Comics/Games You Want To Be Movies

[Brodie]

I always do this when I read comics, I wonder what it'd be like as a movie.

I have a few. So here's the idea: List the Comic/Game and then the actors/actresses you want as the main characters of said title.

Here's mine.

Devil May Cry

Dante: Collin Ferral. Dye the hair, grow it out a bit and you have an ultimate badass demon-guy.

Virgil: Ed Norton. Watch American history X. This guy can do anything.

Resident Evil 2 (Not to be mistaken with the upcoming Resident Evil: Apocalypse)

Leon S Kennedy: Tom Welling. He has the muscle for the role and the boyish-ness that Leon had.

Claire Redfield: Mena Suvari. Enough said.

William Birkin: Ed Norton, again, this guy can do anything, and I'd like to see him do a mad scientist role.

There are others, but I can't think this early.

Final Fantasy, but do it properly this time. It's obvious that an original plot for a FF movie doesn't work, (at least not that codswallop they were peddling) so base it on an existing game, (maybe change a few things around a bit for the sake of adaption). The best all-around choice would probably be FF7. Here's what you do, you either cast real actors this time instead of CG people, or you cast the following actors/actresses as the voices. Keep in mind that I don't follow many actresses, just actors--that's not a sexist thing, btw, just how it happens to be. Anyway:

Cloud: If you're doing CG characters, Brad Pitt's a good choice for the voice, I think. However if we're talking real people then you gotta go with someone younger, in which case, (and I know you're all gonna hate me for this, but it's just my opinion--which happens to differ from 95% of the world) Hayden Christensen might work. I think he could pull off the odd character that Cloud is. Orlando Bloom might work too.
Aeris: You're gonna see a lot of Star Wars influence in my choices, so get used to it. :P Natalie Portman for either voice or live-action.
Tifa: Jennifer Love Hewitt for both voice and live-action. She looks the part enough, and her voice is fine.
Barret: Mr. T, who else? That's obviously an influence in the character, and for both voice and live-action, he'd be perfect.
Cid: Okay, as for live-action this might be questionable, but for voice definitely, I'd have to go with Gary Busey. For live-action and voice, Harrison Ford, with a slight touch of his Han Solo, could work too.
Red XIII: Well, this guy would probably be CG even in a live-action movie, so all we need is the voice. Liam Neeson could work, I think, as the character is young for his species but older for us, and I've always thought Liam Neeson just has a way of sounding wise, which Red XIII is.
Cait Sith: Another CG-destined character. I think Rob Paulsen would work great for a voice-over here.
Vincent: Well, I was stuck on this one, but I just read another message board which had a thread for an ideal FF7 cast, (btw, the author of said thread had the same picks for Cloud, Aeris, Tifa, and Barret--weird, huh?) and it said Johnny Depp. That sounds good to me. Both live-action and voice.
Yuffie: Zhang Ziyi, of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame. She could pull off live-action no problem, but she doesn't speak English so I'm not sure who I'd have do a voice. Omg, I just checked that other board again, and the author picked her for Yuffie too!
Sephiroth: This one's tough, for voices you have a lot of options, but for live-action it's more difficult. I'd say the following voices would be good, depending on which angle you wanna take: Christopher Lee, Christopher Walken, or John Truitt. That last name many may not recognize--to those familiar with the Lunar RPGs, he's the voice of Ghaleon, (one of my favorite villains). As for live-action, not sure yet.

[Dr. Doom]

do you really, truely, in your heart, think that it would make any sense to make a movie of of FFVII?


Anywho......






I'd love to see some sort of Zelda, Metal Gear, and Mega Man (X or otherwise) movie as far as games...

Comics, Deadpool woulda made an awsome movie.

[The Stryker]

Kingdom Hearts and Metroid

Nuff said!

