ST Official Casting Contest

Jesse Plemmons

that is all

 

Jesse Plemons
Rachel Hurd Wood
Judi Dench
Benedict Cumberbatch
Gary Oldman
Daniel Day Lewis

 

My guess is several of the official castings will be people that were not rumored and people that are still completely unknown, but I'll still give it a shot.

Michael B. Jordan
Rachel Hurd-Wood
Daniel Day Lewis
Michael Fassbender
Zac Efron
Chloe Grace-Moretz
Jesse Plemons
Judi Dench

 

Jack O'Connell
Rachel Hurd-Wood
Saoirse Ronan
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Michael B. Jordan
Hugo Weaving
Adam Driver
Gary Oldman

Darth Chiznuk just to give you a heads up, Jack O'Connell and Martin McCann are two other potential names, for the list, that have come up in rumors.

 

I'll get it now. Just Jack O'Connell and Martin McCann, right? I don't think I missed any earlier.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, the winner of this contest will receive three things:

• Bragging rights
• An immense sense of pride
• A "Game Winner" badge/button to appear below their name for a TBD length of time

 

I would sacrifice a full point for each of my wrong answers if it meant Gary Oldman had a role

 

Chiwetel Ejiofor
Jesse Plemons
Gary Oldman
Michael Fassbender
Hugo Weaving
Emmanuelle Chriqui
Alexis Dziena
Taissa Farmiga

 

Hugo Weaving
Gary Oldman
Chris Bartlett (probably uncredited which could make verification difficult)

 

Don't like to be critical because this is a really good contest (great idea), but the numbers aren't the best. The contest may have started, but it could still be adapted if one was allowed to edit entries for a couple of days after a change. As it stands the best play is to put all eggs into a basket with a single name, because if that happens to be right, everyone else will have any positive cancelled out by negatives. Whereas it would be better, and more fun, if the numbers were weighted in favour of being able to take more of a risk re wrong name entries. It would be more fun to go with a few names, and there would be more variation in the scores at the end too. A win/lose ratio of something like 4: 1, or even 5 :1, ie, 4 points for a correct name with 1 for a wrong one, would be much more interesting proportionately. Think about it?

So if I should limit myself to one name, re the numbers as they stand, it would be......... Chiwetel Ejiofor, but I am still actually going to include Benedict Cumberbatch even though I suspect he got nixed.

But I would much rather be able to spread the bet. And if the ratio was more conducive (at 4:1), I would go with:
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Benedict Cumberbatch
Gary Oldman
David Oyelowo
Jesse Plemons

Hugh Bonneville and maybe a couple of others on spec

 

Jesse Plemons: Thomas“witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome”
Saoirse Ronan: Rachel “independent, good sense of humour, physically fit”
Rachel Hurd-Wood:“tough, smart and physically fit”
David Oyelowo: “physically fit, a military type”
Gary Oldman: “strong opinions and tough”
Hugo Weaving: “intellectual type”
Jack O’Connell: “fit, handsome and confident”

Basic descriptions of the original casting call. I figure most of the characters have remained the same, but ages may have changed a bit. I don’t expect the names of Thomas and Rachel to remain, but I believe these are the characters described in the latter casting call.

 

Saoirse Ronan
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Benedict Cumberbatch
Jesse Plemons
Hugo Weaving
Taissa Farmiga
Gary Oldman

 

In order of certainty and confidence that they're in:

Jesse Plemons
David Oyelowo
Gary Oldman
Hugo Weaving
Rachel Hurd-Wood
Zac Efron
Emmanuelle Chriqui

 

Chloe Grace-Moretz
Saoirse Ronan
Chiwetel Ejiofor
Jesse Plemons
Hugo Weaving
Zac Efron
Ryan Gosling
Gary Oldman
Martin McCann

 

Cumberbatch
Plemons
Weaving
Ejiofor

 

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers

Jason Flemyng
Gary Oldman

 

Emmanuelle Chriqui
Ken Watanabe
Hugo Weaving
Rinko Kikuchi
Gary Oldman
Judi Dench
Cilian Murphy
Zac Efron
Peter Dinklage

I agree, I think it should proceed as it is. It's fair, and it still rewards correct answers while taking away for incorrect ones.

 

Benedict Cumberbatch
Gary Oldman
Sam Witwer
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka WILL be defrosted!)
Josh Holloway
Evangeline Lilly
Zac Efron
Chloe Grace Moretz
Taissa Farmiga
David Oyelowo
Jesse Plemons
Michael Fassbender
John Noble
Anna Torv
Lance Reddick

That's all...

 

Anna Torv. Yes, please.

 

Hmm, I'll have to put some thought into this. I can only hope they beat me to it and announce the damn thing already
