Ashley Leggat is a HUGE improvement.

You may not believe this, but I'd pick Jackie Chan for Todou

BECAUSE...He's actually about as old as todou should be, and he is very capable of having that intense japanese grimace todou has all of the time.

Now...how about Keira Knightley for Shirley?

You may say "she's too old" but, that's an easy stunt to pull off. They're doing it with Garfield in spider-man, why not here?

The other Black Knights are pretty much spot on.
Anyways, NEXT SET (Britannians, am I right?)

I don't know. I think Jackie Chan is past his prime. Dacoscas is pretty badass IMO, and that's how Tohdoh is.
As for Knightley, you have a point with Garfield, but I'd still like to see if he'll work, then maybe there's a chance with Knightley.

And yes, Britannians. First, the royal family.


Charles Zi Britannia- Liam Neeson (Taken, Batman Begins)

One of the things that makes Charles so menacing is his voice, and Neeson has one of those distinct voices.


Marianne Vi Britannia- Jennifer Bini Taylor (Two and a Half Men)


Schneizel El Britannia- Matthew Goode (Watchmen)

I saw some similarities between Ozymandias and Schneizel, particularly keeping a cool disposition even while initiating evil plans.


Cornelia Li Britannia- Lauren Cohan (Supernatural)

Her smug, confident attitude as Bella on Supernatural showed me she could pull off Cornelia, which is a plus in her Knightmare battles.


Clovis La Britannia- Tom Felton (Harry Potter)

I've seen him play Malfoy as pompous ass to a little crybaby (IMO). He could do that for Clovis, but in a much shorter period.


Euphemia Li Britannia- Emma Watson (Harry Potter)

I wanted someone similar to Cohan since Euphemia is her sister.
BTW, Cornelia and Euphemia won't have purple or pink hair for realistic reasons. Cornelia would be more of a dirty blonde while Euphemia is more bleach blonde.

Any more thoughts? Next batch, the Britannian military, is the last of what I got. I haven't picked anyone for the Knights of the Round yet. Once again, I'm open to suggestions for characters I haven't named yet.

[aliensuit1495]

Yeah now that I think of it, Im not sure how much Keira Knightly would work out. I just cannot for the life of me think of anyone else for shirley.

And you have my approval on the britannians. Pretty spot on. I love Schneizel's pick.

[Spidey 1923]

Good casting.

[Rider]

Great casting list, I'll have to give more thought into the subject of casting

[BackinBlack]

Now my final batch of characters from the Britannian Military.


Jeremiah Gottwald- Hugh Jackman (X-Men, The Prestige)

Do I really need to explain this one?


Villetta Nu- Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, Avatar)

For the film though, I would keep her hair black. I always questioned why it was white/gray on the show.


Lloyd Asplund- Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)

This is another one I feel I don't need to explain.


Cecile Croomy- Rose McGowan (Charmed, Grindhouse)

Well, that's all the characters I have. Once again, I'm open to suggestions for characters I haven't casted yet.

[BackinBlack]

Oh, I thought this would be interesting to put as well for my vision for the film(s). When Lelouch becomes emperor, I would have CC be his empress. She'd even have her own throne and dress:


Also, now I'm not sure what the reaction would be to this, but before the battle of Damocles, Lelouch and CC would have a sex scene; PG-13 style though, not R. It would be after she's consoling Lelouch about Nunnally. I just think it should happen to add more romance for the last film, and you know they had feelings for each other the whole show.

[aliensuit1495]

Good final casting round. Overal, very good casting. Hugh jackman as Orange is something I never thought of...but it's perfect

And YES. I always liked to think that C.C. was his empress during those 2 months between the battle of damocles and his assasination.

However, the sex scene might be a little much. I see where you're coming from, since in the anime there was a scene of them sitting back to back on the bed holding hands, but I think it's better left as...implied.

[BackinBlack]

Just a quick recap of all my castings:


Lelouch/Zero- Kelly Blatz (Aaron Stone, Glory Daze, Prom Night)


Suzaku Kururugi- Harry Shum Jr. (Glee)


C.C.- Valerie Tian (Drillbit Taylor)


Nunnally- Ryan Newman (Zeke and Luther)


Kallen- Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Sky High, Final Destination 3)


Rolo- Bradley Steven Perry (Good Luck, Charlie)


Milly Ashford- Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory, 8 Simple Rules)


Rivalz Cardemonde- Nathan Kress (iCarly)


Nina Einstein- Kay Panabaker (No Ordinary Family)


Shirley Fennette- Debby Ryan (Suite Life on Deck, 16 Wishes)


Kaname Ohgi- John Cho (Star Trek, Harold and Kumar)


Masi Oka- Yoshitaka Minami (Heroes)


Kento Sugiyama- Archie Kao (CSI, Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy)


Shinichiro Tamaki- Aaron Yoo (Friday the 13th)


Kyoshiro Tohdoh- Mark Dacascos (Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight)


Nagisa Chiba- Kelly Hu (X2: X-Men United, Scorpion King)


Ryoga Senba- Barry Corbin (Ben 10: Alien Swarm)


Kosetsu Urabe- Jay Chou (The Green Hornet)


Taizo Kirihara- James Hong (The Day The Earth Stood Still)


Diethard Ried- Jon Stewart (The Daily Show)


Charles Zi Britannia- Liam Neeson (Taken, Batman Begins)


Marianne Vi Britannia- Jennifer Bini Taylor (Two and a Half Men)


Schneizel El Britannia- Matthew Goode (Watchmen)


Cornelia Li Britannia- Lauren Cohan (Supernatural)


Clovis La Britannia- Tom Felton (Harry Potter)


Euphemia Li Britannia- Emma Watson (Harry Potter)


Jeremiah Gottwald- Hugh Jackman (X-Men, The Prestige)


Villetta Nu- Zoe Saldana (Star Trek, Avatar)


Lloyd Asplund- Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory)


Cecile Croomy- Rose McGowan (Charmed, Grindhouse)

I'll add more characters when I think of them. Again, open to any suggestions.

[BackinBlack]

Oh, also wanted to point out another story point I'd do in the films. It's set in an alternate history where Britain won the American Revolution. This gave King George III an ego boost, causing him to change the name of his country to the Holy Empire of Britannia, even changing his name to Emperor George Un Britannia. The empire then began colonizing even further, eventually taking all of North America and other countries, including Japan 7 years before the actual film takes place. Plus, note the similarities between a British Empire map of 1921 and the Code Geass world map. Note that many of the same areas are part of Britain and Britannia.


I would also leave out mentioning Charles as the 98th emperor and Lelouch as the 99th to avoid having any numbering.
Also, depending on when the film releases, it would take place 10 years in the future; so if the film were released in 2020, the film would take place in 2030 with conquest of Japan taking place in 2023. See what I mean?

[aliensuit1495]

I see what you mean. I think another interesting thing to add on there, is having Napoleon win the Napoleonic wars and booting the English out of England forcing them to make the America's their new homeland. That explains why Britannia doesnt own the British isles, as well as the existence of the EU.

Some other things further down the line I'd make sure happen is to give Euphy and Suzaku's relationship more meaning you know? Make them have a more intimate relationship than they did in the show. Make her death even more sad.

[aliensuit1495]

We need to find this girl and contract her for shirley...like seriously...NOW



Let's just hope she can act.

Oh that's good. I could use that.

I'll do my best.

Yeah, and there's actually multiple maps of the code geass universe. Not sure which is correct.

I honestly wish I knew. She's just some random cosplayer.

[sic]

[Webber3000]

I agree with sic.
