Destructoid: THE MOVIE!

Destructoid: THE MOVIE! photo

We've been silent about this for a few months now because Paramount has basically put a gag order on us (by us I mean myself, Niero and Ron -- the only people that knew about this project). And actually, we didn't want to say anything until filming started, but it being April Fool's and all, we figured people might not think it was real if we gave you a little nugget of info now. So, in our eyes: no harm, no foul. Now, we can't really get into a ton of details -- like plot and such. But, we can tell you who has already signed on for certain parts.

Keep in mind, we still haven't signed off on the final script, but most of the actors and director are already in place. And before you start thinking we're making just another stupid video game movie, pfft, come on, who do you think we are?

The (partial) cast:

Niero: Wilmer Valderrama
Robert Summa: Matthew Fox
Ron Workman: Johnny Knoxville
Colette Bennett: Winona Rider
Earnest "Nex" Cavalli: Macaulay Culkin
Nick Brutal: Keanu Reeves
Hushgush: Robert Downey, Jr.
Aaron Linde: John Goodman

Remember, this is just a partial cast list. We haven't fully stocked the pond, so to speak, and we can't really tell you who the director is quite yet. Just know that it's NOT Uwe Boll -- again, come on, who do you think we are? If all stays on track, then expect the film to hit next summer. And you best believe, we're gonna have the biggest party ever to celebrate.

Directed by Uwe Boll, perhaps?

I'm sure Linde loves hes being played by John "Shut the fuck up Donnie" Goodman.

Let Kokomo be an animated dwarf figure voiced by Gilbert Gottfried or Bobcat Goldthwait and you've got yourself a flick.

I know that Summa looks like Matt Fox and all, but let's be real here: R. Kelly is a better choice.

I almost believed this story, but then i saw that you listed Matthew Fox as playing Summa.

Everyone knows that Summa is Matthew Fox, but he can't tell us because then everyone would bother him about the Dharma Initiative.

Nice try Jack, nice try...

Destructoid's community can be played by a large cage full of monkeys (retarded monkeys if they're available).

They will all be starved for a number of weeks and then set loose during filming, following each of the editors and throwing feces during their important lines.

Robert Downey, Jr. could totally pull it off. Him or Kermit the Frog.

I just want to see the part where you all join to form a giant destructoid mech.

Who will be the villain? Jack Thompson too obvious?

Cresente could be the evil pirate and then Clown shoes could be his evil henchmen.

I can't help but feel that Summa is just using this post as an excuse to highlight the fact that he looks a hell of a lot like that dude from Lost.

Look man, we all know you are the best looking video game journalist of all time. Stop rubbing it in.
