David Jaffe claims that the movie was in production or something like that. He said that he had Djimon Hounsiu ("Blood Diamond"wink in mind for Kratos & I think he's the perfect choice. I'm curious as to who will be cast in the roles of the Gods & I really want to see what the Titans will look like in CGI. If this movie makes it to theaters, it's going to kick a lot of ass.

Mairuzu
this could be a really awesome movie, if its going to he, i hope they dont fudge it up

Ultimate Hulk43
Same here, I want it to be exactly like the game with little to no changes. Overall, I want to see how Djimon will look as Kratos & I want to see how the Titans will look since they are huge & will be done using CGI (more than likely). If all this is pulled off, I'll be happy.

God of War was shit for reasons you didn't like, if you hold the belief that it was a factually shit video game, you are an idiot.

rosieda
clearly someone has issues.

But i would like to see this movie adaptation also. The game was great, even though i have not played the second one.

What didn't you like about the God of War games?

I thought the 1st was brilliant, and the 2nd, although somewhat repetitive of the former, was just as good.

Ultimate Hulk43
I don't want all this arguing in the thread & if you want to talk about the homeless take it somwhere else.

Now, let the movie discussion commence.

A) GAME, I played the first and realised from that moment that it wasn't a game I liked.

B) To answer your question; because I like challenging games that aren't a virtual remake of every other pointless, mediocre hack/slash/walk game out there. Before you or anyone points out how "innovative" it is and what a great "story" it has, no and no.

I prefer, you know, better games. God of War and everything like it is nothing more than a game, easy to beat, to make "gamers" feel like they've accomplished something. That's cool, it's just not for me, but it is what it is. People will accept any game that they can play without trouble, though, it seems.

What's good about having a trilogy when the first game is nothing but repetition, the second is hailed as equal despite the flaw being "It's repetitive of the first.", and the third just following the trend? Where is the innovation or thought of that? Even in Dead Rising, which contains a lot of time to mindlessly kill stuff in various fashions, you have a plot, a good one at that. Not original, but good.

The God of War games were, in fact, easy to beat. I still enjoy them, though.

Do you think that Djimon Hounsou would make for a good Kratos? That's who has been rumored to be a first pick, if a film is made.

Yeah, he kind of looks like Kratos, if he were black. I still want to know who David Jaffe has in mind for the Gods & I'm anxious to see how the Titans will look with CGI. If done right, this movie is going to be extraordinary & may show us things we've yet to see in the film industry. The CGI is definitely going to have to be top notch. Man, I can't wait for this movie to be released.

I beat the first game on God Mode at least three to four times which was hard & I only did it for the unlockables which really wasn't worth it. As you know, I've yet to beat the second game though. I already like it more than the first game though since there's more to fool around with in the second game.

The movie, IMO, would have to be similar to Sin City and 300, in the manner of live action against green screen. It would only seem fitting.

to name a few:


Super Mario Bros.
Bloodrayne
Mortal Kombat
House of the Dead


The Hitman movie, based on the video game, will be released in theaters soon. I guess we'll have to wait to see of it's either a hit or a flop. I, personally, can't decipher which it will be, since the only footage we have seen is the teaser.

I want the action to be a little gory but not too gory, just something that fits Kratos. I think Djimon will do great as Kratos but he should also bulk up a little more because Kratos is a really muscular guy,

I think that if David Jaffe has a lot of input on this movie, it will have a lot of potential to be a great film. Sometimes when creators have a lot of input on movie projects they have the potential to turn out to be great movies.

No director has been announced, yet. If, in fact, the movie will be made.

Hitman looks pretty bad to me.

I know that just the teaser is out, but the actor they have for the title role is terrible, in my opinion.

Ultimate Hulk43
Yeah, he looks nothing like the main character in Hitman.

Btw, if it were up to you, who would you cast as the Gods in a God of War movie?

I say, that if a God of War movie is to be made, Djimon Hounsou (sic) might make for a good Kratos.

Stop it and stick to your own topic.

Djimon seems to be an okay choice but I think that Vin Diesel would be a much better choice.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Ultimate Hulk43
I definitely think Djimon is the better choice but Vin Diesel did come to mind when I first saw Kratos.

DanZeke25
Dijimon? The dude from Blood Diamond?

No.

