Video game movies - who do you pick...

Which actor/actress is best for each role?

Hitman - No.47?


I'd say Christian Bale, he looks right (should he shave his head) and is a great actor to boot.

Halflife - Gordon Freeman and the G-Man

Edward Norton for Gordon and I'd have to say Christopher Walken for the G-Man.

Monkey Island - Guybrush Threepwood and Governor Elaine Marley

This is tough and I don't have a clue myself.


Other movies/actor suggestions/comments?

Jim Carrey for Guybrush? Can't think of any comedic actors that can do action that look the part.

Quake - Bruce Willis. I'd like to see him blast a few Hell Knights with his rocket launcher or sizzle a Shambler with the Thunderbolt... :D

Deus Ex - Jude Law for JC Denton. Put the fucker in dark glasses and a long jacket, and he's an instant badass.

All I know is that LeChuck absolutely must be played by Bruce Campbell.

And Jim Carrey's way too old to be Guybrush.

You know, I've been wondering who would play who in a Legend of Zelda movie. I can't seem to pin donw one person for any of the characters. Although Ben Affleck would probly ruin the part of LInk.

How'd we guess? You suggest a Quake movie? :roll:

Ohhh, ohh!, I know! "Enter The Matrix" - Keanu Reeves for Neo, and...*aide whispers into ear* You mean it's been done already? *aide whispers again* You mean the movie came first, then the game? *aide nods* Sonuva...the things you miss when you're TGODing...

Fine. A young Jim Carrey.

I think a younger John Cusack would be wicked for Guybrush.

I don't think that there are alot of parts Ben Affleck wouldn't ruin. Personally my Ben Affleck favorites are from Dazed and Confused and Phantoms because "Affleck was the BOMB in Phantoms!". :wink:

Man, I'd fucking hate Jude Law in that role. I can't stand him in most of the things he does anyway. This is one where Ben Affleck might *just* fit in.

IMO, there is no way Monkey Island could be live-action. I think a Dreamworks series (quintoligy?) of movies would be great.

Hell yeah, I can see Monkey Island getting the "Road to El Dorado" treatment - just hold the singing.

In which case, just use the voice actor from the video game to do Guybrush. I would want a different VA for Eleane though, and probably for LeChuck as well.
