[Olgerth Heidern]

Ye gods, not Shia LeBeef. Are you kidding? Jack is a genetically engineered asskicker, not a prettyboy. Jason Statham, maybe... although I don't like that guy much. Christian Bale would also do, especially if the Movie Jack went the "harvest" route.

Jet Li as Suchong? Why, because they are both Asian? Li is too much of an "action" guy. Suchong gets beat up by his own patients on whom he tests Enrage. No way. Will Yun Lee maybe (http://www.solitaryphoenix.com/WillYunLee2.jpg)? He's at least got the "brainy Asian dude" look.

Sacha Cohen as Sander? Ok, maybe. His Bruno persona almost fits, and if he turned it up a notch... sure, why not. This guy could be pretty much anyone...

I can agree on J.K. Simmons as Ryan. Could totally see Simmons delivering the "so which one of the *****es sent you, the KGB wolf or the CIA jackal?" speech. Good choice there.

The Rock as Fontlas? No. Dwayne Johnson couldn't, for the life of him, do a believable "evil con man / thug army leader". He just doesn't have the chops for it. Now, if we decided to ditch Fontaine's Irish heritage... why not make him black and have Michael Clarke Duncan play him? He did make a pretty decent Kingpin in the movie that was otherwise full of epic fail (Daredevil). Plus, he's got an awesome voice, which is important since most of the time Fontlas is heard and not seen.

One doesn't need any celebrities for the Big Daddy parts since they are hooded... Just invite a couple pro wrestlers. I would actually throw away Rosies altogether. Despite Rosies' shootiness, the Bouncers had a lot more impact, pardon the pun.

Maybe they could bring back the SloPro in place of the Rosie. :D

[HamstersforFreedom]

Shia Lebeouf is obnoxiously wimpy.

[Status 3ffect]

Sean Connery should be Jack. these pictures ^ cracked me up btw

I think this is just a joke. ;) I wouldn't take it too seriously. Doesn't make much sense anyway o.O

[Olgerth Heidern]

Still, it's an interesting subject to consider.

[BCarotene]

Okay, no Shia.

Ditto, about the pictures being funny.

[NihilKnightX]

Chuck Norris As Jack :]

[FomarThain]

Man, some of you guys nailed'em.

Ones I think are on target: Wilhem Defoe as Steinman = Genius.
Sacha Baron as Cohen = Awesome.
J.K. Simmons as Andrew Ryan = Awesome; though he would really have to work with a voice coach:); Armin's Ryan voice was dead on imo
Shia LeBeef as Jack = A controversial choice no doubt but... this guy keeps on surprising me on the screen. I think he can pull off lots more than he is givin' credit for; he's not the kid in Even Stevens(sp?) anymore:D); though I admit if you know the show it is hard to separate him from it; anyway my point is that I think this guy is going to end up having a long life in Hollywood and can stretch himself into Jack imo.Some not so sure about: Big Daddies. How come casting for those matters as you never see them? Would rather have them as CGI.
Just say no to Joe Kucan for anything:(
Like others have said I think Jet Li wouldn't fit the bill for Suchong.
While I like Keanu Reeves, I think his face is to well known for such an odd movie role. I would rather have a surprise choice or a lesser known actor.
While I can why one would pick Famke Jenssen to be Bridgette Tenenbaum I think she is to attractive for the voice associated with the voice; I know she could have the make-up job to get the look right but I am talking about the voice.My left over personal picks: Bridgette Tenenbaum = Helena Bonham Carter/Kate Winslet
Suchong = B.D. Wong (Asian doctor from Law and Order: SVU)
Atlas = Sean Bean with voice coach to get his voice to a higher pitch
Fontaine = Dennis Farina with black hair and no mustacheDidn't include pics with my picks but they are easily found on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/).

Elle Fanning as a Little Sister

Perfect! :D


Big Daddies. How come casting for those matters as you never see them? Would rather have them as CGI.

Believe it or not, even CGI needs to be choregraphed. In many movies, we think that the CG we see is computer only, but that's false. There are actors and dancers on the set to get things right. You might think it unnecessary for a Big Daddy, but that's not true. Everything needs to be set perfectly otherwise the scene will not be very credible. Choosing an actor for the role is something I could see, even if we don't get to see him. The rest is CG yes, but you need a pattern first, otherwise it just won't work. Of course it's not always the case, but I think it would be best with an actor at its base.

Shia LeBeef as Jack

My beef about it isn't really the actor himself. I've liked his performances so far without any problem.

The reason why I can't grasp him as Jack is simply that he looks too young for the part. It's true that we don't know Jack's age, but with the voice and the hands (working in arts has had me study hands a lot) we see through the game and cut scenes give me the impression that Jack would "look" to be in his late twenties early thirties. Shia LeBoeuf looks to be seventeen, no more no less.

Maybe when he comes to look older, I'd be able to see him as Jack. Otherwise... eee... No. :/

[elistheman]

Sacha Baron as Cohen = Awesome

[Zoidberg]

i say Clive Owen for Jack, I mean, we know he's good at shooting stuff and protecting kids.

