No, not a good idea.

I agree that it wouldn't be a good idea, mainly due to that stylized video games don't translate well into live action movies (Super Mario Brothers and Street Fighter come to mind). Also there's an utter lack of need, since AC was made and computer animation seems to suit the setting and story.
That being said it's a crying shame they didn't tap Denis Leary for the English dub of Cid in AC. He's done voice-over work before so I'm suprised nobody thought of it.
its not actually happening, its hypothetical.
after watching Sweeny Todd i think Johnny Depp could pull of Vincent.
And Jason Isacc's would be a good Sephiroth.
Re-read the original post. And anyway, it's not even a good idea for hypothetical discussion.Quote:

That's probably because we have more advanced technology than they did back then. Perhaps they can now better emulate the appearances of the fictional characters.Quote:

Barret is Mr. T.Quote:

Continuing with voice acting suggestions I think Ron Pearlman would be great for Rude; he's got a wonderfully laconic voice.
lol
Rude = HellBoy
Wow some good suggestions by BG-57 and PeneloRatsbane in here, Dennis Leary as Cid would be great, I really didn't like the actor they gave him, trying to make him all cowboy and such.
But yeah, I don't really think we need one, for videogames I would much rather have CG, I don't know why, but as BG stated, and Rocco Lamponi said in the Godfather pt. II
"Difficult, but not impossible"
Here are my picks for the cast:
Hugh Jackman-Sephiroth
Michael Johns (American Idol 2008 finalist)-Cloud Strife
Carly Smithson (American Idol 2008 finalist)-Tifa Lockhart
Hayden Christensen-Vincent Valentine
Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace vocalist)-Zack Fair
Holly Brook (singer featured in Fort Minor)-Aerith Gainsborough
Wyclef Jean-Barret Wallace
Devon Aoki-Yuffie Kisaragi
Even if they made another CG movie like its sequel Advent Children, I'd still like the characters to look like and be voiced by the above selections.
