Ok, so I may have spoke a tiny bit hastily. I just have such a great respect for Ron Glass. I want him to be Book so very much. Anyway, to make sure you know I ain't boycotting or anything ridiculous like that, I'll say that I bet I would go to see the movie even if I had to do it riding the "Mr Garrison self-propelling transportation machine." You South Park fans will know what I mean.

I just found out today Alan Tudyk is well on his way to becoming a possible mega-star. Turns out he has the title role in "I,Robot" staring Will Smith,comming out this July if I recall. Wich means this film may still be shooting. Also he's comming out in another big film "Dodgeball: A True Underdogs Story" (I think I got that last title right).
So I don't know but since Firefly has been up in the air for some time he may have Booked(hyuk!) himself solid. Co-starring with Will Smith I do believe our boy may have hit the big time. All I can say is good for him! I just hope he can do Firefly.

Alan is doing the voice of the Robot. I not sure that co-staring with Will Smith is the correct term, or that he will get as much recognition as one might think. This is what he looks like in the movie.

Well with luck I hope hope my slight over-estimation at least comes across as Hi-larious!

If! and only if Alan and Ron cant be a part of Firefly for some reason then I agree totally with Browncoat1:
Quote:
I think Owen Wilson would make a good Wash. For Book I like Morgan Freeman in the role.
Owen Wilson could totally do a Wash, as well as make me laugh like Alan, maybe more.
Morgan Freeman is a talented and "believable in any role" actor who could be good for Firefly.
Only if Alan and Ron couldnt be part of ANY Firefly in the future would I give consent for replacements to be used.

I agree - Joss is not one to recast roles with different actors. Wasn't Doyle supposed to originally be the character from the Buffy episode that picks Angel up out of the sewers and teaches him to help the slayer? Is the reason that they chose the character Doyle because they couldn't get the original actor?
Whistler - exactly! Joss has often firmly stated that there's not going to be anything Buffy without Gellar, and I've never seen him use the same character played by a different actor in one of his own creations (with the possible exception of Swanson/Gellar Buffies - but I'm not really counting BtVS movie as one of his own creations).
Quote:I don't know - but I have perfect confidence that Joss would be able to come up with something brilliant if he had to. I think he'll have a lot of those tough calls where he would want to do one thing for the movie and the uninitiated movie goer but can't because of continuity. It's bound to take a lot of creativity to make it work - but if anyone can, it's him

Wash is Zoe's husband, but more importantly, he's the pilot...you can't just have the pilot not be there.

I agree, if Alan Tudyk can't play Wash, I don't think I can watch the movie. It just wouldn't be the same! And, replace him with Seth Green - oh, pleeeze!?! Ew-w-w!

Hehe, very true - but they could for yet unknown reasons be forced to take another pilot on board. Still - I don't believe they will, but it seems more likely to me than that Joss would cast someone else as Wash.

Who would YOU like to see in those roles? Who would 'ease the pain' so to speak?
Me. . .
Seth Green as Wash and Morgan Freeman as Book.
I have no doubt that Tudyck and Glass will reprise there roles. It'd be strange without'em.
