For Movie Geeks ONLY

[Ryndel]

If you were making a movie of BG2, who would you want to cast for a few roles? Of course, leave out the protagonist (for obvious reasons, i.e. each one would be different!), so who would you cast for Imoen, Minsc, Jaheira, etc...?
Note: NOW you know why I said FOR MOVIE GEEKS ONLY!

That's a pretty good question....

Hmmmm

Edwin-I'd get Russel Crowe to play an EVIL role!

Viciona- Catherine Zeta Jones - she did alright in MI2!
MinscRay Winston - He played hardmen in films such as Scum!
Korgan- John Rhys-Davies (Gimli - LOTR)

It's too hard, and my choices sucked! I give up!

[Ryndel]

That actually sounds pretty good to me (especially Russel Crowe in an evil role. That would definitely be a refreshing change, and I think he'd do a decent Edwin [img]smile.gif[/img] ) I also liked the Catherine Zeta Jones as Viconia! Never thought of that...I like it! Casting for a movie like this would be extremely tough because of the game portraits; the actors/actresses that would be playing the parts would have to look at least partially like the portrait, which would be nearly impossible. But if you could make it a computer - animated film like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, you could possibly take the voice actors from the Baldur's Gate series and cast them as their characters, and as a bonus you could make the characters look exactly like the portraits in the game! Kind of an interesting thought...

I thought Micheal Clark Duncan for Minsc, but he's black (John Coffee - Green Mile and Planet of The Apes)

I think George Bush would make a fine Minsc
He has about the same IQ and probably talks to animals

This is a very interesting topic - ESPECIALLY since at least SOME of the BGII portraits bear a strong resemblance to movie stars already.

So, with that in mind, here are some of my choices...(I couldn't remember some of the names, so I've listed their movie characters instead)

Edwin - Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Robin Hood)
Nalia - Drew Barrymore
Keldorn - Sean Connery
Minsc - Arnold Swarzenegger(sp?)
Cernd - The Indian actor that starred with Arnold in Predator (can't remember his name)
Korgan - John Rhys-Davies (you're right,Lavindathar.
Anomen - Charlie Sheen.
Viconia - Halle Barry.
Valygar - Wesley Snipes.
Jaheira - Catherine Zeta-Jones
Haer'Dalis - Legolas from LOTR (Brain Cramp-can't remember his name right now).
Imoen - Jean Grey from X-men (sorry, another Brain Cramp).
Jan - Danny DeVito
Mazzy - Tina Turner (I know...she's too tall, but it's the best I can do).

I couldn't come up with any good suggestions for Aerie or Yoshimo.

Imoen - Jean Grey from X-men (sorry, another Brain Cramp).

Famke Jansen. She also starred in Goldeneye as Xenia Onatopp.

[Mellagar]

Well I have a few ideas that just might fit the bill.

Minsc- Richard Moll (the tall bald guy from nightcourt tv show)

Keldorn- I agree with Sean Connery

Imoen- Mila Jovavich (from The Messenger)

Viconia- I agree with Catherine Zeta Jones

Anomen- Billy Zane (he's got a pretty boy look, heh)

Edwin- Gary Oldman (he's got class)

Valygar- Laurence Fishburne would make a better Valygar than Wesley Snipes, IMPO, but this is a "who knows" for me

Mazzy- Tina Turner??? What are you smoking my good man?

I'm taking a break, heh

Mayb even Lawerence Fishburne 4 this one?? Cernd - [s]The Indian actor that starred with Arnold in Predator[/s] Now I reckon that Johnny Deep (Think The Ninth Gate) would do a good job at that. Korgan - John Rhys-Davies (you're right,Lavindathar) Yep agree as well.. Anomen - Charlie Sheen. LOL!!! Yeah I reckon thats actually a good idea Viconia - [s]Halle Barry.[/s] No I reckon Catherine Zeta-Jones would b better. Valygar - Wesley Snipes. Yep. Jaheira - [s]Catherine Zeta-Jones [/s] hmm... I was thinkin along the lines of the gal from Gladiator... I reckon tan her face more and do here hair right and she'd b just right [img]smile.gif[/img] Haer'Dalis - [s]Legolas from LOTR[/s] I reckon me [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] . nah but I dont reckon he would b good 4 Haer'Dalis... no suggestions sry. Imoen - Jean Grey from X-men yes... cut her hair and dye it a bit, give her a fake scar and that would b right. Jan - Danny DeVito Lol.... I think thats another good idea [img]smile.gif[/img] Mazzy - Tina Turner I like this one... good idea... they can do the whole height trick no probs neway [img]smile.gif[/img] Aerie - The Teen gal from Poison... the one that kills all the men.. she'd b heaps good at that part. Yoshimo- Jackie Chan .... Hes got it outright in my mind [img]smile.gif[/img]
