to answer your question, let me ask a question back at you. what is the target audience gonna be for this movie?

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.

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

and good point, there could be an unknown who would be better.

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.

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?

Have you ever seen a picture of Kratos?

Kratos has no hair nor does he have "naturally darkened skin."

Have you actually seen my post? In the context I was referring to the region from which he hails, and certain characteristics of those who are born there.

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.

Doesn't matter. They're going to get a got who represents Kratos, not someone who has Greek Characteristics and looks nothing like Kratos.

It's a character based on a videogame, not on accurate history.

You came back cos I didn't care that you left.

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.

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.

You shouldn't see Vin Diesel playing someone like Kratos.
