Who Could Play The Animorphs?
« on: August 25, 2010, 10:56:27 PM »
There's a debate going on about what form a proposed Animorphs movie should take, but assuming the humans are live action, who would play those roles?

Since it's common Hollywood procedure to have young characters played by actors who are a few years older, I'm guessing whoever portrayed the five human Animorphs would be in the 16-19 age range. So, who would be a good choice to play the following roles?

Jake (My friend thinks Zac Efron could pull this off...) :-X                                                               
Rachel (She thinks Kristen Stewart with bleached hair for this one)
Cassie
Marco
Tobias/Human morph Tobias
Ax's human morph
David
Tom
Taylor
The Ani's parents (I know it's not the biggest role, but I'd personally love to see Salma Hayek play Eva)
Loren
Chapman
Melissa
Erek's human hologram

Anybody else you can think of...

see.. this is hard for me.. i do like who played Jake in the tv show. i dont think it looked like him.. but it worked.
the actors would have to look or be young. like they're supposed to be. so it's hard for me to think about it.

i honestly don't agree with kristen stewart being rachel.. even blond. she was okay in the joan jett movie, horrible in twilight.. she looks too awkward to be rachel.



I think the YOUNG Antonio Banderas makes me think of Marco. Those lovely eyes and golden skin... ;)

as i said last time this thread was posted, you have to go with unknowns, otherwise you are getting miley cyrus as rachel, and the jonas bros as jake marco and tobias

Not necessarily, there's a middle ground between 'complete unknown' and... that.

And he's obviously too old now, but I think Matt Lanter is a great image of an older Jake.

Your friend needes to be burned in hot oil!

Hmmm.....who could play the Anis?...I don't know any actors from age 13-18 who could pull it off. If They did make a live action show/movie they'd need to take a page out of M Night Shaymalan's book(Even if the man did ruined a beloved franchise) and hire a bunch of unknowns or actors who haven't had any publicity.

This has been discussed ad nauseum (<- a fave richard quote of mine lol) in two different threads in the past.  The general idea was that none of us could really agree on who should play the animorphs and most actors are too well known to fit what we feel the animorphs should be like.

So I'm gonna agree with my boy blue.

not in the age group of animorphs.  well i guess you can go for some of the other disney stars, hit up the icarly cast or something, or have zach from zach and cody as tobias.  hmm maybe that girl that played hitgirl for rachel? that could actually work in a few years.

First, I already said he was too old but is my vision of OLDER Jake. Second, iCarly is Nickelodeon, not Disney. And Third, Jenette McCurdy, Sam on iCarly would actually be a pretty good Rachel in both attitude and look.

I actually like the idea of one of the Cole twins playing Tobias, and maybe that other kid froom iCarly, the boy... Dunno his name, never really watched the show, but, anyway, him for Jake maybe? He sorta looks like a geekier version of Jake, but the attitude is wrong from what I've seen of him... But, actors act, and attitudes change. :P

The girl who played hitgirl definitely would make a badass Rachel in 3 more years or so.
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th
