Now that Gary Oldman seems that he is not going to voice grevious. Who will voice him then. My top three actors to voice him are Tim Curry,Alan Rickman,or Tony Jay. What are your pics ppl?

PVS
steven wright

zutalurs
Sherman Hemsley

Cowboyography
how about Tony Todd!!! from the Candyman. Scary!!!!

PVS
R Lee Ermey

"DONT YOU EYEBALL ME YOU JEDI MAGGOT!!!

I WILL RIP YOUR EYEBALLS OUT AND SKULL**** YOU!!!"

that would rule

Sesse
Sean Connery.

Darth_Duffy
joe pasquali

zutalurs
Wanda Sikes

queeq
Jerry Seinfeld.

PVS
GG: WhaAAaAat is UuuUUuup with ThaAAaat?
laughing laughing laughing laughing

Darth Sauron

Oh joe pasquali laughing

PVS
Sauron: Man of a Thousand Sigs

Darth Sauron
Icant find one i like weep

PVS
too bad orson wells is dead

LanİeWindu
Whoever they choose, the voice will more than likely be put through synthesizers to make it sound mechanical and raspy.

So it doesn't really matter.

waynerobsonuk
well my vote would go for either Malcolm Mcdowell as he's do one helluva job at creeping everyone out. Or after watching the film Phone Booth - Keifer Sutherland. .
But Mcdowell is still my first choice. Although Grevious isn't a sith He should still have an over bareing presence in the film like the other sith we have see so far. Quietly spoken but with a voice that carries a sense of power.
Anyways thats my views for what they are worth.

Wayne...

PVS
i think it should be steven hawking
they wouldnt even have to distort the voice

PVS
or perhaps the guy who does the voice for stewie

cal31
yes I can just see it now


General Grevious" Bring me a cup cake and for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you!!!!"

Darth Nizzle
Ithink Anthony Hopkins "Hello Jedi" and eats them or
Arnold Schwarzenegger "a sta la vista jedi !" and shoots them all
would both make good voices for GG

moonwalker741
hahahaa laughing laughing laughing **falls off computer chair**
laughing out loud laughing out loud

PVS
god this thread is hilarious laughing laughing laughing

moonwalker741
" Bring me a cup cake and for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you!!!!"

captainmidnight
gilbert goddfried......if he's not too busy with hollywood squares?

NoFate007
It sucks if they can't get Gary Oldman, he'd be perfect I think...but Hopkins..hm...that might be a really good idea, Hannibal's voice...I like.

Maybe Joe Pesci? haha j/k...what about....Gabriel Byrne, Michael Madsen, Willem Dafoe, or Johnathan Pryce ala Tomorrow Never Dies?

rayj
can you imagine if she did it right it would be so weird and creepy I would love it! smokin'

PVS
joe pesci

LOL

GG talking to obiwan:

"I think, in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do...For instance tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early and take a walk down over to the jedi temple and...walk in and see you and um... if you don't have my money for me I'll crack your f***in head wide open in front of everybody in the council...
...and just about the time I'm coming out of jail...hopefully...you'll be coming out of your coma...and guess what? I'll split your f***in head open again. Cause I'm f***in stupid...I don't give a f*** about jail...thats my business...thats what I do.

cavola
i would opt for Brian Cox

the voice would obviously be treated then.

Obi 1 ' No Son of the republic will ever submit to some foreign alien'

GG 'Then every Jedi shall die '

captainmidnight
they had a thing on tfn that mark hamill would do a good job...

PVS
oh that would RUUUUUUUUUUUUULE eek!

captainmidnight
yeah i think it would work....apparently he's done voices for the joker on some batman cartoon or something,plus he was in the insider 77 mag talking about voice overs,so mabey its a possibility....

NoFate007
Lol, then they'll have a scene where someone hears Luke and goes "...Grievous?.."

Maybe they should get Ben Stein

waynerobsonuk
yeah Hammil would work I think as he has done lots of voice over work b4.
Failing that lawrence fishburn...... Mind you mike myers would be hilarious!!!
Wayne..

waynerobsonuk
or....james earl jones.......
not as stupid as it sounds, thknk about it. Grevious is supposed to be a sort of prototype vader..so why not have a similar voice?

Wayne...

Morgoths_Wrath
Al Pacino all the way!

I can already see the memorable quotes rolling in from RoTS!

"You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!"

"I bury those Jedi cock-a-roaches! "

"Make way for the bad guy!"

And of course, Grevious's Confession...

" I betrayed my wife. I betrayed myself. I killed Jedi and I ordered Jedi to be killed. Ah, it's useless... I killed -- I ordered the death of my brother. He injured me. I killed my mother's son. I killed my father's son."




I pray GL reads this, this is the part Al Pacino was born to play

PVS
scarface GG i love it!!! lol

picture GG's mask covered in cocain, obiwan keeps shooting him

GG: JOU CANT KILL ME!!! JOU WHORE!!!! I TAKE JOUR F***IN BULLETS!!!!!

