If We're Alive became a T.V. Show

[Craneses]

Say it was to become a tv show.

What cast do you think should be on the show, should it be the original voice actors or someone best suited for the role?

Post your thoughts here.

[Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo]

keep the voice actors, i would be super hyped if anything film or tv happened though

[Destiny]

The voice actors :P

But seriously I'd get some hot chicks to play the women in the series. Cast in there Hayley Williams and Susan Coffey.

[SleepyGlenn]

For some reason when I think of Kalani I think of Patrick Gallagher who played that Football coach from Glee.

[nikvoodoo]

Sad to say, in Mr. Gleason's own words, he wouldn't be suited visually for the role. You could of course edit the details to suit the appearances of the original cast, but if it were to be made into a TV show, a movie, or basically anything but an animated series/movie backed by any major producing company you'd probably be forced to recast. And most likely be forced to cast a name....

...Odds are Johnny Depp would end up playing Michael....he's in everything these days...

[mascaria]

For some reason when I think of Kalani I think of Patrick Gallagher who played that Football coach from Glee.

But with grey hair.

[Onslaught]

Keep the voice actors, although some of them probably wouldn't look right for the role, and if it was edited to look better I don't think it would work out very well.

[Craneses]

Matthew Fox who played Jack Sheppard on Lost or Wentworth Miller who played Michael Scofield on Prison Break could easily be Angel or Michael.

Haha Wentworth could totally be the Tattooed Zombie as well.

[Ra1th]

Wow this was a rly cool idea, cause i always do this in my mind, with books and stuff, where i'll have pictures of the person i imagine as the character. but i thought i was a nutcase for doing so, so i never brought it up.

oh and i disagree, if ur gonna do a tv show, kick off the voice actors, im sorry but they were chosen for their voices, if u want to have a successful tv show u have to put pretty people on the cover otherwise the ppl wont watch. It sucks but thats the society we live in.

Jude Law has been my version of Angel (and ever since the war, i've always imagined angel wearing a suit so this works out for me anyway)

http://turbo.inquisitr.com/wp-content/jude-law1.jpg

uhhh this is a french actress named marion cotillard, so i figured she could make a good riley.

http://s4.hubimg.com/u/191007_f248.jpg

theres only one man who can ever play Burt, and that would be the one, the only CLINT EASTWOOD, except maybe he'd be a little younger.

http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/gran-torino-trailer.jpg

Allyson Hannigan might make a good Peggs

http://sexynerd.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/alyson-hannigan-wispy-bangs.jpg

and any hot blonde actress could be Lizzy

[Ra1th]

Matthew Fox who played Jack Sheppard on Lost or Wentworth Miller who played Michael Scofield on Prison Break could easily be Angel or Michael.

Haha Wentworth could totally be the Tattooed Zombie as well.

wow the guy from prison break would make an awesome michael!

[nikvoodoo]

http://www.onlygoodmovies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/michael-jai-white.jpg

Michael Jai White is my vote for Durai. He played Cambol in Dark Knight, but for a meatier role in his past he also played Spawn.

[Ra1th]

im all for him as durai, but on a tv show, i think it would be pretty cool if they kept his face hidden for as long as possible to add to the mystery of the character

Destiny, try to find smaller pictures and post less links. Just a suggestion.

You know, I was thinking the Old Spice Guy too, but I decided to swerve...I was also watching the Dark Knight at the time so that might have helped me make my decision.

I think Sam Jackson would do the Durai rage so well, but for some reason I can't hear him being the calm in control Durai. I know I would buy it completely as soon as he got angry.

Here's a shot in the dark for Burt:
http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/ld/brian_dennehy_2_070111/brian_dennehy_3158814.jpg
Brian Dennehy anyone?

