arib's journal, I commented on the state of CGI and how we can now render people well enough to four-color super heroes. (The comment is in his review of Matrix Revolutions. No link because of the spoilers that lurk there.)
I then asked, who would play von Doom? Well, how about everyone? So, cast a movie!
Reed Richards - Mr. Fantastic. Super genius, able to stretch his body to amazing lengths and almost invulnerable to physical damage. He should be able to play, noble, dedicated, smart and clueless. Late thirties- mid forties.
Sue Storm/Richards - The Invisible Girl/Woman. Can turn invisible, and project invisible force fields. As originally written, she was a girly girl. Later, she was Reed's wife and became a much stronger character. Early thirties.
Johnny Storm - The Human Torch. Bursts into flame, can shoot flames, and fly. Can focus enough heat to burn through almost everything. Early twenties, thrill seeker. Twenties.
Ben Grimm - The Thing. A massive of living rock. Immensely strong, can go toe to toe with the Hulk. Real wise-ass at times. For most of this movie, he will be entirely a CGI character. Gruff, heart-of-gold type. Mid forties.
Victor von Doom - Doctor Doom. The arch-nemesis of the FF. A megalomaniac who uses science and occasionally magic to try and conquer the world! Wears a battle suit that hides his scared face. Same age as Reed.
Feel free to add any characters from the FF story lines you like. Except for Franklin Richards. Ick.

Date: 13 Nov 2003 11:53 (UTC)Reed Richards: Clive Owen. Despite being English, he can do an American accent, and he really looks the part.
Sue Richards: Geena Davis would be my first choice.
Johnny Storm: Christian Slater.
Ben Grimm: Billy-Bob Thornton.
Dr. Doom: Stallan Starsgaard.
Franklin....
Date: 13 Nov 2003 12:14 (UTC)As for the cast....
Michael T Weiss as Reed. Just make sure he has Gray hair on the temples please. (Fred has those sexy streaks... Drives me wild)
Chyna Phillips as Sue.
Casper Van Dien as Johnny (Flame On!)
Ben as CGI is a toughy cause you really need a voice actor for that... but for his pre-mutation phase he should be damn good looking... But I'm going to go with another starship troopers actor and say the voice of Michael Ironside... (poor choice but brain isn't at 100%)
I'm thinking Demi Moore for She-Hulk :) they just have to do one of those camera tricks like they do in Harry potter to make Robbie Coltrane 10' tall....
And I'm wimping out and saying Gary Oldman as V v Doom Phd.
