All they have to do is run the actors by with Rainbow and thats it. And if a actress auditions for the role of lets say Tenca, they know background info about this character and they know that they will have to dye there hair. Its not up to the actors. Its up to the producer/director. If the actor refuses to dye there hair, the studio gets rid of them and finds someone how will dye there hair. There hair color will most likely stay the same. I have seen Musa's Blue Black hair dye before while in Target. Stormys hair can easliy be a wig. Riven will most likely not have the same hair style as in the cartoon. And depending on who they cast as Aisha, she may not have the puffy hair as in the show. But thats the most changes they will make.

Actually using the example of Scooby Doo Mystery Begins/Lake Monster, It was Robbie Amell's choice to have his natural brown hair in the story instead of the more familiar blonde so sometimes when the actor is the only possible person who fits the role and objects to the hair dye and a wig, they can imply that the character dyes their hair and the actor refused to. The producer/director has to listen to the actor as much as the actor has to listen to them, so it's more of a 50/50

Much like everyone's saying, I'd watch it if everything was really well thought and planned out. With all the CGI technology that's available (like in the Hunger Games, Avatar, etc.), a live action winx movie would definitely be capable of being awesome. Casting definitely needs to be really well thought out especially- I don't want my eardrums to hurt! Again!

I agree with Jinafire comment.
And I don't think there would be difference in casting made in Italy or USA. Actually there are many beautiful and quite in size actors in IT, while I would
be afraid that Nick could try to use their actors (as they did with voice over) and that would be a ruin...

Even if they would not finding actors that would match the look of cartoon characters and their personalities is extremely hard task.

Besides
to do a good movie with live actors at the level of LOTR or Avengers goes in hundreds of million dollars (LOTR- $281 millions, avatar- $310 millions, avengers $280 millions), that is not the amount rainbow or nick can get... Plus notice that both LOTR and Avengers are adapted screenplay and avatar doesn't really have a screen play, so new scrip is again rising up the prise...

Not to mention so far (both movies) were not original, so I would not expect anything thought-provoking, or fresh in the live actors film Sad

I have also a feeling that the transforms would be cut very much in form- I mean making actors swirl so much with all those over-ballet figures would be kind of a torture.

They would have to use Enchantix or Charmix(the new one not the old static and make me dizzy ones) as the transform, those two are the easiest to mimic. There's hardly any swirling but the actress if they used Enchantix would have to be shadowed for parts of it, unless they wanted to invent a new sequence or just use cgi and cut to the actress doing a cool pose and that somewhat silly fairy of thing.

I'd be afraid of computer compiled sequence Very Happy

I mean it obviously would need a lot of attention in post production but if they were to put it up together from different sequences, the poor girls would need to spend a lot of time in bikinis holding one pose then another and the going through them smoothly, so there would be enough of footage... that still would be cruel Very Happy

They could use the cut version, like in Once upon a time, but instead of adding shadow/smoke between to scenes/outfits they could use light- not very splendid, but would at least not turn hideous... I mean there were some nice character changes in the history of fantasy movies, but I don't think it was ever choreographic sequence...

If they used enchantix, good luck for Tecna's character. Two heads turning into one (CGI.. CGI everywhere...) would be hilarious to watch.