[doomgiver]

No. I think Jet Li will make a great Suchong. So piss off if you think otherwise.

[killswitch5]

im definetly thinkin dakota fanning as a little sister



also i say jack bauer as jack

borat as cohen= is genius ( i dont know about the musical part though)

[Tzz]

im definetly thinkin dakota fanning as a little sister

I think Dakota Fanning is already too old for it (around 13-14), her little sister (9) would fit better

[SjoerdH]

Only one actress imho could ever play a little sister: Jodelle Ferland.

She's played a million freaky spooky kids in stuff like Silent Hill, Kingdom Hospital, The Collector, The Messengers, The Supernatural, Smallville and in a few new upcoming movies too.

Her age might be a bit tricky on this though. The more reason to make the movie soon! :D

[SjoerdH]

That plus the fact that the Fannings are of course among the most overrated child-actresses since the Olsen-twins :D

[Newbiezilla]

SjoerdH, have you ever seen Taken? Dakota Fanning is perfect in that role. I've not seen her in anything else, but on the basis of that alone, I really think "overrated" is, well, wrong.

Just checked her out at IMDb. She really seems perfect for that.
Age should be ok, you can always try make her look younger:cool:

[Tzz]

btw, I think we should have somebody who is not famous in the role of Jack

[5_day_forecast]

here goes:

SPOILURZ DAMMIT!

Andrew Ryan: Ian McShane. Nailed it!
Fontaine: Daniel Day Lewis. Period. You KNOW this can't be any better.
Sander Cohen: Robert Downey Jr. makes a good madman. I'd also vote (think about it) Robin Williams... in ZERO comedy mode. He could be scary as **** in this part.
Steinman: Vincent D'Onofrio. Sweeeet. Or Gary Oldman. Choose your flavor of loco.
Tenenbaum: Cate Blanchette. Beanpole, remember?
Suchong: Michael Paul Chan. Look it up, you know who he is and he's perfect.
Julie Langford: Helen Mirren. Something tells me she's older.
Diane McClintock: Judy Greer. Going for the wide-eyed gullable type.
Jack - Jake Gyllenhall.

[timdubs]

Great choices, I'm surprised nobody put them up yet. Good choice for Suchong, I didn't picture him to be as young as Jet Li

[Bioshock_FTW!]

Jack = Johnny Depp
Atlas/Fontaine = John Malkovich
Dr. Steinman = Willam Dafoe
Sander Cohen = Robin Williams
Tenenbaum = Femke Jenssen
Little sisters = Dakota + Ella Fanning
Big daddies = John Rhys-Davies

can't think of one for Ryan...

[Shoggot]

Never thought about Jake Gylehall as Jack...but more I'm thinking about it, more I like it!

[mr. (would you) kindly]

Okay, no Shia.

[Vote4Drizzt]

Maybe Mark Walberg from Shooter could be Jack?
I think that Jennifer Garner would be Ok as Tennenbaum, about the only one she could do.
For Atlas, I like the Sean Penn idea.
Fontaine, I would do Tommy Lee Jones.
Ryan, Not sure.... Maybe Ewan McGregor...or not:o
Peach Wilkins, could be the Loon from Spykids 2(I don't know his name)
Mega Fontaine could be, Matthew Mcconaughey?

:rolleyes: lol?

[5_day_forecast]

I had other ideas for Ryan. Ron Perlman, Rutger Hauer, Nick Nolte... even Robert Downey Jr. except I see Ryan in his late 50's. Ian McShane wins out easy though... especially if you've seen Deadwood. Part of me really would like to see R. Lee Ermey's take on Ryan's death scene, however (OBEY!!!)

Most everyone in rapture sounds like they've been sought out following numerous years of experience. Which is why most of my choices were at least middle-aged. Tenenbaum sounds like the youngest of the bunch, but even then the timeline would put her in her 30's at least.

With that said, I knew the youngest would have to be Jack. Think about Rapture being built in 1946, and the game occurring in 1960. That makes Jack 16? Except for Suchong's talk about accellerating the growth process of children... regardless, I figured early 20's for Jack at best. Jake Gyllenhaal works great as he's actually a pretty big dude that I could believe swinging the wrench. Ben Foster's a close second. Bit smaller. Way scarier.

[Status 3ffect]

**** i didnt see that someone had already suggested markie mark. well yeah,he'd be good for the role.

[Pissing In Action]

I think the only two actors woh could play Jack and Cohen really well would be


http://www.cineastentreff.de/teleschau/200538/2/200538_158561_1_012.jpg

John Cusack

and

http://www.cojeco.cz/attach/image/max/64/4d4c/644d4cca8e1def0dd32e91bbd3d1c3ef.jpg

Kevin Spacey, respectively.
Cusack is a master of plot-twisting stories and Spacey... no comment, he's just incredible.
But I think any annoying brat could play a Little Sister. ;)

[Jdombrowski89]

I would pick the following, enjoy:

http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/5822/sandercohenqb1.th.jpg (http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sandercohenqb1.jpg)

http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/4361/andrewryanzp6.th.jpg (http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=andrewryanzp6.jpg)

B.D Wong as Suchong

[Jdombrowski89]

and of course I'd also pick

Dakota Fanning as a little sister
Kane Hodder, Dwayne Johnson, Tyler Mane, Michael Clarke Duncan as Big Daddies.

