One of the things I always find myself doing is come up with ideas for actors I would have play in video game movie adaptations.
In the past, games usually looked to movies for inspiration (Metal Gear, Mortal Kombat). Times are changing now, with movies turning to video games for new inspiration.
The question I ask you all today is rather simple. Who would you cast in a movie adaptation of your favorite game? It doesn't have to even be your favorite game, it could be your least favorite game (sounds like another thread I started )
And don't be afraid to recast a game thats already been turned into a movie. God knows some of those films needed a better casting director.
And it doesn't have to stop at actors. Have an idea for a director for the film? Wouldn't it be cool if John Carpenter directed the Metal Gear movie? Oh wait, he did already. I think it was called Escape From Seattle or something.
I'll have a go at it.
Max Payne:
Actor - Bruce Willis - I know I know, he was the inspiration for the character. That is why I cannot see anyone else in the role. It's so custom made.
Director - Quentin Tarantino - Most likely another inspiration for the game. I would love to see him direct this one.
Ok fellas, after writing all this I'm actually getting a vibe that it's been done before. But then again, what hasn't here at the roundtable? I hope it hasn't, but if it has, lets all have fun with it anyway. For ShinobiMan's sanity. Thank you.
