- Neil Casey, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, 2016. “Ain’t no bitches gonna hunt no ghosts,” said an on-line video in the film – and zillions of Ghostfans across the planet. The “comedy” failed rather than the ladies. Director Paul Feig had Dinklage, the Game of Thronessuperstar in mind for the villain – a killer-turned-ghostghost when his execution is disrupted by an electric storm. Rewritten for Casey as a bullied geek using the paranormal moves to achieve bully status for himself.
- Alan Tudyk, Big Hero 6, 2014. Alec Baldwin, Peter Dinklage, Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Alfred Malina, John Malkovich, Gary Oldman, Mandy Pantinkin, Hugo Weaving and UK comics John Cleese and Eddie Izzard were listed for voicing Alistair Kreiin Disney’s first Marvel subject – winning the best animation Oscar. It unfurled in 2023 (we all know that computer battery number, right?) in San Fransokyo (‘Frisco rebuilt by the Japanese after an earthquake) and deals with a bunch of superheroes with the titular collective name… that nobody ever uses. Krei was the arch foe of the super-nemesis played by James Cromwell. Ten years before, he had created the I, Robot called Sonny, played by… Tudyk.
