(A/N: I got the idea after seeing the movie "Transformers" for the second time. I thought to myself, "Change the characters around a little, and a DP movie could be a great fanfiction." So, here we are, enjoy the prologue and get acquainted with the characters, and I should have the first chapter out soon. BTW, all characters who are not completely human will be at least partially CGI enhanced (including Freakshow, because he thinks that he's a ghost).)

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, nor do I own any the mentioned actors/actresses.

Danny - Frankie Muniz. He has had several roles playing average teenage boys, but has also shown himself capable of being heroic, selfless, and brave in his acting. I honestly was considering Shia LeBouf and Daniel Radcliff for Danny, but I'm tired of seeing LeBouf in every new movie that comes along and Radcliff is too much of a pretty boy. Beside, Muniz looks the role pretty well. Reference? Big Fat Liar.

Sam - Katie Leung. While her role as Cho Chang in the Harry Potter franchise has potentially characterized her as a bit of a prep, remember that Cho in the books was kind, clever, brave, and athletic (she was the Ravenclaw Seeker), just like Sam. Besides, she would look the role of Sam pretty well, although I think a punk rocker persona would be better than a goth persona (while retaining the vegetarian dogma). Just change things around to make her half Chinese/half Jewish, and we've got our Sam Manson.

Tucker - Daniel Curtis Lee. He played Cookie on "Ned's School Survival Guide," giving him EXACTLY the kind of experience needed to play a techno-geek who thinks a lot of himself (although he may have to drop a few pounds).

Jack - John Goodman. His role as Dan Conner on "Roseanne" gives him the level of joviality needed to play Jack, and his role as Violet's dad in "Coyote Ugly" shows a harder side needed for Jack's serious moments.

Maddie - Lauren Graham. Funny, eccentric, intelligent, maybe a bit of a kid in a woman's body at times. Maddie Fenton in celluloid, baby. Just try to imagine Lorelei Gilmore firing a shotgun loaded with ectoplasmic buckshot into a ghost's chest.

Jazz - Laura Prepon. Her character of Donna Pinciotti from That 70's Show is like Jazz: Smart, driven, ambitious, and loving. Besides, she really looks the part. Almost more so than another other of my selected characters.

Paulina - Megan Fox. Like Laura Prepon, she greatly resembles her character, and, based on her performance as Mikaela Baines in Transformers, she could easily pull off that snooty, preppy, and shallow behavior that Paulina made into an art form.

Dash - Danny Masterson. Remember Hyde from "That 70's Show? Make him a little more ruthless, take away the beard, and maybe give him a lighter shade of hair color, and we've got Dash Baxter, our bully. Just imagine him saying "Fenton" in the same, disdain-filled manner he sometimes says "Foreman" in.

Kwan - Wilmer Valderrama. Okay, let's be honest: He hasn't exactly made a career out of playing football jocks, and his eponymous character, Fez, is a bit of a nerd, but think about it: Fez was kinda like Hyde's sidekick. Kwan is Dash's sidekick. The two of them would work well together. True, he's not Korean like Kwan is, but change his accent a little and he'll sound like it. Besides, remember that one episode of "Ground for Life" when he raced against Sean for their cars' keys? He can be a thug if he wants to.

Vlad Masters/Plasmius - Christopher Lee. His entire career has been built around playing dark, spooky characters. I DARE you to name someone who could do Vlad better than Christopher Lee. For his costume, I'm thinking something like Darth Tyrannus from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, but in Vlad's colors.

College Vlad - Jim Carrey. He is the perfect character for Vlad's college days because I believe that Vlad was a nutty-nut bar from the nut farm BEFORE he got zapped by the Proto-Portal. True, he looks almost nothing like Christopher Lee, but hey, people can change a lot in 20 years. Add a little CGI tweak, and nobody's the wiser.

Valerie - Zoë Saldaña. As Annamaria in "Pirates of The Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl," she was tough, tenacious, and yet capable of gentleness, just like Valerie. The fact that she's Dominican and not African-American would actually add a refreshment to the movie.

Mr. Lancer - Richard Riehle. Walt Finnerty in the TV show "Grounded for Life," he can be hard, serious, and yet caring and a perfect comic relief, definitely good for the role.

Freakshow - Linus Roache. The Purifier in "The Chronicles of Riddick," he's perfect as a character who looks, sounds, and acts creepy, as well as one who tends to skulk about in the shadows.

Clockwork - David Carradine. Voice from the TV show

Skulker - Kevin Michael Richardson. Practically the authority on doing voices for cartoon villains. Voice from the TV show

Technus - Rob Paulsen. Voice from the TV show

Box Ghost - Gilbert Gottfried. Providing the voice of Iago in "Aladdin," Dr. Bender in "Fairly Odd Parents," and that platypus in "My Gym Partner's a Monkey," he comes across more as annoying than anything else. Just like the Box Ghost.

Ember - Jennifer Hale (speaking). Lending her voice to Princess Serena in "Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists," Jun in "Avatar: The Last Airbender," and Sonya Blade in "Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins," who better to do Ember?; Christine Lorentzen (singing). She sang the song to that new "BIONICLE: Barraki" commercial, which virtually everyone I know loves. Perfect voice to work with Jennifer Hale's.

Walker - Billy Bob Thornton. Walker's a jerk. Thornton is really good at playing jerks. Best I can do for this one

Wulf - Dee Bradley Baker. Voice from the TV show.

Spectra - Goldie Hawn. As her performances in "Overboard" and "Bird on a Wire" demonstrate, she is very good at playing bitchy women who use others to get what they want. Like Spectra.

Bertrand - Billy West. With such roles as Slimer from "Extreme Ghostbusters," Zapp Brannigan from "Futurama," and Stimpy from "The Ren and Stimpy Show" under his belt, he's a perfect subordinate for Spectra.

The Lunch Lady - Grey DeLisle, à la Gramma Stuffum from Codename: Kids Next Door.

Sydney Poindexter - Woody Allen. 'Nuff said.

Fright Knight - Karl Urban. Think Lord Vaako from "The Chronicles of Riddick."

Johnny 13 - Nicolas Cage. Roles as Amos in "Amos & Andrew" and Johnny Blaze in "Ghost Rider" qualify him as a suitable voice actor for Johnny. His shadow doesn't really talk, so no need for a voice, there.

Kitty - Halle Berry. Like Jinx in "Die Another Day," she can be stubborn, rough around the edges, but still sexy in her own way (even though she TOTALLY deserved the Razzie Award she got for Catwoman).

Pariah Dark - Hugo Weaving, à la Megatron from the Transformers movie. Dark, merciless, and powerful beyond measure.

Dan Phantom - Vin Diesel. His deep, almost-sinister baritone voice would make a perfect Dark Danny, not to mention how his larger-than-life roles make him a perfect contrast to Frankie Muniz.

(If anybody has some idea as to who could play Sam's and Tucker's parents, or who could play a certain character better than who I've selected, please tell.)
