Am I the only one that looks at that group shot and thinks this is the makings of one awesome real world cast.

Also Vigil, to me atleast, is at her best being a complete arrogant snob.

I concur, but only if the Canadian is played by Liam Neison, I don't care that he's not canadian or even North American. That man is awesome.

There was a discussion on the Cranky Octopus Forum about this a while ago - the general consensus was Megan Fox - although I'm not sure I agree! I've only seen her in Transformers and that was ages ago and I can't remember what her voice was like! Who would play the Banana? I'm thinking Mickey Rourke in full Marv/Sin City mode!

I've always felt Bruce Campbell was the only man that could truly capture the Banana mix of Bad ass and awesome. Though admittedly Mickey Rourke is a barrel of greatness.

My immediate thought for Vigil was Natalie Portman or Anne Hathaway. I have no real reson why though.

Yeah, they'd be OK! I can see Bruce Campbell being appealed to by the concept of dressing up like a giant banana too!

Thanks! I knew from the start I wanted to do my own version of the big 'meeting room scene' from Secret Wars. This was one of my earliest comic memories - in the first issue I bought of the British reprints of the title. Thanks for the kind words and the s!