I recommend using either a all animation movie or the who framed roger rabbit method for a kingdom hearts movie to get donald,goofy and all the others into the mix

Metroid would make a good movie if they make a good suit that doesn't look TOO stupid

and maybe rebecca whatever i can't spell stamos as samus....they'll have to have more scenes of her without the full suit on

and Kingdom Hearts they can get the voice crew from the game to work on the voices and such, and orlando bloom wouldn't work as the cloud in KH so maybe they could just use the guy who did his voice in the game....there were alot of Teen-angst show people that were in KH and they could pull off the characters

like the guy from Angel as Squall....perfect if he had longer hair....his voice is already perfect for the character so yeah

*uses keyblade and opens the lock to the Technodrome world*

let it all fall to darkness!!!!! *dissappears in a stampede of Heartless*

[Dane E5R]

"A meaningless effort... One who knows nothing can understand nothing.."

[GK Punk]

Battle Angel Alita.

Except, James Cameron may actually be wroking on that as we speak ^__________^

So other than that, a GOOD new Superman flick.

[damnhooligan]

Definitely Metal Gear, with maybe a Cam Clarke cameo? *crosses fingers*

Frank Miller's Ronin was in the works with New Line a while ago, but I'm not sure what happened with it.

And I know Witchblade has been done (Low budget, shot in Australia, 2000), plus the resulting TV show on USA, but I would really like to see a full-scale silver-screen ass-kicking version.

holy crap she said all for me! i would love to see a witchblade movie( with the actual gaunlet, and not some stupid arm piece)
metal gear would kick ass to see in movie form!

but I think Denise Richards should play sara.(from witchblade)

Tetris: the movie

[Taloniss]

Max Payne would be a great movie.

[JameO]

Tetris: the movie

I'll go with Tetris as well. :lol: That would be a five star picture for sure!
I also would like to see a Zelda movie or maybe a Grand Theft Auto type Mafia movie. Or maybe a 3d super mario movie.

[Peanut]

I'd really like to see some type of Legend of Zelda movie. I know a Metroid movie is already in the works. Perhaps it'll be the first actually good videogame movie. I'm pretty much off of the FF movie thing. The first was terrible and even though all the fan-boys won't admit it...they know that the stories of the games just wouldn't cut it on the big screen. I could definatley see a FF movie working though. I'd also like to see a MGS movie. As much as I'm not a fan of anything beyond the first game I still think a movie would be great.

Metroids already been cancelled :(

[Peanut]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at? When did this happen? WHEN!?! YOU WILL TELL ME! This is what happens when you go away no vacation and get no time to check the internet. When did it get canned? And for what reason?

[Jephael]

They really should make a Zelda movie! I can see Leonardo DiCaprio playing Link, and maybe have Claire Danes as Zelda (I always thought they were cute together)

[GK Punk]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at? When did this happen? WHEN!?! YOU WILL TELL ME! This is what happens when you go away no vacation and get no time to check the internet. When did it get canned? And for what reason?

I'll go dig up the full info on it when I feel a little less sick, but basically They had bought the option to do a metroid film, then let the option run out before putting in work in on it.

The MDb should have all the info on it.

[damnhooligan]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at? When did this happen? WHEN!?! YOU WILL TELL ME! This is what happens when you go away no vacation and get no time to check the internet. When did it get canned? And for what reason?

It was canned simply because the film licensing rights expired. Any other details are kinda sketchy at this point.

[Dr. Doom]

Doom needs to be represented in all his glory on film! That old movie was crap!! Doom didn't even get to crush that INFERNAL RICHARDS!!!!

[cqb101]

The legend of Zelda. This movie would so kick ass.

Second choice would be pacman.

[Karpo_007]

Videogame movies, the less the better. I have yet to see a good Movie based on a video game, altough Mortal Kombat is pretty entertaining.

[Raven]

its nice to see theres anther witchblade fan here besides me :D

[Knuckles]

do you really, truely, in your heart, think that it would make any sense to make a movie of of FFVII?

Of course not, but this is a thread about which comic/game we'd want to see as a movie. Doesn't have to make sense. :wink:

[Tokka-B]

A megaman movie would be nice.

[Voltron]

What? No Russians?

[The Stryker]

"Theres Always a Door to the light"-Mickey Mouse in Kingdom Hearts

A GOOD street fighter movie would be nice if they found the right actors and cast the characters like they are in the game....Guile is NOT the main character DAMMIT!!!!

but with all the technological stuffz nowadays they can make the shadowlo base up right and the hadoken can be something other then a cheap flashlight and pyrotech

and plus maybe a Akuma cameo near the end....or sumthin im just the idea man! leave me alone!!!!

