I reckon just get Jason Statham, but use the computer effects to make him big. You know, like they did to Hagrid in the Potter movies, or the hobbits in LOTR.
When I set out from the boy's attic window, my head was so full of competing plans and complex strategems that I didn't look where I was going and flew straight into a chimney.

Hagrid had a special suit + stilt like legs

The Hobbits were shot using strange camera views, so that everything and everyone else looked bigger, I think.

Didn't they use children and kneeling adults for the hobbits a lot?

The hobbits all had midget doubles they used for distance shots, but the films also featured extremely heavy use of forced perspective, including some newly developed techniques. Harry Potter used many of the same effects to make Hagrid look bigger.

If a Barti movie were to be made, Jason Statham should be Verroq.

I vote Brian Blessed for the voice of Nouda.

You know, for some reason, I always visualized Quentin Makepeace as having the face of the guy on the cover of every Mad magazine.

Yeah, I'd go for Mr.Blessed to be Nouda.
I want Michael Clarke Duncan or James Earl Jones to do the deep Barti voice in the first scene of AoS.

Thank you :nod:
What about Christian Bale as Lovelace?
A bit thinner than in the Dark Knight, obviously.

You're suggesting that different actors should do Bart's voice depending on his guise?
Seeing as all Bart really is (to us) is a voice, I think it should be the same voice throughout. Maybe a few editing tweaks now and then to suit his guise, but all in all the same voice.

No.
One usual guy, then others for particuaraly deep or high notes.
And, when he takes other guises of people, other people would play him.
We might have him talk in his voice as another person sometimes.

But all he IS is a voice. Even Jonathan Stoud said so. I'm starting to agree with Apollo here, a (good) movie of the trilogy would be hard to make, let alone a movie that will satisfy US.

I'm not disagreeing with you.
We just can't have the same one for the entire thing, he takes guises of people, and he obviously wouldn't have a dudes voice for a chick he's impersonating.
