Time to pretend again! -- ff8 movie-age

I could've sworn there was a not too horribly archaic post about who could play who in a ff8 movie, but I couldn't see one at first glance. so yey!

Anyways. The obligatory 'omp who would play who?' etc.

I only bring this up, because in the movie we just finished watching in french class, Anne Brochet kept reminding me of Quistis.

My reasoning?

you can google her for images, but she doesn't seem to have light reddish blonde hair except in cyrano, but I did a half arsed job in psp really quickly to share.

Anyone else got people that just strike you as being an excellent actor (or at least a lookalike) for someone in ff8?

^Meh, maybe.
Quistis is really hard to cast for... I'd personally say Tina Fey or Cate Blanchett.
But they don't fit either...

I've always thought Nicole Kidman would make a good Quistis:

i would say that Josh Hartnett could play Seifer
Rachel Leigh Cook would be Ellone
maybe Katie Holmes as Rinoa

and if anyone is interested, i have a strategy guide/walkthrough i wrote in like a half hour while i was bored at work one day. only have to use GFs maybe 2 times throughout the entire game the way i play the game. the way i have it set up, ultimecia only hits for like 400 HP everytime, execpt of course for the final form. that's all.

Quistis is more pretty than Nikole kidman... anyway Josh Hartnett would be good as Seifer!

hmmm good thought... this was definately one of the best games in the series.

Squall or Irvine could be Ewan McGreagor or Brad Pitt... either of those guys would be great... I was thinking Natalie Portman as Riona.. but someone a little more playful... Racheal Leigh Cook maybe... Cate Blanchett would be a great Quistus... but I could also see her as the Sorceress... Sean Austin Scott (is that his name? Stiffler?) would play a great Zell... I've always thought Selphie was the hottest girl in the game so you'd need some little sex pot to play her... Kristen Kruek maybe... or there is a porn star I'm crazy about named Autumn Austin... I would post a picture but... well... y'know...

Seifer could be the guy who plays Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter two... I forget his name but he was also in Event Horizon and the Patriot... this guy is a great villan... he would make a great Artemis Enteri if they ever make a Drizzt film...

Wedge and Biggs make a great comic duo in this movie... find two big money actors willing to do a cameo role... Johnny Deep and Jeff Bridges always wanted to see them together...

Maybe John Malkovich or Jack Nicholson as Laguna... this game was full of possibilites... great story... reminded me of Phantasy Star 3 with some of its themes... and the whole generational thing is great look at Godfather Two

Cid = Robin Williams

Irvine = Johnny Depp:

Zell = Seann Willams Scott:

Rinoa was modeled after actress Matsu Takako, therefore she ideally should be her:

^Looks about right...
I think Drew Barrymoore should get a cameo because of her scene in Charlie's Angels.

jessica alba-selphie
john travolta-laguna
jake gyllenhall-squall
biggs and wedge-ben stiller and owen wilson

the movie would have to be produced by jerry bruckheimer because it has all the ingredients for a jerry bruckheimer movie: ridiculously large budgeted action that is a visual spectacle with dazzling special effects, an underlying love story, unnecessary destruction of damn near everything on screen, the token hero camera pan-(camera starts near ground level, as hero gets up from downed position, camera rotates around hero in slow motion while the hero has this badass look on his face that something bad is going to happen, and not to him, therefore cue the music, which would be a semi-slow rock beat with a phazer type of effect, then come the heavy distorted guitars and bass, a la nine inch nails or something similar)

don't get me wrong, im a sucker for films produced by jerry bruckheimer and i think he would do awesome on a film like this.

YES!

Jake Gyllenhaal as Squall?! What about Viggo Mortensen?(Aragorn from LOTR)

1>Irvine,i don't know he reminds me of him a lot..
2>Zell..Come on guys he's like him!
3>Squall and maybe Seifer too!
4>Edea

That's a rather good Irvine pick, there.

What are all their names though?

1)It's Ashton Kutcher,a hollywood actor
2)Freddie Ljunberg,Arsenal's player
3)Ethan Hawke,hollywood actor too
4)Monica Belluci,actress too
^_^

the reason i say jake gyllenhall for squall is that im trying to think of young actors around the ages of the characters. squall is 17. viggo mortensen would not get by playing a 17 year old. ethan hawke is a good choice though if you're going by looks alone.

I'd say it'd probably be easier to make someone look younger than to completely change their features:)

great picks for those two characters...but who would be Laguna?

Wedge = Jackie Chan
Biggs = Kurt Russell

Quistis = Anna Paquin
Selphie = Lacey Chabert
Irvine = Aston Kutcher
Zell = Jake Gyllenhaal

Cid = Rip Torn
Edea = Famke Jansen

Seifer = Josh Hartnett
Fujin = Drew Barrymoore, Reese Witherspoon, or Heather Graham
Raijin = Jay Laga’aia


Laguna = James Marsden
Kiros = Mos Def?

Give him the right hair, and Orlando Bloom could be a gorgeous Squall....

I can totally see Nicole Kidman playing Quistis.... Zell has GOT to be Stiffler. Come on now guys... They're TWINS! Irvine: with the right hair, makeup and clothes: I can totally see Ryan Reynolds there, not only looks wise and height wise, but he would match Irvine's off beat personality (plus he's super duper mega hot :rolleyes2 )........ Anna Paquin would make an awesome Selphie .... Edea = Angelina Jolie.... Rinoa = ???..... Laguna = Bill Pullman. Kiros = ???...
