Who would you cast in a Giant Bomb movie?

So I saw this picture of Jason Sudeikis and thought he looked kinda like Ryan.

...which got me thinking about who I'd cast in a movie about Giant Bomb...which then prompted me to make this thread. So here's my thread.

So who would you cast?

Michael Hall as Drew Scalon?

Carrot Top as Patrick Klepek?

Will Smith as Will Smith?

Alec Baldwin as the guy who fired Jeff?

Let your imagination soar.

Oh and Edgar Wright will be directing.

Patton Oswalt is Ryan.

@razielcuts: Oh man you're right.

I would say Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Ryan but we are a day to late. 2013 and 2014 fucking SUCK!

@nightriff: I was gonna make a very dark joke out of that suggestion, but I couldn't bring myself to say it :(

I don't mean to be a buzz kill, but that movie would SUCK!

giovanni ribisi as Alex, not because he looks like him, I just really like the guy.

Jim Gaffigan should play Will Smith. I'd totally see a Giant Bomb film with him as Will Smith.

man all the years should just be over already.

No one. They would all be played by puppets, like a Giant Bomb Muppet movie.

Oh man, Will Smith as Will Smith would be BEYOND meta.

I also like the idea of "the guy who fired Jeff" and would like to see that dude from the Postal movie in that role. The one who hangs heads on his wall. No idea what his name is.. he always plays sleazy dudes.

Also: Edward Norton as Brad.

@cheesebob: I legit think he could play a good Ryan, that's what I hate.

Vinny as every role except for himself. Eddie Murphy would play that role.

Michael Cera as Patrick?

That is...f**king brilliant.

Jeff - Whoopi Goldberg

Vinny - Bruce Willis

Brad - Chuck Norris

Drew - Morgan Freeman

Patrick - Christian Slater

Alex - Nicholas Cage

Rory - Jim Carrey

I've put a lot of thought into this.

@cale: This made me laugh heartily. Well done, sir.

Yeah, This is amazing.

Go back in time and get young Ewan McGregor as Brad.

Jesse Eisenberg as Patrick
I would cast John Candy for Jeff but since he passed away, I'm opting for Daniel Day Llewis since that man can play just about anybody.

• Jeff- John Goodman
• Brad- Rowan Atkinson
• Vinny- As himself.
• Ryan- Dom DeLuise or Brian Blessed
• Drew- Michael C. Hall

Danny McBride as Jeff

Jonah Hill as Ryan

Paul Rudd as Brad

James Franco as Vinny

Michael Cera as Patrick

Bradley Cooper as Alex Navarro

Seth Rogen as Matt Rorie

Channing Tatum as Drew Scanlon

I would watch the shit out of that movie.

Daniel Day Lewis IS GIANT BOMB: THE MOVIE.

Moved this to Off-Topic.

Also, a young Michael Hogan as Brad.

Alex is played by Nic Cage, voiced by Nolan North. Also who would be the villain?

Chris with the white car.

Are we making a porn?

I hope so.

Jesse Eisenberg would make for a superior Patrick than Michael Cera

Ray Winstone as Brad Shoemaker

Wayne Knight as everybody.

The film itself would, of course, be a surreal and beautifully-crafted heist movie written and directed by David Lynch. Titled "Hello Everyone, It's Tuesday", it'll be a huge hit in France but go largely unseen elsewhere due to "Grownups 3: Kevin James Falls Over Some More" opening on the same weekend.

It will then be followed by a sequel starring Tuesday Knight called "Hello Everyone, It's Wayne", which will just be a series of monologues by Tuesday Knight in which she repeatedly apologizes for not being Patricia Arquette. For some reason, it sweeps every award show that year.

Me.

• Kevin Spacey as Jeff
• Jeff Bridges as Ryan
• Simon Pegg as Brad
• Edward Norton as Vinny
• Steven Buscemi as Alex
• Michael Fassbender as Drew
• Jack Gleeson as Patrick

@rafaelfc: Danny McBride is the best Jeff candidate I've seen thus far.

Ice-T and 50cent play everyone on staff.

Robbie Coltrane as Ryan and Woody Harrelson as Vinny, those are for sure.

I've actually been seriously thinking about this.

the opening of the film would resemble The Social Network, with Jeff running home having just been let go from Gamespot.

Giant Bomb, The

Director: David Fincher

Screenplay: Steve Zailian or Aaron Sorkin

Director of Photography: Roger Deakins

Jeff: Tay Diggs

Ryan: Bryan Cranston

Brad: Aziz Ansari

Vinny: Milo Ventimiglia

Alex: Mathew Lillard

Patrick: Aziz Ansari

Rorie: Aziz Ansari

Where's that one movie poster that has Chris Rock as Patrick?

Ed Asner as Jeff

Carol Channing as Vinny

The body of Walter Cronkite as Brad

Mysterious Fox as Patrick

Oliver North as Drew

Geico Gekko as Alex

• Bela Lugosi as Vinny Caravella
• Vincent Price as Jeff Gerstmann
• Peter Cushing as Patrick Klepek
• Boris Karloff as Brad Shoemaker
• Lon Chaney as Alex Navarro
• Henry Hull as Drew Scanlon
• Claude Rains as Alexis Gallisá

How about a more realistic proposition - how rad would a documentary about how Giant Bomb came to exist and the day to day behind the scenes of the site be?

That way, Vinny as Vinny, Jeff as Jeff...you get the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence as Jeff.

(No more words need to be said. Enjoy the trip I just sent your brains on.)

That exists already, look up how to build a bomb. I mean sure, we could use an updated version. But that one has Ryan in it.

Cameo appearances by John C Reilly as Tim Schafer and Jack McBrayer as Brad Muir.

Sean Connery as Ryan Davis

Seth Rogan as Will Smith

Michael Cera as Patrick Klepek

Vinny Caravella as Vinny Caravella

Whaaaaaat! How did I not know about this?!

You are now my Hero. For Life. Seriously.

I would cast somewhat lookalikes but instead of making a traditional movie it would be more like This Is Spinal Tap.

It would be about the staff of GiantBomb desperately trying to make their own movie, about themselves, but going completely overboard and eventually failing but feeling pretty good about it. All in the documentary/behind-the-scenes style.

@frobitz: Haha, no problem. Everybody should know how to build a bomb*. (* If the Government is reading that's a video, I swear I ain't a terrorist!)

I had high hopes when I made this thread. You guys did not disappoint.

Wouldn't the obvious choice be the Bomb Squad as themselves?

Robert Pattinson as Jeff Gerstmann

Benedict Cumberbatch as Brad Shoemaker

Morgan Freeman as Vincent Caravella

Aaron Paul as Patrick Klepek

Eddie Murphy as everyone. The movie would be a literal giant bomb.
