"Gen 13" has been around since 1994. It has had an animated feature that was not so great, and a video game that ended up being canceled. The original comic series ran until 2002. It was then rebooted only to get canceled in less than a year.
The team is now back thanks to Scott Beatty and Mike Huddleston. They've been brought into the Worlds End storyline, the premise for "Wildstorm: Armageddon." Hopefully, the latest relaunch of the Jim Lee-J. Scott Campbell book will regain popularity and catch the eye of a successful filmmaker.
I'm going to say sorry now because I know I am one of the biggest Nazi's on CBM about actors portraying multiple comic characters. But I will be hypocritical regarding one of the characters on this fan cast. Again, so sorry.
Now on to my cast list. Let's start this off right.
Amy Smart as Caitlin Fairchild
The first time I saw Amy was in "Road Trip." Oh god the memories.... ahem. Anyway, Amy has been in a number of things since then, from T.V shows to movies she even voiced Strawberry Shortcake on "Robot Chicken." I think Amy is good for this role because: 1. she is sexy as hell, 2. she has that innocent look that makes you go 'awww.' She is so cute, but she also has an aura about her that makes me think she could beat someone's face. 3. she is not afraid to show boobies, and in the Gen 13 world you can't be afraid to show some boob. 4.she is damn sexy.
next up we have....
Elisha Cuthbert as Roxy Spaulding/Freefall
Elisha Cutbert has been around since the days of "Are you afraid of the dark," which I do not remember her in. I'm sure if I watched the show again I would recognize her. The first time I noticed her greatness was on the hit T.V show "24" as Jack Bauer's daughter. Then again in "The Girl Next door"...mmmmmm... more memories... anyway, back on hand. I mean track. I think Elisha would be good for the role of Freefall because 1. you guessed it she is damn sexy, 2. she can portray a character with attitude but can be sweet at the same time, 3. she is a cock tease (and so is Roxy perfect fit,) 4 you guessed it again sexy as hell, I actually think she is one of the sexiest women alive.
and now our first male choice is...
Cam Gigandet as Robert Lane/Burnout
Cam was in the female-obsessed movie "Twilight" as the main antagonist. He also starred in "Never Back Down." I had never heard of this guy until I got dragged to see "Twilight." Frankly, I thought his acting ability was by far better than the main two characters. I had a really hard time casting Bobby and this guy looks the part. If he can pull off some good acting with all the sh*t acting that was in "Twilight," then this guy can do anything.
next is the beautiful and talented....
Roario Dawson as Sarah Rainmaker
Do I really have to explain this choice to anyone?....come on. I don't like it when actors portray more then one hero even if they are from separate universes. But she is perfect for this role. I warned you I was going to be a hypocrite.
This next choice was really hard but I stand my ground....
Aaron Yoo as Percival Edmund Chang/Grunge
Aaron was really funny/perverted in "Disturbia." These are the only two qualities that someone needs to play Grunge. Now if Grunge was not Asian, I would say that Jack Black would be the perfect choice (also, if he wasn't almost forty.) All Aaron really needs to do is put on some muscle and he would fit the role just fine.
Next up this man needs no introduction he is
Clint Eastwood as John Lynch
It has been stated that Lynch's character was based on aspects of Clint as well as Nick Fury... To me these two are pretty much the same guy anyway. So there ya go....
Now I know there is probably no way in hell a Gen 13 movie would ever get made. If it was, most likely it would be low budget. I guess my cast works for that because the only huge name on the list is Clint Eastwood....
So what do you think?