Morgoths_Wrath
Jedi beware, GG is comin for ya, Cuban gangsta style!

"I'm General Grevious! Jou f*** wit me, jou f***in' wit da best!"

hacksawfg
Brad Dourif could be a good choice

beer

amity75
Stephen Hawking is far too pretentious, I mean, the guy comes from Kent in England and yet he speaks in an American accent!

Darth_Duffy
quoting ricky gervais!

i sincerely hope you werent going to pass that gag off as your own wink

PVS
BUSTED!!!!!!! eek!

NoFate007
ooo, burn

cavola
Tommy Lee Jones ; Ron Perlman ; Brian Cox

i would personally go for Perlman

Indy_Knight
They guy who done Darth Maul's voice ? Whats his name?

cavola
Peter Serafinowicz ?

Ken Benobi
I thought Maul was Ray Parks

Ken Benobi
I think for the voice they could use the "Predator".

darth_surgent
Yeah, Maul was played by Ray Park, but they used Peter Serafinowicz for his one little line.

NoFate007
Richard Simmons

Ken Benobi
maybe somethin like the voice of the silons from Battlestar Galactica

queeq
Or Balthazar.

cavola
never seen that ; Any Good ?

queeq
Well.... not by today's standards I guess. It was fun at the time, when we were young. Haven't seen the MOVIE though *shudders*

Cipher
The Cylon voice would seriously rule, but why not just use the same guy who voiced Grievous in the cartoon? He sounded good....

queeq
Cylon voice is sooooo 80s.

Cipher
Wouldn't that be 70s? The show came out in 1978....

queeq
Oh... we got it early eighties or so... Anyway, that metallic voice is too synthesiserisch. Ben Burtt can do much better than that.

Cipher
True enough. I still think they should just use the guy who did it for the Clone Wars series.......

wolfdraven
Jeremy Irons would also be a prime candidate to me.

wolfdraven
As much as a fan I am of Al Pacino. I do not see him ever being in a SW film. I mean come on when have you ever seen Pacino in a sci-fi film period. To me Pacino is above SW. He's simply too damn good of an actor to do this film. And in all honesty he would steal the film.

queeq
He was in Simone... wink

wolfdraven
I wouldn't consider Simone a sci-fi film Queeq. Just a comedy.

queeq
wink means: I'm kidding.

wolfdraven
I know I just knew somebody would say Simone. Its cool Queeq.

PVS
no, queeq may be joking, but he is correct.\

it had it's funny moments,
but it still falls in the sci-fi genre i believe.

PVS
so he's just too good an actor to be soiled by star wars?

then why was he in Gigli? check his filmography, its true

.............say no more............

darktim1
how about the guy who played freddy kruger that's my picks.

queeq
Hmmm... I think it's gonna be Ben Burtt again. wink

PVS
........michael jackson

PVS
GG: i gotta go...i want to play with the younglings

queeq
"Nice lightsabres you have there"

PVS
LOL

GG: would you like to see my lightsaber?

(NEWS REPORT:GG has been arrested and detained amidst allegations of child molestation. Evidence against GG includes alledged detailed description of GG's lightsaber by younglings who claim to have been molested.)

queeq
laughing out loud

NoFate007
Rosie O'donnell...that voice scares everyone.

PVS
rosie would make a wonderful jabba

darktim1
for sure.

PVS
now i'm having disturbing images of rosie
licking leah's face with her giant tounge puke

queeq
Oooooh.... Gross Alert!

PVS
rosie "soon you will learn to appreciate me"

queeq
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!

PVS
3p0: "OOooOOOooOO a cant bare to watch"

laughing laughing

amity75
I'm caught! I was actually but I hadn't reckoned on fellow members of the UK!

CinematicESP
Since when isn't Gary Oldman doing Grievous?

PVS
since......right.........................................NOW

cavola
since august 25th {officially}

CinematicESP
What's your source?

PVS
dont say it cavola, i know you want to say it, but dont laughing laughing laughing laughing

cavola
whats your business ?

Its not him and thats that ; point blank
please refrain from asking sources . my avi gets anxiousness confused

Creechuur
They should have Frank Oz do his voice.

Is this the first serious reponse in this thread? I read the first page and saw nothing but jokes so I'm not sure.

Just for humors sake, I'll throw Richard Simmons in there.

Cipher
I still say they should use the guy who did Grievous's voice in the Clone Wars series. That sounded good to me, just throw in a little Ben Burtt audio magic...

Mortanius
Bruce Dickinson.

Cipher
Who?

Mortanius
You wouldn't understand.

Creechuur
Oderus Urungus

NoFate007
I still think Gabriel Byrne would be kinda cool

unknown hero
Surely if its a prototype for Vader then it is most likely to have James Earl Jones' voice?

Darth Malik
Rob Zombie!

