

Hey, he/she said that he/she does'nt endorse making them into live action.
Either Tom Jones or one of the Bee Gees could be Disco Stu.

How could Billy West play Fry, Farnsworth, and Brannigan? Not to mention Katie Segal looks nothing like Leela.

The same way Eddie Murphy played every character in The Nutty Professor 1&2

How about Angelina Jolie? (Maybe we have to poke one of her eyes out though)

A) Angelina Jolie is nasty B) Jeri Ryan's bustline is more like Leela's and it's not padded, either.

Why live action though? It'd be better making the movie the way the show was created, as a cartoon. That's my two-cents anyway. I just can't see anybody live accurately playing cartoon characters.

Meh, I don't find Heather Graham all that attractive either.

I don't like the idea of Heather Graham at all. She's... dirty and hookerish. Leela shouldn't be that way.

For Fry, use Ron Howard and make sure Hairbot takes care of his bald spot.
Leela: I dunno, any woman with a ponytail and a latex mask over their eyes.
Bender: leave it up to Industrial Lights and Magic.
Amy: Lucy Liu, and try to make her look different than her head-in-a-jar. If that fails, any chinese-american girl will work.
Zoidberg: Once again, leave it up to ILM.
Hermes: I dunno... teach Busta Rhymes to talk like a Jamaican or something.
Prof: Maybe get some guy in his 40s and add aging effects...
Nibbler: ILM.

I like the idea for Angelina Jolie to playe as Leela. she got the boddie for Lara so that might work for Leela.
Fry: Brendan Fraser, he's cute to play Fry. Bender: tough choice, but I go with Jim Carry, you don't need SE to be Bender, check out The Grinch Amy: Lucy Liu

Leela's bra doesn't look like it's been padded.

Originally posted by Kryten: My choices (Kristin Kreuk, Keiko Agena, and Linda Park) are better.
Of the three I'd go with Linda Park. Speaking of ST actress, I think Michelle Krusiec would be a good choice too.

What are you people talking here is WIDELY popular in Japan and in some other countries. They call it "cosplay" (costume play) - they even have parties of these. Mainly it's people around 18-22 and they dress like videogame characters (there were alot of great and good photos of cosplays of the King of Fighters fighting game for example). These people mostly do their outfit by themselves, spending shitloads of money on their costumes. But pro cosplayers rule.
And who the hell will be, for example portraying Dr. Zoidberg? Or even worse, Prof. Farnsworth? =)

Zoidy could be portrayed by any middle-aged chubby man with a decent costume. Radio-control the mouth feelers and you're set.

(common sarge you can back me up ) Are there no old actors anymore? why would you age a 40 year old? thats the weirdest thing i've heard all hour.
