FANCASTING FOR LAND OF THE GIANTS REBOOT
"THE JETSETTER/THE PARTY GIRL"
VALERIE AMES SCOTT
31-33 years old
In the SW Forum, this role would be The Big One, The Top Mama, Numero Uno, Ichiban, etc. However, since everyone in this fancasting has been envisioned as female, that's not necessarily the case. Still, the "Jetsetter/Party Girl" does represent the face of the franchise, if you will. So, the candidate should have red hair, act spoiled (at first), be feisty, smart, and look hot in high boots and miniskirt (we demand that part).
GEMMA ARTERTON
Aged 35
A
Bond girl; the Damsel in Distress in the
Clash of the Titans remake (that checks off the "King Kong sacrifice" category); a supernatural seeker in
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters; and the action princess in
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. So she has the athleticism and has worked with giant creatures before.
LYNDSY FONSECA
Aged 34
Has worked as an assassin in the
Nikita TV series; and as Peggy Carter's friend in the
Agent Carter TV series.
KAREN GILLAN
Aged 33
Made waves as Amy Pond (see what I did there?) in the
Dr. Who series; kicked arse as Ruby Roundhouse in the rebooted
Jumanji movies; and kicked more arse as Nebula in
Guardians of the Galaxy (under the make-up). She's certainly in shape, a fan favourite, a redhead, and Scottish.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Aged 36
Previously brought up in "The Pilot/The Leader" segment:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2661
Appeared in
Eight Legged Freaks; multiple Marvel Comics movies as Black Widow; and a cyborg in the
Ghost in the Shell live-action film. Scarlett is certainly in shape, can play a redhead, and has worked alongside giant things.
BLAKE LIVELY
Aged 33
Of all the candidates, Blake looks the most like Deanna Lund. She appeared as the Hero's Girlfriend in the
Green Lantern movie; and rocked in a bikini in her action-lead performance alongside a killer shark in
The Shallows. Perhaps she could take Deanna's part if someone decides to film a remake of
Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine... or not.
EMMA WATSON
Aged 31 this month
You knew I’d bring Emma into this somewhere...
She’s played a party girl in at least 3 films:
The Bling Ring; Perks of a Wallflower; and
This is the End. Respectively, Emma pole dances; plays Janet in a
Rocky Horror Picture Show bash; and herself, a party-goer threatened by the coming of the Apocalypse. She arms herself with an axe to mistakenly fight off the main cast (or the big plastic hand?).
Add in the
Harry Potter films for the action skills (and those Grawp scenes!). And that sweet British accent...
And that is that! A couple of these ladies were married or were married to Ryan Reynolds. What does that mean? Probably absolutely nothing.
I would head the line for the chance to handhold any of these gorgeous Little People. They are all worthy, but if I had to chose, I would take Karen Gillan, followed by Blake Lively or Emma Watson.
But now it's your turn -- who takes it? Whose cuisine reigns supreme? Or who else should be on the list?
