Casting Call: Random Videogame Movies

[Uriel]

I spend a good deal of time thinking up hypothetical movies for some of my favorite games and who would play the characters. I figured a thread where we present and discuss these choices would be interesting. The game doesn't have to translate well into a movie necessarily.


I'll start it off with my picks for a Half-Life 2 movie:


Edward Norton as Dr. Gordon Freeman ( I thought I was clever but apparently someone else already thought of this, and I found the below comparison shot)


Ron Livingston as Barry Calhoun


Rosario Dawson or Kandyce McClure as Alyx Vance


Robert Guillaume as Dr. Eli Vance (NATURALLY)


Michelle Forbes as Dr. Judith Mossman (she did the voice in the game as well)


Willam Defoe as the G-Man


Sydney Pollack as Dr. Wallace Breen (its a talky part and I think Pollack's best for that reason)


????? as Doctor Kleiner (I was trying to think of a good character actor but I couldn't)

Didn't Pollack just die recently?

YOUR THESIS IS RUINED.

Replace him with Jonathan Frakes with white hair/beard immediately!

[Uriel]

That works....pretty damn well.

Fucking John Malkovich, dude.

[Uriel]

Hmm, seems to lack the necessary innocence, but I guess if he has a broader range than what he usually shows, it could work.

I like the idea of John Malkovich but I'd rather see Matt Frewer.

He looks like he just stepped out of a zombie movie. Fits though.
