I can tell you right now BigKid, that Joquin Phoenix would make a horrible physical match for Namor. You've obviously never seen him with his shirt off, he has a pretty bad deformity of the shoulders (No kidding). His shoulders protrude forward and in turn give him a concave chest, this is why he always appears to be slouching in his films. Normally I could give a damn about this, but Namor is a superhero who will, most likely be shirtless form the greater part of the film, and let's not forget that he's supposed to look muscular and that Joquin isn't. Please don't argue this as it is a fact. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I agree. He's certainly not on par with Matt Damon as Namor!

MP!
Really? This is a fact, huh? Hmmmm..... I never knew about this, to be honest. Then I stand corrected. I've never seen him in anything in which he WAS shirtless, now come to think of it, but if this is a trueism, then I would have to then say that I agree with you. I still think that either a buffed out Jim Caviezal or Hugh Jackman would make the grade. EVEN THOUGH.... I still wouldn't think it a bad choice to take "Rock" Johnson.

I would like to nominate Collin Farrel for the role, I watched Minority Report again last night, and it hit me. He's a good actor he could get pretty buffed I'm sure and he's got the look and proper hair color. He would maybe go for the role as he appears to have a taste for comic book characters (Bullseye). And he doesn't have any trouble hiding his Irish accent so I don't think that would be a problem either. What says you?

[Bigkid]

I,too, like Collin Farrel as well. But for the role of Namor....... I'm not sure. One of the thing's is, is that Farrel dosen't have that sort of "other worldly" type look to him. He dosen't stand out as having any sort of alienish type look. I know that make-up and hair COULD be then thrown into it, but where actors like Caviezal and Jackman are concerned, they seem to have this quality that would make it believeable. Don't get me wrong, I like Farrel, and he has a great ability to convey tempest and anger throughout a film, but for Namor........ I don't know....... I think my jury would probably still be out on that casting if indeed they went that way, until I got a chance to actually see him in the role. Being that this film is being targeted for an '06 release, I guess it's just a matter of throwing about ideas from here, now!

I was thinking that if Ben Grimm were to get his own musical numbers by Sachmo in a FF movie, that perhaps Namor could get some as well so he wouldn't feel left out. One song which could work really well is the Bobby Darin song "Somewhere beyond the Sea". Now, that song is based on the French song "La Mer". All one has to do is substitute "La Mer" for "Namor" and we have the Namor movie theme song. It fits quite well, don't you think?

[Bigkid]

HMMMMMMMM............ YOU KNOW SOMETHING, WELSHY...........
no.
Sorry, that wouldn't work!

Actually, that was quite funny, I liked that!
That song could fit in QUITE WELL for a Sub-Mariner flick!

Meowww!! The clowns are here!

[WC]

Ok. How about this Dean Martin song reworded for the pre-cursor to Nita?

When her fist hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Namora!

WELSHY!
That's assuming that Namora (or did you mean NamorITA)? That's assuming that they write that part into the film. If they do..... I'd LOVE that! They could have Tony Bennet re-work that version, you know?! Young people seem to dig Tony to this day, so, yeah, I think that could work!

(By the way, does ANYBODY have ANY way of knowing if there is a possible way to find samples of the script for this movie online or otherwise, anywhere)??

WELSHY, you seem to know quite a lot about LOTS of things, could you suggest a website or something ........SOMEWHERE........ where I could go to and try to find some information about the Sub-Mariner script?? PLEASE........ SHARE??

Movies.com's buzzbin is saying that the rock is rumored to play Namor, which is awesome. the part is perfect for him. im sick of people casting him to do emotional parts such as walking tall and somewhat the scorpion king. Namor doesn't have much of a personality, which works out for ol' rocky. also, he's got the look. finally, a charcter perfect for a pro-wrestler. never thought we'd have such a problem, but now that we do, at least we got it fixed.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Actually, yeah not such a bad idea. The Rock's personality in the ring is kind of like Namor now that I think of it. He does present a sort of nobility when he talks smack.
And if the Rock would play Namor, Rosario Dawson would fit as Namorita. Yeah, it could work.
As far any other characters are concerned, I don't know, all I've read from him are his appearances on Fantastic Four and Captain America.
PS, Namor does have a personality. That being a warrior prince who distrusts the surface world.
