I don't know about Jim Carrey for Kefka. I think he'd play him too over the top. Yes, Kefka should have some dark humor, but he should also be taken seriously as an evil, psychotic, ruthless killer, and I don't think Carrey could pull it off.
Orlando Bloom would probably make a better Edgar than a Setzer.
I can't think of any good ideas. Maybe Jessica Biel as Terra? I'll post later if I can think of anything else.
Dear God, no.Quote:

I have no idea who would be who. I'd rather see it as an anime than live action, I think.
My money's on a bunch of Japanese actors who we have no idea even exist.
i think that setzer should be val kilmer!!! :love: yeah!
Kefka : Jack Nicholson / Gary Oldman
Setzer : Pierce Brosnan / Liam Neeson
Locke : Johnny Depp
Shadow : Christian Bale
Celes : Uma Thurman
Terra : Liv Tyler
Edgar : Tom Cruise / Nicolas Cage
Cyan- Steven Seagal
Sabin-Lenox Lewis lol!
Cyan val kilmer http://www.collectinghollywood.com/VKilmer1.jpg
locke jake gyllenhaal http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo...l/darkopre.jpg
For some reason I keep thinking Van Damme would be good as Sabin, even though I know that's completely wrong. Van Damme isn't good at playing ANYTHING. He just kinda happens to look the part.
I think the suggestion about Segal playing Cyan is probably not a bad idea if you can get the man to do something remotely resembling emoting. Cyan's story involves a lot of pathos, something martial arts film stars aren't known for.
I can't possibly see Ian McKellan playing Strago though. Not saying he doesn't have the range to do it, just that it somehow doesn't seem right. It's like asking Kenneth Brannagh to play Deuce Bigalo.
Relm should definitely be played by the girl from A Series Of Unfortunate Events. At least, that's only if this were to be made in the next 5 seconds or so, 'cause she'll be too old very soon.
As far as Kefka's concerned, I'm convinced that Tim Curry was born to play that role.
Nice suggestions..Only that i'd prefer as Locke:Paul WalkerQuote:

Hmm... I know I've put my two cents in other threads like this, but I can't remember who I said... might as well do it again!
Terra - Tina Majorino (Waterworld, Napoleon Dynamite)
Locke - Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko, The Day After Tomorrow)
Edgar - Jeremy Renner (S.W.A.T., Lords of Dogtown)
Sabin - Guy Pearce (Memento, The Time Machine)
Banon - Gary Oldman (The Fifth Element, Batman Begins)
Celes - Claire Danes (Brokedown Palace, Terminator 3)
Shadow - Eric Bana (Hulk, Troy)
Cyan - Russell Crowe (Gladiator, Master and Commander)
Gau - Spencer Treat Clark (Gladiator, Mystic River)
Setzer - Johnny Depp (Secret Window, Pirates of the Caribbean)
Strago - Jack Warden (12 Angry Men, The Replacements)
Relm - Alexa Vega (Spy Kids series)
Kefka - Crispin Glover (Back to the Future, Charlie's Angels)
Gestahl - Alan Rickman (Dogma, Love Actually)
Leo - Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Assault on Precinct 13)
That's the best I can do for right now, anyway.
I almost totally agree with Strider. Good choices!
Johnny Depp is too old to play Locke, as a couple other people suggested, and you know he'd make a free-wheeling gambler like Setzer pretty interesting. It seemed like an especially natural fit.
Kefka should not have a British accent.Quote:

I always thought Jim Carey would make a good Kefka myself.
Oh how I wish they would make a movie on FF6, I definetly would go see it.
Jack Nicholson would be the perfect Kefka, if only he weren't too old. I don't think Johnny Depp is necessarily too old to play Locke though. And I really like Inferno's suggestion of Uma Thurman as Celes.
However, Behold the Void is entirely right. :D
Jack Nicholson, after being the joker, would make an excellent Kefka.
depp could pull of Locke or Setzer
Emperor Ghestahl should be played by Ian Mackellen
Terra, that russian who played in Resident Evil
Celes - some hot oprah singer
Gau - Hayden Christiansen (drools)
Sabin - Brad Pitt
Edgar - Tom Cruise of course
that's all i can think of.
OOOO Robin Williams might make an interesting character somewhere, I just don't know who... with the marvels of Hollywood make-up, he could be a damn good Strago.
The only problem with Johnny Depp is that according to Flying Mullet's trusty Figaro Castle site, Locke is only 25. Hell, even Setzer is only 27, and that's where I had Depp pegged. He's 42, for the record. That's why I tried to stick with mostly younger actors, seeing as Cyan and Strago are the only two characters over 27 years of age.Quote:

I do agree with you on the last part, though.
The thing is, though, that neither of them really looks that old. It'd be a definite stretch for Jack Nicholson to play Kefka, since I believe he's pushing seventy, but it's not entirely unheard of for actors in their thirties to play characters in their twenties.Quote:

How about we let FF6 stay decent, and not ruin it by making a movie on it?
Yeah, but Uma Thurman playing Celes is like Freddy Prinze Jr. playing an intelligent high school senior.Quote:

Uma Thurman is a decent enough actor to be able to adapt nicely to any role, I think ;p
Celes is one of my favorite characters and thinking of Uma Thurman playing her really makes me cry... :cry:
Daniel Day-Lewis - Cyan
That would be Milla Jovovich.Quote:

