Here's the same thread from a couple of years ago. It will be interesting to see how the casts differ from now and then: http://forums.eyesonff.com/final-fantasy-viii/85968-if-you-could-cast-ff8-movie.html

[Frequency NecroKat]

I helped you people remember their names. You kept forgetting. :P

I really like BoA Kwon or Fuu, and Taye Diggs makes Kiros... just that more hawt. :D

[Markus. D]

I don't know about BoA for Fuujin... it's her cheekbones y'see.

The rest are pretty top notch though ^_^!!

Specially with makeup and hairdid, you can do anything with that, they already look almost exact anyways, gj on the brainstorming!

Thanks, Tsukasa! We all love when people enjoy our casting lists! :D

Well, you can always suggest someone, too. ;o That's the fun of these things. I remember our Dynasty Warriors cast didn't finalize until it was nearly a year and a half old!

huu, we still need someone for Raijin. I know he reminds me of someone, too! *grumble*

[Rantz]

I'd like someone like Madeleine Zima (http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/15/159365/44_2007/Madeline-ZIMA.preview.jpg) better for Rinoa's part.

For Fujin I don't know... Maybe Jaclyn Ngan (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3147405056/nm2474638)? I haven't seen her in action though.

[Iceglow]

Rantz was that troll posting? Because no offense but:

1) Madeleine Zima in that picture atleast is very ugly however Rinoa is portrayed as beautiful

2) Kiros is a guy, casting a woman in his role would well aside from being weird is wrong.

Also a 3rd point, the link for your kiros suggestion doesn't work for me tells me I don't have permission.

[Rantz]

Oh my, I meant to say Fujin... Not sure why I said Kiros. :p I fixed the link too.

I don't think Madeleine Zima is ugly! I think she's cute. Here's two more pict (http://www2.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Young+Hollywood+Awards+Arrivals+1fARw-rOEF2l.jpg)ures (http://media.monstersandcritics.com/galleries/1252648/TYG-00108440085.jpg).

[Iceglow]

I guess it was just the first picture you linked to of her made her appear ugly.

[scrumpleberry]

Excellent site is excellent. (http://thor.mirtna.org/oddities/lookalikes/index.html)

[Frequency NecroKat]

LMAO. A whole section devoted to David Bowie. Epic Win.

AND how could we forget!? Biggs and Wedge! I don't care if they don't show their faces. They can be the wildcard casting calls. XD

[Cyric]

Rinoa Hartilly (http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/8-rinoa-a2.jpg) - Neve Campbell (http://www.almanua.com/images/mulheres/us/neve_campbell.jpg)

That deserves a :kaofight:

[Levian]

They might be horrible picks, but I'd totally see this movie:

Squall Leonhart - Homer Simpson
Rinoa Hartilly - Lindsay Lohan
Irvine Kinneas - Kelly Osbourne
Quistis Trepe - Lisa Kudrow
Zell Dincht - Jim Carrey
Selphie Tilmitt - a dog
Seifer Almasy - Ronan Keating
Fuujin and Raijin - Zac Efron & Tonya Harding (in that order)
Laguna Loire - Sandra Bullock
Edea Kramer - Paris Hilton
Cid Kramer - Sarah Palin
Kiros Seagul - Tyra Banks
Ward Zaback - Zangief
Ellone - John Travolta. Pretty hot in Hairspray.

[licence]

Seifer Almasy - Ronan Keating

This alone makes it the film a smash hit.

[Cyric]

I had an epiphany while watching 'Serenity' on blu-ray...

Laguna - Nathan Fillion
Raine - Morena Baccarin

[sdm42393]

Cid = Robin Williams

[hhr1dluv]

I pretty much love all of your casting suggestions, Stormie, though with a few exceptions. I think Neve Campbell looks a bit too old to be Rinoa, especially with a Kevin Zegers!Squall, and I feel the same way about Casper Van Dien as Seifer.

I particularly liked your choices for Cid, Edea, Irvine, and Zell. ^_^
