Dreamcasting for a Video Game Movie

I don't really see Jovovich in Metroid, but after Fury Road I can so see Theron as Samus.

Waited your saying both of these are better then Scarlett Johansson

Jovovich, The Fifth Element

Milla Jovovich is a great actress, who has ended up in a lot of shit films you'd never want to watch. The Fifth Element is of course a mighty exception.

But I think, actually going back to a Mad Men theme, actually January Jones looks the most like Samus, and has been in loads of varied roles, so might be the person I'd pick if I was casting.





Also you know Samus has red hair in the NES original - Just sayin is all

As I said for me they are just better at acting than Johansson (let's not be blinded by her looks eh?), also since Samus would likely not say very much you need a top actor who can pull off the strong silent type & I have my doubts that Scarlett Johansson could do that.

I was about to mention Fifth Element as well but that's definitely a more of a cult classic type of film.

Go watch Under the Skin, Johansson barely talks at all in it

I could see why you think Theron is better though but Jovovich as much as I like her and I've seen almost every film shes been in, I wouldn't put on any sort of actual acting list.

On games to film what about Miss Lawrence for Lara Croft.

For all the flak she gets, I thought Angelina Jolie did an alright job as Lara Croft. If we were talking about post reboot Croft, then obviously that'd need a recast.

Yeah they want to reboot the movie like they did the game, that I was thinking of someone kinda like the current Croft.

What about Lauren Cohan, a.k.a. Maggie from The Walking Dead?

That is a good shout

Surely?

Get on the phone to Warner or who ever Drunka.

Well it seems Chobot is Samus

I've been playing Bayonetta 2 recently so here go's the casting for that. (Trying not to get into repeat territory as well)

Bayonetta - Jessica Alba

Spoiler:

Rodin - Djimon Hounsou

Spoiler:

Enzo - Joe Pesci

Spoiler:

Pesci is a brilliant call! Not sure about Alba for Bayonetta though. What roles has she done that suit her to Bayo?

I just instantly thought of her (early) work in Dark Angel, though to be honest filling that role is a difficult one.

Seems we may have a new Lara Croft in

I think Daisy could do a smashing Lara.

Did anyone have Alicia Vikander for Lara Croft? If so, send your coupons to the usual address.

Nope- I had to look her up! I've seen Ex Machina, and I need to see The Danish Girl. I'll reserve judgement for now.

Nathan Drake

Whilst Nathan Fillion would be the correct choice, I'm withholding judgement until we see him in action. Remember how people reacted to Heath Ledger being cast as The Joker?

I'm guessing he's not playing the character at the same age he is in the games- he's playing a High School-aged Spider-man, after all.

They're doing Young Drake from Uncharted 3.

Ben Affleck might be Sully or the person people want to be sully.
