Recasting "Buffy"

[Summerlilly]

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Dianna Agron. Don't know why. Probably because I don't like any of the characters I've seen her play. I'd prefer Kristen Bell as Buffy.

Hmmm...well can't say I know much of Dianna other than Glee but she sure looks the part! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Kristen Bell but to me she's Veronica Mars, not Buffy. Oh well, we all know if the movie gets made its probably gonna be some high paid actress we can't stand! ha ha 🙄

Buffy-Kristen Bell has the same witiness and good looks
Willow-Julie McNiven or Rachel McAdams they're both as sweet as Ally
Cordelia-Bridget Moynahan looks a lot like her
Faith-Rhona Mitra can totally pull of the badass chick image as well as Eliza
Xander-Joshua Jackson
I cant think of anyone for Giles...possibly Bill Nighy :/

I didn't have my own opinions until I saw this thread, LOL. All I knew was I DIDN'T want Heather Morris as Buffy--that would be bad.

But let's see...

Buffy - Kristen Bell
Willow - Bonnie Wright/Emma Stone
Xander - Adam Brody
Cordelia - Megan Fox/Lucy Hale
Giles - I'm not sure.
Tara - DIANNA AGRON!
Spike - Alex Pettyfer/Neil Patrick Harris
Angel - Don't have an opinion here.
Anya - Rachel McAdams
Harmony - Amanda Seyfried.

I can see Kristen Bell as Buffy as many people have said.

On another note... Neil Patrick Harris as Spike? SUPER BLECH. That guy pisses me off.

Okay, so I've seen a lot of suggestions of actors that are adults. I mean someone suggested Jennifer Aniston who is closer to my mums age then mine. So what do people think about the age of the characters? Would you want to see a high school Buffy or do you want to see an adult Buffy? Obviously if they were going to do an adult Buffy (20's) it would open up a lot more doors for actors. When I've thought about casting in the past I've always thought about people that could pass for high school students, but since so many people are suggesting much older people maybe I should have a think about what older people would be good?

Buffy: Mila Kunis. (This will require Buffy to have a hair colour change but I don't view that as a big sacrifice. Kunis will deliver.)
Angel: Jake Gyllenhaal
Xander: Penn Badgley
Willow: Ellen Page
Giles: Colin Firth
Joyce: Allison Janney aka CJ Cregg on The West Wing.
Cordelia: Emma Stone

Ah, when I did my cast list I meant to include Ellen Page on the Willow section too. I can't make up my mind. Possibly leaning more towards Ellen and Emma than Bonnie Wright but still 😀

Anya2010 agrees: I cannot stand Megan Fox.

Omg! You too? I thought it was just me. But I think she'd make an okay Cordelia. I'd prefer Lucy Hale though...just because I love her.

I couldn't think of anyone else that would be a good Cordelia re-cast.😀 So I said Lucy Hale.

This is not the assignment, but I want to see Katie Sackoff as Faith. Are Starbuck and Faith not the same person sometimes?

 

[Nikita]

Buffy: Kristen Bell
Xander: Matt Dallas <3
Willow: Hm. I'd say Emma Stone or if we're going for an older version of her I'd say Rose Mcgowan.
Tara: Dianna Agron.
Cordy: Naya Rivera. I just think she'd play the bitch role really well.
Harmony: Blake Lively
Anya: Jessalyn Gilsig or Rachel Mcadams.
Faith: Cobie Smulders or maybe Summer Glau?
Angel: Jake Gyllenhaal, yum.
Spike: Neil Patrick Harris, but I'd rather him not be involved at all lol
Oz: Jean-Luc Bilodeau
Giles: Christian Bale, lol.
Joyce: Toni Collete
Jenny: Morena Baccaran 😀
Wesley: Nathan Fillion
Fred: Natalie Portman could do real well as Illyria, maybe not as Fred though.
Jenny: Teri Hatcher
Darla: Katherine Heigl
Drusilla: Don't kill me, but I absolutely LOVE Calista Flockhart for this role, lol.
Riley: Kellan Lutz, lol.
Dawn: Leighton Meester
Glory: The lovely Jennifer Aniston 😛

That's all I can think of for now >.>

So am I the only one that despite my love for NPH could NOT see him playing Spike? I don't know... as much as I love him (which is A LOT), he's not Spike.

I don't quite see NPH as playing Spike. Yeah, I like him too

I don't know the rest, but you could cast allie larter or angelina jolie as buffy. They would be fierce!

 

[Gotham]

I'll come out of left field and say

Rupert Giles - Clive Owen
Buffy Summers - Dianna Agron
Willow Rosenberg - Kate Mara
Xander Harris - Feck it, Shia Lebeouf as someone already said. 😛

 

[EvilBuffy]

Am I the only one here who has no idea who like 80% of the suggested people in this thread are?
