8DaysAGeek.com casts The New Gods.

In this casting I decided I wanted to try and keep it semi realistic, affordable, and entertaining, So I casted most of the New Gods, not all but most, let's start!

Filed Under: Fan Fic

Highfather - Christopher Plummer


The demanding presence of Plummer would be great in the role of the leader of New Genesis

Orion - Dominic Purcell

Orion is a two sided character, he is a great hero but has the tendencies to become an evil villain, Purcell has shown us both sides and would do well as Highfathers adopted son of Apokolips

Big Barda and Mr.Miracle - Lucy Lawless and Simon Barker

Barda is a statuesque warrior maiden and Mr.Miracle is a problem solving genius, these two are just reprising old roles

Oberon - Phil Fondacaro

I wanted the most bad ass little person on the planet to play Oberon, and Phil from great movies like Willow and Ghoulies 2 is a bad assery in a tiny package

Darkseid - Michael Ironside

So he has the voice and stature I believe makeup will do the rest

Desaad - Brad Dourif

He basically already played the role in LOTR so he would do well

Kalibak - Michael Clark Duncan

I wanted Kalibak big, scary, and with a killer voice, MCD is all those things and more

Granny Goodness - Pam Ferris

I agree, Kathy Bates is good for this role, but what about the evil teacher from Matilda and the bitchy aunt who blows up in Harry Potter, I think she's just as good

Lashina - Fala Chen

Fala Chen knows how to fight, and I thought I could add a little diversity to the cast by making Lashina of an Asian decent, it works.

Mad Harriet - Fairuza Balk

Mad Harriet is the most unstable of the Furies, and no one does unstable quite as well as Vicky Valencourt herself, Fairuza Balk.

Stompa - Sara Ramirez

Okay, Stompa is the fat chick, but hey people like fat girls, so I found one of the most beautiful bigger girls around, Sara Ramirez for this part

Gilotina - Diane Kruger

My least favorite of the furies, but important none the less, the subtle beauty of Kruger would be put to good use with the sword wielding Gilotina

Bernadeth - Embeth Davidtz

Basically Granny Goodness's personal bitch, I just needed someone with that school matron look

Metron - Peter Fonda

One of my favorite New Gods is Metron, why? well two words SUPER CHAIR, Fonda would make this role his bitch as the super intelligent Metron

Knockout - Christina Hendricks

The Beautiful buxom Hendricks would fill Knockouts huge ... shoes... well.

Big Bear - Tyler Labine

Everyone loves a big guy, and the cheerful Big Bear even scores with Beautiful Dreamer, your Weklcome Tyler

Beautiful Dreamer - Meagan Fox

Let's face it Fox can't act very well, but she can stand around and look hot, which is perfect for the Forever People's resident hottie

Mark Moonrider - Trevor Morgan

not much to really go on here, Mark is a Forever Person, and I like Trevor Morgan, he was in Jurassic Park 3 as the kid remember

Serifan - Matt Long

Although Immortal Space Cowboy sounds like the coolest thing ever, Serifanis suprisingly not so cool, I put Matt Long in this role, maybe he can do better than Ghost Rider

Vykin the Black - Brandon T Jackson

this kid is an up and comer who could play the role of the Forever People's token black character

Infinity Man - George Eads

The ultra powerful friend to the Forever People is a perfect role for the very superheroish looking George Eads

Black Racer - Omar Epps

I needed intensity and athleticism for this role, Epps oozes both

Lightray - Topher Grace

this guy is always smiling, he's Orions buddy and the ladies love him, Topher is much more suited for this role than Venom

Forager - Molly Parker

I like female Forager more than male Forager, so with that I wanted a skinny actress who could wear lots of makeup, don't get much skinner than Molly, plus she's not half bad

Fastbak - John Hawkes

Sorry but I think Fastbak is kinda lame, so I put a funny and good actor into his goofy costume

Himon - Jim Carter

Besides having the funniest name of the New Gods Himon is kind of a lame side character, with that being said Jim Carter could do this role in his sleep

Bekka - Taylor Cole

Other than being Orions hot wife Bekka hasn't done much in the New Gods universe, oh well any excuse for boobs

Mantis - Thomas Kretschmann

This guy is intense, he's played a Nazi more than once and can do berserker really well, a perfect fit for the bug man of Apokolips

Steppenwolf - Mark Harelik

not an awsome 80's hairband at all, this guy is Darseids favorite Assassin, Harelik is one of those actors who scream make me a bad guy, so I put two and two together

Kanto - Alessandro Nivola

Kanto is the Suave weapons dealer, and Allesandro has the acting chops to play this otherwordly arms dealer

Virmin Vundabar - Leon Rippy

although his name sounds like a delicious German candy bar made of rats, Vundabar is actually the military of Apokolips leader, Leon Rippy seems like he could play a creepy man in charge

Glorious Godfrey - William H Macy

I know Godfrey should be a little better looking, but I went with the most churchiest actor I could find, can't you see this guy as the super loyal space televangelist?

Mokkari - W Earl Brown

Mokkari and Simyan are buddies and lackeys of Darkseid, so I put character actor Brown into the demented shoes of Mokkari

Simyan - Jeff Daniel Phillips

A very obscure character played by everyone's favorite insurance selling caveman, he already has the makeup it's an easy cast

Devilance - CGI W/Fred Tatasciore voice

Fred Tatasciore has an awesome voice for Devilance, CGI will do the rest

@peterparker I know she can't act, all she has to do for this role is look hot, it's what she's good at,

Has anyone ever seen How to lose friends and alienate people? I suggest for a date night, Fox actually was okay in that role, Plus actors from, Star Trek, Wolverine, Iron Man, Transformers, Spiderman, Smallville, and X-Files are all in it, it may have the most geek cred ever.
