Benedict Cumberbatch should defiantly be mukuta!!!
What do you want the visual style to be like?
Personally I would enjoy, for all the characters, a Transformers kinda style, taking cues from the sets, but not being carbon copies or total redesigns. The style in the first BIONICLE Trilogy, how do I put this mildly, I disliked it. It looked…fakey, i guess would be the word for it. They looked nothing like the sets (though this was good in some cases [cough]Gali[cough]), it didn’t feel (to me anyways) like it represented the sets well, Tahu’s mask looked full-on organic to me, in my opinion a Kanohi should look like the TLR Ignika, with a closable face-plate, a la Optimus Prime, eyebrows that were separate pieces from the mask, if they were there at all, and distinct eye-holes, not eyelids built into the mask.
Animation or live-action?
Live action. With motion-capture characters, CGI/Animatronic Rahi (along the lines of Jurassic Park) and New Zealand as the film site.
Who should play the Toa?
Tahu - Chris Hemsworth
Lewa - Eljay
Kopaka - Benedict Cumberbatch
Onua - Vin Diesel
Pohatu - Chris Pratt
Gali - Emma Stone
Makuta - Benedict Cumberbatch (Smaug Voice)
Vakama - Christopher Gaze
Onewa - Christopher Lloyd
Whenua - Morgan Freeman
Nokama - Glenn Close
Matau - Jeff Bridges
Nuju (and all Rahi as well) - Frank Welker (Or Dee Bradly Baker if he’s unavailable)
Who should write/direct the film?
Directing:
Steven Spielberg, J. J. Abrams, or Gareth Edwards.
Writing:
Steven Moffat, can’t really think of anyone else.
What should the story be?
Quest for the Masks with more Turaga.
Yep, although Transformers isn’t the best of movie series, it’s visual style fits BIONICLE really well, IMO. I do think the characters should take cues from the sets, but with more…intricacy, I guess?
Spot on casting choices, especially Chris Hemsworth as Tahu, Benedict Cumberbach as Makuta, and Eljay as Lewa
J. J. Abrams FTW!!
Honestly, one of the main things I’m worried about is voice acting. Get good portrayals of the toa, and as for the villain, don’t go stupid. Villains need to be menacing, and while comedic humor is good, it only works with CERTAIN villains. (Vezon comes to mind)
Better not be directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
if lego decided (it could happen) as a reboot I’d like the toa’s or masters if you will, I’d like them to have voice actors that are similar to the original but I’d like lewa with a better voice
He would add a lot of ridiculous plot twists.
SHYAMALAN PLOT TWIST: The MoC doesn’t exist…its but an allusion
He would use the fan theory that states that The Red Star doesn’t revive beings, but insted turns them into zombies.
I don’t care, I want an Inika and a Mahri movie. A two parter!
I remember being astounded when I learned Voya and Mahri movies weren’t being made.
A moment of silence for all of us in the BIONICLE community who thought they were getting BIONICLE 4 in 2006.
God dangit don’t make me cry!
So long as the director isn’t Michael Bay or M. Night Shaymalan
Steven Moffat? Do you want one of the toa to die?
…russel.t.davies, since moffat was mentioned…
Yes! The forums are finally back up!
Also, the score: what should the movie’s music be like?
Like MNOG where it was a mix of electronic, tribal, and classical.
I want a… Kinda realistic feel. I want to feel the protodermis, and the biomechanical organs in them.
Actually. In my opinion the visuals were AWESOME in LoMN. This with better story telling, the movie would be great.
Oh, and also… TRIBAL FEEL FTW
I actually didn’t like the MNOG soundtrack. I want a sort of mix between a Thor feel and a more tech-y feel to the music. An odd combination, I know.
