Come on; he looks exactly like Squall !
QUISTIS - Gwyneth Paltrow

Need I say more?
RINOA - AMY LEE

huh, huh, huh, huh, huh?
SELPHIE - JESSICA BIEL

You take it from here.
Wow...good call with Josh Hartnet. I never noticed that before.
All I can think of at the moment is John Goodman playing Ward.
^Hmm..that's a good choice, too. I always saw Robin Williams as Cid, though.
Maybe it's just me, but I think Heath Ledger would be a pretty good Irvine. He's got the looks for a ladies` man, and I'm sure he could pull off an accent...if Irvine would have one....hmm....Beverley Mitchell, I think, would be a better Selphie...maybe. Catherine Zeta-Jones as Edea? She has a great deal of presence...meh.
That's all I can think of as of now.
:D
I don't know them but ....
Geez, what's wrong with your eye???
Rinoa :love: :love:

Robin Williams if definately Cid:

Zell = Seann Willams Scott:

LOL oh my god! Totally!Quote:
While Amy Lee is gorgeous, she totally the wrong shape for Rinoa. She'd have to lose a HELL of a lot of weight to get to that childish skinny runt look. I'd say Heath Ledger would be better off playing perhaps Laguna. Sly Stallone as Ward, dunno who I'd cast as Kiros.
I think Amy Lynn Lee will be a great Rinoa. Look, Amy has that little something thing that make us look where she is. I like her! Jeez... That FFVIII casting is very confusing, but it's ok! ^^
Rinoa was modeled after actress Matsu Takako, therefore she ideally should be her: http://mimi.myrice.com/pic/page2/29.jpg
Ellone = Nev Campbell
http://www.onthecoast.com/schylaar/images/300nev1.jpg
Selphie = Ashely Judd
http://users2.ev1.net/~jemhadar/imag...y_judd_001.jpg
Ultimecia = Anjelica Huston
http://movieshop.ru/catalog/people/003000/003020/i.jpg
Julia Heartilly = Catherine Zeta-Jones
http://www.celebrity-exchange.com/ce...zeta-jones.jpg
ShivaBlizzard is right Rinoa is definitelly that japanesse actress, but if you're looking for Squall check Steve Burton.
Hey, Steve Burton is a perfect Squall too... Papacito! XD
What about Jared Leto as Squall?
He´s definitely cute... I couldn´t have said it better: ES UN MANGO!!!
Squall was modeled after Japanese singer GacktQuote:

^ I never really understood that, sicne Squall looks so different. In my opinion, at least. And if I went on first impressions, and started assuming things, i'd say they don't act anything alike either. Gackt=creepy. Meh. Jared Leto'sa good choice, me thinks. And definitley Sean William Scott for Zell. I can't believe I never noticed that before...
:D
Yeah, he doesn't look much like Gackt.
Yes!! Yes!!! Yes!!! When Selphie's 25 to 28 years old! :love:Quote:

BTW, he sure does look like Squall, esp 6th image! (below the larger images, 3rd from the left - I pretend that I'd only seen this picture and 4th image.) The 1st image of Gackt looks stupid!
I think that Matsu Takako doesn't look like Rinoa. Why??
ahem, I'll try to explain how I judge on their appearances.
It's simplicity itself. 2 keywords: smile & eye.
Matsu Takako - OK, their hair style's similar. But her smile's totally different. Enough! Out of my list.
Gackt - Did you notice his eye?? It grieves me, just like Squall!
Amy Lee - She looks like Ultimecia, no doubt.
PS: Hey, I don't know about them. So, it's fair to comment on them.
I guess you can't see past the asian-ness. I think the shape of the face and jaw of both guys are exactly the same and if Squall wasn't smiling that stupid smile, they'd both have that same serious look.Quote:

Hmm, they should have put a picture where squall is not smiling if that is the reason they don't look alike.
For Rinoa, I always picture her as a half-asian/half-white person but I guess that's just me.
I think they shouldn't be real people...
I have to agree...They should not be real people.....I think they should stay with the orginal concept of CGA like they did with Spirits Within, and what they are doing with Advent Children. I just hope that this time they add that little blerb at the end of the movies (which they did not do with TSW) like they do with the games.
Square's not really making an FF8 movie (and lets' face it, they probably never will). All we're saying is that IF FF8 had been a live-action movie rather than a game, or if it were made into one, what actors look like the characters? I mean, we're not even taking acting ability, appropriate ages, or even ability to speak English into consideration here. LOL. :p

