8-bit actors

Sonic Death Monkey · 05-16-2004, 06:06 PM

After reading some guy post something about a live action 8BT movie I got to wondering, as I often do I'm a wonderer at heart. If ...no scratch that, when 8BT gets made into a big budget Hollywood movie, what actors do you think should play the parts?

Personally I feel Samuel L Jackson is a shoe in for Black Mage, I mean he had no problem stabbing people in Pulp Fiction.
:bmage: Yeah they deserved to die and I hope they burn in hell!

any ideas?

P.S I'm new, please be gentle

I wanted to see Jessica Simpson as White Mage, but I suppose we'd have to have a red head....

:wmage: Kirsten Dunst perhaps?

They'd have to work on the hair a little, but Keanu Reeves as Fighter? Possibly Patrick Warburton as Black Belt.

Christopher Walken as thief!

Red Mage would be a good part for Sean Connery.

reality_deviant · 05-16-2004, 09:22 PM

Sean Connery???

How do you figure?

Static Hamster · 05-16-2004, 09:27 PM

Or the guy who played Doc in the back to the Future Movies could be Red Mage.

Christopher....Christopher.....ah dammit.

[edit]

I'm not going to make a whole new post for this....but William Shatner as RM!! That made me LOL.

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that William Shatner would make a good RM. He's good at overly dramatic voices.

Black Mage; I would say Jason Mewes aka Jay. He is the only person playing some one who is as childish as black mage.

Fighter; we need some one pretty stupid and hmmm Yeah I am going to have to go with reality here Bill AKA Keanu Reeves. or Ashton Kutcher can play that roll but it won't come off as real...

Thief; The actor must be able to come off as Intellegent greedy and has or could play a lawyer but also in the comic theif has "Roguish good looks." Hmmm well I am no judge of looks in guys but how about Johnny Depp?

White Mage; Has to be able to hit stuff very hard with hammer be good looking and come off as a nice good person. Hmmm just dye Meg Ryans hair red, problem solved.

Red Mage; Well he must be able to go savant sometimes and yet seem really smart at the same time, and probably being the oldest member of the group. I will take Just Jons Choice for Thief and say Christopher Walken or possibly Kaiser Sosa himself Kevin Spacey. wait a second Sosa as Sosa...weird...

Black Belt;He has to be someone incredible with martial arts yet play a character so stupid he warps the space time continum. 4 words. Jean Claude Van Damme

Garland; must be the nicest sweetest man ever possible with evil intentions. There is only one actor capabe of doing this. The great Alan Rickmann!

Evil Princess Sarah: tactical genius, excellent at martial arts, fairly evil, kick ass and chews bubble gum, but she is all out of gum. Hmmm This one is tough I am going with Uma Thurman, Dye her hair too or give her a wig.

Ackbar: There is no actor I can think of that can pull this off.

Bike: Geoffry Rush hands down only one able to do bike.

Drizzl': This one is tough one of the smarter ones on here yet fooled by fighter...Umm Orlando Bloom played an elf so he can play a Drow.

King Steve: Baby Skin Shoes. No actor can fill those kind of shoes
