So the question is...what real life actors or actresses, alive or dead, would you choose to portray certain Final Fantasy characters? | |||
Krystal Tomlin - "When prayers turn to promises, not even fate can stand in our way." TALK - 18:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC) - "Wouldn't wanna be you!" | |||
Steve Burton as Cloud Strife. End of story. | |||
Heath Leger would of made a DAMN good Kefka. Exdeath64 00:03, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Krystal, it is funny how Steve Burton does look like Cloud...eerie. Thanks to whoever moved this to the Blackjack, I never got the chance to do so. Hmm...I've always thought that Russell Crowe would make a good Basch. He's got the accent, the gruffness, and the look. | |||

Mr. T is the real life Barret. | |||
This is going to sound WAY worse then I mean it. But have you noticed that 1. There have been VERY few minority characters. And 2. 2 of the most prominent ones have been based off of REALLY crappy celebrities? I just find this a tad strange... Exdeath64 04:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh, almost forgot, you know the guy who played "L" in the death note movie? He would make a good squall, simply due to the emo-ness? (Is there actually a word for that, I loathe using hyphens.)Exdeath64 04:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah but kenichi and squall don't look alike. P.S. emo-ness Should definitely be in the dictionary. | |||
I meant personality-wise. But it would not take that much work to make him look a LITTLE like him. Exdeath64 02:08, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Liam Neeson does a good job at being that middle aged/father figure, big, wise person like Galuf, Auron and Reddas. Jeremy Irons will do the older, but more enigmatic characters like Gestahl and Kate Blanchett works for the cold Ultimecia, or an older version of Ashe, or Scarlett of FFVII. | |||
If any of you FFWikians have watched Disney Channel (I used to watch it when I was bored, but now I almost never watch TV), in particular the abomination that is Hannah Montana, you will know who Emily Osment is. She's Haley Joel Osment's younger sister, you know, the kid in The Sixth Sense and who voices Sora in KH, but she plays Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus's best friend on the Hannah Montana show. She's always reminded me of Rikku of FFX, not just in her appearance, but she has a very bubbly and cutesy personality. She would make a good Rikku. | |||
Here are my picks: Selphie: Miley Cyrus Sabin: The Russian from Rocky IV Lulu: Jennifer Love Hewitt Yuffie: Cristy Calrson Romano Rinoa: Kristen Adams. | |||
Xepscern: Who's Kristen Adams? | |||
Bruce Willis as Cid Highwind. Had to be said. Also- Michael Palin/Eric Idle as random guards eg in Rabanastre, or Lindblum, for a little comic relief. And Yeah, Heath Ledger would make a good Kefka (although it would be an identical role to The Dark Knight. Maybe Jack Nicholson...) | |||
| |||
I'm sure that I'd freak out if someone plays Montblanc in a live action movie. He'd probably be computer animated anyways like the talking animals at Narnia. | |||
Hugh Jackman as Auron :O | |||
Hugh Jackman will do a good Basch, or Vossler, or other tough guys who is poetic and all. I'd kill to see a "Yippe Ki Yay, Motherfucker"-ing Galuf or Cid Highwind. Javier Bardem could play a fuckingly awesome Shadow, or other scary, shady guys who can look scary while looking normal at the same time. No Country for Old Men can prove this. It's pretty hard to make a Final Fantasy film, because until IX, the characters have lousy personalities. | |||
Agreed, it would just ruin it. If you take a video game and turn it into a movie, or vice versa. The new item will probably be utterly lousy, Advent Children being pretty much the only exception. (This INCLUDES resident evil, and if the castlevania movie had gone through, probably that too, thank you writers strike!)