Kefka may seem a little odd with a british accent, but it doesn't matter. But I like the original Jim Carrey idea. After all, did you see him play the Riddler? he did an awesome job with that character, and they seem a lot alike. And Jonney Depp would definately be awesome for Locke or Setzer.
I like Robin Williams for Kefka.
I have to put Christopher Walken in this movie. He could play anybody... it would be awesome.
How about Christopher Walken as Cid?
Cyan - Sir Sean Connery
Kefka - Kenneth Branaugh (spelling?)
Emperor Ghestal - Ian MacKellan
Setzer - Johnny Depp
Shadow - Viggo Mortensen
Ultros' voice - Quentin Tarantino
Sabin - Matt Damon if he beefed up more
Thats all I can think of right now. I liked Jim Carrey and Robin Williams as Kefka. Although they traditionally play comedy roles, seing them as a truly evil character would be an amazing sight. In fact, I think I am going to become a screenwriter now, so I can cast Jim Carrey as a really evil character.
Christopher walken should be setzer, just because of the "wandering gambler" thing. I'd say that Christopher Walken has the voice for that sort of character...
That would work. Just put some hair extensions on him.Quote:

Dude, Michael Jackson as Mog. He could do Mog's dances!Quote:

Edgar - Ryan Gosling - remember him in that movie with Sandra Bullock? You know? Maybe? The Notebook? Anybody?
Baron - Liam Neeson
Sabin - William Lee Scott
Celes - this one is hard - maybe Helena Bonham Carter?
Cyan - I'd like to see Viggo Mortensen or Eric Bana
Gau - pick any kid actor who can run around and dance like a monkey
Shadow - if he were a little smaller, I'd say Ving Rhames - sorry, but I always saw Shadow as being black
Setzer - Yeah, I guess I'm gonna have to say Johnny Depp here, just because he's the only one I can think of who would play Setzer to his fullest potential
Ghestahl - Brendan Gleeson - Agamemnon in Troy, or the Senator guy who kills himself in Bourne Supremacy
Kefka - Gary Oldman, all the freakin' way!
Relm - Miranda Cosgrove - from School of Rock
Strago - Ian Holm, aka Bilbo from LOTR
Leo - I hate to say it, 'cause I hate the guy, but Keanu Reeves might fit this one okay - plus he gets to die, so, you know, I'll be happy
I feel like I'm missing someone...
I can die happy now I've read this! (Hamha)Quote:

I think Brad Pitt is the only choice for Sabin. People love to hate him, but honestly I've never seen a bad Brad Pitt movie. He's the spitting image of him, even if he might not be as big, but he can bulk up fairly well, and he can look plenty scruffy...and if anyone's seen Fight Club...well 'nuff said
I think Liam Niesson might make a good General Leo more than anyone else.
If you really think about it, no matter what actors they would get, a movie of FFVI would completely suck and ultimately leave everyone dissapointed and not do the game justice. I don't think it can ever be appropriately pulled off.
Oh!
You could have Nick Stahl play Locke. He looks the part and he's a decent actor, if you ask me.
You're on the right track... What about Danny DeVitto as Emperor Ghestal? Short fat and evil... Perfect!Quote:

Terra - Liv Tyler (as of now, this is the best I can do for Terra, but to be honest, I don’t think there is any actress that looks anything like her)
Locke - Johnny Depp (both look like dirty thieves)
Edgar - Orlando Bloom (you cant deny it, he was BORN to play this role)
Sabin - Dolph Lundgren (don’t know who he is but this link should end all debate about who would be Sabin http://www.hokutonoken.it/cinema/DolphLundgren4.jpg)
Celes - Diane Krueger (I think she could pull off the mysterious/hot factor of Celes)
Cyan - Russell Crow (who else?)
Gau - Brad Pitt (let’s see how hot u think he is after this appearance)
Shadow - Jackie Chan (I can’t believe no one said him yet! Who else could play a ninja that well?)
Setzer - Val Kilmer (put a bunch of fake scares on him and it would do fine)
Ghestahl - Ian MacKellan (a better Ghestahl than Strago)
Kefka - Jim Carey or Jack Nicholson (both did great jobs playing crazy/evil guys in Batman movies and Kefka is the ultimate crazy/evil badguy)
Relm - Katie Holmes (I know shes not a little girl anymore, but she still looks like one)
Strago - I hate Strago
Ultros' voice - Christopher Walken (I would die laughing any time I heard him say anything)
Almost all of these actors you're picking are TOO OLD.
Especially Uma Thurman as Celes!
Celes is 18!
I think you have to remember the ages of the characters.
By the way, I think I should play Terra since I have the turquoise hair and everything haha.
Really though, I prefer there NOT to be a movie for this game.
Hollywood is evil and will definitely ruin it for me.
I'm a big fan of keeping Orlando Bloom out of any role involving acting. So I'd say stick him as Gogo if you've got to have him in there. I've never liked the idea of Jim Carrey as Kefka. He's too over the top wild and wacky, rather than ove the top psychotic. I've never found his acting style would match up with Kefka's personality well at all. Now that said, he has done some serious roles, and proven that he can actually act quite well, so maybe he could pull it off, but I haven't seen him in a role that even remotely reminds me of Kefka. I've got to agree with Strider on Crispin Glover for the role. In fact I've got to agree with Strider on a lot of his picks, although some I've never heard of.
Whaaat? Who haven't you heard of?
By the way, you could also consider Emile Hirsch for Locke, too.
EDIT:
Also, I think it'd be feasible to take Leo in a different direction and make him black. As it is, his sprite from the game is relatively dark-skinned compared to everyone else.
As such, I'd also recommend Laurence Fishburne for that role. Ethan Hawke, Laurence Fishburne... you could go in a few different directions with Leo.
