Title: If War in Heaven was Live action...
Post by: Maverick on August 10, 2010, 09:48:46 pm
Who would you like to see play each character? Or better yet, ANY Blue Planet Character! lets not limit this to just WiH

Lorna Simms: Kate Beckensale
Noemi Laporte: i'll think more about it
Admiral Steele: Either Malcolm McDowell, Mark Hamill, or.... wait for it.... Kiefer Sutherland!!!

I'm seriously considering hiring Glynnis Talken Campbell to do either Laporte or Simms.

Admiral Steele should be Samuel L. Jackson. Or Mr. T.

Also Keyanu Reeves (However you spell that) or Lawrence Fishburne for Admiral Steele.

Keanu Reeves would be like 'whoa.'

Then he would be vacant!

James Harper (AKA Arcturus Mengsk of Starcraft) also can be for Admiral Steele. Or maybe Tim Curry.

That's a fantastic idea. I wonder what his rates are.

I'd like the guy who voiced Petrarch to be one of the UEF admirals.  I don't know his name, but I've seen him as a general in some movie.  Recognized the voice instantly.  Or the guy who does General Hammond from Stargate.

Petrarch is Robert Loggia.

Or the guy who does General Hammond from Stargate.
He's dead, Jim.

So after reading Steele's profile, i noticed he's a relatively young admiral (granted, most of the admirals are somewhat young in WiH, but Steele is the only one thats in his 40's) So thinking about actors that can fill that role, thinking maybe Tom Cruise would play the role of Steele very well.

For Admiral Calder, i just thought of it... Patrick Stewart!

Tom Cruise is not black enough.

Peter Mensah as Steele maybe.

Seems to do convincing characters who are relentless, driven and which have a sense of authority to them.

Lol, true enough... god if Steele was in his 70's though, imagine having Morgan Freeman as Steele then
Title: Re: If War in Heaven was Live action...
Post by: Klaustrophobia on August 11, 2010, 01:48:24 pm
Morgan Freeman is too calm for Steele.  He could be one of the elders though.

Tom Cruise, bleh.  No thanks.

Samuel L. Jackson.  Accept no substitutes.

I tell you who would make a great Sam Bei actually.

David fecking Tennant.

Russell Crowe as Taylor / Corey (as appropriate) :nervous:
Title: Re: If War in Heaven was Live action...
Post by: Angelus on August 11, 2010, 02:45:24 pm
Beckinsale and Portman or Beckinsale and Jolie would make a nice pair.  :nod: ;7

The Admiral, oh well, either Crowe or Jeffrey Wright. Jackson would be cool too.
Samuel Bei: No clue
Taylor and Corey: Ryan Reynolds and Cybil Bennet

Actually, considering the ages involved, Laporte and Simms should be played by Karen Gillan and Ellen Page, respectively.

Who'd play the Elder?

Dame Helen Mirren.

If they are as good at acting, as they are at voice acting, then I'd suggest the main cast of the AoA DC :yes:

Noomi Rapace from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for Noemi Laporte. Seriously...

Morgan Freeman.

Will Smith for Admiral Steele :-)


Leonardo DiCaprio for Bei's Dad; or at least one of the Duke's crew. He plays those funky "I'm Insane and I KNOW IT" roles really well.

Samuel L is far too un-subtle for Steele.  Too bad the team has described him as a black fellow - Connery (current age) would be perfect for the mentality and grittiness, if not the accent :P

As for Noemi... Summer Glau, hands-down.  Simms is tougher... I haven't quite figured out who could pull her off.
Title: Re: If War in Heaven was Live action...
Post by: Scotty on August 11, 2010, 11:14:36 pm
Samuel L. is as stable as the scene demands.  :cool:

I'd agree with that, but then you could say the same about all actors I can currently mention. When was the last time you saw a subtle evil mastermind performance you really bought? :P
Title: Re: If War in Heaven was Live action...
Post by: redsniper on August 12, 2010, 12:23:11 am
Samuel L for all roles.

1.  Samuel L is tired of these mother****ing Buntus in mother****ing Sol.

2.  I mentioned Claudia Black (the voice actress who voiced Morrigan for DA:O I believe) a bit earlier for Simms.

BATMAN XANATOS!

So.... would his gambits be called Batman Gambits (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BatmanGambit) or Xanatos Gambits (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit)?  :nervous:
