FF7 character-actors

[Excelsior]

this is to compliment that FF6 character actor thread. i think that if they made a movie, they should pick Eminem for cloud, Mr.T for barrett, paris hilton as aeris, pamela anderson as Tifa, and it should be directed by Uwe Boll (house of the dead, alone in the dark, bloodrayne)

[Cybele]

Hmm...I always thought that Cassie Steele would make a good Tifa for some reason. I also thought that Aeris should be played by Alexis Bledel. I don't know about anyone else though...Yuffie should probably be played by someone who's Japanese because I think that she's Japanese in the game. I think Wutai is a Japanese town, but I'm not positive. I don't know of any Japanese actresses though.

[Mirage]

I could go with Paris as Aeris only because I'd get a chance to see Paris Hilton getting stabbed by a very sharp pointy object. But even then, PLEASE NO! NOT THAT ALIEN.
Anyway, Keanu Reeves as Cloud? Tom Cruise as Vincent?

[gil-galad]

barret - michael clarke duncan (armageddon) or wesley snipes
cloud - hmmm...keanu reeves would probably the best bet but he'd look weird with blonde hair
tifa - dunno really
aeris - liv tyler plays these sorta roles well just look at her in LOTR
vincent - tom cruise is way too short for this role and dont think he would suit it, if brandon lee was still alive he'd be perfect or maybe johnny depp but....
sephiroth - johnny depp would be better suited to play sephiroth imo
cid - ive always imagined cid as a sorta bruce willis looking guy
cait sith and yuffie - lets just quietly kill these two characthers at the beggining in fact lets kill em before the film is set so we dont have to see em

[Joshkabob]

I think Keanu Reeves would be a better vince. Sephiroth is a tough one to pick out.

[Shoden]

the actors for ff7 are a hell of a lot harder than ff8 but i agree Barret= Weasley snipes

[cloud20747]

I think Keanu Reeves would be a better vince. Sephiroth is a tough one to pick out.

Yeah I think so too, his voice is perfect and he has that "I have to repent for my sins" attitude.

[BG-57]

Every time I see this topic in a thread I always say the same thing:

Denis Leary as Cid.

[Kamrusepas]

Alexis Bledel as Aerith = nice! :)
Johnny Depp as Vince... Just look at him in the AC screenshots and tell me he doesn't look like Edward Scissorhands...

[Big D]

i think that if they made a movie, they should pick Eminem for cloud, Mr.T for barrett, paris hilton as aeris, pamela anderson as Tifa, and it should be directed by Uwe Boll (house of the dead, alone in the dark, bloodrayne)You ARE kidding, right?
Right?

[DK]

Micheal Clarke Duncan is probably the only person who's big enough to play Barret. And he's a great actor.

[LastCetra]

Sephiroth = Anthony Hopkins

[DocFrance]

These have to be the worst ideas I have ever seen. Paris Hilton as Aeris? I don't even see anything close to a resemblance. Pamela Anderson as Tifa? Why? Just because they both have big tits? Again, hardly any resemblence. Anthony Hopkins as Sephiroth? This one just baffles me. I'm just glad Square isn't reading these forums for ideas.

And what's with everyone thinking Johnny Depp should be in every movie? Give it a rest.

Dennis Leary as Cid, on the other hand... would be pure pwnage.

[Skyblade]

Kate Blanchett as Aeris
Miranda Otto as Tifa
Liv Tyler as Yuffie
Sean Bean as Cloud
Hugo Weaving as Sephiroth (c'mon, he'd be perfect for the role)
John Rhys Davies as the voice of Cait Sith and/or Red XIII (he'd make a good Barret were it not for the skin color)
David Winham as Rufus
Peter Jackson as President Shinra... :shifty:
Andy Serkis as Vincent
Cristopher Lee as Hojo

Pattern? What pattern? :shifty:

Oh, and Keanu Reeves cannot act. The best I would nominate him for is Reno.

[Kamrusepas]

Erh, big no no. None of those fit. And Reno deserves better.

[Shoden]

man good comment just coz the game tifa has massive kablookas doesnt mean the actor has too plus tifa doesnt deserve blonde :(

Square could be reading our every post for all we care we dont know do we

[Dante WolfWood]

I believe keanu reeves would make a either a great cloud/vincent, I believe I'd rather see him as...Cloud tho.

but Tom cruise, all tho may sound stupid, if they had to pick any english actor for vincent, it should be him.(height has nothing to do with it, hell they make vin diesel seem 2 ft taller than he really is, hes only like 5'8)

[BG-57]

Tom Cruise has already played a gun-toting loner named Vincent. ;)

I'm more partial to the idea of Ralph Fiennes as Vincent. He's great at playing tortured, internalized characters.

As for Anthony Hopkins, I think it'd be interesting to see what he could do as President ShinRa.

[DocFrance]

Tom Cruise has already played a gun-toting loner named Vincent. ;)
Actually, that was John Travolta.

[Chris]

She would make the perfect Aeris .

:(

[BG-57]

Actually, that was John Travolta.

In 'Pulp Fiction', yes, but I was referring to 'Collateral'.

Do you ever get the feeling that screenwriters have run out of new ideas? :greenie:

[CloudStrife48]

That chick would NOT make the perfect Aeris....

My roles:

Cloud: Steve Burton (he did Cloud's voice in KH so Square will prob use him again)
Barret: Samuel L. Jackson (lol I know, i just think hes bad ass. I don't see how everyone wants Mr. T hes not perfect for it...)
Tifa: Liv Tyler (she would do good but Square will prob get someone else)
Aeris: Mandy Moore (did Aeris in KH, she did a good job)
RedXIII: Hmmm I don't know
Cid: Wow this one is tough i couldn't think of anything
Vincent: Johnny Depp (I think he would do awesome in this role)
Yuffie: Christy Carlson Romano (again KH and Square will use her again prob)
Sephiroth: Lance Bass (yes I know, horrible person, hopefully they will change it, but I somehow think they will use him again)


All in all though, the Japanese voices make these roles petty... Vincents japanese voice is just awesome. And Tifa's sounds perfect as well as Cloud's voice....Barrets, Yuffies, Cids..etc!!

[Jojee]

No Liv Tyler as Tifa or Yuffie or anyone >=\ Pure no.

[Dragonfire]

they will most likely use anime voice-actors for this, not A-List celebs

[Monol]

OK OK I GOT THE PERFECT PEARSON TO BE SEPHIROTH!.....you ready for this?! DANNY GLOVER! eh eh? perfect eh?! ;) :D :cool:

[LH]

Ving Rhames needs to be Barret.

Carry on.

[GhandiOwnsYou]

How coudl anyone have missed the most badass of badass actors for Barret? VING FREAKING RHAMES. Ving Rhames. come on, he's huge, he'd do wonders for the role. But i must admit, via AC, he doesn't look ANYTHING like him (actually look's more like X-zibit... god no..... not X-hibit...) (btw, for some of the above, i think we're looking for actors to play a LIVE version, not an animated)

anyway

cloud:(prepares to dodge stones) In the AC church still...he looks a little like leonardo dicaprio.... *Jumps out of the way* HOLD ON! I'm not saying he should be CAST, just that he lokos like him... Truth is, i can't really picture anybody who'd fit with cloud. Tom Cruise would be better. Maybe id Tom cruise and Keanu reeves had a love child, who had tom cruises acting skills and Keanu Reeves "I'm brooding" and "i'm gonna kick yo ass" faces
Tifa: Kristina Kreuk (if she could make movie fights look real. you ever seen her do wire work? *shudders* it's like...D-movie grade....)
Aeris: Emily Van Camp *dependent on role. In most of the game, she fits. but when things go uber-serious and she get's all flighty and mysterious, the elf girl from LoTR would be better*
Vincent: Johnny Depp (he DOES look like edward scissorhands depp, at least in AC)
Nanaki: The guy who did the voice for Jet on Cowboy Bebop
Yuffie: Allison Mack
Cid: DEnis Leary is tight, but he doesn't look right. meh. Leary rocks.
Rufus: Michael Rosenbaum (alright, I know. the third person from smallville. THEY FIT DAMMIT! lol)
Sephiroth: MARYLIN MANSON! come on people. look at the advent children screens. Manson has SO got this wrapped up. and the voice is magnificent. Intelligent, Insane, and Evil all at once. (I wonder if he can act though....)

Ving Rhames....why didn't I think of that? Marylin Manson....maybe let's get that silver wig and see how it looks on him
But I stick with Keanu Reeves as Vincent, the voice is screaming torment but if we could get the young Ed Scissorhands then lets GO FOR IT (I feel like playing Viewtiful Joe)

[Shoden]

Johnny dep suits Vincent perfectly

Wait woh woh woh! Is that girl on the right cassie steele?? She looks like her. If it is she's an actor from the show Degrassi (http://eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57945) ...

[remi07]

I always thought of Orlando Bloom as Cloud, Jennifer Garner as Tifa, and ever since i played KH i've thought Mandy Moore would be great as Aeris. and its gotta be Bruce Willis as Cid.

[Aeritho]

Something Crazy:

Cloud: David Bechkam
Aeris: Britney Spears
Tifa: Lucy Liu
Barret: Danny de Vito
Yuffie: JoJo
Sephirot: Tom Cruise

............. :D

[AoiSora]

Some friends and myself have discussed this topic numerous times. Here's what I've got:

1) Cloud - Matt Damon, but I'm not as sure about this one as I used to be. I like the idea of Orlando Bloom a bit though
2)Aeris - Heather Graham, but that Alexis chick *really* looked the part.
3)Tifa - Sarah Michelle Gellar. She already has martial arts training, to boot.
4) Barret - Ving Rhames
5) Red XIII (voice) - Sam Neill
6) Cait Sith (voice) - John Leguizamo
7) Cid - George Clooney
8) Yuffie - Lacey Chabert
9) Vincent - Johnny Depp
10) Sephiroth - Ewan McGregor (that was another *really* hard one, and we're still not too sure about that one
11)Pres. Shinra - Gene Hackman
12) Rufus - Ethan Hawke
13) Hojo - Geoffrey Rush
14) Tseng - Keanu Reeves
15) Reno - Stephen Dorff (check him out in the movie Blade)
16) Rude - Vin Diesel
17) Elena - Arianne Zuker (she's a soap actress, and I hate soaps. But she has a very strong resemblence, and she's actually one of the few good soap actresses out there)
18) Reeve - Jason Lee
19) Heidegger - Oliver Platt
20) Palmer - Richard Riehle
21) Scarlet - Bridgette Wilson
22)Shera - Famke Janssen
23) Don Corneo - Brendan Gleeson
24) Gast - Alan Ruck
25) Ifalna - Kristin Scott Thomas
26) Elmyra - Meryl Streep

We had so many...I'm not sure if I remembered them all, but I figure that's enough for now. lol If you don't know who some of those are, just look them up on imdb.com

Opinions?

Wow, I liked it a lot, good choices.

[cloud20747]

Vin Diesel.... As Rude????
I don't think he would like to be him seeing how Rude talks next to none but He'll do great .
Nice list too