Ultimate Hulk43
Why not? Because he's black? roll eyes (sarcastic)

DanZeke25
Originally posted by Ultimate Hulk43

Well they would paint him white, but can he speak english without the accent? I don't know if he was acting in Blood Diamond or that's how he really talks.

Plus I think Kratos need to be as bad ass as possible, and Vin Diesel seems more bad ass.

Impediment
Djimon has the body mass. He also has the ability, since he is an accomplished actor. He, IMO, could easily pull off an accent, since he has a regualr American accent, anyway.

Vin Diesel could do it justice, IMO, but he has yet to impress me with his acting ability.

Ultimate Hulk43
Vin Diesel may look "badass" but his acting sucks major ass & from what I've seen Djimon is a much better choice for Kratos. I'm sure he could easily change his voice & making him look pale isn't anything hard to pull off, anything can be done in movies now adays.

I think his accent would work well for Kratos. The voice of Kratos almost sounds like that guy with an angry tone. I think diesel could pull it off too, Kratos resembles Riddicks character an awful lot

Ultimate Hulk43
I agree but now that Kratos is basically out of the way, I want to know who will be cast as the Gods because that'd be interesting. I think Jessica Biel kind of resembles Athena from the game but I don't know if she'd be able to act the part. She might be able to though.

ragesRemorse
I actually think biel is a decent actress, and is of course stunningly beautifull. I think she might be a bit young for athena though. Athena would need a mature presence about her. What about the woman who played the ice queen in narnia, and also gabriel in Constantine? She has a unique look to her, and is a good actress.

Ultimate Hulk43
Athena looks might young in GOWII but if Biel can act the part her age definitely wouldn't matter.

InnerRise
I actually don't think Djimon's body is as massive as Kratos's is. I think Vin's body is more beefier and more fitting as the body of Kratos.

Sidenote: You people do realize a Black Man did the voice for Kratos right?

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Ultimate Hulk43
Point taken, a place man voices Kratos & I think that Djimon could easily beef up & work out before the movie starts shooting. He might though.

Mirai Gohan
Who would you all cast as Zeus. Thus far, my first & only choice is Liam Neeson.

Nope, he can't. Btw, in case you didn't notice, Kratos is voiced by TC Carson who is black & even if Kratos isn't black, so what? I'm sure Hounsou could pull off the part as he's a better actor than Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel is a pussy.

Btw, RJ, a lot of people have bald heads. My dad does, so what's your point? Having a bald head doesn't qualify you.

Btw, RJ, a lot of people have bald heads. My dad does, so what's your point? Having a bald head doesn't qualify you. what difference does it make what color the voice over guy is? KRATOS IS WHITE. you telling me that if you look at Vin, then at Dimon, you think Dimon is a better Kratos? with his thick African accent? Kratos's voice is deep and raspy, JUST LIKE Vin's. sure, Dimon is a better actor, but how good of an actor does one have to be to play Kratos? It's gonna be all about appearance, and Vin far surpasses Dimon in that area.

tell me this....if and when they make a DMC movie, what color should the actor that plays Dante be? should they choose.....lets say....Tyrese, or Colin Farrell?

Mirai Gohan
Lol, I seriously doubt your intelligence at times. I don't give a shit about how much Vin looks like Kratos, he can't act worth a shit which is why he shouldn't be cast. FYI, people can change their voices, it's been done for years in films. It's going to come down to acting ability, not appearances, you are utterly & completely wrong about that. I'm glad Jaffe has Hounsou in mind for Kratos and NOT that pussy Vin Diesel.

Let me pose a question to you all;

Does race, as in where Kratos was born and what he would look like if he was born there, play a part in his character? Put personal preference aside for a second.

Could it be played by a while guy, an asian, an indian guy? Does Kratos' race and appearance play a part in his character?

If not, it can be anyone of any race playing him.

Just like any race could play James Bond.

My point is, as I illustrated to RJ; there's a difference between race being important to the CHARACTER and race being important to the VIEWER.

Blade, as RJ said, "should be black.". That is his opinion, but nothing in Blade's history is inherent to his race. His circumstances could easily have been a man of any race.

Thus my questioning what the deal is with Kratos.

If David Jaffe keeps Djimon Hounsou they could probably do something like the "Dark Odyssey" alternate costume in the GOWII game where he's black with gold tats.

Even in the game, Kratos's skin is UNNATURALLY WHITE. Why? He's been covered by the ashes of his dead family.

