LMAO...

I've heard Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested for Paul's cameo, but I'm thinking Matt Damon.

I kind of like Jay Baruchel for Greg Needel, but Greg reserves the right to play himself so he can get a IMDB entry.

OH PLEASE YES. I would love to see her as a drive coach. I'm sure I would be laughing for days.

Who would play dean kamen? Also Just would love to see people screaming for super cells saying go go go. This actually wouldn't be totally horrible it could be actually quite funny. @Baker You would come save the day when the team breaks a transmission or something and they would be in a state of panic. Then you show up in a truck and go " You need a hand?" (That's why I don't write anything.)

Not to break up the fun in this thread, but why not just have those who the story is written about, play themselves? I feel like it would be most fitting - assuming they don't look too old for the roles..?

People who are not actors are not nearly as good at this as one might think.

Both that, and it's practically a requirement to talk about which famous movie stars would be funny/good as a certain character.

This would be an awesome movie, even if it would already be outdated game-wise.

They can be trained, presumably. Didn't you see the Mythbusters episode a few weeks back where Adam and Jamie got acting lessons--in acting like each other?

It was the "Mission Impossible" episode, aired about 2-3 weeks ago. How many people did they fool? Depended on range and whether they talked or not.

I'm fairly certain that they wouldn't need to be actors, considering it's a book written about their experiences... A few tips and maybe a lesson or two is probably all many of them would need.

As cool that would be, if I were I in that situation I would get too nervous to do a proper job, thus why I'm an engineer not an actor. :p I think it'll be better and hopefully they get big names to make the movie happen and that they do it well. It'll help create this culture change in the real world that Dean and Woodie founded USFIRST for.

I really hope they do the FIRST community justice and really capture the spirit and enthusiasm we all share.

I think a bigger factor than their acting skills/ability to be trained is whether or not they would have the time to film the material...especially since they have day jobs.

They probably will have a announcement during kickoff telling the details.

People are terrible at acting natural on camera without proper training. It would be painful to watch a robotics team act in a full length movie, even one that was about that robotics team. Acting is significantly more difficult than you would expect.

If you don't believe me bring a camera to a meeting, when some one on your team does something interesting, ask them to do the exact same thing again for the camera, 99% of the time it won't look natural.
