Yeah I'm going too keep playing on this fantasy. I would like there to be a Half-Life movie but only as long as it doesn't end up like other hollywood game based movies.
Fucking Uwe Boll.
Anyway, because of the suggestions some people threw at me in my last
post, i have decided to compile a list of actors for my fantasy Half Life movie.
So here we go.
Freeman:
Played by Hugh Laurie, of House fame.
The guys just a shoe-in.
Alyx:
Played by Shannyn Sossamon, from 'A Knights Tale'.
There faces are way to similar.
G-Man:
Originally i thought David Bowie would have done really well, but as
LEWIS BELL pointed out "NO YOU FOOLS!", Christopher Walken is they way to go.
But for those who aren't sure, heres BOWIE!!!
He would still do good XD.
Eli Vance:
Not only does Morgan Freeman look like Eli Vance, but he could play the part really well.
Barney Calhoun:
Yes it's Greg Grunburg of Heroes fame, this is a gamer site so im sure you all at least know of Heroes.
Dr. Breen:
The whole time i was playing Half-Life 2, i saw Dennis Hopper whenever Dr. Breen's visage appeared on a monitor.
Dr. Kleiner:
This one is a little hard, I like the similarity between Christopher Lloyd and Dr. Kleiner but as many people have pointed out, the acting style would not suit it. ( I just wanna see a Doc Brown-ish Dr. Kleiner, yay back to the future :p)
Who other Suggestions are Ben Kingsley:
OR, Bill Nighy:
I'm really not sure who would do better :p
And no Mossman doesn't get a look in, mainly because I don't like her character, but i haven't finished Episode 2 yet, so she may get better.
But thats all, let me know if you have any alternatives. XD
But David Bowie should still play the G-man.
dude, excellent post
+5 internets
they did that in I'm Not There, and that was like with SIX ACTORS!
I love D-Toid the community is freaking amazing!!
+10 <3
The only differences between my and your list would have been
Alba as Alyx and Clive Owen as Gordon. :)
I think Christopher Lloyd only suits it because he looks really similar, and I only based it on this. With the other characters i tried to match thier acting styles as well.
But Ben Kingsley would be a good choice, I was also thinking Bill Nighy maybe but I cant think much past them lol.