[I The K Train I]

Kelly - Jewel Staite
http://www.cryosites.com/shared/img/j/jewel_staite_2jf7b.jpeg

Perfect! I don't think I could think of a better fit for Kelly. Jewel would be awesome! While on the possibility of Stargate characters being in a We're Alive TV Show. I think that Joe Flanigan (http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,flanigan.jpg) would be a great Michael.

I think that Adam Baldwin (http://manginamonologues.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/adam-baldwin1.jpg?w=413&h=599), with a bit of a make over of course would be a great burt. He has the right attitude and range for it. Just needs a white beard and a small bit of a gut (probably not required as character development would change in a TV adaptation).

[eraesir]

I like Brian Dennehy as Burt. He fits in body size wise with what I imagine Burt to look like, and can definitely be just a crotchety. I dont think anyone has mentioned them yet but I think Jake and Maggie Gyllenhall (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1141283584/nm0787601) for Latch and Scratch would be interesting. Obviously they are actually brother and sister, and they both have good acting chops. I think with short hair and a giant scar Maggie could be a right bitch. I always imagined them as suburban white kids then Scratch went off the deep end, and Latch got caught up in it.

[Craneses]

He's on a horse.
Lmfao, yes.

Yeah that's true, you need the type of Morgan Freeman calm mixed with Sam's rage.

How could I forget Adam Baldwin! He would be perfect!

Also for Kelly, anyone think of Marin Hinkle (http://img1.tvloop.com/img/showpics/7a/6b/l351c107f0000_1_16340.jpg) from two and a half men?

[I The K Train I]

Also for Kelly, anyone think of Marin Hinkle (http://img1.tvloop.com/img/showpics/7a/6b/l351c107f0000_1_16340.jpg) from two and a half men?

If she could do a damn good French accent, she would be Riley in a heartbeat for me. She has that Riley look about her I think.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

LOL@the Saul theories.
Peter Mensah as Durai
Donald Faison or Marlon Wyans as Saul
Seth Rogan as Angel
Channing Tatum as Michael
Ali Larter.. wait, Jessica Biel as Lizzy
Frieda Pinto as Riley
that emo chick from Twlight as Peg (i want her to die, die, die...)

[nikvoodoo]

I'd love to see Michael Cera as Tommy just so I can see him jump down a flaming stair case.

Anybody have casting ideas for Ink or Behemoths? Ink would definitely have to be a person. Behemoths could be CGI I suppose.

LOL seth rogen as angel?

The scrubs guy would make an awesome saul tho!

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Yep.. Seth as Angel. He plays a great Ass. That's how Angel started out and he's clumsy. If Seth doesn't look clumsy i don't know who does. Here's the other side of that coin... Angel is kinda funny in an understated way when he's stressed.

When I think of Kalani, I think of http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0740535/

[Craneses]

I randomly rewatched a couple episodes of lost. Started wondering....

Jack = Michael
Kate = Pegs (
Hurley = Kalani
Sawyer = Angel
Sayid = Datu
Claire = Riley
John Locke = Burt
Charlie = Saul
Michael = Kelly (lol)
Walt = Tommy

Probably not the same background story, but characteristics maybe?

haha it goes onn. just a thought!

Is the dog(animal) Lady or Mr. Whiskers? Who's the Jack's dad? I don't why I would like answers to these questions... Maybe its just the Lost vibe affecting me.

[idi0tninja]

I saw the photos of the voice actors and they are who i picture when listening to the podcast. Except Michael (Sorry Mr. Gleason), I picture him as Guy Pearce.
After seeing The Fighter and listening episode 10, i think Amy Adams would be a perfect Samantha.

[Craneses]

Haha Lady could so be Vincent.

Not sure about Christian(Jack's dad) maybe in season 3 we'll find him! =P.

But Scratch and Latch could so be Boone and Shannon! ahah they even slept together lmaooo.

