HUH?! Sanguinius is supposed to be humanity perfected with wings, not some dork who's famous cause his friends kept putting him in movies so people thought he could act.

Sid James as Horus.
Kenneth Williams as the Emperor.

Nah, just doesn't do it for me.

Okay my more considered list

Emperor = Mr T or Sean Connery (if the T is unavailable)
Rogal Dorn = The Rock
Fulgrim = Orlando Bloom / Jonny Depp (some other foppish waif)
Vulkan = Wesley Snipes
Russ = Chuck Norris
Roboute = Liam Niesson
Lion'el = David Hasselhoff
Corax = Daniel Craig
Horus = Jason Stratham
Alpha & Omega = Jay & silent Bob (represent bitches)
Mortarion = Who cares crap character anyway.

Sanguinus - i have no idea what Blond Haired, blue eyed, Aryan superstar would play this character?

Brian Blessed must be in this list somewhere surely?

He should be Russ. He'd be perfect. Sorry but The Norris should not be in this film. Its about mere mortals after all, so beneath The Norris.

John Carpenter not included, Big Trouble in Little China is one of my most favorite movies....Prince of Darkness, too.



I would say a Ridley and Tony Scott joint. I mean cmon, enemy of the state, black hawk down, Alien, Bladerunner.....?!


James Cameron can suck it. Avatar Blows....


Terminator 1 and 2 kick ass, though.

way to not type it like a joke. there is a movie called kick ass, so that is appropiate.

and as far saying gak, people swear on here so much I just expected the language filter to check it like usual.

and, your not a mod, so don't try to be one.

You missed the humor of the thread by a mile. That's not the OP's fault.

Folks that swear on here get the beats from Mods and users. Besides, you should behave yourself around the big kids.

And the whole "U R not my mum so stfu!" line... The last person I heard use that was 12 years old. Listen to advice given to you instead of plugging your ears like a toddler and going "Lalalalalala!"

thats really cute. I edited my post.

I read it early this morning during Digital Media Production II, tough production level class....sorry if I didn't absorb the suave, subtle humor of the post ...even though my cast choices are mostly comic in nature....Even if it is a funny happy good time parady joke thread, those directors still suck.

Sanguinius...

Matt Damon could actually work if it was done right....like Bourne, not, the Informant....

him, or maybe David Wenham?

Instead of HH i'll go for a WH40K film in general. What about a Monty Python-esque film?

Come on. If ever there was bloke who deserved a bolter, it's Craigy. Look at how rugged his face is.

Also, how about Crowe?

I could totally see him bellowing 'FOR THE EMPEROR!' down the camera. Ace.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

Vulkan needs to be Mr. T.

"I pity the Heretic" could be his catch phrase. However, I could see Bruce Willis as the emperor and as long as burton can be kept away, Johnny Depp as sanguinius to lead the prettiest marines.
