If Remade, Who Would You Cast As the Space Girl?


Curious what everyone thinks...

reply

First of all, I'm generally not a fan of remakes. But I gave some thought to it nonetheless. Allow me to quote willowvamp's post from the earlier thread "Cast for a remake?":


"The alien Girl can only be one person...

Kate Beckinsale

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2216266752/nm0000295

I mean come on..."


(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089489/board/thread/163631845)


That pretty much says it. The late teen/early twenty-ish Kate Beckinsale even bears a certain resemblance to the late teen/early twenty-ish Mathilda May.

However, according to IMDb, Ms Beckinsale took revenge on the last director who had made her do a nude scene by peeing in his thermos.

She insists on body doubles ever since.

So, realistically spoken (as realistically as one can speak when it comes to a "Lifeforce" remake), they should cast a gorgeous, natural-looking, unknown brunette with a dominant and somewhat awe-inspiring air. Please no Kristen Stewart or Selena Gomez or so on!

Katie Mcgrath she has a very alien aspect to her.

you might as well ask... "which actress would you like to see walk around naked for an entire movie"

there is a laundry list of beautiful actresses that i'd like to see walk around naked for an hour and a half

You're darned tootin'!

Heck,I'd love to see Mz May walking around naked to this day. If anyone has taken care of herself it's definitely her.I'd lose my freaking MIND.

reply

That's actually kind of a tricky question. I say that because there are a ton of hot women I'd love to see walk around in the nude. That being said, if we're looking for a dark-haired beauty who can pull off "alien," then my choices would be Olga Kurylenko, Morena Baccarin, Grace Park, Rose Byrne, Karolina Wydra (who is like a Rose Byrne clone), Kate Beckinsale, or Gemma Arterton.

If we're accepting of blonde women in the role so long as they can pull off "alien," then I would include Nicole Kidman, Melissa George, Teresa Palmer, Abigaile Johnson (she's like the hottest current pornstar, IMO), or Tricia Helfer.

As you can see, there's a very wide variety of age ranges, but I think this is a role that could be pulled off by someone relatively young or older.

reply

Morena Baccarin, yum. How could I not think of her right away?

reply

Yes, Olga Kurylenko. She is attractive, and I caught her in Oblivion and she seemed to be in a trance most of the time.

reply



I caught this movie on cable and it seems like Species took some inspiration from this. Does that count?

reply

Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker, Olivia Wilde and Ginger Gonzaga would be my first choices for this role.

reply

Kathy Bates of course!

reply

Nic, that is brillant! Much better than the one I picked. What other cating would you do? I was thinking of Woody Allen as Dr. Fallada.

And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

reply

I'm thiking on William Shatner for Dr. Armstrong. Can't pay enough to see his performance of the "possesion" scene in the madhouse.

Emily Ratajkowski