[Ra1th]

Sorry but sayid was way too much of a badass to be whiny ol datu cause every time he showed up on screen someone was gonna die hahaha

[Craneses]

Lmfao that's true.

at first i was like meh, and then i saw the green hornet, and now the idea is kinda growing on me hahaha

[Pteranodon]

I think the guy who plays Angel looks exactly like what I picture from his voice (except with an army crewcut)

I think Michael sounds like Kevin Sorbo....took me forever to figure out who he reminded me of. Am I alone in this? (Kevin Sorbo would be totally wrong for the part, though) Maybe the sherrif from Eureka would make a good Michael, if he were younger.

Bert should be Michael Ironside- because he should be in everything that's awesome! (Yeah, I know he's nothing like the guy who plays Bert now)

Lance Henrikson should be in it too....but he doesn't fit ANY of the characters, so they's have to make up a part for him. (cause Frank Black's THE MAN!!!)

Don't know who he'd play, but Malcolm Jamal Warner was awesome in Jeremiah- he fits the whole post-apocalypse survival genre. Couldn't see him as Michael or Angel tho...probably another new character on the TV show....

[mascaria]

Saul is black? Guess I've got no ear for ethnicity- he sounds white to me. But then I also picture Kalani as a blond guy with glasses.... And I thought Riley was Pakistani at first (used to work with a Pakistani girl who sounded just like her)

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

LOL@pteranodon! Kalani from... Hawaii= blonde? Saul white? Man, God bless you for your colorblindness.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Aaron Eckhart for the role of Michael. This guy does an outstanding job of playing the staff sergeant in Battle: LA. He would be a good fit.

Damond Wayans Jr. as Saul

Eesh. I'm not a fan of Damon Wayans Jr., or for that matter, any of the Wayan brothers. IMO, they are just the epitome of awful acting.


Kevin Smith as Kalani

Never even thought of using him. Wow. I think this one will have to develop in my mind. The problem I have is Kevin Smith comes off as lovable in all his roles, and so I would have a hard time seeing him playing someone who isn't liked by all.

[Yoyo]

I probably should read the last 9 pages but I want to suggest that instead of watching Live action show, how about a animated series instead so to keep the VA's around. I mean in japan the VA's make audio dramas for their respective series. So, how we do the opposite and keep them on board for animated series?

Feel free to tear me apart if this already been suggested.

Sad to say, in Mr. Gleason's own words, he wouldn't be suited visually for the role. You could of course edit the details to suit the appearances of the original cast, but if it were to be made into a TV show, a movie, or basically anything but an animated series/movie backed by any major producing company you'd probably be forced to recast. And most likely be forced to cast a name....

...Odds are Johnny Depp would end up playing Michael....he's in everything these days...

That would b a bit odd
Im not much of a fan of Depp (he can b a great actor but all his roles blur into one 4 me)
I would love 2 c it as an animation either realistic or not.

Odd or not, Hollywood follows a formula. Big Name Actor/Actress must be in just about everything. And Depp is in just about everything. I never said he'd fit well, I'm just saying he'd probably get cast as something......hmmm....maybe Skittles....

[TKD SNIPER]

Call Me crazy but i think Jim Carey would make a good skittles im not so much weighing him against other actors for the role but he does have a very thin almost starved body type... with a little makeup im thinking he could get pretty convincing. the other thing is he has played a lot of crazy and zainy characters, the only thing is i dont know if he would fit into the serious role, not because he lacks the skill, but people just wouldn't expect it and it might even take away from the story when they expect him to be funny and start complaining in the theater.

[Zombiehead]

Jim Carey has done and can play serious roles. Just not often. He might be a little too old to play Skittles though.


EDIT: Depp is too old to play Michael. Michael is in his late 20s. Depp is pushing 50.

The Voice actors should play their respective parts, with extra's as the zombies or other tower residents. It's only right that the people who do the voice acting play their physical roles in the T.V show (if it happens)

I don't think so. Just because your voice sounds one way, doesn't mean your appearance matches it.

[DeRose05]

I think they should go an animated route. Keep the voice actors and have animator Genndy Tartakovsky draw it. (the guy that did samurai jack) His style is like an animated 300. Dull colors and bright red blood.

