eumeliaYes, I'm doing it!
The most comprehensive linkage of the meme is here!
Chromatic Castings of The New Doctor Who (9th and 10th) and Torchwood (Series 1-2)!
The Doctor and His Companions
Djimon Hounsou as the 9th Doctor
Anjali Jay as Rose Tyler
Tadanobu Asano as the 10th Doctor
Freema Agyeman stays as Martha Jones!
Meera Syal as Donna Noble
And edited to add, 'cause I was inspired:
Paterson Joseph as the Master!
Ryuhei Matsuda as Lucy Saxson. Yes, this is a genderswitch... still pretty, sad-looking, eye-candy though.
Torchwood - Heroes of Cardiff and the World at large!
Sophie Okonedo as Gwen Cooper
Suheir Hammad as Dr. Owen Harper.
Naoko Mori stays as Dr. Toshiko Sato.
Parminder Nagra as Ianto Jones
And last, but certainly not least!
Gina Torres as Captain Jack Harkenss!
Well, Yes, my Cardiff is full of beautiful women.

Date: 2010-01-27 11:04 am (UTC)I'm glad you like. The hardest for me to recast was Ianto, 'cause I love GDL. But once I decided to genderswitch Owen, I decided to genderswitch them all!
So then it was easy. Even tough Gina Torres is the bestest ever to be the Captain, I'd really love to see Taye Diggs as Jack :D

Date: 2010-01-27 03:41 pm (UTC)Tadanobu Asano looks like he was born to play the Doctor. Holy crap.
I love Gina Torres as Captain Jack. So much yes.

Date: 2010-01-27 06:28 pm (UTC)I now can't unsee it. It's like Tennant never was (blasphemy? Hey, I'm a heretic!).
I was actually thinking - which two hawt women do I want to see make out? The answer was all of them - but Torres' height along with Nagra's soulful eyes was the kicker :)
I chose Hammad for Owen because she's got that hardness in her, ya know. She can be cutting and sweet at the same time.
Sophie is just a sweetheart. Like Gwen!

Date: 2010-01-27 10:15 pm (UTC)Does that make me sexist? That I could only imagine a woman as Ianto were it not GDL? *sigh* all this slash/gender meta is screwing with my perception.
no subject
Date: 2010-01-27 10:18 pm (UTC)Gina Torres would be awesome as Jack! But I also adore your choices for Ianto, Owen, Nine and Ten...
(It's more difficult for me to see Sophie Okonedo as Gwen, because in my head she is Alison from "Scream of the Shalka" ^^)
no subject
Date: 2010-01-27 10:23 pm (UTC)Ha! According to IMDB Okonedo going to be in the second episode of the new season of Who - so we'll see how Okonedo goes.
See, for me, Okonedo is Tatiana Rusesabagina from Hotel Rwanda, so my association is a tad different :)

Date: 2010-01-27 10:32 pm (UTC)Thinking about it, I'm curious about your choice about a chromatic Master...

Date: 2010-01-27 10:43 pm (UTC)Parminder Nagra shows up on so many lists... I had no idea who she was until now, had to look her up.
MMmmmmmmm Gina Torres...

Date: 2010-01-28 05:11 am (UTC)And Sophie Okonedo is awesome. I loved her in Dirty Pretty Things, which starred Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Funny, when they started talking about Torchwood USA, my first thought was casting Benjamin Bratt as Captain Jack because I thought the show could use a little color.

Date: 2010-01-28 07:45 am (UTC)Benjamin Bratt lacks the charisma that John Barrowman exudes. I'd like to see Taye Diggs as the Captain if it were gonna happen in the US :D They need a song and dance man.
