ITT: Post the worst miscasts in television & film adaptations

>>215297666 (OP)
How is this even a miscast? Who would you have play Zelda instead?

>>215297893
Go to a random middleschool and pick one of the blonde theatre girls. That's literally all it would take.

>>215297893
He's trying to bait rational but naive people like you into responding to his thread for extra (You)s. Next he'll say it should have been that tranny who got humiliated.

>>215297937
???? I'm 37, I can't do that

Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft
Sophie Turner as Lara Croft

>>215297848
>shoulda done it sooner
>should not have done a prequel story
>should have been Nathan Fillion or someone like that
>for Sully... I dunno maybe a Burt Reynolds type or Bruce Campbell or someone fitting that mold

>>215298035
thats a good one.

>>215298035
I've seen many strange things already, bloody wolves chasing me through some blue inferno.

>>215297820
imagine they had cast the Abby actress as Ellie and vice versa

>>215297666 (OP)
She cute, but...

What happened to wholesome?

Post it

>>215297820
That is the best recent example.

Worse yet, it was a recast

>>215297666 (OP)
Rebecca Ferguson was a miscast in a rare way. She had TOO MUCH sexual chemistry and tension with the actor playing her son.

>>215299824
She has that energy with everyone. How do you think she married a man considerably younger than her?

>>215298421
damn that's good

>>215297666 (OP)
That's just 90% of roles from the past 10 years.

>>215299861
I doubt that if you put Rebecca Ferguson and I in the same room, that there would be mutual sexual energy between us.

>>215297666 (OP)
That is a ridiculous question considering last decade of movies.

>casting 2 british actors as the leads
It was for the best. Whether the writing or the film itself will be any good, who knows.

I feel like I'm alone in this but I hated him as Jon Snow. And he was my favorite character in the books. Even just on looks alone he was a terrible choice, considering he was supposed to look most like Ned out of all the Stark children.

>>215300189
My recollection from the books is that Jon Snow is implied to look to be a teenage Brandon in all the good ways, a Stark through-and-through, somehow even more so than Ned.

>>215299949
I think this stare means: "Muad'Dib GibD"

>>215300240
Sure. But Kit looks like he could be Robert's bastard more so than a Stark. Definitely not the son of a Stark and a Targaryen. And I think knowing his parentage was the condition for being allowed to make the show in the first place so they have no excuse.

Try to top this, nerds!

>>215297666 (OP)
Still mad about Zelda not being a tranny, Eric?

>>215299824
Ridley Scott wanted to add incest between jessica and Paul in his version.

>>215300727
Jeniffer Salke self-insert into Rings of Power might be one of the most blatant self-inserts in history of movie making.

>>215301276
>>215300727
Forgot pic

>>215300727
There wasn't a way to cast this right, given that the role and the show were shit to begin with.

>>215299949
just picture dennis villeneuve looking at this in full imax in his private room

>>215298054
It's not too bad actually...

>>215297666 (OP)
How many redheads they replaced with nigger coons

>>215297666 (OP)
Ken Ogata as Mishima. Not their fault, they had a more suited lead but he dropped out due to threats from the yakuza while Ogata stuck it out, but he cannot sell Mishima's effete side or feline body language at all, he's nothing like the guy physically or in manner. Still a good film regardless especially given how fucked the restrictions they were under were.

many such cases in this movie now that i think about it

>>215302342
>Ken Ogata as Mishima
Heihachi?

>>215299824
Tbf, if you didn't consider the possibility of incest when reading the book, you're probably in the minority.

>>215300764
It was the writer who came up with that and Herbert was no pleased with it.
>I introduced some erotic scenes between Paul and his mother, Jessica. I felt there was always a latent, but very strong, Oedipal attraction between them, and I took it one note further. It went right in the middle of the film, as a supreme defiance of certain boundaries, perhaps making Paul even more heroic for having broken a forbidden code.

>>215298444
>I practise dem BLACK magic, bitches. Oh yeah, I'll show you my DARK arts.

>>215302436
At first I hated him as Emperor, but then it clicked. His demeanor is not imperial, he is weak as fuck, even his deman "You shall bow at my feet" was pathetic as fuck, he said/played it as even Emperor of known Universe is not sure of himself and is an old fart. He's ok in my book.

Khaleesi as Sarah Connor yikes

>>215297848
>cast wahlberg
>in the wrong role

Orlando Bloom in Kingdom of Heaven. A better, charismatic lead could have saved that movie like Russell Crowe saved Gladiator.

Real talk:
What's the over/under on this LoZ film being either a hit or a flop?

Most of this cast

HEAT, Al Pacino

>>215299824
it was better that way

>Books: Cute tomboy lesbian
>Show: Ugly dyke

>>215298035
Keanu is the best part of that shitty pretentious movie.