Kc says the problem with animation is that the script is written specifically for audio only, so it would be extremely difficult to animate if not impossible. So they'd have to re-write all the scripts and start from scratch if they were to do an animated thing. They can't just add visuals to the audio that they already have

Only if they went a full animation route. They could do an animated comic book which is essentially just comic panels with limited animation. I've seen a couple movies done this style and enjoyed them.

However, generally that is a very limited audience.

[mascaria]

So are audio dramas ;)

[Ra1th]

So are audio dramas ;)

i'd say its even more limited.

animated comics suuuuuuck, if you're gonna do a comic, why not just do a normal comic, that would be nicer

[DeRose05]

im sure it would be a pain to animate it, but wouldnt a large studio be able to pull this off? If not, i do like mascarias suggestion on the comic book panels with limited animation.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

Graphic Novel... why not just write a full novel and do a viral campaign like the new Mortal Kombat series??
The only thing with translating the audio to vid is that all the voices and characteristics we love will change. I'll be the first one pissed off if Saul's character changes.
People will be saying "Angel...Burt doesn't sound like that!"

[j0be]

If you want to see why I think it's a bad idea for animated comic, look no further than the dead space animated series.

[mem]

i like the idea of it being done more like the walking dead is done. i dont read comics much anymore and only reference The Killing Joke graphic novel as what i think is great artwork. I can still tell the joke that the Joker tells Batman at the end of that one too. That and approx $.80 will buy me a coke(soda or pop) lol

[DeRose05]

yea you guys seen the Walking deads animated comic done for AMC? If not, have a look on youtube. Its animated enough to have someone talk and show action without having to change too much.

So what you're saying is Lizzy = Britney Spears?

[Tandem25]

Ok. Here's my list. Some of the ages and ethnicities may be a little off. But actors act and I think these people would be perfect.


Michael: James Roday
Angel: Colin Hanks
Saul: RonReaco Lee
Burt: Michael Parks - This one is tough. Maybe Isaac Hayes? Either could bring a lot to the role.
Lizzy: Yvonne Strahovski
Pegs: Allyson Hannigan - thanks jobe - good choice
Riley: Robin Tunney
Kelly: Aly Larter
Bill: David Alan Grier
Kalani: Artie Lang - so what that he's not Hawaiian. I'm casting this flick.
Datu: Aziz Ansari - same goes for Datu
Victor: Noel Gagliemi
Hope: Emma Stone
Tanya: Alfie Woodard
Durai: Ricardo Chavira
Latch: Kevin Alejandro
Scratch: Michelle Rodriguez
Pippin: Simon Baker
Marcus: Torn between Ray Liotta and Ed Norton
Gatekeeper: Ricky Gervais
Skittles: Jason Mewes
Ink: Dwayne Johnson

[Zombiehead]

So what you're saying is Lizzy = Britney Spears?
Until Lizzy shaves her head... no. But this chick can easily fake a blonde.

[Don Man]

Im sorry but no I would hate it if were alive was a tv show I love visualizing everything and the tv show would take that away from me

[Jackson Tibbetts]

i think honestly that we're alive were to become a TV show it should be animated. or the godfather of zombies GORGE A ROMERO to help direct the TV show or film.

[Tandem25]

I just realized who I see when Scratch talks. I had and image but I couldn't place it...
It's Duff.

Karen Duffy. The old MTV VJ.

Don't tell me I all alone here on this one.

[Mando]

I think all the actors look their role so I agree :)

[ghrantt]

I know and whatever else my brain cells can struggle to formulate. I do however picture 3 of them a certain way every time I hear them.
Scratch: Picture one of the girls from the Lost and the Damned artwork bandana, scary ill cut you with the razor hidden under my tongue eyes
Tar: Dr Venture (the college years but older)
Latch: Ricky from My So called Life

For some strange reason I can only picture Kalani as a 5x sweaty button up white dress shirt
Ghrantt

[Laura]

I think an animated show would be awesome, so they could keep the voice actors. Michael is the protagonist, and Jim Gleason just doesn't look like a young ex-Army guy. (He's said that himself.)

