Who would you cast in the live action Flash movie that's in the works? Here's my cast: Barry Allen/Flash-Niel Patrick Harris I know a lot of people say that and I tend to agree. He just seems Barry-ish to me. Wally West/Kid Flash-Calum Worthy Sure he was Lightning Lad but during that episode of Smallville, I kept thinking he could be a potential young Wally. Jay Garrick-Dustin Hoffman Yeah, I went there ;D Captain Cold-I have no idea...he's a tough one. Mirror Master(Evan McCulloch)-Ewan McGregor I think he could pull it off. If it was the Scudder version of Mirror Master then I have no idea. Trickster/James Jesse-Sean Bean That's only if they don't portray Trickster as a complete lunatic and with the personality we saw more recently before his death like in Johns' run. Can't think of anymore right now...I'm tired. ;D

My cast... Barry Allen - Neil Patrick Harris For the same reason as Prime Wally West - Calum Worthy Ditto Iris Allen - Christina Ricci I like her as Trixie in Speed Racer and I think she'd make an excellent Iris. Bart Allen - Bill Milner If he were probably a little older and he could pull of an American accent. I'm not sure about any villains, though...

Interesting choice for Iris... Yeah, she just really looks the part to me. For Max Mercury, I'd say Dustin Hoffman, and for Jay I'd choose John Wesley Shipp, to be obvious.

Yeah he might make a good jay considering he's had a history with Flash media and it would kind of be a cool passing of the torch kind of thing...

Wally West: Joshua Jackson Linda Park: Emmanuelle Chrique Mirror Master(Evan): Ewan McGreggor Hunter Zolomon: Leonardo Dicaprio Jared Morillo: Derek Luke BARRY ALLEN: Matthew Fox plus Grodd and you have a perfect movie!

What about Chyre!?!?!? It's not a perfect movie without the greatest beatcop ever! Leo has Hunter...hmmmm...not sure how I feel about that. He's proven himself to be a very capable actor...hmmm.

I actually like the Leo Zolomon idea. And Chyre has to be Mickey Rourke.
NPH, Jackson, McGregor and Ricci are all spot-on.
As for Jay, JWS isn't old enough. Christopher Plummer is my choice.

I'd say Keith Carradine would make a good Jay. He's old but he doesn't look ancient like Plummer.

Keith Carradine as Jay could work.. but I just don't see Neil P. Harris as Barry nor C. Ricci as Iris. There many, many good younger actors (many who are as of yet unknown) who could pull it off. Sean Bean as scudder would be spot on, provided they raise the Mirror Master creep factor as they did in the movie "Mirrors." However if you insist on casting known actors for this fantasy, how about the new James T. Kirk as Barry (Sorry, I forget that actor's name!) and Bryce Dallas Howard as Iris? (She IS a redhead and Wally, her nephew, is also a redhead.)

The Rock as Black Adam! oops. wrong red suit with lightning. I think Sean Bean is a bit too old to play Trickster. I doubt they'll get too far into the generations of Flashes given the limited time they'd have to tell an origin for one... the ability to thoroughly develope a single good villain sharing screentime can be a chore, nevermind being bogged down with 5 speedsters!

I've decided I want Jeremy Piven to play the Top. He is a bit on the oldish side, but looks reasonably youthful. And he can play an a-hole Some clever person (not me) made this graphic:

I think Neil Patrick Harris might make a better Pied Piper... wirey frame and stature.

Shell out the cash for Val Kilmer - Ringmaster!

which is exactly why I chose to use Wally as the star. That way we can handle both he and Barry, implement a Rogue and Hunter among other police supporting cast.