Also on TV show movies i wanna see noneother then.....you guessed it...FUTURAMA:The movie!!!! :evilgrin:

they could have a fake trailer in the beginning of the movie for like "All my circuits:the movie" and then pan out to show the crew in the theater and such

[Dr. Doom]

A Street Fighter live action movie would be retarded no matter what. I say stick with anime.

[Jephael]

I love Stryker's idea for a Futurama movie! It'd be funny if they did it in live action cause they could get Katey Sagal to play her character Leela, then they could just use CGI effects for her eye.

[Leo656]

A GOOD Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and/or Guy Gardner flick.

As for games, I'd like to see a Zelda flick.

[Voltron]

I think a Green Goblin movie would kick ass. I mean, the brief 13 issue series he had when he was a good guy. He was pretty sweet.

[Raven]

the made a cheap witchblade movie, now they need to make a darkness movie.

http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/resevil/op55.gif

[Brodie]

But who should play The Darkness?

[Raven]

good question, I have no idea.

[Reznorite420]

Part 2 of this thread, no doubt...

Game: Pffft, I've said it before...DOOM.

[Leo656]

I gotta ask though... what the heck would they do with a "Doom" movie? Run around and shoot each other? Aren't there already a ton of movies like that? I mean, I'm not being sarcastic or anything, just askin'....

[Jephael]

I think a Green Goblin movie would kick ass. I mean, the brief 13 issue series he had when he was a good guy. He was pretty sweet.

I wasn't sure what to think about that earlier, but I think it might make for an interesting Spider-Man sequal down the line.

[The Stryker]

Bad thing about TV show movies....they have to spend like 15 minutes of the beginning explaining the story and events from the show

and for those who don't know Futurama has a actually storyline a one-up on simpsons

im still waiting for Gilligan's Islands III: The Minnow's revenge

[Dr. Doom]

I must also reinstate my former protest that Dr. Doom needs to be represented bad assedly on the big screen.

[Karpo_007]

Green Goblin movie could be kind of cool actually, Harry became the Goblin in the comics...

[Raven]

or a joker movie, one thats takes a look into his life and why he went insane, that would be neat.

[Reznorite420]

I gotta ask though... what the heck would they do with a "Doom" movie? Run around and shoot each other? Aren't there already a ton of movies like that? I mean, I'm not being sarcastic or anything, just askin'....Why the heck was there a SMB movie? Tron? Mortal Kombat? The first 2, at least, were games of a rather simple nature themselves; the SMB movie, while it kinda sucked, didn't involve merely 2 Italian plumbers jumping around all over the place collecting coins, Starmen, Fireflowers, Super Leaves, et cetera, did it? Of course not. Mortal Kombat didn't just simply involve a bunch of martial arts fightes involved in a nonstop gore-fest of fighting, did it? Sure, the game itself had a story to it, but only in the form of bios of the players. The movie actually IMPLEMENTED that into the sequence of events (who could forget Goro and Kano's conversation at the dinner table? That partly drove the actual story).

You've never read any of the novels based on the DOOM game, have you? That doesn't say much, though, considering how the third and fourth books of the series went COMPLETELY off track of the game where they (yeah, there are 2 main characters in the mini-series, as well as a few supporting characters here and there when they get back to Earth) start fighting aliens that were in no way part of the game or its backstory. You'd have to read them to know what I mean, just be sure you don't spend anything in the process of obtaining the books ;) (yeah, the last 2 especially are THAT bad).

Still, the latest news says that the writer of SWAT is planning to write the script for the DOOM movie. No change on it's proposed rating (PG-13) however, which is quite a disappointment.

If it helps to prove the fact that there CAN be an actual story to the game without going to far away from it's original impression, keep this in mind: DOOM, just like any other "geek" item today, has umpteenmillion fanfics circulating around the 'net. Some are good, some are less than laudable. Hell, my version of the story within the game (I named the marine McKnight) was heralded as one of the greatest fanfics ever written until I was banned from Doomworld. I didn't write it all at once; I only have the prologue and first 6 chapters written so far. If you'd like to read my prologue, I'll post a link.