[Survivor]

It would be a drag. Don't know if anyone watching Walking Dead, but watched few episodes and cannot stand it. I think voice actors do much better job than tv actors. I think it's more thought through, it feels like you are actually there.

From commercial point of view, it would be great if we could purchase the cd's as digital copy with digital book in itunes. Hence internationally it's rather harder to order from USA,the taxes and postal is taking additional costs. Would love to buy novelties our souvenirs fridge magnets, iphone covers etc with the art from podcast.

[Survivor]

I am slightly absent minded at times, so I didn't notice for a long time that there is art for the podcast. So before I've seen art I imagined those as (and still do at times).
Please let me know what you think on my thoughts.

Michael - Average build, short messy hair, dark green eyes. Has a determined look, awkward once feelings are involved. His parent's died when he was young (?) so I picture his behaviour sometimes similar to Brennan Bones. - if he was ever described I don't think I paid attention. This applies to everyone.
Angel - Tall, dirty blond, blue eyes. Sometimes rolls eyes in annoyance, rarely breaks in smile, his movements are sudden when he driven by adrenalin and stiff when he is moody.
Saul - Wide forehead, shaved or almost bald, round face slightly flat, big mouth, large potato nose. Shorter than Michael, broad shoulders. He moves quickly and with an ease, almost like a cat. He probably one of those people that while talks gesticulates, but not as much as Italians do. He is rather emotional, but there is something calm about his touch. Maybe because he is kind.
Pegs – red or reddish hair, short, not chubby but definitely curvy. Chocolate eyes, button pug nose (hope this makes sense, can draw or photoshop if necessary). She doesn’t have a pale skin, on contrary it’s slightly tanned or just camel colour. She is very sudden, maybe too much at times. Impulsive and sensitive. Maybe she is not clumsy but definitely bumps a lot while moving, so might have bruises in odd places.
Riley – Olive skin, big almond eyes, pointy but well shaped long nose, normal thickness lips wide mouth. Her figure is more of an apple, wide shoulders as if she is a swimming athlete. She might be skinny, but because of her build you won’t say that. She is the same height as Michael. Thick dark hair, she might have hair on her arms too. He face is angled, maybe heavy chin – not too much just slightly. Which doesn’t make her very attractive in the classical sense. She moves normally for me, and doesn’t have any distinguish features.

- Will write more when will have time.

[ilanagl]

That's good. I bet Latch did look exactly like him.
@survivor all the descriptions are good except I imagine Riley being attractive.

[mascaria]

Jonathan Togo as Angel:

Angel is blond.

William Fichtner for Skittles.

I see him more as Michael. Remember him as the Delta Force operator Sanderson in Black Hawk Down? He was awesome in that role!

Great pick for Tanya!!

[Th3_T3ch]

I believe the Kevin Smith photo might have done Kalani justice when the Tower picked him up from the Arena, but now.... not so much. He said he has lost a lot of weight and by now he probably weighs somewhere around 220, and not 340ish.

I was watching Robin Hood (2010 Directed by Ridley Scott) and I think that Mark Strong, with the aid of makeup and computer technology, would make a perfect Paul/Inky.

He looks like a mix of Stanley Tucci and Andy Garcia doesn't he?

[timberwoof]

All pretty good picks.

[Lusimania]

I picture Burt as Clint Eastwood

[Magrat]

Seriously though, is there anything Mark Strong can't do?! I've been a fan of his for ages and he has yet to disappoint.

