Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.
David S. Goyer [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Da Vinci's Demons, FlashForward, Blade II]: David is DC's Kevin Feige, which means all projects are gonna have his name, and his approval on them. So he's a necessity in doing Aquaman, and I think his money is as good as anybodies. Fans won't get upset if he's just throwing his money and support and letting the crew do their film.

Charles Roven [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman]: Charles is another dominant force in the fate of the DC Movie Universe. And he's really kept his faith in the genre and is really as good for Aquaman as a producer as Goyer.

Zack & Deborah Snyder [Notable Works {As a Producer Teams}: Sucker Punch, 300: Rise of An Empire, Batman vs Superman {Deb only Producing}]: They're a real life team. Together they make movies and both have seen the rise of the DC Movie Universe and together anything they back is going to happen. So together they might be the two that really push to get Aquaman done.

Wesley Coller [Notable Works: 300, Watchmen, Man Of Steel]: Friend and Co-Collaborater along Zack Snyder, Co-Producer of Cruel and Unusual Films, he would no doubt be part of the team DC, Goyer, and Snyder would assemble to get Aquaman swimming into theaters.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Geoff Johns [Notable Works {As A Producer}: The Flash {T.V. Series}, Green Lantern, Justice League Flashpoint Paradox]: Geoff has been actively pushing Warner Brother's to bring DC characters to life. Personally he should be the Kevin Fiege of the DCCU. He's got the heart and would definitely get the job done given the chance.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Greg Berlanti [Notable Works {As A Producer}: The Flash {T.V. Series}, Arrow, Green Lantern]: Another figure behind bringing the DC Character's to live action acclaim. He's got the heart to really drive this project to the green light and while Green Lantern was a hault on bringing the other DC Characters to life it was an attempt and I think Aquaman deserves a chance.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Marc Guggenheim [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Arrow, The Flash {T.V. Series}, FlashForward]: Marc, like the majority of the Producer Alumni has credits cited to Arrow and the new Flash T.V. Series. He would be another welcomed producer in the Aquaman army and could help get things moving, should The Flash sell very well.
Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.
Andrew Kriesberg [Notable Works: Arrow, The Flash {T.V. Series}, Warehouse 13]: As a producer he is another welcome party. A big comic book fan, assisting the production of the Flash he is fit to really help bring Aquaman to life and could bring things together finally allowing A film to be made of the character.
Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.
Nathan Crowley [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, John Carter, Insomnia]: It's not his Dark Knight work that brought me to chose him, it was his epic work on John Carter. He's wonderful P.D. And His work would only help make the film stronger. He would really give Atlantis breathing life, the way he did with Mars. He was a no brainer as the P.D.
Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.
Mayes C Rubeo [Notable Works: Avatar, John Carter, Dragonball Evolution]: Her work capturing the otherworldlyness of Avatar and John Carter in their costumes and even allowing those costume to help dictate the characters, her work is just what Aquaman needs. She's wonderful at designing the costumes and she could really make Aquaman feel authentic.
Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.
Eric Zumbrunnen [Notable Works: John Carter, Her, Being John Malkovich]: As an Editor he has a really really tough job. He's got to put the movie together like a puzzle, and if he screws up in the slightest it shows and reflects back on him. He did such an amazing job with John Carter, setting the tone, getting the comical beats, showing the emotional turmoil on screen. He's the Editor Aquaman needs for a film.
Director of Photography: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.
Guillermo Navarro [Notable Works: Pacific Rim, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Pan's Labrynth]: He's got such dynamic work put into Pacific Rim and he's a talented figure who really knows what to do as a D.P. And could really help capture the tone and aura of Aquaman.
Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Travis Beacham [Notable Works: Dog Days of Summer, Clash of the Titans, Pacific Rim]: With Pacific Rim he's become the dominant hero of fanboy writers. He wrote a Kaiju vs Robot Movie and got it made. He's good working around action and around character development when it's his story and would be a sure fit to really craft a Quality Aquaman film and trilogy.
Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Michael Giacchino [Notable Works: Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness, John Carter]: I know I use Giacchino a lot in fan casts, but for good reason. He's an excellent composer who switches from classical to modern music in his scores. He writes them around character and situation. His themes are themes that apply to characters and their thoughts and lives, his Aquaman theme would be amazing!
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Joseph Kosinski [Notable Works: TRON Legacy, Oblivion]: He hasn't directed much, but what he has done has definitely made him stand out as a director. On his way to becoming a true pioneer of modern filmmaking, Joseph has taken steps into different variations of Sci-Fi in both his films. While Aquaman isn't Sci-Fi in a conventional sense it's still Sci-Fi and his character themes and story arcs really play into the wheel house of the Aquaman lore. If anyone could bring the throne of Atlantis to life in a modern film and make it worth the price of admission, my money says Kosinski is the guy.
