If BG2 was a movie...(I know we had it before)

debiler · 03-31-2004, 06:42 PM

I don't know, but from time to time, I like discussing about which actor/actress would best suit a certain role in a movie about BG2. Its hypothetical, of course. So don't think about stuff like budget or something...

Here are my suggestions:

Minsc - Michael Clarke Duncan
Jaheira - Julianne Moore
Imoen - Juliette Lewis or Alyson Hannigan
Yoshimo - don't know any Kung-Fu guys, so I'll just say: Jet Li

Anomen - Johnny Depp (he'd do a great overacting job, I'm sure) or Casper van Dien
Nalia - Drew Barrymore
Korgan - Robin Williams (I'd especially like that)
Jan - Joe Pesci
Aerie - Calista Flockheart, Sarah Jessica Parker
Viconia - Natasha Henstridge
Valygar - Wesley Snipes (but he'd be wasted with no talking to do)
Keldorn - Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson because Sean Connery is getting a bit too old...
Edwin - Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh or Alan Rickman
Mazzy - Franka Potente
Cernd - Karl Urban (looks wild and shapechanger-ish)
Haer'Dalis - Val Kilmer

others:
Irenicus - John Malkovich
Bodhi - Angelina Jolie
Aran Linvail - Harrison Ford
Saemon Havarian - Will Smith or Benicio del Toro
Valen - Uma Thurman
Drizzt - Ray Park

Please post your opinions and new ideas. Oh, how I love to imagine that movie...

Um, definately not Johnny Depp for Anomen. Depp doesn't deserve such a horrible role.

Sean Connery is incredible! He'd definately fit Keldorn.

Hm, no Will Smith for Saemon (Depp would do well here, as you can see from his role in Pirates). Valen has to be someone small and cute. No way is Robin Williams fit for Korgan, he has to be someone short, stocky, and with a twisted face (no Danny). That's it, so far, I'm too lazy to read the rest ^^;;

Anjelina Jolie is too hot to play the role of Bodhi

I'm all for Sean Connery playing Keldorn, and Danny deVito playing Jan, though what's-his-face could also play it. You know, the guy who played Dennis in Jurassic Park and Newman on Seinfeld. Edwina could be played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Those are good ideas. If I heard about casting calls, I'd be first on line for auditions... So many fun roles.
Ah well.

Jerr Conner · 03-31-2004, 08:02 PM

Sarah Michelle Gellar as Aerie, IMO.

Pirengle · 03-31-2004, 10:27 PM

Am I the only one who thinks BG2 would work better as an animated film rather than a live-action film? The voice talent for this game is top-notch, and I'd hate to have somebody I know as "whatsisname from that film" as a character I particularly like or dislike.

Neomi · 04-01-2004, 12:08 AM

The supporting cast would be awesome, yes. Ahhh, but who would play me as the main protagonist?

Note the sarcasm.... I'm sure everyone has a different picture of who the main character would be. Plus, would the movie take a "good" or "evil" path? Would it stick to the main storyline of the video game or simply take the characters into a different adventure? So many possibilities!

Eww that would be an issue. The protagonist could be anybody.

Illumina Drathiran'ar · 04-01-2004, 01:21 AM

The protagonist could be ABBA.
