Paulie Von Doom Picks a cast for A live-action Venture Bros. movie

Last week Paul thought it would be a good idea to put together the ‘Venture Bros’ and this week he has the cast. Check out who he thinks would be best suited to play each character in a live-action adaptation.

Dr. Thaddeus Venture- Rob Corddry.

He’s bald, cynical, and has comedic chops to spare. If he can tone down his potty mouth a bit I think he’d be a great choice for Rusty Venture.

 

Hank Venture

–

This one was very hard to cast, and please don’t flame me in the comments section, but I think Topher Grace would be a decent pick. He can play a bumbling idiot very well and if he had a comedic foil to play off of, I think he’d do ok.

 

Dean Venture-Daniel Tosh.

 

I feel this is an inspired choice. Tosh already has a lot of credibility with Tosh.O and Brickleberry. I think he’s work very well if this was a straight up spoof. The sight gag of two grown men playing teenagers alone is worth about 30 minutes of laughs.

 

Brock Sampson-

 

Chef Rich, my partner in crime, suggested Patrick Warburton (who voices Brock) but I chose John C. McGinley for the part. McGinley is still pretty jacked from his Office Space days and can play the straight man very well. We all know he can be sarcastically funny from his time on Scrubs so throw a curly blonde wig on him and watch him tear apart bad guys with his teeth!

 

Dr. Orpheus-

I would love to get a veteran comic actor like Bill Murray (Bill FUCKIN’ Murray!!) or Steve Martin for this part. They can do a Tropic Thunder type of thing and make the actor almost unrecognizable. If I ever get my wish for Ivan Reitman as director, we might just see it.

Triana Orpheus-

You know, it’s too bad Janeane Garofalo is too old, but I suppose Emma Watson would work as the Goth daughter of the dear ole’ Doc. She’s in everything anyway, so might as well.

The Monarch-

I originally though Steve Carrell would be a great choice but after watching The Avengers for the eleventh time, I’m thinking Tom Hiddleston would be the better actor. He has the lanky frame, and can ham it up just enough without making it cheesy (awesome inadvertent sandwich reference there). Fan girls would line up to see Hiddleston in anything and, as I said, more asses in the seats = sequels!

Dr. Girlfriend-

I originally chose Katie Holmes because she recently did a movie about JFK and family. She was the spitting image of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis, but the more I thought about it, the more I think Katy Perry would be better. Mostly because by having her involved we’d get more asses in the seats to see her large…acting talent.

Master Billy Quizboy-

 

Rainn Wilson. Mostly because he already has a huge head and plays a know-it-all on The Office. Wilson is incredibly funny and I’d love to see how he’d handle being a four foot tall “boy’ genius.

 

Baron Von Unterbheit- John C. Reilly.

With his recent success with Wreck-it-Ralph, Reilly is a great choice for this. He has the body type, and his style of humor fits well with the tone of the Venture Bros.

 

Molotov Cocktease-

I don’t suppose you could go wrong with Scarlett Johannsen in this role. She’s played an assassin before in The Avengers and I’m sure Fanboys would simply gush (ew) at the thought of her in Molotov’s costume.

 

Pete White- Sacha Baron Cohen.

I’d love to see him play an albino, hopefully he’d remember that the movie isn’t about him.

Dr. Impossible-

The Reed Richard’s doppelganger could be played by George Clooney if they made portrayed him as he is in the show. A big sciency jerk that gets everything he wants and nothing bad ever happens to him.