>>215297666 (OP)
>Cute young and white, just like Zelda
>Somehow this is among the worst miscasts in television and film adaptations

>>215297666 (OP)
Here's your virginal elfin princess. enjoy

>>215307126
My problem is the actress is a lot older than Link's actor

>>215304503
Wahlberg is there because he was cast as Drake in an earlier failed attempt to produce an Uncharted movie, a decade earlier.
By the time it actually got made he was in his 50s and they decided he was too old for it

>>215307510
you're problem is your a pedo

>>215307630
>both over 18
>pedo

They should be the same age at least. The guy is like 18 and she's 24. It's a weird age-gap for a damsel in distress

>>215300727
In the wide shot in the beginning her face looks even goofier than in the close-up.

>>215298444
check'd. Any blackwashing is de facto terrible casting.

>>215307679
Are you aware that the actors are not playing themselves?

>>215307679
>she's 24
21*

>>215307679
>It's a weird age-gap
No it's not. It's a fantasy story. It's not some romantic comedy in new york city where her character is in grad school and he's a senior in high school. With Link and Zelda you hardly pay attention to the ages of the actors, they both just look generically young and it doesn't matter at all.

>>215300240
why is rhaegar's genes so weak

>>215307510
>female love interest is older
based, if anything,Link should be younger

The only weird age gap is the one where Zelda sits on my face while Link is riding my dick.

>>215297893
Another tranny upset that they didn't cast that one tranny they try to gaslight us into believing passes.

>>215307468
This gives new meaning to the song lyric "Drown me in love".

>>215298444
They're racists

>>215305094
Good post. The movie relies on the supports like Neeson, Irons, and Norton to carry the weak lead.
>>215307679
I think she's taller than the Link actor too. Kinda hot, honestly.

>>215300727
she looks crosseyed what were they thinking

why this board is so obsessed with latinas?

>>215298444
this but alan rickman, snape is a greasy ugly chud incel and casting rickman made too many people sympathetic to him

>>215297666 (OP)
spotted the seething tranny

>>215308888
Wasn't that just a meme that originated here? I thought it was just chuds trolling other chuds with it and that nobody took it seriously.

Also checked.

>>215297666 (OP)
She's cute, is she legal?

>>215309833
She's 21. I think the guy playing Link is 16.

>>215298387
Lies. She did a sex scene with a guy but under covers. And lesbian kisses. But no nudity.

These moon crickets

>>215309833
Unfortunately she has a tatoo

>>215307468
what a disappointment this show was

The worst miscast in history hasn't happened yet
I am actually looking forward to both laughing and seething next year

The whole cast

>>215311381
>what a disappointment
it's only disappointing when you expect it not to be
learn from this

>>215300496
kino

>>215300727
what's wrong with teeth?

>>215301276
>>215301292
why do women do this (KKennedy).

>>215311660
I'm weak to any medieval kino and will inevitably get my hopes up

>>215300592
This didn't bother me because it was like, why even use the name?
The underlying concept of "Harley Quinn has to protect a shithead little kid who witnessed a murder" is solid enough that it could be any OC literally who character
It doesn't really matter that she's supposed to be Le Legendary Ninja Pedobait Character, they fucking just call her "Cassie" the whole movie anyway

>>215307190
Lmaooo I'm watching this right now and the Astrid casting bugs me everytime I see her. They even had a random black viking say a line in one scene too.

Who would you cast in a super smash bros movie /tv/?

>>215307468
is this the girl cast for zelda?

That Valerian Movie

>>215312455
Idris Elba playing all characters

>>215299801
what were they THINKING?

>>215300727
>squeaks

>>215312455
Willem Dafoe as Meta Knight

>>215311684
I don't get it, she looks fine. Her hair just needs tidying up a bit and she needs a quick wash.

OP is a faggot and wanted the tranny

>>215297666 (OP)
>movie that hasn't even started filming yet is "miscast"

>>215307679
She's 20. Not 24. It's a three year age gap.
Zelda is pretty often played as being slightly older than Link in a number of the games.

>>215300022
that movie had such baffling decisions all around. just mashing random things from the first, third, and sixth books. Matthew McConaughey was a good pick for Walter/Flagg though

>>215300592
Even if you were attempting to do a child version of Cassandra Cain pre-Batgirl, it's absolutely nothing like the character. It genuinely has no reason to even be called by that name. Even if it was an adaptation of I don't know, Sin, or someone, it would still be loose but it would at least be in the ballpark of "kid looked out for by Bird of Prey members".

>>215310520
LOL

>>215299824
Villeneuve was basing the movie on the superior Dune adaptation

>>215313618
>>215300592
She was also a half assed version of Sin, the girl that Dinah adopted from South East Asia.

>>215309794
IIRC Nintendo addressed it saying that it was all coming from Hunter's PR team in response to them ignoring her audition.