Nevertheless, I can see where you're coming from; something like DOOM is very hard if not impossible to make a movie of unless it was made by someone who not only knew the game like the back of his hand but was also a damn good scriptwriter. I for one sure as hell hope that some day there will be a video game-based movie made in my lifetime that won't be as brainless as the game itself. I know, it's a longshot, but who knows? There are masterpiece movies based off of masterpiece novels/plays, so why not make a movie of the exact same stature based off a video game?

EDIT: If this post is interpreted as a "pissed-off" response, rest assured it is nowhere near that level. I'm just as happy as can be right now ;)

[cqb101]

A duke nukem game would be just as cool as a DOOM game, IMO.

[Leo656]

Nah dude it's all good, you're right, I know almost nothing about Doom or anything related to or spawned from it. I played the game once or twice and that's about it. What little I do know just made me wonder what if any kind of plot there could be for it if it were adapted to movie form. Some games you can just see as movies (I'd say Zelda is a good example), others like Doom are harder to imagine is all. Not impossible, though.

All said, though, I'd still rather watch "The Chase". Mmm, Kristy Swanson....

[Leo656]

A duke nukem game would be just as cool as a DOOM game, IMO.

They were talking about a Duke Nukem game a couple years ago. They got as far as saying they wanted The Rock to play Duke and after that the whole thing kinda fell apart.

Let this be a lesson, Hollywood: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the Kiss of Death. Stay far, FAR away from this no-talent piece of crap, lest all your movies turn out like "The Scorpion King".

[Reznorite420]

A duke nukem game would be just as cool as a DOOM game, IMO.The thing I fear is this:

Duke Nukem was a bit cheesy IMO. I expect a movie of said game to just as horrible. Unless of course they turned Duke into a REAL character instead of the "DIE ALIEN SCUM! DIE! I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU ALL!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" brainless-brute-cliche-o-rama kind of guy that he was in the game.

And for the record: The DOOM marine was NOT like that at all...

[Karpo_007]

Hmm.. Duke Nukem movie could work actually... Since most of his oneliners are from Ash of evil dead, Bruce Campbell would be perfect for the role... Just a tought.

[Leo656]

Anyone but The Crock.

[Reznorite420]

Some games you can just see as movies (I'd say Zelda is a good example)It's been almost 20 years since the game came out...I'd say it's high time a movie of it was made. I've had dreams of a Legend of Zelda movie since, oh, 4th or 5th grade? Of course, I imagined it live-action, and now with advanced CGI anything's possible.

[Leo656]

WIth the depth of plot the Zelda games have always had, it's quite likely that a Zelda movie would be the best game-to-movie conversion ever.

Course, that's not saying much about a genre that counts Double Dragon as competition.

[Karpo_007]

I doubt Nintendo would even consider it after SMB. For some reason videogames just don't convert to movies very well.

[Reznorite420]

Anyone but The Crock.Back around '98 I read an article in a OPM (Official Playstation Magazine) article called "From Bytes to Box-Office". Only three of the listed games rumored to be in the works for a movie actually came to be (Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Wing Commander, in the order they were listed in the article). DOOM and Duke Nukem were back to back with each other. As for Duke, the rumored guy to play him was Dolph Lundgren. He's got some of the look, but I don't think he'd fit the character quite well. Forget the Rock, any wrestler in a movie is a bad idea. At the same time, however, I'd suggest you DON'T use the Scorpion King as the epitome of the quality of movies with the Rock in them either ;)

[Reznorite420]

I doubt Nintendo would even consider it after SMB. For some reason videogames just don't convert to movies very well.That's because 9 times out of 10 they're made by the opposite kind of film makers I mentioned: They know very little about the game and/or have horrible scriptwriting/production skills. Of course, nearly all video game movies are made just to attract fans and rake in the bucks from devoted ones; IOW, they're PURPOSELY made into crap. I don't like that at all. Someone needs to make a REAL movie with real dramatic elements of good quality as well as staying true as possible to the game.

[Leo656]

any wrestler in a movie is a bad idea

Sorry, but Rocky III was awesome. :P And let's not forget that while TMNT II wasn't a great flick, Nash's portrayal of Super-Shredder was indeed Oscar-worthy.

