Casting Call: Apollo
Okay, so with the little feed back I got, we are moving forward with one casting call a week, followed by a three week voting time. So, we will start with Apollo, with the poll coming out next Friday or Saturday.
I will try to keep up to date with the nominated acters with small thumbnail pictures for better visual aids for people that may not be familiar with a particular name or face or both.
Hope this works for more people!

Re: Casting Call: Apollo
Matthew Settle. He portrayed Capt. Ronald Speirs in "A Band of Brothers". IMDb states his B-day is Sept. 17th! There you go. 
BTW, might want to have Hatch in there as well. Just a thought...

Cool! I will add both names, later tonight.
Just a note on Hatch and the other original actors. The idea when this started was who would we want to see in a BSG film if it was remade. As stated in another thread, if this was indeed a continuation, all the regular original acters should be used, but if a remake, who would we like to see fill the roles.
I will put Hatch up there, just like I put Terry Carter up on the Tigh poll, But like Carter, if this ends up being a remake, Hatch might be a little too old to play a young Apollo.

I mentioned Richard only out of respect. And I agree that he might be a bit too old to portray a young Apollo.
Matthew Settle or Jim Caviezel would be interesting recasts.

Re: Casting Call: Apollo
Added a few names, though after seeing his picture, I don't really see Adrian Grenier as Apollo. But I could maybe see him as Zac.

Re: Casting Call: Apollo
A remake? I thought this was about a continuence from the last ep of the original series? (oh boy...I'm living in a cave again, right?  )
anyhooo,
Brandon Routh would be not bad as a YOUNG Apollo based on his appearance.
But indead my personal opinion would be as said above. Keeping Richard as Apollo but at the age he should be now. I think it would work better if he were now Commander as he is in TSC trialer. Guess I just prefer such a story line.

Hi Sarika-
Again, I am right there with all the people that want a continuation! If that is indeed what we get, I want all possible acters returning to their respective roles.
In truth, as much as I want a continuation, the odds of that happening now are very small... even without the same actors coming back. Remember, some may not even want to do it.
Add in the studio's limited ability to think and you can't help but believe that if this takes flight, it will be a remake.
Plus for this exercise, it only makes sense to think remake. If we are thinking continuation, then there is no point in nominating actors we think might work in a new incarnation of BSG.
Again, this is just for fun... a what if... its not scientific... it will not determine or hinder anything that the studios will do. Its just for us to play with.

Re: Casting Call: Apollo
Sure we want the Old Galactica back with all
the cast what we know.
But time goes by and some are dead now like Adama and Baltar. 
or to old.
So i think it will be a remake (reboot) the story new again
in style and elements from the old Galactica (space opera).

Re: Casting Call: Apollo
Remake.hmmmm...I thought that was already a done concept?
Anyway, sure, a play with the idea might be fun, but personally for me, not a thing I would wish to focus too much on, not if there is a chance for a continuation. Just my opinion.

I 100% agree.
Brandon Routh? He does kinda look like Apollo.

Good points.
I think most of us or all of us *if I may say that* want a continuation and not a remake.
Look how well Star Trek TNG did and it didn't detract from Star Trek TOS.
How about Battlestar Galactica : The Next Generation?
This way we can have the best of both worlds. Our beloved original characters back and some new ones as well and it will still be in the TOS BSG universe.
I would be happy with that.
Anyone else?

The nomination thread will close tomorrow night. I will then post a poll, followed by our next character nomination thread:
Starbuck
...so start thinking!

Sorry. In my hurry this morning, I missed this.
I think a next gen story could be good, or even a prequel, dealing with life in the colonies and their run ins with the Cylons, too.
Ah well. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!
