Here's what we currently know about it before I get started:
- Disney is making it.
- Robert de Niro is producing
- Michael Goldenberg is writing the script.
- Artemis Fowl
It's hard to figure out an actor for the title role. People have mentioned Asa Butterfield as the boy genius, but my only fear with that is he's a little old for the role, though he certainly looks like Arty. When we first meet Artemis Fowl, he's supposed to be twelve. Asa is sixteen. Could be worse, though. - Butler
I stand by my earlier dream casting here, with Jason Statham. Who else could kick butt and still win our hearts? Need more reasons? Just look at everything else he's done. - Foaly
I'm still all on board for Steve Coogan to take the role of Foaly, though I'd also be happy with David Tennant, Justin Bartha, or Peter Capaldi in the role, though I doubt they'll cast Peter due to his recent casting in Doctor Who. - Holly
I have so many issues finding a Holly in my mind, because I see her in my mind as Holly as she's written. Whoever they cast will have large wings to fill... - Mulch
I'm still saying Lee Arenberg, though Jack Black has been mentioned as a potential. I would rather see Lee in the role, simply because I love him to death and he's a very underrated actor. - Juliet Butler
Is it sad that I'm calling either Elle Fanning or Chloë Grace Moretz for Juliet? They both have the abilities, and the looks to pull it off. I would be happy with either, and if neither of them are cast, then I'll be judging so very hard. - Commander Root
This has been one that's bugged me for months, and I'm finally calling it for either J.K Simmons or Anthony Hopkins. They're both men of incredible acting abilities and to play Root, you have to be tougher than tough. They can do it.
