"Definitely not a wrestler. I think just go with a real actor. You know...like a Clive Owen type; somebody who can actually act and is incredibly charismatic. And they can put him on a workout plan for six months so he can build the muscle mass he needs."

Who would you guys like to see play Marcus Fenix.

 

[HK-47]

But Marcus Fenix isnt charismatic in any sense of the word

 

[Proc]

I hope he patches in a clive owen-esque marcus fenix

 

[Google]

Nor is Owen.

 

[bryehn]

So are those guys skinny under that giant armour or what?

 

[newsguy]

Nor is Owen.

This.

 

[The-Switcher]

I would like Clive Owen to punch Cliff Bleszinski in the eye socket.

 

[drohne]

i guess i can see it -- throw him in the biggest fatsuit you can find and then bake it for a while until it shrivels and takes on the consistency of beef jerky and you've got a dead ringer for marcus fenix. or dom. or a locust. or really anybody in gears

 

[industrian]

With a carrot.

 

[Haeleos]

Does not compute.

 

[CoG]

It's nice to want things.

 

[freddy]

I hope they make this movie just so I can laugh at it taking itself seriously.

 

[drohne]

i would like cliffy b to play cliffy b in a gow film the replaces the game's protagonist marcus fenix with cliffy b

 

[dejay]

Man-crush?

 

[Brandon F]

NeoGAF requires script approval of any Gears movie.

 

[Chiggs]

Whoever they got would need some serious acting chops. I don't think I've ever seen a game with more subtle and nuanced characters. Maybe the Unreal Tournament series?

 

[soco]

oh cliffy!

*swooon*

 

[Flyguy]

I would like the late, great Don Knotts to play Marcus Fenix. I can't be the only one.

 

[Akia]

I expected this to be the first reply. GAF you've let me down.

 

[sixteen-bit]

use this guy

 

[BeeDog]

After Children of Men, I wouldn't mind seeing Clive Owen in every film ever. Replace Samuel L. Jackson plz

Spoiler

Children of Men is one fucking awesome movie.

 

[Davidion]

"Definitely not a wrestler. I think just go with a real actor. You know...like a Clive Owen type; somebody who can actually act and is incredibly charismatic. And they can put him on a workout plan for six months so he can build the muscle mass he needs."

A lifetime of overdosing on elephant steroids won't help him build the muscle mass he needs.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Definitely not a wrestler. I think just go with a real actor.

He never thought to say this to his character designer in the last 10 years?

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

After Children of Men, I wouldn't mind seeing Clive Owen in every film ever. Replace Samuel L. Jackson plz

Spoiler

Children of Men is one fucking awesome movie.

Sam Jackson in a GoW movie would own, and you know it. "I'm SAM JACKSON! MY GUN HAS A MOTHER FUCKING CHAINSAW ON IT? WHAT IS YOUR PUNKASS GOING TO DO!"

A lifetime of overdosing on elephant steroids won't help him build the muscle mass he needs.

:lol

 

[freddy]

I'm sure even Arnie could be persuaded to quit his job and make a return to films if he was offered a role of this magnitude.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

use this guy

Agreed.

 

[belvedere]

A "real" actor?

Quit talking Clifford, the more you do the more you resemble a hollow product spokesperson and less like a respectable game developer.

 

[gofreak]

i would like cliffy b to play cliffy b in a gow film the replaces the game's protagonist marcus fenix with cliffy b

Start scheduling it for oscar season, immediately.

 

[Busty]

use this guy

*dominic-purcell-1.jpg[/img]

Agreed.

A lifetime of overdosing on elephant steroids won't help him build the muscle mass he needs.

Double agreed.


Domino motherfuckers.

 

[Sydle]

Please, no.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Vin Diesel, Triple H, Tyrone from Snatch, and Bill Paxton

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

Well Lester Speight should just be given the role of Gus, just because.

And they can put him on a workout plan for six months so he can build the muscle mass he needs.

He makes it sound so 'matter of fact'. "Yeah just push your body to the limit for 6 months straight, any A List actor would want to do that to be in a video game movie.

I can't think of anyone for the other 3 roles really, I'm just gonna keep an open mind until they are announced.

 

[HK-47]

A man of vision right here

 

[Davidion]

Just shave Brock Lesner's head and give him a du-rag. Really your best bet right there.

 

[Graphics Horse]

use this guy

I'm still trying to get over the idea of him as DRACULA

 

[Rapping Granny]

I can picture it already.

 

[keanerie]

children of men was like a half-life 2 / gears of war mashup to me, so i can see where he's coming from, but...

no

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I just realised, instead of giving an actor 6 months of bodybuilding lessons, why not just give a wrestler 6 months of acting lessons?

Acting lessons with Patrick Stewart

"Dom! Make it so."

 

[Lakitu]

Hollywood is really lacking a properly Macho Action guy nowadays, there's no Stallone, Schwarzenegger.

I guess Vin Diesel could be classed as one but he's not done much to warrant that.

But, Clive Owen is awesome, one of my favourite actors.

 

[Brimstone]

Jared Padalecki

Well, to be fair, this has less to do with Hollywood lacking proper macho action actors than it does with Hollywood lacking macho action actors that have the proportions of a rhino standing upright.

 

[badcrumble]

use this guy

yeah use someone whose shoulders are one foot apart

 

[newsguy]

Well that's the illusion you get because his head is about the size of a watermelon.

[GavinGT]

[darkpaladinmfc]

They'd have to give the entire COG cast steroids.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I can picture it already.

 

[Angry Grimace]

If you don't want wrestlers to be cast in the bad movie-adaptations of your game, stop animating your characters to look like they've been pumped with 10,000 gallons of horse steroids.