See where I'm going with it now?

A black man could still play this role and be covered in that UNNATURALLY WHITE color.

I believed a white women was a Blue Mutant.

I'll believe a black man is a UNNATURALLY WHITE God of War.

Could it be played by a while guy, an asian, an indian guy? Does Kratos' race and appearance play a part in his character?

If not, it can be anyone of any race playing him.

Just like any race could play James Bond.

-AC this one?

Why must you make everything an ordeal?

Yes, that/those.

EDIT: Apparantly, as I have just researched, he is a Spartan, so he's Greek. Therefore, he's not technically "white", as he would probably have what many people refer to as "olive" skin, with a slight darker tinge. He, in all probability, would not be black, though.

Kids who jerk off over Sony tech specs. Fine, and "fans of God of War.".

I did just say that considering his entire story it's likely he wouldn't be black, cos he's a Spartan Greek, but he wouldn't necessarily be white. He'd probably have extremely dark hair, naturally darkened skin etc.

People can only name actors they know, there could be an unknown that was born for this role.

-AC exactly, gamers who have played the game. they are expecting someone who looks just like kratos, who acts just like kratos, who sounds just like kratos. Thats Vin Diesel

Yeah, and it's not exactly The Matrix plotwise is it? So this movie is essentially gonna appeal to popcorn-eating, Saturday night movie-goer also, even if they haven't played the game, so skin TONE isn't exactly going to matter to these people, and it shouldn't matter THAT much to the fans if the movie is awesome.

It doesn't require Shakespearian acting.

I concur.
Exactly....VIN DIESEL.....Or maybe Hugh Jackman? He'd bring good acting into the mix.

Vin Diesel can barely act anything.

He has the look of a nutter, voice of Kermit.

Not big enough, listen to yourself.

That's why movie directors do not listen to people like you, because you do not realise what casting takes.

Vin Diesel is shit, Hugh Jackman looks nowhere near like him and yet you'd settle for him over Arnold Vosloo, who's more or less a spitting image.

Actors DO bulk up for roles, you know. Christian Bale from The Machinist to Batman Begins?

He's Greek, it's natural to assume he has Greek characteristics, bar the hair.

Vosloo just doesnt have the same demanding physical presence that Vin has on screen, muscular or not. watch the Riddick movies and tell me Vin doesnt come across as a tough guy/hero type.

Vin Diesel looks permanently constipated, has all the agility and movement of a rock and the voice of a helium-influenced boy.

Vosloo could conceivably bulk up enough, it's not impossible. I think you just have a thing for Vin Diesel.

Arnold Vosloo doesn't actually look nothing like Kratos, Vin Diesel certainly doesn't look like him.

And exactly, it's not based on accurate history, so if Hounsou represents Kratos well, he should play him.

and I just happen to think that Vin is a perfect action star. can Stallone act? can Ahnuld act? can Van Damme act? can Jackie Chan act? NO. but they all rock in action roles.

It did, but I'll make it more simple for you.

They are all action stars, but that doesn't mean an action star is entitled to any role in an action movie JUST because plot isn't a main factor.

You cited the fact that they're not all good actors, but so what? The Terminator didn't need good acting, neither did Chan's character of Detective Lee in Rush Hour, but Arnold couldn't have played it because it required certain physical ability that is beyond him, the same with Terminator, it required a physical appearance and ability that isn't believable in Chan.

My point being; Vin Diesel isn't necessarily a good choice for Kratos because he's bald and large. He is not agile, he is stiff as a board and he doesn't have a good voice.

-AC

Mirai Gohan
Thank you, Vin Diesel just sucks ass. Hounsou is clearly the better choice.

Alpha Centauri
I don't know if he is, I don't really care.

My point is more a universal one using the game as an example.

-AC I'm not saying a black man can't play the role.

Just so there's no confusion about what I'm about to say.

Vin actually does look something like Kratos and could pull it off. Afterall, astounding acting abilities aren't required as we've all agreed on that.

He's done other action movies, so his "body is as stiff as a board" really doesn't mean anything under these circumstances if it's even true.

Also, his voice is similar to Kratos's voice.

Have you ever even played the game, b/c many of your points just aren't...............they just aren't.........

The Rock (as much as I like him) would be a horrible choice for the role of Kratos. Gerald Butler would actually be a pretty good choice but he'd kind of look weird with a bald head.
