A few weeks back I did a feature that listed some upcoming movies based on games. That particular feature initiated an interesting spat over who will play gaming characters on the big screen. Here are some select movies again and my choice of actors that I think will go well with the respective roles. Further, I have picked five huge titles that according to me will make really good movies. Do you have some favorites too? Well, then add to the list!
Metal Gear Solid
Many fans and critics alike prefer to categorize MGS as an interactive movie and not a game. 'MGS-the series' is my favorite gaming franchise and I love all the complex characters in the game. Although not much is known about the movie details, I personally would love it if they make a movie based on the very first Metal Gear Solid. Who do you think should play Snake, Ocelot, Meryl Silverburgh, Liquid and Sniper Wolf?
Before I reveal my dream cast, here's a little conversation from the game that clearly defines why people love MGS and Snake.
Solid Snake: "Metal Gear is in an underground maintenance base to the north."
Meryl Silverburgh: "Take me too. I know this place better than you do."
Solid Snake: "You'll just slow me down. You don't have enough battle experience."
Meryl Silverburgh: "I won't slow you down. I promise..."
Solid Snake: "And what if you do?"
Meryl Silverburgh: "Then you can shoot me."
Solid Snake: "I don't like to waste bullets."
Here are my suggestions for the cast. Like I said, add to the list!
Solid Snake- Hgh Jackman or Christian Bale
Liquid Snake- Paul Bettany
Ocelot- John Malkovich
Meryl- I couldn't place anyone here..
Sniper Wolf- Denise Richards

I do agree with you for Kratos. The first time i saw Kratos(in th game of course), i said " it would be great for a film with Goldberg as Kratos"

Vincent Cassel is to skinny for Illidan but his face is acceptable

i support ur suggestions on god of war casts. goldberg needs a little more squeeze/frown on his face to fit perfectly. His skin is too fresh.

I think the perfect actor to play kratos is Vin Diesel

Vin Diesel is a terrible actor. He might have the look but his character acting is awful.

el mejor actor para hacer el personaje de solid snake es Thomas Jane o tal vez karl urban. Ocelot podria serlo donald sutherland y si fuese actor, Stan lee le quedaria bien. Sniper wolf a Rebecca Romijn-Stamos le queda mucho mejor que Denise Richards

On the recommemdations for the God of War game-movie. I believe your suggestions are good ones and hope to actually see the movie with the actors and actresses the you suggested. I only hope they cast them for the movie. If they do actually start filming it I would like to know a release date for it.

I could go either way for Jackman, OR Bale. I hate to disagree, but Malkovich as Ocelot? **Tsk Tsk* Maybe the actor who played "Boris the bullet dodger" in the movie Snatch.

You did your homework well ;) An interesting article after a loooong time. I especially like David Wenham's resemblance to Warcraft's Arthas

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Charlie Clausen is not confirmed to play the Prince in Prince of Persia. Some overzealous fan put him up on IMDB.

Nice Article... but i doubt dat wud keep da same storyline as found in da game..... if dey do then it'll be quite predictable...n become boorin.... a few twists n turns.. with a good screenplay will only make da muv a big hit...

Don' t know how far this is true, but I read in some article(probably techtree itself) that Vin Diesel was slated to play the role of Kratos in GOW. Can he make a prefect kratos? What do you say guys?

I agree with ya. and Aishwarya Rai as Farah!! Hell no!!!
by fearme, heaven, on Apr 11, 2007 08:08 AM, Report abuse
The movie is going to be a big downer if Aishwarya plays the part.

Nobody can even come closer to kratos but if the movie goes into production I think there's no one other than goldberg in hollywood who can portray the character. But Goldberg will have to give his 'B' grade acting skills a major overhaul..;)