And also an alternate to Andrew Ryan

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9718/andrewryan2fd8.th.jpg (http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=andrewryan2fd8.jpg)

Tim Robbins as Andrew Ryan

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9545/andrewryan3vw5.th.jpg (http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=andrewryan3vw5.jpg)

Orson Welles as Andrew Ryan (If Still Alive)

[Mongchimp]

As I said before in a different thread, my picks would be something like


Jack: Christian Bale (was great in Batman begins and Equilibrium)
Ryan: Patrick Stewart (mainly for the voice)
Fontaine: Christopher Walken (Can do insane without being absurd unlike for example Gary Busey)
Atlas: Sean Pertwee (seems like an amiable bloke so would fit as friendly Atlas)
Tenenbaum: Sigourney Weaver (Strong but human)
Cohen: Johnny Depp could pull it off I suppose but I am not entirely sure about this one. Perhaps David Tennant would be better. Yes maybe.

[Newbiezilla]

Honestly, i'd think Walken better suited to the role of Cohen.

[Olgerth Heidern]

Gotta say, Dafoe would be a great Steinmann.

[Jdombrowski89]

I'd still say that John Waters would make a phenominal Cohen. see the page before this for an image.

[Newbiezilla]

He looks like he could almost pull of Ryan too, but perhaps Anthony Hopkins would be better suited to that role.

[GrimmRiffer]

Honestly, i'd think Walken better suited to the role of Cohen.
Walken actually did lots of dance training as a kid, could come in handy..?

[Newbiezilla]

Indeed, didn't know that. I was judging based on stage presence. Walken has got something. Its crazy, and would fit the Cohen role admirably IMO.

[Andru_Rian]

Whatever happens, Uwe Boll better be cast as the director!

ohhh snap

you have my vote..those are two amazing actors and seeing Cusack all spliced up would be awesome

[SliderFury]

Gotta say, Dafoe would be a great Steinmann.

I think the only problem with that is he would crush (a.k.a. outshine) everyone else in the movie, and the only problem with that is he'd be so early in it, and have to get waxed pretty quick (unless they somehow expanded his role). I'd be like "Yeah, Willem! Show 'em how to do a crazy man properly!" and then "Awww, Willem..." as he floats past the med station that just poisoned him to death lol

Cusack FTW, I think he would make an excellent Jack. Kevin Spacey I don't know. Kevin's too bad ass, to smooth, Cohen needs a flamboyance, and more than a touch of insanity that I think Kevin could do (cause he is a very excellent actor) but might seem odd in the role. I'm actually thinking Steve Buscemi believe it nor not. He's voice it totally wrong, but I think that's the kind of style and presence Sander would need. Depending on how well Heath Ledger does with the Joker in the new Batman, he might make a decent candidate as well.

Steve was in my mind too, one of my all-time favorites, but his voice detracted me from Cohen as well, you're right.
Maybe a voice-over... ;)

[BioShock Freak]

Shia Lebeouf as Jack


Famke Jenssen as Bridgette Tenenbaum


J.K. Simmons as Andrew Ryan


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Fontlas and Fontlas in ADAM mode

WOW!!! The Rock looks JUST like Fontaine!!!!!!!!!!! He'd be GREAT for it! J.K. Simmons would be great too. Shia Lebeouf I really like and I think he'd be great for it. :D Tenenbaum, not so much.

I think Lili Taylor would be great for the Tenenbaum role. These are a few pix of her in The Notorious Bettie Page movie. I saw her and thought, WOW she looks just like her. IMO.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw him. lol.

As someone else said Defoe's role would need to be bigger, as he only has a slither of screen time in the game.

Jack

agree with Mari's choice for Tenenbaum, i think she looks alot like her :)

As for possibilities for the others im not sure

[coffee009]

Michael Clarke Duncan and Robbie Coltrane as Big Daddies perfect they make gooood BDs

[V1olentNinja24]

[BioShock Freak]

http://www.realfightermag.com/images/kurt_angle.gif

[Jdombrowski89]

Here's My List
Jack- T.R Knight or Mark Wahlberg
Andrew Ryan- Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Sam Shepard or Liam Neeson
Bridgette Tenenbaum- Cate Blanchett
Fonlas- Gary Sinise or Kiefer Sutherland or John Malkovich
Bill McDonagh- J.K Simmons
Doctor J.S. Steinman- Willem Dafoe
Dr. Suchong- B.D Wong
Hector Rodriguez- Cillian Murphy
Martin Finnegan- Ron Pearlman
Peach Wilkins- Harry Dean Stanton
Sander Cohen- John Waters or Gary Oldman
Sullivan- Bob Gunton

[GreeseDog101]

i dont know if anybody has said this but i have a couple times before on different threads.

Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack, i think that he could fit in perfectly

http://images.allposters.com/images/54/039_31743.jpg

I can just picture him as Jack with like the bage sweatshirt and the tatoos on his wrists, i dont know about you guys but i think he would make a perfect jack.

[Jdombrowski89]

I'd be against Leo, too much of a heartthrob and hes an overrated actor.

[WrenchMaster]

He's not overrated. He just doesn't fit it.

My top choices for Jack would be either Matt Damon, or some new guy who looks liks Jack.

[BioShock Freak]

SjoerdH, have you ever seen Taken? Dakota Fanning is perfect in that role. I've not seen her in anything else, but on the basis of that alone, I really think "overrated" is, well, wrong.

Yeah, she was just, PERFECT in Taken. :D

I'd say Kevin Spacey would be great as Cohen and Michael Paul Chan for Suchong. Lili Taylor as Tenenbaum.
As for Fontaine, Dominic Purcell.
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b12/mary_princess/DominicPurcell.jpg
Jack, I don't know yet.
~Mari.

[GreeseDog101]

i dont see how you guys can't see leo as jack, i think he would fit perfectly but he would have to grow his hair out long like the picture that i had. As for dominic purcell as fontaine...maybe, i can somewhat see that, but i can also somewhat see him as jack too. And does anybody know whos directing it yet? i can't think of any good choices at the moment but how about everybody shares their choice for directer.

[WrenchMaster]

Jack's hair isn't very long...and Leo is way too thin to be Jack.

[Shijimmy]

I don't know... To add two new names:
Maybe Annette Bening as Tenenbaum?
*Click* (http://www.annette-bening.com/annetteb.jpg)
Christian Bale as Jack?

[GreeseDog101]

Jack's hair isn't very long...and Leo is way too thin to be Jack.

How do you know if his hair is long or not??? It never shows his hair, and Ryan's hair is somewhat long but just jelled back.

I don't know... To add two new names:
Maybe Annette Bening as Tenenbaum?
*Click* (http://www.annette-bening.com/annetteb.jpg)
Christian Bale as Jack?

I can see Christian Bale as Jack and i would like to also :D . And Annette Bening could make a pretty good Tenenbaum as well.

[Rare Addict]

Fontaine- Daniel Day-Lewis

You know, when I first saw him I thought he was PERFECT for Jack. But then I saw more of his pics and reminded me more and more of Fontaine. He looks like Jack in this picture:

he does look a lot like jack here, i can really see that now :D , maybe more or less with a little shorter hair but still he looks like jack.

[The Console King]

I think that they should have unknown actors as the majority of the cast because then you don't see Andrew Ryan as "That guy from (insert movie here)" and it adds to the experience of bioshock.

~Mari.
That is crazy!!! Totally looks like Jack right there.

But as someone said up above, the guy on the 24 Jack Bauer, for some reason in my mind would make a good jack.

But i also like the point someone else made about using a lesser known actor as Jack, that way there is very little that people can attach to him in a means of expectations, or how the character needs to act.

But Mari, again, that picture hits it on the nose for me for some reason.

[BioShock Freak]

Lol, yeah. :D Compare the two:

[Hector Rodriguez]

I can definitely see John Waters as Sander Cohen. They're both creepy artists with twisted minds, as well as their similar looks. That moustache...

[AngelGraves13]

We gotta get Clancy Brown in here somehow! He was great in Carnivale as Brother Justin Crowe.

Clancy Brown as Brother Justin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPNF52RKpWQ)

Toby Huss would make an excellent Splicer and he's good with voices too!

I don't know who that is, but I doubt that's Jack. Plus, the security images look like the main one of him.
~Mari.

[tommy-trance]

MATT DAMON as 'JACK', main character. I know he's common in action films etc, but i reckon that he is almost perfect for this role!

Nicole kidman could do the Tenenbaum role, but im not a 100% sure of this choice. Maybe Gwyneth Paltrow with curly brown hair.

Also Ray Winstone or Jason Statham could do the role as Fontain.

Angus MacFadyen suits Andrew Ryan when seen in the brief picture of him sitting at his desk in the introduction film (on the way down to rapture). However, when you see the actual character, he looks alot different.

Tom

[BlacquePhalcon]

will Jack still have the tatoos on his wrists?

[BlacquePhalcon]

how close is the movie going to be? I hope they dont cut out any characters like Steinman. You know how much gets changed in effort to "save" time while they make new parts, I hope they dont cut out posiden plaza

[The Console King]

My guess is that yes Jack would still have his tattoos but really I don't think they will make a bioshock movie, only a prequel/sequel of bioshock because if you did just the game, no one would want to watch it bcause they have already seen it by playing the game.