[ShezgottaSmilez]

Has anyone ever watched Firefly? I always thought the actress who plays Kaylee would be Pegs

[Nullifier]

I couldn't help thinking of Dale Turner (Erik Knudsen) from Jericho when Tommy was introduced to the show, probably because Tommy & Dale were both intelligent if vulnerable teenagers, I was looking forward to seeing Tommy's character progression & Tommy & Kelly could have been a constant source of antagonism ......Damn Zombies!

Oh yeah & I won't stand for anything less than a Live Action Show!

[Nullifier]

Has anyone ever watched Firefly? I always thought the actress who plays Kaylee would be Pegs
Ditto

[Nullifier]

Don't know if anyone watching Walking Dead, but watched few episodes and cannot stand it.

Each to his own I guess, I love the show, I'm usually quite pedantic when it comes to TV shows & will pick them apart for plot holes, I have no complaints where The Walking Dead is concerned.

[Damianjh]

After seeing what the actors look like it's hard to see them any other way especially Angel & Michael. However some looked as I imagined, esp. Saul, Riley & Pegs.

[Damianjh]

Saul should be Jamil Walker Smith (Greer from Stargate Universe)

Haaaaaaahahahaahahaaa!

[werewolf]

ROFLAO how true how true. you made me loose my train of thought. train wreck

[werewolf]

I don't see why the cast that made the parts great couldn't play their parts for a tv or film version. Maybe we all have this vision of what the people look like in our heads. That when we put the faces to the real person they don't always match in our heads. with the one exception to me is Hope (Jane *******). She looks like Hope to me as i see her in my mind.

[ClearSights]

This could be there on-screen acting debut for most of em!

I love the cast. They all do a great job of portraying their characters, but if it ever does become a T.V. show some of the cast might need to be recast due to the physicality of the roles as well as age (i.e. Mr. Gleason [sorry Mr. Gleason], and Mr. Oligario [sorry Jay, you're too young...unless they can do some makeup magic to add a few years on you]). Shane would also need to cut and dye his hair =P.

post of the century /clap

[werewolf]

how about having it made into a cartoon instead. then we would not have to replace the actors and actress.

[usmcludwig]

idk- my mind would like to see it as a graphic novel.

I'm American- I like pictures- what can I say.

I just get kinda sad at how things like "The Walking Dead" go from an epic graphic novel to so-so TV show due to all the filler and "ethnic boundaries" I am sure will pop up soon enough

But anyways- WA as a TV show- would be interesting to see- it certainly has all of the characteristics to be as great on TV as it is on podcast. I would actually prefer a series vs a movie, let the emotions stir up and all.

Hope KC is eventually pursued by someone with the idea :)

[7oddisdead]

And most of your above post luddy is what sucks a out the situation as a whole...w/a would make for a wonderful tv series a-la walking dead...but with walking dead already existing..the chances of that happening are slim and none. Also, if done now (or within lets say the next year or two)...most not familiar with the material would see it as a story riding on popularities coat tails...to me THIS story, is best suited for what it is right now...

[Zombiehead]

how about having it made into a cartoon instead. then we would not have to replace the actors and actress. I'd only watch it if it were done by pro anime artist.

[Travis Sutak]

i think the voice actor who plays riley would be suitable to play her in a film or tv show
2067

[Vlarken]

I think Andy Serkis would make a great Skittles. I've always imagined Jason Statham as Ink for some reason as well (that's probably a terrible idea, but....).

[Osiris]

Say it was to become a tv show.

What cast do you think should be on the show, should it be the original voice actors or someone best suited for the role?

Post your thoughts here.

I've got to put some serious consideration into this... but for now:

Scratch - Jenna McCombie (because I'd cast her in everything) but if she said no, Fairuza Balk.
Burt - George C. Scott
Kalani - Chris Farley or Kevin Smith


More to come.

[Vlarken]

Nevermind what I said earlier: Ron Perlman for Ink.

[viscera]

Riley> Shohreh Aghdashloo as Behrooz's mom from 24 2685

Helena Bonham Carter for Scratch anyone....?