Arthur Curry/Orin/Aquaman [Height: 6' 1", Age: 20's-30's]: Aquaman, also known as Arthur Curry and Orin, is a superhero and the ruler of the seas. As the king of Atlantis and other undersea territories, he technically controls most of the planet. His abilities include super-strength, durability, super-speed, staying underwater indefinitely, and telepathy, which he uses to communicate with sea-life. His aquatic nature means he requires water regularly at the risk of dehydration, although he is perfectly capable of staying on land for extended periods.
Jai Courtney [Height: 6' 1", Age: 27, Notable Works: Spartacus, All Saints, A Good Day To Die Hard]: I've been pushing him for Aquaman for almost 2 years now. The guy is a solid actor, and looks dead like Ivan Riess’s Aquaman. He’s recently cast in the next Die Hard film, which for many reasons needs to be done NOW. He really is a good actor though, his performance in All Saints and Spartacus show he’s got some natural talent as an actor. It was pretty easy to go with him as Aquaman just from his Spartacus work. He’s got the right age to carry a trilogy, height and look of the character, this guy has what it takes.
Mera [Height: 5' 9", Age: 20's-30's]:Mera is the wife of Aquaman, the Queen of Atlantis and a member of the Aquaman Family known for her strength and passion. They had a son together named Arthur Curry, Jr. although he was killed by Black Manta. Originally she is from a place called Xebel in the otherwordly Dimension Aqua.
Kiera Knightley [Height: 5' 7", Age: 28, Notable Works: Pirates of the Carribean {Film Trilogy}, A Dangerous Method, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit]: Kiera is a wonderful actress and I don't think she's played the roles that would showcase how badass she is. I think she's got potential to be an action star, and she has the potential to really become the next truly hot supermodel bombshell. She was at one time with the Pirate movies, but this is offering her a new level of exposure and she could really be a big big actress as Mera.
Tom Curry [Height: 6' 1"{Estimated}, Age: 40's-50's]: Tom Curry is a lighthouse keeper in Maine, and the father of Aquaman. His wife is Atlanna, the Queen of Atlantis.
Dennis Quaid [Height: 6' 1", Age: 59, Notable Works: The Day After Tomorrow, Pandorum, Soul Surfer]: Dennis is an actor, who although he has never really done it, has become the quintessential father figure actor of this generation. And I think this is a role that is open enough for Dennis to make his own and to make Tom the New Uncle Ben, Jonathan Kent styled character.
Atlanna [Height: 5' 7" {Estimated}, Age: Unknown]: Atlanna is a member of the Atlantean Royal Family and the mother of Aquaman, formerly the Queen of Atlantis. She conceived her child with the human lighthouse keeper Tom Curry.
Milla Jovovich [Height: 5' 9", Age: 38, Notable Works: The Fifth Element, Resident Evil, Ultraviolet]: I love Milla, she's a darling. She's a talented actress who came to blossom in the 1990's and stared in one of my all-time favorite Sci-Fi films
The Fifth Element. I know shes marginally younger than Dennis, my Tom Curry choice, but this is really showing that her character ages slower than humans. She's a darling actress she has children and this role would allow her to really play a mother and show what she has as an actress.
Kaldur'Ahm [Height: 6' 3" {Estimated}, Age: 20's]: This is a different take on Kaldur'Ahm. This version is a half Atlantian who is a member of the Royal Guard. As originally he is the son of Black Manta, but his father hates his existence and even attempted to murder him as a baby His mother raised him in Atlantis. There he was trained to be a fierce warrior and became a high-arching member of the royal gaurd.Sent by Mera,a revolutionist who wants to end the Ocean Master's rule by finding the rightful heir - Arthur Curry.
Sinqua Walls [Height: 6' 3", Age: 28, Notable Works: Teen Wolf, The Second Half, From the Head]: Another actor who deserves bigger roles in his own right, and hasn't gotten them. I knew casting him as Aqualad, he would have to be a different person at his core and I took what I could see in the story and remolded the character to fit what allows the actor to really bring himself into the role. Sinqua would really do a wonderful job as Kaldur'Ahm.
Nuidis Vulko [Height: 5' 8" {Estimated}, Age: Unknown]: Vulko is a politician and royal scholar of Atlantis, acting as mentor to Aquaman. He is a member of the Aquaman Family. Providing sage wisdom and advice in times of crisis, he is the city's oldest dignitary.
Jeffrey Wright [Height: 5' 11", Age: 48, Notable Works: Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Source Code]: With Vulko no actor really fit the character as I see him. He's a wonderful performer. He's always someone I recognize in roles, he always fun and always has an area of fun. I think this role is minor enough to transform race and change small things to fit a choice so I could cast the best actor for it and put someone in the role who would do it justice.
