[Movies] If you could pick the cast of the Warcraft Movie

[Promere-Icecrown]

If you could pick the cast of the Warcraft movie, who would you choose and what part would they play?

[wickedjefe]

I'll tell you who I wouldn't cast: no already-famous actors. The warcraft universe is already amazing lore-wise (that is, until World of Warcraft of course), so it doesn't need any help from A-listers.

P.S., I'm not hating on what WoW has done to the lore of the Warcraft universe, I just believe things could have happened differently.

Well I'm hoping for there will be a good amount of CGI and epic costumes like in Hellboy II. If so wight as well get a big dude in a costume to play Thrall and have Metzen voice him.

As for regular actors.. Get people who look very normal, so they can disappear behind the costumes. For this movie I'm going to need to see more Varian than whoever the actor is playing him.

I think a good warcraft-universe based film wouldn't have anything to do with the major lore characters or even possibly events as well. One major issue I could see arising with using official Blizz lore characters/events:

1) People/players familiar with the characters and events could be more involved in scrutinizing the validity of the character or events use.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is I think it would be a good move on the directors part to utilize unfamiliar characters involved in a small plot arc unrelated to what players and developers may already know. It would put us all on an even footing.

P.S. sorry if I couldn't explain more/better, I'm in a rush!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie for Arthas/Jaina imo.

Edward Cullen can be Garrosh.

Even though Avatar wasn't the best movie ever - it did have a lot of exciting factors. One of which is female lead na'vi - that's what they need for all the races, people who are gonna bring it, take it seriously and be absolutely convincing. Outside of that, star power is a pretty tricky thing with adaptations of things you adore.

Brad Pitt, Sean Connery and Johnny Depp would all be in it.
And Gwyneth Paltrow.
And Christina Ricci.

i don't care who plays who.

Hugh Jackman, Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp...

I love those guys.

[rantus]

If it were me, I'd have it completly computer generated, with characters looking pretty much how they do in game but better, with the same voice actors used in game too.

If it had to be with actors, then I'd just get anyone who fits the job, since I've never really seen the fuss about what actor plays a dude in a film, I go to see the actual film not the actors who are in it.

[Rageissues]

Unless you want a sad ending, Keanu Reeves will need a part.
We all know that without Keanu we're all completely and utterly fucked.

But... if he played the bad guy... only one person can save us...


This badass mother fucker right here!!!

[Crumpet]

I don't know why, but I'd love to see Joxer the Mighty/Ted Raimi from Xena bumbling through azeroth. The bizzare image entered my head when I heard Sam Raimi was doing Warcraft, and it won't go away.

[Clockwork Pinkie]

I don't know but Kate Beckinsale needs to be in it.

[eillas]

If there is a Night Elf Female lead role in the movie I think it should go to Zoe Saldana

Reason: look at her work in James Camerton's Avatar it is not much of a leap from Na'vi to Night Elf

It would be a nice change so we don't see her Avatar character if she played a Draenei "lead" role, not to mention she's an amazing actor.

If Sam Raimi remains attached, Bruce Campbell needs to be in it!

[ItachiZaku]

I HATE Brad Pitt, but he is perfect for the role of Varian for one reason, his Box Jaw, watch Troy and you will know what I am talking about.

That's about alls I got...

I have a problem with that because mages are supposed to have quite the expansive mind...
