View Full Version : Casting for a What-If Baldurs Gate 2 movie? Any thoughts?
Kenshiro Thu, 30th May '02, 8:18am I HIGHLY doubt they'd ever make a movie, but if so, who would you want to see play who in Baldurs Gate 2 film? In this age of makeup and digital tech, not a problem to make someone like John Rhys-Davies a dwarf, so, who do you think could play the various NPC's in the film?
Zakar Thu, 30th May '02, 8:40am NPC's
Arnie as Minsk
Jackie Chan as Yoshimo
Laurence Fishburn as Valygar
Nicholas Cage as Cernd
I'll think of more when Im not so tired.
Volar Blackmane Thu, 30th May '02, 7:45pm The same crew as in the D&D movie, it was absolutely amazing! And Arnold Schwarzenegger can be Sarevok.
Extremist Thu, 30th May '02, 7:53pm Actually I want to see something like Final Fantasy - the movie.
Just not something like "epic" LotR.
I mean, those non-existing people from FF show more emotions than real people in LotR.
Errol Thu, 30th May '02, 8:10pm yeah!
/me pats Ex on the back
an FF kinda version would be cool. But Volar, how could you like it? I thought it was awful.
Blue lips? :grin::hahaerr:
total Thu, 30th May '02, 8:29pm I think P Torment has much better story for a movie than BG I or II, and the atmosphere could be grat, but for BG movie, i would rather see Vin Diesel (Pitch Black)as Sarevok or Minsk. It's not that i dont like Arnie, but he lost that "allmighty" feeling while acting Kindergarten cop or similar (that was funny one!)
And i would be thrilled if they would make connan barbarian 3 with Arnie, then maybe he could play Khalid or Minsk but not some bad guy!
Volar Blackmane Thu, 30th May '02, 8:39pm The whole post was sarcasm, Dungeons & Dragons is one of the crappiest movies I've seen (And I can count them with one hand), it had lousy actors, the story wasn't too hot, etc. etc. In some parts it looked like a local LARP group (like the town with the thieves' guild) had gotten together as nobody else wanted the role. Not too hot. There was only one good actor in the whole movie (Profion) and what about the ending? The characters transformed into strands of red light and flew away, without any explanations.
And no, I wasn't serious about having Arnold in the movie, either.
Sir Dargorn Thu, 30th May '02, 9:01pm Anyone who thinks Jeremy Irons is a bad actor needs to seriously revise their standards!
I think Van Diesel would be a very effective Sarevock. He is such a cool guy! I think Jeremy Irons would make a god Irenicus, maybe even Rickman.... has to be British and the her has to be America, just how it works
Forashi Thu, 30th May '02, 9:10pm Tough one. These are just ideas mostly based on looks. Not enough time to analyze their acting skills.
Aerie: Alicia Silverstone
Imoen: Holly Marie Combs (this's perfect match)
Jaheira: Carrie-Anne Moss (or switch places with Mira)
Mazzy: Gillian Anderson (no way! but she looks the same :D)
Nalia: Kristen Dunst
Viconia: Mira Sorvino (interesting.. as she's always the nice girl)
Anomen: Tobey Maguire (he's such a puss :rolleyes:)
Cernd: William Dafoe
Edwin: Viggo Mortensen
Jan: Paul Ben-Victor
Keldorn: Sean Connery (?)
Korgan: Danny DeVito
Minsc: Arnold Schwarzenegger (as long as he isn't insulted by the role. he'd be perfect)
Sarevok: Sylvester Stallone (couldn't come up with anyone else)
Valygar: Vin Diesel
Yoshimo: Chow-Yun Fat

ArchAngel Thu, 30th May '02, 9:20pm I totally agree with total. *g* That man is totally cool. Arnie IS a kindergarden cop next to him.
EDIT; I thought it was Jeremy Irons who put the voice for Jon Irenicus already. So it would be natural for him to act as Irenicus too.

Damona Silvercloud Thu, 30th May '02, 11:11pm One more link that Xenecor forgot to add to the mix:

Xenecor Fri, 31st May '02, 12:31am I knew I was missing one more!! I don't know why my search didn't produce it. Maybe I didn't look at one of the search pages or something ;)
Alex Fri, 31st May '02, 2:07am What?!
C'mon we gotta have Stone Cold Steve Austin as Minsc... there is no better match. :)

Kitrax Fri, 31st May '02, 3:12am These are my choices for characters/actors.
Male Protagonist: Mel Gibson (He was way cool in Braveheart)
Female Protagonist: Sarah M. Gellar (you never know when you'll fight vampires)
Women:
Aerie: Kristen Dunst (young, and inexperianced)
Imoen: Katie Holmes (why not?)
Nalia: Drew Barrymore (just dye her hair)
MEN:
Keldorn: Sean Connery (old, wise, and sounds cool)
Minsc: The Rock (strong, stupid, probably carries a hamster..."Can you smell what the Rock is cooking Boo?!?!")
:grin: :rolling:
Arabwel Fri, 31st May '02, 8:08am I'd say Vin Diesel would make an excellent Minsc.
I have this mental image of Alan RIckman as Edwin, for some strange reason (Blame the Harry Potter movie and the fact that I spennt half the night just listening to his voice in the movie...)
Alyson Hannigan as Imoen is a good idea as well.
And Juliet Landau could make a good Bodhi :)
Ara
(Past tired, but IRC doesn't work... :()
SleepleSS Fri, 31st May '02, 8:23am Dany DeVito-Korgan!!!!!!!
That chick that plays Willow in BTVS-Imoen (Or Nalia)
Yasmine Bleeth-Viconia ( :) )
John Travolta- The Hero (Yeah you can tell by the way I use my sword..)
Wesley Snipes-Yoshimo
Mr Pink (From Reservoir dogs, always forget his name) That tiefling blade! (Always forget his name)
Ozzy Osbourne-J. Irrenicus!!!!!
That would make an intresting movie :)
Headbanger Fri, 31st May '02, 12:41pm Pink plays Mazzy, Britney places Aerie (ah... my hair)
Jaheira and Viconia will be played by 2 Jerry Springer girls (secret confessions)
:)
Xenecor Fri, 31st May '02, 2:40pm That "chick" would be Alyson Hannigan.
Subra Sat, 1st Jun '02, 1:51am I don't know the girl's name but she played the char. Storm in the X-men movie...she would make a great Viconia. I think Morgan Freeman would be good for Valygar. Gene Hackman for Keldorn. Brendan Frasier for Anomen. Nicole Kidman for Aerie. Sarah Michelle Geller for Jaheira. Maybe Brendan Frasier for Anomen. I'm done.
SlimShogun Sun, 2nd Jun '02, 12:03am Great choices, Sir Bel!
Faerus Stoneslammer Sun, 2nd Jun '02, 8:02am Keldorn- Michael Clarke Duncan (20-25 years older)