Its tough to make a video game movie because you have to come up with a plot that doesn't stray too far from the game but still make it new.

[Shlimmy]

lol i love william Dafoe as Dr. Steinman, and sorry if youve heard it said a million times but, i heard its being produced by the guy who made the pirates of the carribean movies... i cant wait for it to come out. Im only worried that the movie will be dissapointing

I hope they dont cut out posiden plaza
totally.... there are so many cool places in Bioshock i really want to see in the movie, (Fort frolic and Arcadia the most)

[Cohen's Puppet]

After 4 hours of deliberating, I came up with my own list. Here are my qualifications and the actors who I think could fulfill them:
(SORRY IT'S IMAGE-HEAVY)

ANDREW RYAN
Someone who's old and looks like a father figure.
Someone who's all about seriousness.
Someone who's ambiguous.
Someone who looks like a gang leader, or an antagonist.
Someone who can play as a a nation's leader, or as a 1920's social elite.

My choice:
http://www1.odn.ne.jp/~aurora/kevin-spacey3.jpg
Kevin Spacey

Runners-up:
J.K. Simmons (http://www.cigarsinmovies.com/images/screencaps/jk-simmons-spiderman2.gif) - I've never seen him as a serious character, but I can vouch that he'll be able to portray Andrew Ryan. He looks well enough like him. He has a deep voice which adds more flavor to his portrayal.

Alan Rickman (http://www.hbo.com/films/stlm/img/castandcrew/506x316_alan.jpg) - He can surely portray a badass in Die Hard and Quigley Down Under. He portrays Snape in Harry Potter, an ambiguous but in the end actually a kind-hearted man. Plus, he has a great deep voice, which makes it easy for me to imagine him saying, "A man chooses, a slave obeys!" He seems too stuck up to portray an American dude, though. Andrew Ryan comes from the common masses.

John Malkovich (http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n126/SyntheticSymbolism/john.jpg) - He's certainly portrayed a lot of badass characters. Looks ambiguous enough for Andrew Ryan. Plus, he has slavic heritage. From what I've read, Andrew Ryan was originally Russian, wasn't he?

ATLAS/FONTAINE
Someone who can portray both a gentleman and a ruthless gangster.
Someone preferably young and who could look like a radical.
Someone who can produce an authentic Scottish and New York accent...and look good at it!

My choice:
http://www.facade.com/celebrity/photo/Liam_Neeson.jpg
Liam Neeson - He's portrayed both good (Schindler in Schindler's List) and bad men (a Nazi officer in Shining Through). Plus, he's a natural-born Irish, so the accent comes naturally! The only thing that doesn't fit the picture is his age--he's quite old to be portraying Atlas.

Runners-up:
http://media.movieweb.com/news/04.2007/edNortonTheHulk.jpg
Edward Norton - Ed was actually my first choice for Atlas/Fontaine. His facial hair, especially on this picture, makes him look more gangly. The only thing that sets him apart from Neeson is the accent--I haven't seen him do another accent before so I don't know what'll happen when he does. I don't think that would be a problem though since he's a great actor.

P.S. - I think he could also portray Jack Ryan!

Robert Downey, Jr. (http://frillr.com/files/images/Esquire%20March%202007.jpg) - Anybody who's seen him in Iron Man can say that he looks badass while saving the world. Perfect for a cruel mob leader pretending to be a good-hearted citizen. He has a carefree voice which somehow matches that of Atlas'.

*****

SANDER COHEN
Someone who can portray a psychotic person--like a maestro gone mad.
Someone who's in the mid-ages, but not too old.
Someone who can portray an "flamboyant old fruit", if you know what I mean.
Salvador Dali look-alike preferably.

My choice:
http://www.gamesetwatch.com/sandercohen1.jpg
Can you find any celeb that looks like this? He'd be perfect for Cohen!

No one. :[ I ... just haven't found one yet. No actor comes up in my mind who can best portray our beloved Cohen. The ones on my runner-up just don't look enough like Cohen. Or maybe I haven't been searching enough. If anyone can suggest more celebs (particularly ones that portrayed psychotic/maestro roles) that would be great.

Runners-up:
Geoffrey Rush (http://www.yuddy.com/articleimages/geoffrey%20rushMTM1.jpg) - Well, he could be effeminate enough--you should've seen him in The Banger Sisters. Was originally my #1 choice for Cohen but I think there might be someone else out there who can fill his

Christopher Walken (http://upload.moldova.org/movie/actors/c/christopher_walken/thumbnails/tn2_christopher_walken_3.jpg) - He's perfect for a psychotic character and all, but he's quite too old and too manly to be playing Cohen.

It's 5 AM and I'm going to sleep now. I'll add more characters sooner or later.

[The Console King]

Really good list there!! and nope no Cohen like actors come to mind. I guess you have to get someone kinda unknown for him for the best image of Cohen too.

[BucketBot]

He seems too stuck up to portray an American dude, though. Andrew Ryan comes from the common masses.


I thought Ryan was Russian...