Garth Tempest [Height: 5' 10", Age: Teens-20's]: the teen sidekick and protégé to his guardian, the super-hero known as Aquaman, bearing the same super-abilities as his mentor that allow him to breathe underwater and communicate with marine life. He also possesses enhanced strength and speed that allow him to move through the ocean with relative ease as well as withstand the high-pressure depths of the ocean.
Sam Claflin [Height: 5' 11", Age: 27, Notable Works: The Hunger Games Catching Fire, The Lost Future, The Pillars of The Earth]: He very much impressed me as an actor in
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. He really gave heroic and strong human qualities, and I wanted to put him in a cast, in a proper area. He's not really the person I see as Aquaman, but he deserves a character in his own right. It felt best to give him Tempest. He could really take Garth and make him more of an Idol to fans.
Aquagirl [Height: 5' 5" {Estimated}, Age: 20's]: Lorena Marquez was going on a date at the San Diego Zoo when an earthquake shook the city and caused it to sink deep into the sea, killing thousands, including Lorena's entire family. She came into contact with Aquaman, who nursed her back to health, while discovering that she has developed the ability to breathe underwater like an Atlantean.
Francia Raisa [Height: 5' 3", Age: 25, Notable Works: Christmas Bounty, Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Cutting Edge 3]: She's not a supremely great actress, but she has the mold to break. She's got potential, she has spirit. It was important for me to cast someone who was the right ethnicity and who needs to be broken and molded into a highly trained actress. I think she's a performer who can be great, and would really shine givin this role.
Vostok-X [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 40's]: In Siberia, Arthur Curry was so set on catching Black Manta that he had no intention of saving the villagers. Vostok-X was unsure about leaving them to die because, like him, they were Russian. The Others, despite Aquaman's wishes, returned to the village and saved it.
Diego Klattenhoff [Height: 5' 11", Age: 35, Notable Works: Pacific Rim, The Black List, Unconditional]: A talent starting to be recognized, he's a smart actor, he's doing great work and he's on a hit t.v. Show
The Blacklist. Seeing him as Vostok is giving both him and the character a chance to cement themselves as dominant elements. Priving his talent as a hero and giving Vostok X a chance to be Iconified.
Joshua Cole/The Operative [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 50's]: The Operative was a member of the group known as The Others. He is the only member of the group that never went into hiding and has connections to nearly all government agencies.
Sean Bean [Height: 5' 11", Age: 54, Notable Works: Goldeneye, National Treasure, Silent Hill]: Sean is legendary at this point. He's best known for always dying and always playing tragic heroes or tragic villains. As great an actor I think this is a role that would really let him parody the James Bond character, who he faced in Goldeneye. Sean could definitely rock this role pretty well and make it truly iconic.
Domonic Torrez/The Prisoner Of War [Height: 6' 3", Age: Unknown]: Prisoner a former member of The Others. Is a victim of war who gained the ability to see his dead comrades and hides his face because of it. Also has the ablity of knocking his Manacles together to create a force field that can stop anything from coming in or going out.
Adewale Rotimi Akinnuoye Agbaje [Height: 6' 2", Age: 46, Notable Works: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra, The Thing {2011}, Thor The Dark World]: I understand he was in Thor The Dark World, and that it was a prominent role but this is something different for him. Possibly as prominent and just as challenging for him. But he's a great actor and it allows him to really stretch his range and really challenge what he can do with just his voice and pantomiming skills.
Ya'Wora [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Ya'Wara is a Brazilian warrior and friend of Aquaman. Ya'Wara is a member of the Tapirape, an indigenous tribe living on the Amazon rain forest. She and Aquaman were once part of a group called the Others. They shared a telepathic connection.
Morena Baccarin [Height: 5' 7", Age: 34, Notable Works: Firefly, Serenity, Homeland]: Morena is a cult-love. She's a beautiful, wonderful actress who hasn't done much of anything that is a big hollywood production. She's done T.V. And a few choice films and it leaves her open to do quite a bit more in terms of exposure and presentation as an actress and this would be a step forward for her.
Kahina [Height: 5' 7" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Kahina was a seer and a member of the The Others. She was looking for fellow member Ya'Wara in the jungle to give her the Golden Seal. Before she could do so, Kahina herself was found by Black Manta, who defeated her in battle and took the Golden Seal. At her last breath, Kahina begged for Arthur Curry to come to her aid. Kahina was then killed by Manta, but as it was happening, she witnessed what was to come in the future - Black Manta would come very close to killing Aquaman.
Priyanka Chopra [Height: 5' 7", Age: 31, Notable Works: Pyaar Impossible!, Don 2, Planes]: She's a lovely Indian rose. She's a bollywood star and a wonderful actress who, given the right exposure, would be the next hollywood bombshell. She's really a right, fit choice of Kahina.