They should get Billy Idol to play Zell!!! :D
I would not want real people playing final fantasy chracters at all . And how tacky is gackts coat and pants that are supposed to be like Squalls?!
As tacky as Squall's, really. Which is very very tacky.Quote:

I don't think Squalls clothes are tacky, but that Gackts are because Squalls aren't in pvc like his.Quote:

Shiva: Good choices. :up:
Thanks, Del! :p
- Shiva
I've just seen some pictures from the new film 'Alexander' and Jared Leto definetly does look the most like Squall (i.e absolutly gorgeous)thats possible without plastic surgery ;) :D
amra
I'm afraid I have to disagree with Josh Hartnett being cast as Squall - he doesn'thave the kind of intensity I imagine when I think of Squall in the flesh ...
haven't you seen josh hartnett in pearl harbour? that was some pretty intense acting.
i'm loving most of the choices so far (especially shiva's, good call on the gorgeous johnny depp as irvine, even if he is a little old!)
hmm... must think about this now. i'll be back with some suggestions later!
how about ryan phillippe as (a much hotter) seifer?
Interesting thread...
here are my choices so far...
Ellone Loire Rachael Leigh Cook
Rinoa Heartilly Shannen Doherty
Michael Jackson as Edea???
* rolls around on floor , laughing hysterically *
Harsh man, I liked Edea. Now every time I look at her I'm going to think about Michael Jackson. . . :barf: Die!:shoot:Quote:

Heh Kuja looks more like Micheal JacksonQuote:

I'm totally agree if Robin Williams is Cid Kramer. Really suits him. 100%!!!
I think Josh Hartnett has Squall's image on him. But he's too tall I guess? Jude Law can be suitable also, his cool looking and beautiful eyes matches Squall's image but he's blonde and eyes are blue.
Gwyneth as Quistis Trepe? Not agree. Gwyneth is just too soft and her charm was really different from Quistis's. I prefer Nicole Kidman or Julia Roberts? but they're already too old! Perhaps Kirsten Dunst is still suitable to take the role.
Amy Lee looks like Ultimecia from my sight :rolleyes2 with her gothic stares.
Laguna.... choose Keanu Reeves. He has the image but so sad I cannot imagine if he performs the stupid scene of Laguna's cramping leg .... :p
Ellone.... choose Natalie Portman :D beauty, wise, and calm.
Edea.... choose Zeta-Jones, she's suitable for mysterious woman dressed up in black. Or Shannen Doherty. but Zeta-Jones has more gothic charm.
General Caraway's..... Pierce Brosnan :D
Rinoa Heartilly.... if you choose Caucasian woman.... choose the Snowhite... what is her name? Kristin Krauk?
Selphie.... Cameron Diaz.... :D but she's tooooo oldddd..... whoelse is as funny and lively as her?
Sorceress Adel.... Serena Williams :D :D
Hm, Brandon Boyd might make a nice Squall....
Ryan Philippe as Seify? No http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifing way! He's too much of a babyface!
Linden Ashby would make a great Seifer: http://www.lindenashby.org/cgi-bin/g...iew.cgi?id=103
If only he were 20 years younger...
Sean Williams should play Zell no doubt.
But if they do make a movie, it should be CG
Yeah. That does sound better. But using thier vioces would be cool. Why not Sean William Scott as Zell? They're almost the same in personality! Plus, that would make people like Zell more. *Crazy Sean fan girls*
If it was up to personality, the choice for Zell would have to be no other than Lars Ulrich :D
Here is a picture of a stud who could play a PERFECT Zell!!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...e/3d1c7de0.jpg
OMG! Was that a joke? Haha. Cool beans. That could work! *Laughs so hard she fals outta the chair*
perfect match!
I was kidding. I luv the mohawk. *Grins real big*
You cosplay?Quote:
Here is a picture of a stud who could play a PERFECT Zell!!
I don't. Is it cool? Or any fun? I don't know. I've never done it.
Bill Cosby as Raijin
Jodie Sweetin as Fujin
Deling City
as for Shiva, I cant post the pic here, I dont want to get banned.
Um, Dude, Why Bill? Isn't He...old?
its a joke
Oh. Lol. Sry. *Blonde...Literally* Well who do u really think? Honestly?
I seriously think there shouldn't be a FFVIII movie. The game was just fine.
I think that what they meant was "Which celebrity looks most like ... from FFVIII?" This has nothing to do with any movie. Shiva, those are some great choices, they are almost identical.
Hmm...Alrighty, Well...The ones Shiva explained really looked good. Those are good choices. Why not Pamela Anderson as Quistis? Lol. J/K. That might give her an edge though.
remember the guy from the dungeons and dragons movie as the main character hima s squall i just saw it straight away but i think they should be computerized into a near modern setting, voices done over by suitable actors we know Squall as David Boneraz has experience with his character from KH all that sarcasm and acting as if he cared stuff really got to me but we need someone who can think negative alot to play squallat the eatrly part of the game. Selphie and Zell we need some people who are wild for Zel someone who can act angry over nothing. Irvine we need a ladies man a flirt someone who fanatasizes real bad.
...the guy from D&D???...i don't think so...maybe Tom Cruise...with a lot of makeup...Rinoa-Shennon would be ok...Quistis-Gvinet looks like her,but,I dunno...I think that N.Portman would be better off as Selphie...Seifer...whell,Seifer IS 18year-old David Bouvie...Amy Lee would be great Edea...R.Williams=Cid...Ultemecia...maybe that chik from Whitintemtation...other characters...I just can picture any actor in their role...maybe Rock as Raijin,but thats all...this is just an a opinion,everyone is intitle to one...
Rinoa...Shannon Dohertyhttp://re2.mm-b.yimg.com/image/623607357 http://re2.mm-c.yimg.com/image/874962421
Selphie...Melanie Paxsonhttp://re2.mm-b.yimg.com/image/711020734 http://re2.mm-a.yimg.com/image/19347189
i definitely think shannen doherty is a good rinoa!! :D
not to really change the subject, but what cities do you think would make good cities from the game?
hmmm seaside place for balamb most likely Britain or new zealand
i think the entire thing should b european... europe is sooo beautiful and there are a lot of historical places there.....
ive been to alot of castles in the Uk i live near a few in northumbria
Hmm, first, her name is kristin Kreuk, and I can kinda see that, and the best i've heard so far...Quote:

Sean as Zell, definitely works...
SO what if Cameron Diaz is old, they have older people play teens all the time so whatever, she does have the personality of selphie in most her movies...
THE JACKEL
cameron diaz would do fine but she would need brown hair to fit the part... i couldnt see her dying her hair brown... it wouldnt fit her right!!
wigs?
...wigs??? ...they all use wigs,so why not use them again...
...on second thought...do U think that Shannon might have LITTLE breast problem?????
EDIT: Don't double post. And yeah, Shannon would make a better Tifa. -Murder
i think robin williams and seann william scott are perfect for the parts of cid and zell but not josh hartnett.
i have a friend at work who is the absolute spitting image of squall, except he isn't an actor.
as for selphie, she has to be the smallest actress in the world, selphie is only 5 feet 1 inches tall.
personally its best if we choose actors who around the collective ages of the game characters. for example shannon doherty is in her late twenties - far too old, same for gweneth paltrow. i think the best idea is to go for unknowns or little known actors instead of a-listers.
I agree with Josh & DEFINATELY SSW as Zell...Priceless..Ward maybe Sly
But 1 unmentioned
Lou Diamond Phillips as Kiros *nods*
http://loudiamondphillips.atspace.org/yguns2pub01.jpg
how about this as ultimecia? (j/k)
and justin timber lake as seifer
Jenifer Gardner as Selphie
Buffy as Quistis
Brad Pitt as Irvine?
oh and Angelica Houston as Adel?
http://www.draculas.com.au/images/ho...ion_huston.jpg
And lastly Christian Bale as Squall. :D
how about Edea ;) . she's got the dress and the nails. all that is left is her hair! :D. Tom Welling (Smallville) might make a good Squall...Quote:

Tom Welling as Squall?............no....
Angelica Huston would make a great Adel/Edea/Ultimecia. Maybeshe could play all three parts? :)
The best for Squall's part so far I think is Brandon Boyd [someone suggested that earlier in this thread].
And the best Rinoa would be Rachael Leigh Cook, who would also make the perfect Garnet.
I think maybe Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Squall
http://www.jrmfansite.org/gallery/gorm/gorm43.jpg
He's very talented in making you love him even if your meant to hate him.
...Random fact: Gackt actually renamed and refers Squall as 'Gackt 2'...(As I do now everytime I start a new game XD)
But yeah, Gackt would play Squall -- They look friggin identicle, deal with it XD
When I first saw Cid, I knew Robin Williams would be perfect.
As for everyone else...I have no fuggin clue XD
