Entertainment Weekly, in an interview with David Jaffe, is reporting that the script for the God of War movie is complete.
Says Jaffe:
There's a really good script written by David Self, who wrote Thirteen Days for Kevin Costner. I keep expecting them to call me and say it's dead, but my fingers are crossed. We'll be sending the script out to a huge-name director.
A huge-name director? Very **cough** Peter Jackson **cough** interesting.
The God of War creator also goes on to say that Djimon Hounsou would be his dream actor to play Kratos.
Djimon Hounsou as Kratos. Absolutely. You have to get past the fact that Kratos is Greek, but in terms of the way he looks and his acting ability and his physique — I can't think of a better choice.
Whether the entire project comes together or not, the God of War movie could be pretty great. Kind of like a Clash of the Titans for a new generation.
What do you think? Would you be excited to see God of War on the silver screen? Besides Hounsou, who do you think would be the perfect actor to play Kratos (please no one say Vin Diesel)?

As far as people who could play Kratos...wow...uhh...I honestly don't know. There just doesn't seem to be anyone with the physique I can think of and also is bald. I honestly don't know.
What about Sam?
Regardless I can't wait for this game
...wait, is he still alive?
Peter Mensah, I believe...
dont know about his acting since i dont watch it...but i think he looks like kratos
the guy on the left
I think we're all overlooking the blatantly obvious choice for this role:
Couldn't resist.
Then again, I just ate some purple mushrooms.
Cool kids use BBCode.
And GOD no, not Vin Diesel.
2nd who can wear white very well (kinda hard for Djimon)
the obvious choice is Howard Dean...YEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Seriously the guy who play leonidas in 300 (shaved) is pretty much an obvious choice.
I don't know if anyone has said anything but perhaps Gerald Butler might be a good try? Yes I know he already played a Spartan and the roles are familiar but he is pretty ripped and his voice when yelling is close (even though Kratos sounds like he is black...). Anyone else agree?
If they can make a naked chick have scales and blue skin, they can make a black man look pale white.
Honestly, I can't think of a single person who could pull it off. They would really have to search and put a lot of thought into the choice.
Then again, if Hugh Jackman didn't look stupid bald, he might be able to do it...
Imagine the story being slightly altered, like Kratos being the son of moors in Greece or something...
