Godzilla: the Series Anime Edition

A surprisingly strong follow-up to Tristar's American Godzilla movie misstep. Now, we're gonna recast it with anime voice actors.

The Hound

The year? 1645. The place? Dartmoor, in Devon, England. Outside the village of Grimpen is Baskerville Hall, the home of the Royalist Baskerville family, most notably young Hugo Baskerville. With his father Richard dying from war wounds sustained from fighting the rebels, it's only a matter of time before young Hugo inherits the fortune. And God help us all when he does. Or should that be "devil help us?" Because, the old folks that live on the moor speak of something living out there, something beyond human laws. A being that obeys instincts and desires we can't hope to know of. Ruins of ancient villages, stone circles made for no discernable purpose, and a mire that seems to devour anything that tries to cross it. Hugo may soon learn that if you value your life or your reason, keep away from the moor... especially in those hours when evil is exaulted.

World's Finest

In this new animated series, Gotham City and Metropolis are twin cities, one in New Jersey the other in Delaware. And in such close proximity, it's no wonder that two of the world's finest heroes regularly team up. Evil billionaires, intrepid reporters, crime clowns, intrigue, mystery, adventure, it's all here! But you can't make a world alone. So If YOU (the viewer) have any ideas for episodes, PM me and I'll help make your ideal episode of a Superman/Batman team up series a reality. The only rules are that they have to be either Superman or Batman characters. I'll mainly be using my personal casts for the characters, but feel free to suggest for anyone I haven't cast yet.

Hell's Boiling Point

So get this... there's this girl. Normal girl, nothing strange about her. She lives with her mom, goes to school, reads her favorite books, the works. Sure, she’s a bit of a rambunctious kid with a big imagination, but she isn’t packing some hidden powers or anything. But she does know how to get herself into messes. See, she causes a few incidents at school cause of her more… “ambitious” projects. Gets a little too graphic in a play, uses a swarm of spiders for a model Griffon, and brings in snakes for a book report. So after the snake thing, ol’ mom decides it’s time to reign in her daughter’s imagination. She signs her up for this summer camp that’s all about bookkeeping and filing taxes and… reality. She sees her kid off, but needs to leave for work before the bus arrives. She trusts her girl and asks her to text once she gets to camp. After work, the mom texts her daughter, to see if she made it okay. The girl confirms. Pretty normal, nothing seemingly wrong… but then about that time, that’s when the actual counselors at the camp call and tells her she never made it. And where the real trouble begins. And that's when things turn sideways...

Spider-Man: Small Time

Yeah, yeah, we all know the story. Spider bite, uncle dies, become the hero, get the girl. Is there anything we can do to mix up the webhead's origin to make it more than a pale imitation of what's come before? How about focusing on his relationship with his uncle? Instead of dying before the half-way point of the movie, why not have Ben live until the third act? Why not focus on realism? Spider-man can still crack jokes, but why not make New York look like real-life New York, warts and all? Why not take out Supervillains and have Spider-Man fight gangbangers and organized crime? Why not focus on the time between Spider-Man developing his powers and Spider-Man confronting his uncle's killer in real time, rather than just making it a plot point? Why do we need a love interest either? We can make a cool Spider-Man film without a love story. Why not show Spider-Man Small Time?

Ghost Rider: Original Sins

What would you do for your family? Would you sell your soul? Shoulder a curse? Track down demons of hell? Or would you throw down with an archangel? Naomi Blaze, a stunt rider for the Quentin Carnival with her husband, finds herself caught between heaven and hell when a mysterious man with power beyond belief comes to take her children away. In desperation, she becomes host to a terrible family curse she didn't even know about. Now, as "the Devil's Bounty Huner", Naomi must contend with the vilest forces in all of creation to keep her loved ones safe and to fulfill the job she signed up for. When night falls... when innocent blood is shed... the Rider comes sheathed in hellfire. Witness the story of a familiar hero told in a whole new way. Witness a new direction, a tale dedicated to the Ghost Rider before Johnny Blaze.

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens' immortal ghost story is brought to life once again, this time with the talents of Christopher Eccelston as the premier yuletide humbug and filtered through the lens of psychology and surrealism.

