Wow, they really should make it a live action movie. I love naomi watts- she'd do a really good odette, & keanu reeves, i cant imagine him as derek. I think orlando would be a better choice!

reply

They do have a live action version of Swan Lake it is in the form of BALLET.

OMG there I said it.

reply

No, they want a live version of The Swan Princess. Swan Lake, while it may be the same basic storyline, is not TSP. Period.

OMG there I said it.

reply

Uh...if there was a live-action Swan Princess, I'm pretty sure Jean-Bob, Speed, and Puffin would be CGI...and nobody could be a better Jean-Bob than John Cleese. Not even Johnny Depp.

I'm a Rumrunner, and proud of it!

I was actually watching this movie last night..and I thought it would be really cool if they put this movie on stage instead of a movie. It's more exciting seeing it live, coming from a big theatre person. They could do like a whole lion king broadway thing with puppets for the talking animals. it'd be less corny than having some kind of CGI for it...i know little kids would enjoy it since it basically is meant for kids..heh

Actually, that might be pretty cool.

Edited 11/1/15
I've been looking over my list again, and I have made some changes. I have moved Daniel Huttlestone from Young Derek to Adolescent Derek. I moved Freddie Highmore as well, from Adolescent Derek to Adult Derek. Here are the rest of the ideas I've come up with for a cast so far. I took other people's ideas and added my own. Now, for many of these actors, I'm just basing everything on appearance. I look at the actors' pictures and see if I can picture them as a certain character.

Anyway, here are the names I've compiled...

Odette........................Amanda Seyfried, Amy Adams, Charlize Theron, Drew Barrymore, Emily Osment, Hayley Atwell, Jessy Schram, Gweneth Paltrow, Katie Hall, Keira Knightly, Keri Russel, Kristen Bell, Lily James, Mackenzie Mauzy, Naomi Watts, Resse Witherspoon, Sara Paxton

Derek.........................Ben Chaplin, Billy Magnussen, Chris Pine, Cody Linley, Dougray Scott, Freddie Highmore, Hadley Fraser, Henry Thomas, Jonathan Groff, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Richard Madden, Santino Fontana, William Moseley

Rothbart.....................Cameron Blakely, Gerard Butler, Jason Isaacs, Jeff Nicholson, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Williams, Kevin Bacon

King William................Colm Wilkinson, Ian Mckellen, John Clesse, Maurice LaMarche, Robert Pine, Russel Crowe

Rogers.......................Ciarán Hinds, Earl Carpenter, Hugh Jackman, John Cleese, Keith Burns, Maurice LaMarche, Peter Polycarpou, Victor Garber

Uberta........................Edie McClurg, Meryl Streep, Rhiannon O'Connor, Susan Jane Tanner

Jean-Bob...................Jesse Corti, Olivier Martinez, Sacha Baron Cohen

Speed........................Alan Tudyk, Jesse Corti

Puffin.........................Jeff Bennett, Stephen J. Anderson

Bromley.....................James Corden, Josh Gad, Patrick Warburton, Val Kilmer

Chamberlain..............Jason Alexander, Jonathan Freeman, Jonathan Hart, Tony Timberlake

The Hag.....................Valda Aviks

I think John Cleese could probably play odette's father :S

reply

That'd be a great idea! The cartoon version sucked, so I doubt that a live action could be any worse.

And I don't have much of an idea about the cast, but I do know that I would want Jason Isaacs to be the villain.

Derek= James Franco.

the end.

reply

Sorry, but I don't think so. I just can't picture James Franco as Prince Derek.

There is a live action version; it's called the ballet. ;)

But I have to admit... I like the idea of James Franco as Prince Derek.

I'd like to see Daryl Hannah as Odette, if we could alter her age of course. Not that she isn't pretty anymore, but you know.
I like a lot of the earlier suggestions of who should play who, especially Orlando Bloom as Derek and Alan Rickman as Rothbart!

Gunner of Team Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?

reply

Another suggestion for Odette: Sara Paxton.