[DrSteinman]

Just throwing in my opinions. Some great cast choices here.

Jack
http://www.workingtitlefilms.com/photos/news/176/JMA-350.jpg
James McAvoy has both the everyman quality and the acting chops.

Andrew Ryan
http://allday.ru/uploads/posts/1202159909_gary_oldman_13_314.jpg
He is the master of different voices, Tim Roth being just second. I think he'd be a perfect Andrew Ryan.

Dr Bridgette Tenebaum
http://marieclaire.co.uk/imageBank/r/Rachel-Weisz-1.jpg
I am in love with Rachel Weisz. I would break every bone in my body and crawl towards her on my tongue just to spend one night with her. And she'd be perfect for Tenebaum, she herself holds a mastery of accents and shows incredible range.

Atlas/Fontaine
http://www.britfilms.tv/images/news/perlman.jpg
I wanted to cast Ron Perlman for Jack, but the poor guy is showing his age a bit too much. So I cast him as Fraaaaaaaank Fontaaaaaaaine.

Dr JS Steinman
Michael C Hall, one of the greatest actors of our generation. He can be charming, handsome, calm, friendly, sinister, insane, overwhelmed, tempermental...everything Steinman is.

Sander Cohen
I agree that Kevin would make an excellent Andrew Ryan, but I also think he looks enough like Sander, and can be flamboyant enough.

Peach Wilkins
Tom Wilkinson is bloody brilliant, matching Peach's face, shape and able to imitate his voice.

Steve Buscemi kinda looks like sander cohen; he has some of the same facial features.

http://www.scifi.com/johndoe/gallery/images/lrg/season1/pic_08.jpg

~Mari.

That is really good...I agree that before I could never see him as Jack, but that picture just seems all too convincing. It really is a shame Vincent Price is dead...it would almost seem as though Andrew Ryan was designed to look like him.

http://scifipedia.scifi.com/images/c/c4/Vincent_Price.jpg

[Atlas the Fisherman]

haha maybe we could get Bernard Kerik to play Fontaine...

http://images.wikia.com/bioshock/images//f/f8/Fontaine_icon.jpg
http://www.politicalfriendster.com/images/1507.jpg

Although in all seriousness, I do agree with BCarotene, that Joe Kucan would make a GREAT Fontaine. As for Atlas, I think that if the film does not show him, and just has him as the disembodied voice over the radio (although it seems unlikely - especially if the film shows pre-jack Rapture) then there is no reason they shouldn't just cast his voice actor.

[BioShock Freak]

Good choices there though. :)

[gbpackers25]

maybe the people who did the voices for the game (besides jack) should be the people who play them in the movie

[GloriaWainwright]

Dr Bridgette Tenebaum
http://marieclaire.co.uk/imageBank/r/Rachel-Weisz-1.jpg
I am in love with Rachel Weisz. I would break every bone in my body and crawl towards her on my tongue just to spend one night with her. And she'd be perfect for Tenebaum, she herself holds a mastery of accents and shows incredible range.


My first thought was, 'no way; she's entirely too young'. I always imagined Tenenbaum as being an older woman, and, frankly, not as sexy.
But, of course, this is going to be a big movie, so I guess it is allowed the obligatory eye-candy.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

I've heard several people (even a website) say that they like the idea of Colin Farrell as Atlas. Aside from his accent, I don't really know how I feel about it. I think Farrel is too much of a "pretty boy" for the role of Atlas...nothing against the guy, I think he's a talented actor, but he just doesn't seem like someone I would image as the character...but hey! who knows, actors could surprise you. I NEVER in a million years would of imaged Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Any thoughts? I always thought Atlas looked like a young Clooney.

Yeah, that's true. Although, I see Colin Farell more as Jack. I'm almost sure they'll make Jack look like the good-looking guy that saves the day.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

I always thought that Charles Durning would make a great Peach Wilkins. I have heard some people say that they thought Daniel Day-Lewis sounded like Peachy in "There Will Be Blood". I can sorta seem the resemblance. Especially in the milkshake line, ha. Something about Durning though, I just always thought he'd be good for the role.

[Riku]

Could Anyone see Steve Buscemi as Stienman or .....a Splicer or something srsly His eyes jsut give him that "I'm gonna rape you" look ya know?

[Spliced Big Daddy]

i can see a big fat guy as a big daddy, such as the due from the harry potter movies

[BioShock Freak]

LOL. Yeah, that's true. :D
That guy is a REAL nut. LOL. Gotta love him though, he's hilarious.
I see him more of a Splicer though. But he could be Steinman too.
~Mari.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

I agree with the person who said he has similar facial features to Sander Cohen's picture on the shortwave.

[Electric Sheep]

RE: topic starter's call on Shia LeBeouf as Jack


I could actually see that... personally, I'm still struggling with the idea of a Bioshock film but the kid has chops. Should it come to a vote, mine's going that way.