Rutger Hauer would have made a good Seifer- he's the villainous replicant in Blade Runner (check it out). I suppose David Bowie could play a couple of characters- check my userpage for my proof of his presence in different games. Maybe Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber in Die Hard, Sheriff Of Nottingham in Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves) would make a decent believable political villain, such as President Shinra or Deling. However, I would wonder whether the supposed movie would be a copy of the game's original plot, or a sequel/prequel to it, or even an original plot altogether. The two films so far have been an original plot (Spirits Within) and a direct sequel (FFVII:AC). Square should try and learn from previous mistakes. (Trail Of Thought...) Hmmm...Alan Rickman as President Shinra, with Bruce Willis as Cid Highwind. set in Shinra Building in Midgar... Maybe set around Christmas Time...A hostage situation, perhaps...This has potential, especially if there's a few explosions, gunfights and chases in vents/elevantor shafts. I'm pretty sure I've heard or seen a film a bit like this idea, though... | |||
I'd be pretty damn wary of a live-action Final Fantasy movie, but if it absolutely had to happen, I'd want Clint Eastwood to play Auron, Angelina Jolie to play Lulu and Miley Cyrus to play Rikku. I'm not too sure about Wakka and Tidus. If they made a movie of FFVI, a young Audrey Hepburn would have made a good Terra. Nevanus 23:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
James Earl Jones or Hugo Weaving could make the right voices for Garland, Golbez or Exdeath, and Ian McKellen could play Fusoya well also. | |||
John Cleese as Strago. David Bowie as Kuja. Christina Ricci as Terra. Lindsay Lohan as Cissnei. Dwayne "the rock" Johnson as general Leo. Abigail Breslin as Relm. Lionel Ritchie as Sazh. I could go on.FaythOfFenrir 00:28, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
Violetmage - Sweater vests are a luxury in this day and age. TALK - And damn it feels good to be a gangsta!-03:03, September 17, 2009 (UTC) | |||
I would be so excited if David Bowie dressed up as Kuja...I'd nearly pee my pants. | |||
- unconscious shudder*...A dark chill just ran down my very soul...Exdeath64 03:06, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
Well... River Phoenix as Squall (obviously) Robin Williams as Cid Kramer (Even more obvious) Michael Jackson as Kefka (C'mon, cant you see the resemblance?) Jennifer Love Hewitt as Rinoa (Just a first thought) Jake Busey (Starship Troopers) as Zell (Y'Saw the movie? then you know what I mean) Casper van Dien as Seifer (Well he IS similar) Christian Bale as Laguna (Just look at his face! So identical!) David Bowie as The Emperor (yeah, I agree with KrystalTomlin on this) And, I don't know...Johnny Depp as Faris? | |||
Michelrpg If miley cyrus was cast as selphie I would throw this world into a pit of neverending agony and darkness. for real. Lets see.... Bruce Willis as Cid Highwind (FF7), OR as Rude (FF7), David Boreanez as Squall (FF8), Johnny Depp as Kuja (FF9). Jeremy Irons... someone like Irons MUST be in an FF movie. Question is as who, since he portrays excellent psychopath killers (kefka?) as well as moralistic good characters (Cid from FF8?), or tortured characters (vincent from FF7?). Truth be told, I would prefer if an FF real-life movie was portrayed by young, unknown characters with support from one or two veteran actors (Irons, Alan Rickman, Alan Alda maybe?), and just see how it goes. You know, characters who grew up with the games and know what's expected of them.
I could see Johnny Depp as Kefka... Hmmmm... Tila Tequila as Rydia?... oh crap, I shouldn't have said that... | |||
Just for the flair of the clothing, I'd say Lady Gaga could play Gogo from FFVI. | |||
Hm...let's see here...And for most of this, assume the movies are in CGI. And if I butcher the names, I don't actually care. Celebrities are nothing more then talking heads to me.
- Cloud of Darkness- Angelina Jolie, mostly due to that damn Beowulf movie, I regret ever illegally downloading the thing...
- Bartz- Maybe Johnny Depp if it where CGI
- Kefka- Heath Ledger, who else but the immortal psycho clown? At least his joker performance overshadowed that cowboy movie...
- Genesis- Gackt for obvious reasons
- Kuja- Mike Myers, mostly because he would have a ton of fun with it. And I can sort of see Kuja sounding like his actual, non Ogre or horny Englishman voice.
- Auron- that guy from Ghost Rider and that National Treasure movie, I cannot recall the name
Thats all for now, and please note that with the possible exception of Depp, none of these wankers have probably ever heard of the Final Fantasy series. That goes for a vast majority of the lists of other people. Exdeath64 05:20, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Nicholas Cage is the name you're looking for. Also: Yeah, the Beowulf movie sucked. Why did the enormous dragon have a human-sized heart? Why did the dragon's weak point glow? Why does anyone in Hollywood bother acquiring the movie rights to a story when the final product is nothing like the original? Silver Dragon XXVIII 20:45, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
I'm horrible at this, so I'll only list a couple...
- Samuel L. Jackson as Barret (though I'm not sure if Ol' Sammy is bulky enough to be Barret)
- Johnny Depp either as Laguna from FF8 or Vincent from FF7...or maybe even Sephiroth?
- Rider Strong as Squall? (just a thought) *shrugs shoulders*
- Owen Wilson as Zell possibly?
Told you I was bad at this.--WhiteSeeD 13:06, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
Watch this:
& this:
I believe if I had to pick a celebrity to play Yuna in anything it'd be actress Camilla Belle (When a Stranger Calls and 10,000BC); she's got similar looks mannerisms and her voice immediately makes me think of Yuna. Eddy ewww (talk) 14:37, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
Steiner: Can't be anyone else but Patrick Warburton. Who else to play Barret but "Mr. T" I mean there's already hundreds of memes of that.