And yeah I heard the rumors about Dolph too but the last rumors I ever read about a Duke movie had the studio absolutely certain they wanted The Crock to play Duke, and a couple months later people stopped talking about it entirely.

Which is good, because we as a people need LESS of The Crock, not more.

[cqb101]

God no! I can't stand Dolph! Who ruined The Punisher! :x

[Leo656]

Whoever decided not to put a big white skull on his shirt, that's who.

[Karpo_007]

Dolph is great as Ivan Draco though :lol: If you can watch Rocky IV that is. I don't know why, but I have always liked all the Rocky movies except V. Most of my friends say they are all crap but that is something I will never agree on.

[Leo656]

Nobody who says "Rocky is crap" will ever win an argument with me. NEVER.

I love all the Rocky movies, even poor unloved Rocky V. It aint the best, but it's Rocky. You just can't hate on Rocky.

And I do indeed love Rocky IV with good ol' Ivan "I must break you" Drago. :D

III is still my favorite, though. It's got Hulk Hogan AND Mr. T, what else could anyone want? Did you know Hogan choreographed almost the entire match against Rocky himself? 's true.

[Reznorite420]

God no! I can't stand Dolph! Who ruined The Punisher! :xDon't get me started on my "The reason they didn't make totally comicy was to avoid cheesiness" rant again...

[Karpo_007]

Have to admit I didn't... :) For me Rocky I and III are pretty much tied in the first place. Mister T in his best role ever... and Definetly the best sound track.

[Leo656]

I liked Rocky IV's soundtrack too. Much as I love "Eye of the Tiger" (did you know Hogan used that song as his entrance theme for years? It's true... in Japan he used a redone version done by a Japanese cover band... in English), I love "No Easy Way Out" that much more.

I cry at Rocky movies. I'm such a sucker for "down and out loser makes good" stories, especially when they involve fighting. I mean, even though Rocky V kinda wasn't that great, I still get tingles when he stands up in the alley all bloodied up and yells "Hey Tommy! I didn't hear no bell! One more round..." Classic stuff.

Edit: I also forgot to add another "Did you know"... almost all of the Hogan/Rocky fight from Rocky III was shot in one take because Hogan was concerned for Stallone's well-being. They saved the powerslam shot for last, with good cause, since when Hogan hit the move Stallone started coughing up blood and spent the rest of the day in his trailer. :lol:

[Karpo_007]

No wonder the scene looks so good... Poor Sly :lol:

[Leo656]

Yeah, Sly was all "we really want it to look real" so Hogan was like "well then I'm basically gonna have to beat the crap out of you" and Sly's all "let's do it." :lol:

That was back when movies were cool. Nowadays even the stunt doubles have stunt doubles.

[Karpo_007]

So true. I still think the best action movies were made in the 80's. There was Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, Rocky series, Schwarzenegger movies, Aliens... You name it. Today we just get these wire action movies like Matrix. Of course there are exceptions, but I stilll think they just don't make as good movies anymore. Terminator 3 was a really nice Nostalgia trip to the good old days when Arnold was on the top.

[Leo656]

Couldn't agree more.

[Dr. Doom]

I was suprised to find out Stallone wrote Rocky.

[The Master]

As far as games go - two requests.

1. DOOM. Make it star multiple marines, at least at first. Maybe kill them all off. But then again, that's pretty predictable and makes the last guy seem like the lone hero. But anyway, this movie would kick ass. Problems on the surface of Phobos. They've lost contact. They send a team of marines to investigate. Turns out, the whole place is teeming with god knows what kind of creatures. Then they track them all the way to Deimos, and finally to Hell, kick the Spider Mastermind and Cyberdemon's ass, come home to Earth, only to find the whole place has been destroyed. End of movie. Ok, sure, I can't really think up anything good right now, but I'd see it just to see marines kicking demon ass.

2. Virtua Fighter. Or, at least a movie starring the Virtua Fighter characters. But don't name it Virtua Fighter, and don't make the fighting the whole purpose of the film. *cough*MortalKombat*cough* Some kind of actual storyline, Akira being the main character.

Anyawy, yeah, I'd pay to see those.

