Kevlar Bead:
Get the Books
- Good thing GG Allin wasn't a pro cyclist. Spectators would have to prep like they were going to a Gallagher show. The worst kind.
Definitely Owen Wilson for Yehuda.
I like Owen Wilson for Yehuda as well.
Charize Theron for Sister Sprocket
Maybe Taraj Henson for Thistle
Steve Buscemi for Joe
Elisha Cook would have made an excellent Fred, but he’s dead too. Bob Balaban.
Yehuda – Johnny Dep
Joe – Tommy Lee Jones
Thistle – Wanda Sykes
Sister Sprocket – Cameron Diaz
Fred – Andy Griffith
Fiz – Dora Explorer
Sweetroll – Samuel Jackson
Kevlar – Ryan Gosling
Since Andy Griffith has passed on, how about Brian Doyle Murray as Fred?
Halle Berry as Thistle
Yehuda Moon:Robin Williams.
Joe King:An HONEST version of Dabney Coleman’s 9 to 5 role.
Thistle Gin: Jennifer Lopez, or the girlfriend from Premium Rush.
Sister Sprocket: The lead from Legally Blonde.
Fred Banks:Patrick Steward.
Fizz Ginn:Someone who can sing Its a Good Ship Lollypop well. (Curly Sue, but she has grown up).
Sweetroll: The hyper announcer from The Fifth Element.
Kevlar Bead:The Vancouver guy leading the buyout in the movie RV.
I think you mean Patrick Stewart.
Let me change Sweet Roll. The announcer in The Fifth Element had no sneakiness. We need Passenger 57. He was sneaky.
Yehuda Moon: Robin Williams (a little younger than he is now)
Joe King:
Thistle Gin: Halle Berry
Sister Sprocket: Hillary Swank
Fred Banks: ?
Fizz Ginn: ?
Sweetroll: Chris Rock
Kevlar Bead: Matt Damon
Yehuda Moon: Joaquin Phoenix
Joe King: Hank Azaria
Thistle Gin: Gabrielle Union or Zoe Saldana
Sister Sprocket: Emma Stone
Fred Banks: Bobke
Fizz Ginn: I would suggest an open casting call, and cast an unknown
Sweetroll: Wayne Brady
Kevlar Bead: Bradley Cooper
Joe- Kurtwood Smith (That 70′s show dad)
Kevlar- Greg Kinnear
Thistle- Zoe Saldana
Sprocket – Kristin Whig
Like the others suggestion of Owen Wilson as Yehuda
Yehuda Moon: James Franco
Joe King: Joe Lo Triglio
Thistle Gin: Salma Hayek
Sister Sprocket: Reese Witherspoon
Fred Banks: Eli Wallach
Fizz Ginn: MacKenzie Foy
Sweetroll: Ludacris
Kevlar Bead: Chris Pine
MacKenzie Foy is a little old to play Fizz. She’s almost 12.
Yehuda: Franco is a very good suggestion! But Grant hidden under a hat and beard would be funniest.
Joe: Kurtwood Smith: perfect.
Thistle: Zoe Deschanel
SS: Charlize. It’s perfect. Or the mom from modern family.
Fizz: No idea.
Kevlar: Greg Kinnear. Absolutely.
The Cell-phone kid: That guy from Juno. Even though he’s older, he’d be awesome.
ps. Fred: Computer animation. Of course.
Kevlar Bead – Aaron Eckhart
Yehuda: Aaron Eckhart, Johnny Miller
Joe: Robert Picardo
Thistle Gin: Thandie Newton, Michelle Obama
Sister Sprocket: Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon
Fred Banks: Max Gail
Fizz Ginn:
Sweetroll: Michael Ealy, Don Cheadle
Kevlar Bead: Greg Kinnear, Ryan Gosling
Actually, Lea Thompson for SS
Yehuda:Bearded Brad Pitt http://estb.msn.com/i/55/F0BAC57A36CE5B4969535F2BF14D0.jpg
(He should do like the pot head character from True Romance)
Joe: Adam Carolla or Stanley Tucci
Sister Sprocket: Someone already had the perfect Cameron Diez for this one
Thistle: Rashida Jones (from Parks and Rec)
Fred: Larry David
Fizz: any kid
Sweetroll: Sam jackson
Kevlar: I like the Aaron Eckhart suggestion
I’d like to point out how old all of us are. All of our choices only get roles as “the parents” in modern comedies.
Yehuda Moon: Zach Galifianakis
Joe King: Todd Barry
Thistle Gin: Rashida Jones
Sister Sprocket: Emma Stone
Fred Banks: Richard Dreyfuss
Fizz Ginn: There are no famous toddlers of the appropriate age. Casting call.
Sweetroll: Don Cheadle
Kevlar Bead: Owen Wilson