Dr. Stephen Chin [Height: 5' 6" {Estimated}, Age: 50's-60's]: Stephen Shin was a friend of Tom Curry and a young Arthur Curry. He helped the young Arthur develop his powers. But later, Stephen turned on Aquaman and tried to kill him because he wouldn't reveal the location of Atlantis to him. Years later, Aquaman and his wife Mera meet with Stephen because they need his help. Stephen identify where the monsters, which attacked many people, came from. After he told Aquaman everything he knows, Stephen ask Aquaman to keep the body of the monster but Aquaman doesn't allow it. Stephen became angry but Aquaman and Mera left him with the words that he can be a dangerous man but he's a sad one, just right now
Togo Igawa [Height: 5' 6", Age: 67, Notable Works: The Last Samurai, Memoirs of a Geisha, Gambit]: Togo is such a wonderful actor. He's an asian film star that has really not seen the kind of exposure that he certainly deserves. He's wonderful and he has done very ominous roles and this let's him back off onto a more fatherly styled role.
Karshon The Shark (Height: 6' 2", Age: Unknown): The explosion of an experimental atomic pile bombarded a prowling tiger shark with radiation. Millions of years of evolution occurred in a matter of minutes. The Shark now possessed incredible mental powers, including matter manipulation and powerful energy bolts. With his mind reading ability he absorbed vast knowledge from the people around him. He found he could project fear in anyone he chose. The Shark was still motivated by one driving force, to seek prey. He used his powers to make himself appear more human, and adopted the name "T.S. Smith" to stand for "Tiger Shark."
Dominic Purcell (Height: 6' 2", Age: 43/44, Notable Works: Blade Trinity, Killer Elite, Prison Break {T.V. Series, Series Lead}): He's a popular actor, people use him for various comic book roles, everything from Venom to Morbius to Atrocitus. I think he'd be a fine Atrocitus but he's Also an actor who might not get any of those establishing roles, and I had a character he could fit well enough, physically as well as mentally.
Charybdis [Height: 6' 5" {Estimated}, Age: Unknown]: Charybdis conspired with his made-to-be wife, Scylla to kill Aquaman(His real partner Scylla supposedly died in a bomb explosion) by giving them code names. In doing so he used his metahuman powers to render Aquaman's ability to talk to fish, useless. He then puts his left hand in a Piranha infested pool. Aquaman escapes his hideout. He later used a machine to take Aquaman's powers. Charybdis changed his name to Pirahna-Man after the transfiguration. The result left his sanity in check and the abilities of Aquaman's fish communication.
Jonny Lee Miller [Height: 5' 11", Age: 42, Notable Works: Elementary, Trainspotting, Dark Shadows]: Jon is a great actor. I've seen him quite a few times and I always wanted to see him in a comic book role. But when it came to finding this kind of monster with Charybdis I knew i wanted someone fresh for the role and someone who would turn it into a less certain evil and more malevolent villain.
Black Manta [Height: 6' 2", Age: 40's]: Black Manta is one of Aquaman's greatest villains. His lethal high-tech suit allows him to survive underwater and adapt to any number of situations with an arsenal of destructive weaponry. Despite his prominence, Manta remains an enigmatic figure, his identity and his origins kept secret. The motivation for his villainy is a deep-seated hatred for the sea due to strong emotional reasons, and a personal vendetta against Aquaman.
Common [Height: 6' 0 1/2", Age: 42, Notable Works: Terminator Salvation, Wanted, Hell on Wheels]: I like Common. I find he's a good performer and I've been supremely impressed with him on the AMC Show
Hell on Wheels. And seeing him in that makes me really want to challenge him as an actor. I want to see what he can do as a villain. It's something he hasn't really done since
Wanted and it was more or less a moment of evil not a lifetime of it. I think Common has great Potential and would really bring the Black Manta Role home.
Orm/Ocean Master [Height: 5' 11", Age: 30's]: Ocean Master is the evil half-brother of Aquaman, son of his mother and another man. Determined to usurp the throne of Atlantis, he employs piracy and terrorism to reach his goals. His powerful mystic abilities are channeled through his trident, although he also has access to technology and many other weapons. In this version, he has taken the throne of Atlantis as his mother's exile due to his Father stealing the throne from her and Brother's father by Tom Curry. A resistance builds to bring Orin to power by training him to challenge the Ocean Master.
Tahmoh Penikett [Height: 6' 2", Age: 38, Notable Works: Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse, Riverworld]: It took a while to really think about it but when Tahmoh came to mind and the ideas for this story really came together I felt Tahmoh was pitch perfect for Ocean Master. He was the right fit for the Character and for the Actor. This would see bigger exposure for Tahmoh and show what talent he has.