Cipher
That would be very cool......

queeq
laughing out loud Neither can I.

darth_surgent
Hello, people! Vader's voice is entirely different from Anakin's, so it is not a simple modulation. It is an entirely new voice created through a program. Therefore, anyone can have that mechanical voice if they want. Grievous will be the first we see to have it. General Grievous has the voice of James Earl Jones! It has already been taped and is circulating on the net. He says lines like. "My army has been defeated, but I will not go so quietly. I have killed dozens of Jedi simultaneously; what chance do you have?"
BTW..........................................








































JUST KIDDING! Seriously though, if you believed me, then you deserved to be fooled. That was for taking credit for Ricky Gervais' work.

Okay, on topic. Though I am a big fan of John Dimaggio of Futurama, I don't think that he should be considered for Grievous' voice, contrary to many people who think he is in consideration.

Cipher
He should be, though. Let's face it, they're not going to get a big name. It'll just be some guy they found.....

guiro72
john dimaggio isn't the guy who does bender's voice is he?.....

my vote is for ralph brown....

darth_surgent
John DiMaggio is definitely the voice of Bender. Don't get him confused with Joe DiMaggio, though.

queeq
Chris Rock.

Cipher
Hmmm......

queeq
You know you like it!

darth_surgent
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'. Need I say more?"
-Chris Rock (the new voice of General Grievous from hereon)

Cipher
Well......

He did almost put the backstreet boys in Ep.2.........

Would that mean C-3PO wouldn't get as many... uhhh.... funny lines?

queeq
Good point!

But Grievous with Rock as his voice could definately beat Jar JAr as a funny character.

Cipher
Especially if he insulted the Jedi as he killed them. Some kind of comments about their celibacy, maybe?

queeq
laughing out loud

Cipher
I wasn't sure how far I could go with that.....
wink

queeq
You haven't reach the limit. So gimme an example.

Cipher
Well, there were ideas about their tendencies...
Yoda saying: "Judge me by my size, do you?" There were others, its been years....

queeq
Classic ones.

Cipher
There was a list online somewhere, probably a lot of places.....
Some of the comments are negated by the PT.

queeq
Get it.

PVS
YES!!!! GWAR!!!!! AWESOME DUDE@!!!!!

queeq
Who's Oderus?

PVS
singer of gwar.

wolfdraven
He's the singer for the band GWAR.

queeq
Oh..

amity75
I'm one of those who understand and you're spot on. It would be a dream come true for me to see a Star Wars/Iron Maiden connection.

CinematicESP
Gary Oldman

GCG

CinematicESP
Thank you. Now I believe you.

Jeremy Irons is the next best pick.

GCG
fancy that.

AND THEN MEMBERS ON THIS FORUM GET LFLed for some production pictures

POT KETTLE BLACK !!

Car15
christian coulson. GREAT voice candidate.

queeq
Jeremy Irons???? Hmm Scar as Grievous... Why not?

Ken Benobi
I think the Mark Hamill idea would rock, I've heard him do some of those other voices and he is good, plus it would be a cool way to finish the movies off- but not likely to happen methinks...

queeq
Nope.

captainmidnight
This would never happen but MIKE PATTON,man with a 1000 voices would be sweet.......

Anakin2Vader
Anthony Daniels

Ken Benobi
Rock Moranus- So....Lonestar, once again we see that evil triumphs over good.... "lift that helmet up, I can never tell if you're making faces at me under there" (Mel Brooks, Space Balls)

PVS
you have the ring.....and i see your schwartz is as big as mine!
lets see how well you...handle it

ShiftyEyes
So are the other actors violating SAG rules by starring in the films?

darth_surgent
If they are members of SAG, then yes, they are violating union contracts. The next step is to investigate which of these actors are actually involved with SAG.

rayj
the stewie voice from family guy

Cipher
How about: using the audio magic of Ben Burtt, the General is voiced by-

George Lucas!!

wink

Creechuur
Uhh, how bout NO, Cipher. sick

Captainmidnight, for uttering the name of Mike Patton you have proven yourself a gentleman of taste and refinement. The man is a musical genious. He'd make a great Greivous.

Cipher
Hey, a lot of people consider Lucas a villian where these new films are concerned...... It would be a great twist.......

PVS
GL-GG!?!? yeah, but then where would GG fit the huge double chin?big grin

queeq
His CGI people can easily erase that. And make his beard black again.

Cipher
They can do anything!

But I meant his voice......

Its the last movie, why not? Or he could be a Jedi Anakin kills.......

guiro72
or a wookie....

DARK ASSASSIN
good voice......christopher walkins

PVS
oh that would just be creepy!!!
especially since walken can't do impressions...or even change his
way of talking...


..he's a hell of a dancer though....but i dont see how that would help GG's character

Altar[1stONE]
david carradine or mike madsen

Cipher
Walken might be good, but its not the same if you can't see his face while he's
talking......
