We back and we back and we back with more casting shenanigans. Y’all seem to be enjoying these and I love coming up with this kind of boo shit. This time around, we’re using BLP talent (from Turbo Graps 16) to recast the timeless classic Tombstone. Time to skin that smoke wagon peeps!
Warhorse as Wyatt Earp: who better to lead the pack than the newest IWTV Champion? Warhorse would roll into Tombstone looking for the quiet life, only to be dragged back into the world he was trying to escape.
Joshua Bishop as Doc Holliday: Val Kilmer’s performance as Doc is the stuff of legend. I want to say it was tough casting Bishop in this spot but he was the first to come to mind. Admittedly a very swole Holliday, but Bishop just brings the right amount of crazy to the role. The man would also rock the shit out of that sweet ass Doc mustache.
Alex Zayne as Virgil Earp: Virgil is dependable as they come and a known lover of tacos. Alright, I’m not sure about the last part, but for the time period, I bet there were some really good tacos to be had which would be right up AZ’s alley. Like Virgil, we know we can count on Zayne in a pinch PLUS he’s got that crazy in him that will be called upon from time to time.
Blake Christian as Morgan Earp: Another even-keeled guy that has all kinds of loco just brewing inside. Blake/Zayne both showed that when given their shots, they’re gonna take advantage and not miss. Sounds like a couple of perfect Earp brothers.
Jeremy Wyatt as Curly Bill: Wyatt had to be included as one of the big bads, y’all. Powers Boothe was sensational as Bill so them is some pretty big shoes to fill. I’m confident his turn as Curly Bill would have everyone in awe. Wyatt just has that certain…asshole-ness that would translate well in this role.
Erick Stevens as Johnny Ringo: This is as good as it gets. Stevens, with full mohawk, cutting the “Pale horse” promo at the beginning of the film would have me shaking. Ringo takes over for Bill after Wyatt puts ole Curly in the grave leading to a duel between Ringo and Doc. Stevens vs Bishop in this scenario. That’s what I’m after.
Jake Something as Sherman McMasters: Sherman switches allegiance from those dastardly Cowboys to the revenge posse led by Wyatt. Jake Something has the look of a guy that would do some mean shit but maybe eventually see the error in his ways. Or maybe not. I’m gonna be hopeful and say Jake joins up with the good guys solely for that crew of badasses to be joined if only for a short time.
