Throw in some Tusks, have him play the skinny Ork Street Shaman ... Maybe a very dedicated Toxic? In any case, a definate must-have. |

Hhmm. For Busccemi I could definately see him as a Rat shaman. And I just think Anthony Hopkins would just make either an excellant high ranking corporate guy or fixer. :) |

Eva Mendes (as female Decker or Mechanic/Electronics-Expert, I'd say) Danny Trejo (as bad-to-the-bone Gangleader) Greetings, Nyx |

Not wanting to start a war on the subject, but I'm surprised by how many people on here are extolling the virtues of Johnny Depp! He's always the same character! Weird brooding and dark - which he does well, I'll admit. The only thing I've ever seen him do that's different is Pirates of the Carribean! Obviously, not seen everything that he's ever done, but I'm dubious...
SO can't fault the image, though... |

I was gonna say that! -Ron Perlman as the street samarai. :cyber: -Steve Buscemi has to be the Fixer! -The troll would have to be played by Paul Wight (aka. The Big Show) just for his 7'2" size and his 400+ pounds! -The decker would be well represented by Nicolas Cage. Normally I hate this guy, but I think he'd do this particular role well. -Dunno the guy's name, but anyone that ever watched the show North of 60...the guy who played Peter, the band chief...he'd make a good shaman and represent the native aspect of the game. He has good presence and would do a shaman character justice. (Couldn't find his name on any website...my google-fu is out of practice) -The face would have to be played by...Dirk Benedict! The original "Face" from the A-team. :D The movie should have a megacorporation as the big bad guy. I nominate either Shiawase or Renraku...Shiawase because it was the "first megacorp" and has the whole japanese tradition thing going for it. Renraku because of the Yakuza connection. If I had to choose between the two, it'd be Renraku. Denzel Washington would make a great Mr. Johnson and you'd have to give Keanu Reeves a cameo as a data courier. :cyber: Then have him die! |

Nah, For Mr. Douglas that's exactly what he won an oscar for playing in Wall Street. Mrs. Douglas comes across as that beautiful but cold and ruthless corper. |

Am I wrong in thinking that about 25% of the people being bandied about are a little on the old side for Shadowrunning? And I don't mean in the buddy-cop-movie "I'm getting too old for this" sense, either. I mean, you can't look cool when you're behind a walker, no matter how much 'ware you're packing.
Of course, if we're talking "in their prime" then it's a different story. ;) |

Ever see Clint Eastwood in "Unforgiven?" He was old then, but pour a bottle of Jack Danials down his throat and William Munny becomes "the man with no name" real fast.

TG, maybe cause most of the new crop are crap compared to the previous generation. plus with enough planning even the slightly aged can pull off a perfect run.

Well, you do note that I qualify it by saying "in their prime" is a different story. And some old guys have made physical bounce-backs. Take Sean Connery for one. He looked almost dead a few years ago, but he's looking good again.
Oh, and an actual contribution. Christian Slater as an Elvis Shaman. True Romance. Nuff said. |

About the people being judged as "too old:"
See "John Carpenter's Vampires." James Woods, though an old man, kicks some major ass, half of which he kicks with his attitude alone. Makes him a good choice for a vet street sam, IMO. |

@LotGM: You don't mean Tom Jackson or Grahame Greene do you?
BTW if you like North of 60 Have you checked out Dance me Outside? I'd have to pick the late Charles Bronson for my team circa about DW:3. I mean he takes out a whole freakin' gang by himself! Respect! Anyone who'd have a LAW stashed behind his couch "just in case" would work well in the SR world. |

Well I think Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland and Tommy Lee Jones could make a great "Oldies" Comeback movie.

Yeah, because his characters in Ed Wood, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, and Sleepy Hollow were all exactly the same. Hunter S. Thompson is such a dark and broody character, and so is Ed Wood...bakayaro... BTW, I thought of my choice for shaman finally...Ice T. I can seriously see him following Wolf or Coyote.

What about for Ork and Trolls..... either in a suit or just doing the voice.
Id say for voice actors for orks and trolls: Vin Diesel John Goodman Andy Garcia Ving Rhames Suit actors: John Goodman The Rock Vin Diesel (he has the build and the gravely voice) Ving Rhames |

I dont think anyone named is "too old", not suitable for the joyboy street samurai role maybe... but watch "Bad Company" and see what i was saying about Anthony Hopkins being a team leader/mr corp. |

I would have to go with Abstruse and Subterfuge and pick one person, who has been picked before: Christopher Walken.
I mean, he can even do the decker thing: <cut to run down apartment, rest of team is packing up and leaving - Walken is standing beside his gear, ranting> "Hey, you're NOT leaving me here in this, this, this DIVE again! No, no, you're not, I am not going to break into . . . <door slams>. HEY!! I'm not done HERE! <no one replies - stands there, waiting for a reply that doesn't come, then starts muttering to himself> Ok, fine. Ok. Well. <throws his hands in the air and shrugs> I guess I am staying here then" Ok, ok its bad. Can't seem to write what I want to convey, because I am seeing Walkken's mannerisms, and the dialogue is secondary. For Street Sam, merc or leader, see Dogs of War. For mage or shaman, Prophecy (ok, demented mage or shaman) For face, see SNL's 25th Anniversary (ok, ok, the romance skit *isn't* the best example) But seriously, I think everyone here can imagine Walken in any role, for any character. Or the A-Team. Already got a team there. |

Oh, please. John DeLancie. Hands down. Who else can believeably play a uber-powerful yet humanly-frail and cosmically arrogant character so well? As for trolls... I'm surprised no one's mentioned Michael Clarke Duncan. He's certainly big enough, and he can act. The guy who plays Hagrith could also do a good job, and is a pretty decent actor besides. |