Milk Run

Griffin Wallace just wanted to get his son infant son, Tyler, some milk. But honestly, between getting a price put on his head, pissing off someone who might be a serial killer, and running afoul of the corrupt police man's union, you'd think it couldn't get worse. You'd be wrong.

The Scores that Made us

There's always that one song we love. That one tune we catch ourselves thinking about when nobody else is around. And often, they come from the films close to our hearts. So, dear MyCast users, here is a place for you to show everyone what your favorite movie soundtracks are.

Gray Universe: The Devil and the Watchman

The town of Knudd, a little nowhere in the center of a dustbowl, sees its first visitor in a good long while arrive. On foot no less. And behind him, comes the infamous "White Plague", a sickness which leaves a pale bruises on the victim's skin and renders the victim sightless. The watchman Sam has suspicions that the newcomer, named Fleabite, may be the cause of it. But what follows is a game of wits and nerves between the town's watchman and someone who may very well be the devil. From the studio that brought you Netflix's Castlevania and the creator of Fantastic Four Animated comes a story from the lips of the lone walker himself.

Which is Vangelis's Best Work

He was born Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou, to a father named Odysseus. He developed a love for music at age four. He has guided chariots of fire, joined the conquest of paradise, ran blades, and followed Alexander the Great. He is Vangelis. And now has come the time to decide which of his works is supreme.

Ranma 1/2

Cursed water that turns you into everything from an animal to another person, gender roles out the window, hijinks of the most frustrating variety. It's a new adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi's less-than-epic story of love triangles, martial arts, and the life lesson of "there's no such thing as a free Lunch." Featuring an all star cast from Funimation.

Smith's Grove

There were approximately 5475 days between the time Michael Audrey Myers committed his first act of murder and the Halloween night in which he passed into American Legend. But what happened in between those events? Why did Dr. Samuel Loomis, a psychiatrist, believe Michael didn't deserve a chance to heal? The answers all lie in Smith's Grove.

Blood for Blood

When Shiloh finds himself half dead from crossfire of an event he can't even fathom, he strikes a deal. A deal with a man known only as "the contractor". Now, Shiloh finds himself working in with a group of PDs (that's post-deceased, to the uninitiated), all of whom have a very Mafioso-like mindset. It's the Francis Ford Coppola's greatest hits (and misses) collection in the town of Maiden Hill and when trouble comes knocking, it's gonna be blood for blood.

Terra Magi: The Serpent King

A spin-off and prequel to the Terra Magi series, depicting a bloody time in their country's history, in the country of Iberia. This is the story of Fulgencio I. This is the story of the Serpent King.

Fantastic Four Animated

When four explorers gain powers from a mysterious anomaly in outer space, they find themselves thrust into an all new life; a life of worlds hidden beneath the sea and within the earth's crust, new frontiers in galaxies clear across the universe, strange new powers, invention in every meaning of the word, dangers untold, and discoveries that were until recently beyond human comprehension. In this all new animated series adapting Lee and Kirby's first family of comics, you'll come to realize, True Believers, that when your closest friends and family are part of the world's greatest adventure, life can only be summed up in one word: Fantastic.

Dr. Doom is Roma

I know ya'll have your own choices for the good doctor, but indulge one MyCast user's intellectual curiosity. In the comics, Doctor Doom is Romani, so I was wondering if there were any romani actors in Hollywood capable of playing him.

Terra Magī

From the studio that brought you RWBY and Gen:Lock, and the mind behind Superman Genesis and Now Anger be Your Song comes an all new animated series of a world of shadow and magic. In a world similar to the 1600s, magic and myth conflate with realities, but evil remains the same. Heroes, villains, greed and courage, the tales of Europe, the stuff of legends lives here, in the city of Grail. In the world of Terra Magī. A world built by magic. A world built by many.

A Truly Fantastic Four

Yes, yes, this is the upteenth FF story on this site. And just like my other ones, it's going to be where you can cast anyone, alive or dead, as Marvel's first family. Just... try to keep it interesting, ok guys?

Bram Stoker's Dracula: Girlboss version

From the depths of our fevered subconscious comes this: a genderbent version of Francis Ford Coppola's stylish vampire romance. Travelling to Transylvania, solicitor Joan Harker meets the eccentric countess Dracula, to finalize the the Countess's purchase of Carfax Abbey in London. But the Countess has sinister intentions for Joan's Fiancee, Will Murray.
