Cast your Freespace actors
Name who you would cast in the "hypothetical Freespace movie"
*
Alpha one would be Bruce Willis for one-liners, as he would get the only kills i think this is a fair point.
Arnie would be the Collie cos its big and stroing and dumb......
Anthony Hopkins for Petrarch, Dunno why, but it gfits in my head.....
Bosch....... Hmmm, I think for a twist i would have Brian Blessed, his speeches would be a bit more cheery then i think.

Snipes, It would have to be the Hicks man himself, Michael Biehn.

Support would be Rowan Aitkinson.

Zods voice would be done by LEE EVANS.
Command would be the wisdom of Frank Spencer.


Feel free to add to this or change any........

-Andy Serkis as th' Hallfight Shivan.  There ye go with body language...  :lol:

-Willem "Green Goblin" Dafoe might pass fer Bosch.
 
-Samuel L.  Jackson fer Command head ani...  :P

-Samuli Torssonen as GTVA Colossus commandin' officer.  Dead on...  I can very clearly see wot scurvey dog yellin' "Systems are failin', Command, and a bucket o' chum!
 
-Chuck Norris fer Rear Admiral Koth.  "Your posturin' insults us both, Vasudan!  I will not give up me ship!"


EDIT: What was I thinking when I wrote that. :nervous: I meant of course the other immortal quote:"...This Monstrosity will be destroyed!"

-Lieutenant Snipes could be depicted by some less known actor...  but it has t' be someone who can shout "DIVE DIVE DIVE!" in a believable way...
 
Dr.  Mina Hargrove, by Famke Janssen.  Or someone else o' current actresses.., by Davy Jones's locker.  They all can act almost th' same IMO, I don't recall any specificaly shiningly good actresses o' today.
 


...an' if there's Derelict included, Johnny Depp fer Mackie.  Don't keelhaul me fer this 'ere one, he's a good actor an' would suit well fer th' role, me thinks.
 
Here's me ½ monetary units.

Well, A1 is supposed to be a newbe pilot, so Bruce Willis is a bit old for that.  Perhaps Jake Gyllenhaal.

As for Petrarch, I don't think Anthony Hopkins displays quite the military presence that is needed.  Robert Loggia is getting too old to reprise the role, so perhaps Gene Hackman.

As for Snipes, I submit Nathan Fillon, better known as Malcom Renolds from "Firefly".  He's got just the right ballance of authority and darkness to be able to play an undercover opperative.

I liked the suggestion of William Dafoe for Bocsh.

Re: Cast your Freespace actors
Alpha 1 - Steve Burton
Admiral Petrarch - Tchéky Karyo
Command - The Rock
Aken Bosch - Willem Dafoe
Snipes - Rick Gomez

The GTVA sure knows how to launch feint attacks. You have the Colossus with her engines shut off, her battle group (all three ships) who apparently had problems with their weapon reactors, and a motley crew of fighters. No wonder the Bastion's escorts got decimated.

No Snipes can possibly be better then the real Snipes. (And I don't mean Raa.)
Edward James Olmos for Petrarch, of course.
Nothing else changed.

Re: Cast your Freespace actors
Aken Bosch - Willem Dafoe

I second this.

If he weren't so old, I'd say Robert Loggia should remain Admiral Petrarch--that character's voice is just too distinct to be acted by anyone else then General Grey himself.

For any of the ship commanders, I'd nominate:
--Chris Cooper (Colonel Burwell in the Patriot, and the General addressing the troops in Jarhead)
--Dale Dye (if he wasn't so old; he did a terrific job in Platoon)
--Ed Harris (watch The Rock if you doubt his ability to play a military role)

James Earl Jones would be perfect for Command--he doesn't have to do much except maybe sit there and give orders.  Would work perfectly as an Admiral Greer for Freespace 2.

For any pilots:
--Michael Biehn (Aliens, Navy Seals, The Rock, Terminator)
--Adam Baldwin (though he may be too identifiable already)
--Jake Gyllenhaal (maybe, so long as he doesn't go the way of Freddie Prinze Jr. in the WC movie)
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Re: Cast your Freespace actors

I second this.


Originally that actor suggestion came from me, but what the hell, people seem to agree anyway.

Isn't anyone else interested to see Andy "Gollum" Serkis as a Shivan? Or Chuck Norris as Rear Admiral Koth?  :(

 :lol:

One that popped into my mind...

The Helmswoman for helm of the Iceni. You know, to engage subspace drive while Bosch regrets our efforts to stop him had failed... Just a cameo, but an important one. :drevil:

Ugh, don't remind me of that movie. I lost mucho respect for Chris Roberts after that disaster.

Hey, maybe we can cast Luke Skywalker and Biff.

That's not gonna happen anytime soon, the game making sense part, anyway.
