Comics/Games You Want To Be Movies

*Brodie* · 08-26-2003, 11:12 PM

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.

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* · 08-27-2003, 12:17 AM

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* · 08-27-2003, 12:48 AM

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*

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* · 08-27-2003, 03:30 AM

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.

Tetris: the movie

*Taloniss* · 08-27-2003, 08:14 AM

Max Payne would be a great movie.

I'll go with Tetris as well.

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 · 08-27-2003, 08:27 AM

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 · 08-27-2003, 08:41 AM

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* · 08-27-2003, 08:48 AM

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)

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.

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

*Dr. Doom* · 08-27-2003, 09:10 AM

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* · 08-27-2003, 10:41 AM

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

Second choice would be pacman.