[Electric Sheep]

RE: Rachel Weiz as Tennebaum

Yeah, I also pictured Tennebaum as being an old woman but I'm just now realizing that logically, Tennenbaum couldn't be much older than Miss Weiz would be able to play her.

[B10SH0CK1123]

:D I love the idea of Borat as Sander Choen XD That would be halarious! Id love to see a Bioshock movie about as much as I want to see him in it. :D (Which is alot by the way.) I also think that you thought of a good match for Andrew Ryan.

[Sabrroso]

I Matt Damon as Jack

J.k Simmons as Andrew Ryan would be a good choice

William Dafoe as Dr Steinman Mabey but a stretch

I dont really know about Sandra Coan hard to remeber what he looked liked but he would have to be sort of dark to make a good sandra coan.

:D Joe Kucan as Atlas i agree

:confused: Anyone got ideas for Peach Winkler?

[WrenchMaster]

:D I love the idea of Borat as Sander Choen XD That would be halarious!

Not really. He'd be portraying Cohen, not Borat. Sasha is a great actor.

I don't know what some of you people are aiming for...casting a movie of a game, I would aim for people who both fit the role and look like the characters. I mean, Gary Oldman as Ryan and Perlman as Jack? WTF?

PS, James A. would be great for Jack.

[GreeseDog101]

im still thinking leonardo decaprio as jack, i don't know why but i can just see it

[Atlas the Fisherman]

I think that they should have unknown actors as the majority of the cast because then you don't see Andrew Ryan as "That guy from (insert movie here)" and it adds to the experience of bioshock.

I can sorta see where you're coming from with this. It reminds me of the man, Jamie Clay, who is rumored to be playing John Galt in "Atlas Shrugged". Supposedly he has done a lot of work with films, as far as special effects and such. But this would be his first real acting role. Which in a way is good because for such a mysterious character - an unknown actor adds well to the role.

In a way, I think Bioshock could do very well with the same. It's like many people have already said on here, the biggest fear is that Hollywood will try to make it a title with all big stars and dress it up unnecessarily. It was like someone had said earlier about how about they will try to have some eye-candy...making Jack some dashing Hollywood playboy actor, or having Tenenbaum be a sexy young actress. It all just worries me - casting is so key. Hopefully Mr. Levine will be working on this film...he can help do it the justice it so very well deserves. :D

[drillintheface]

ANDREW RYAN!!!!

Sir Anthony Hopkins

http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r288/tyanth/Anthony_Hopkins.jpg

[Dr. Wallace Breen]

Has anyone thought of Armin Shimerman playing Andrew Ryan? I mean, he has the voice :D

[dirge1313]

Here's my picks:
Jack - Edward Burns or James Marsden
Andrew Ryan - David Strathairn or Terry O'Quinn
Atlas/Fontaine - Ron Perlman (thinking about his size, like in Hellboy, for Fontaine jacked up on ADAM) or Michael Madsen (although I think he's too old, now)
Tenenbaum - Cate Blanchett or Rachel Weisz
Suchong - Cary Tagawa or Michael Paul Chan
Sander Cohen - Robin Williams or Jim Carrey (tone down the silliness from both, but let them be flambouyant and animated)
Dr. Steinman - Willem DaFoe or Steve Buscemi
Julie Langford - Emma Thompson
"Peach" Wilkins - Tracey Walter

[Endiku]

In one of her tapes, Tennenbaum says something like "only sixteen years old I arrived in the concentration camp". I think that the diary can be found in the Medical Pavillion, as I found it yesterday during a playthrough. Even though more than a million Jews (whice I presume she is, even though other groups were exterminated too) were killed before 1942 it was not until then the Concentration Camps were built. This would mean that she was born somewhere between 1926 - 1929, making her at her 31 - 34 in 1960. So she isn't an old lady by any standards. According to another tape, which I probably could find but can't place at the moment, Suchong says something like "I pity the litte *****, she could be very beautiful, but she doesn't care one bit about her looks". Of course that wasn't exactly what he or she said, but you get the point. On the other hand, they used the Lady splicer model when they portrayed her in the game, making her appear far older. Listening to her voice and looking at her radio portrait should be better.
For Steinman and/or Cohen I would like to see Andy Serkiss. He has probably had one of the most famous casts, but the least recognition of all actors throughout history, Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. Probably because you never got to see his face. So by the little I've seen of him, he looks rather like Cohen, or could at least be made to... By seeing Steinman! :-)
On Jack I would probably place a somewhat young actor, he is after all only a couple of years old, although speed-grown by ADAM. He is also often refeered to as "child", and the few pictures and films of him (If they are of him) like the ones in Ryan's "would-you-kindly-room" and in the Bioshock trailer shows him with that strange jumper which at least I connect with young people.
I don't have any good suggestions for Fontaine or Ryan though. Sorry for being lazy too, I'll try to get right citations from Suchong and Tennenbaum tomorrow.