[Reznorite420]

Just thinking about it makes me want this game more and more when it comes out, regardless of the system I have at the time! Imagine, a re-make of the original game, this time the way the guys at id REALLY wanted to do it!

[XERO]

Ninja Gaiden. Nuff said.

I would also like a Zelda movie too. Maybe Haley Joel Olsment(A.I. kid) could be Young Link. :D

[Dr. Doom]

Or not.

[Reznorite420]

Or not.You want him to bow before you or something?

[The Master]

Imagine, a re-make of the original game, this time the way the guys at id REALLY wanted to do it!

From what I've seen, it will be little like the original DOOM. There won't be the fun of having to take out hoards of demons; only a few at a time, in small, dark, tight areas. Maybe new shots have been released recently, but I also see nothing of hell, and if they keep with the darker, scarier tone, it looks like there won't be any grand, epic battles against a screenload of demons in the uttermost reaches of hell. That's part of what made DOOM and DOOM 2 great.

This new game looks to be quite awesome, but a remake? Hardly. Maybe vaguely inspired by the original, but looks to me more like horror games such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill than a big time shooter in the vein of DOOM.

[Raven]

mabey deadpool, that would be a cool movie.

[Dr. Doom]

Or not.You want him to bow before you or something?

-=Pretends Rez isn't there=-


Hell yeah Deadpool would be a badass movie! Of course it'd havta be "Agent X" causa that whore Rob Liefeld. He'd probably get mad, too, cause they didn't give him a huge rack like he gave Cap!

[GK Punk]

Ninja Gaiden, I'd like to see. I hear there was a really awfull anime based on it :lol:

DEFINETLEY a dead pool movie! That was a good idea.
(Am I the only one who hates Liefield?)

From what I've seen, it will be little like the original DOOM. There won't be the fun of having to take out hoards of demons; only a few at a time, in small, dark, tight areas. Maybe new shots have been released recentlyThat was the whole idea. They wanted to get away from that brainless shooting rampage and make it more an interactive horror movie. Besides, the reason it will have fewer enemies is because they'll be harder to defeat. Keep in mind the kind of real-time programming that Carmack has implemented in this game engine. Not only will movement and environment be real-time in this game, but the monsters have REAL strength and speed, thus making them about a hundred times harder to kill individually.

BTW, if you're basing your conclusion solely on the bootlegged 2002 E3 video, you might like to know that it was only a demo of it's basic capabilities. This year's E3 had a video (not bootlegged) showing more of what you're talking about; more monsters to kill in an area and less darkness, plus a few new enemies.but I also see nothing of hellThat's because they haven't shown anything of it yet ;)and if they keep with the darker, scarier tone, it looks like there won't be any grand, epic battles against a screenload of demons in the uttermost reaches of hell.Again, the "battles against a screenload of demons" scenario is what the guys at id are trying to avoid like the plague for a couple of reasons:

1) As I said before, this game is what Carmack envisioned back in '93

2) As powerful as modern video cards and computers are, the number of enemies on the screen at once that you're mentioning would cause a lot of rundown time even on a GF4.This new game looks to be quite awesome, but a remake? Hardly. Maybe vaguely inspired by the original...Ok, "re-telling", is that better?

I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but the original game went through a crapload of changes before the final version. The original idea didn't even include Mars, it took place outside of our solar system on a world known as "Tei Tenga". There was also the idea for having multiple characters to choose from, not just the sole Marine that you play in what we have today. Don't believe me? Go here (http://5years.doomworld.com/doombible/) to download what's called the "DOOM Bible", which is basically the original document proposing the original idea, and here (http://toastytech.com/dooma/) to check out information and downloads of the alpha and beta versions of the game, which have visual evidence of the "Tei Tenga" place I'm talking about.

Also understand that the reason it became the all-out-gore-fest that it is today was of technogical ones; in the end id decided that it was easier to make that sort of game than what they had originally intended. There're numerous articles that have been written in the past year in which Carmack is basically saying you the same things I am right now in terms of the "change" in the game's style of play. Heck, if I can find it, I'll show you the way to an audio interview during the 2002 E3 on the subject (also with Trent Reznor before he bailed out of the responsibility of making the SFX).
