God of War

Quote:

Variety is reporting that Universal Pictures has picked up the rights to make a movie based on the God of War video game. The movie will presumably follow Greek muscleman Kratos' attempt to take down Ares, the God of War, as he ravages Greece. Charles Roven (Batman Begins, Bulletproof Monk, City of Angels) and Alex Gartner (The Upside of Anger, Barbershop 2) are set to produce the film. Curretnly no writer or director has been named for God of War. Thankfully, Uwe Boll appears to have his plate full butch...I mean directing movie adaptations of Far Cry, Fear Effect, BloodRayne, Hunter: The Reckoning, and Dungeon Siege.

I wonder who would make a good Kratos?

Vin Diesel or the Rock.

I guess the Governator is getting a little old...

Vin Diesel is a better actor (from what little we've seen of The Rock thus far) and looks the part. He'd fit the role. I hope they treat this game with more respect than Uwe Boll does with his movies based off of publisher intellectual property because with a good visual effects team, a decent director and a lead like Diesel it could end up being a blockbuster.

Some suggestions:

Either of these guys (Jason Statham on left, The Transporter)

Darkman replacement/Imhotep himself Arnold Vosloo (Probably the best choice).


Or the guy on the right here:

(Brian Thompson)

They'll never let Arnold Vosloo front a movie like this.

Hmmm...alright. What about Billy Zane?

Jason Statham would be my first choice (if he could pull off a greak accent) followed by Diesel and the Rock as a last resort. Brian Thompson would be awesome but I doubt he'd get cast as a lead in a big budget flick.

This is where Vosloo would be great. He's played a variety of characters from different ethnicities. All he needs to do is bulk up quite a bit and get an attitude.

(Joking about the Billy Zane - he came up in my search for Bald Actors)

Haha, Brian Thompson in that pic.

He would fucking nail the role. Just imagine him bald like he was in MK:A as Shao Kahn, give him a goatee and facepaint.
