Who Should Narrate New Spaceship Earth?

[Parker in NYC]

I can get behind Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, or Jeremy Irons...but no way to Ellen or Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett sounds like a cigarette. Like a cigarette. If a cigarette could talk.

Scarlett sounds like a cigarette. Like a cigarette. If a cigarette could talk.

She's just not interesting to listen to. At all.

She's just not interesting to listen to. At all.

Sat through her doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway. I never knew a more sedated heroine in a Tennessee Williams play.

 

[Joesixtoe]

Patrick Stewart

Nah William Shatner

Sam L Jackson

"Yes Rome deserved to die, AND I HOPE IT BURNED IT HELL!"

 

[Mac Tonight]

There is only one clear choice...

Corey Burton.

 

[OneofThree]

Liam Neeson.

 

[Texas84]

Pee Wee Herman

If she didn't have an empire of her own, I'd say Dolly Parton. "Now, we started out as poor folk in them caves but we had a good time! Singing songs on the porch, drawing stick figures on the walls. We didn't have much but we had rocks."

"Daddy never learned to read. But he was the smartest man I knew. In fact, I bet he could have taught the Phoenicians a thing or two!"

"Michaelangelo brought the glory of the Lord to us with his frescoes. (starts singing bluegrass gospel)."

"Baby, I'm burning but Rome had me beat."

I could go on for days.

Hide me, but I had to write more Dolly:

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was I!"
"Oh, look, one of the monks fell asleep. Just like me in church! Some things never change, I guess!"
"As we look into the future, let's remember that communication can be used for good and for not so good. Words matter. So don't be a b-o-o-b! And I know all about those!"

Then she, Kenny Rogers, and the Smoky Mountain Children's Choir end with the most magical rendition of Tomorrow's Child you've ever heard.

Shhhhh! I'm trying to talk on the phone!

No, there will be no cinema scene, but there will be a farm scene where a farmer is in the yard strangling a chicken. Everyone will understand the symbolism, chuckle and move on.

U guys, jimmy fallon

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I personally would say Tony Baxter - especially if this is going to be about storytelling.

If we require a GP famous person, I'm in the Irons camp.
