Actors for 8-bit characters

SatnicPuppy · 12-12-2006, 02:30 AM

I did a quick search and I din't come across this thead before, so sorry if this is a long dead subject. What do you guys think? If they were going to make an 8bit movie who would play all the characters? Living or dead, anybody.

Hey, I think this kinda-sorta got talked about before (it was more like "Who would voice the 8-Bit characters?"), but it was in a comic discussion thread from months back.

Anyway, Black Mage needs the voice of a dyed-in-the-wool weaselly bastard. But I personally can't quite imagine, say, Rowan Atkinson filling the role either, and he's the best weaselly bastard I know of. Just not homicidal enough, I think =P . ~~I dunno who'd be good for this one~~ Wait, what about someone like David Cross?

I tend to imagine Fighter in very "adult child" tones--so I'd cast Will Ferrell, on account of he does that pretty well. Barring that, Michael Palin dould do this.

Robert Llewellyn would be a very good Red Mage. Not that very many people here know who I'm talking about, but I still think so.

Thief...is hard to cast. You need someone whose every word oozes condescenscion and confidence rooted in his basic assumption of his superiority to absolutely everyone else he meets. I'm not at all sure who would work in that role, then.

And I doubt I'm the only one who does this, but whenever I read King Steve, I hear in my mind's ear Adam West, a la his turn in Family Guy.

Bruce Campbell gets my vote for Theif, I can't explain why.
White Mage should be Jenna Jameson.
Seconded on Will Ferrell for Fighter.
Red Mage should be played by the chick who played Peter Pan in that old musical.
Christopher Walken or Jack Nicholson get my vote for BM.
Chris Farley for BB.
EPS should be the girl who plays the GF of Jack Black's roommate in School of Rock.
Add Jack Black as Brian.

How does a dead guy get a role in your movie?

Ryan Reynolds, perhaps? Nobody oozes self-satisfaction better.