EDIT: I was at German prison camp only of sixteen years old when I realize I have love for science. German doctor, he make experiment. Sometime, he make scientific error. I tell him of this error, and this make him angry. But then he asks, 'how can a child know such a thing?' I tell him, 'Sometimes, I just know.' He screams at me, 'Then why tell me?Well,' I said, 'if you're going to do such things, at least you should do them properly.' Tenenbaum in the Medical Pavilion Foyer.

That's quite a little monster Fontaine's dug up. When she does speak, which is almost never, her accent is thick and grating. Her hair is filthy and she seems to wear the same mustard-stained jumper day after day. But I've got to hand it to Frank: Tenenbaum is the all-time diamond in the rough. No formal training, no experience... but put her in front of a gene sequence, and she's Mozart at the harpsichord. Suchong in the Olympus Heights bistro square.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

Atlas/Fontaine - Ron Perlman (thinking about his size, like in Hellboy, for Fontaine jacked up on ADAM) or Michael Madsen (although I think he's too old, now)

Hmmmm...if they chose to have an actual person play Fontaine when he's jacked up on ADAM, Perlman is of course, the ideal pick! However, a part of me hopes he would be CGI.

[mummyjohn]

I for one would like to see (if possible, and even then maybe only for some scenes) actors in suits as the Big Daddies. Think about how much more believable the Incredible Hulk was with Lou Ferrigno vs. the CGI versions.

Furthermore, in response to some of the previous banter about a young sexy Tenenbaum, I think she should be, and I agree with the Rachel Weisz choice. Just so long as they don't overdo it with some goofy choice like Jessica Alba, etc...

And as if enough people haven't said it already, I guess I just add onto the inertia of this one: Willem Dafoe for Dr. Steinman FTW. :D

[Afoxtrotn00b]

All I know, is that they better give Dr.Steinman a bigger part in the movie than in the game. Afterall, he's a HUGE representation of the people of rapture whom succumbed to madness.

[Obelysque]

Dave Chappelle as Andrew Ryan

[Venom Wolf]

If they do a flashback of Fontaine when he first arrives in Rapture, maybe they could get that guy who plays Lex Luthor in Smallville.

[Darksider13]

Alright, I know LOTS of people won't agree with this, but I have some picks...


(No pics found sorry)

Ian McDiarmid as Andrew. (With black dyed hair/stache)

*In the "Star Wars: A Musical Journey" DVD included with the Episode III soundtrack at target, he is doing the intros of each song and he looks almost EXACTLY like Ryan but with white hair and some wrinkles*

Tennebaum could be Nicole Kidman

Johnny Depp for Jack(For relations with the writer and boost of popularity for the movie)

Cillian Murphy for Dr. Steinman

Angelina Jolie as Dr. Langford

Greg Baldwin as (Well duh!)

*He looks like fontaine and talks like fontaine, why can't he be fontaine and sub out the ADAM Fontaine with CGI? Been done before*

Elle fanning for sisters

Sander Cohen has to be played by Sasha

[IamAtlas]

ok, my here are my choices

Jack would be:Joshua Jackson

Andrew Ryan:JK Simmons

Sander Cohen:BORAT!

Atlas: Dominic Monaghan (shape the hair) Hugh Laurie (house form grow the hair a bit and blond it)

Fontaine:Joe Kucan

Silas Cobb:Josh Holloway (cut the hair a bit! voice is really similar)

Peach Wilkins:Robert Knepper?

Martin Finnigan:William Fichtner(calm voice)

Hector Rodriguez:I cant find anything that looks like him:confused:

J.S Steinman:idk:confused:

Tenebaum:idk:confused:

[FtRapture]

Hate to sound like a broken record but Clive Owen should be Jack

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b217/kjdaniel/clive-1.jpg
I mean come on..

[Spliced Big Daddy]

hes to old i think but they do really look alike

[Faded-Myth]

Geffory Rush would HAVE to be in there somewhere. He did a pretty good Vincent Price in House on Haunted Hill so I think he'd make a damn neat Andrew Ryan. He's also one of those really fine actors who has a lot of talent, and yet he's not above goofy or playful roles in movies you'd not expect a higher class actor. He's capable of being serious in an offbeat movie, while having fun with it. I think he'd be pretty respectful in Bioshock.

[Venom Wolf]

Darksider13 is right; the voice actor for Fontaine just needs to shave his head and he'd be good to go!

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNjk5NjcxODkzMl5BMl5BanBnXkFyZXN1bWU@._V1._SX10 0_SY66_.jpg

This is the only picture I could find of Greg Baldwin. I always have trouble trying to get pictures of voice actors, I guess they don't want to break the illusion.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

Peach Wilkins:Robert Knepper?




hmmm....I never thought about that. The only role I could ever imagine him playing is Dimitri Rascalov in a GTAIV movie :o

[Evil ED]

Keeley Hawes as Bridgette Tenenbaum?
http://i34.tinypic.com/xeqt7c.jpg
She resembles her.

[Lord Weller]

People, let Karl Hanover play himself as Atlas. :) What for to look for another? :D
http://www.helenheart.com/bioshock/images/karl_hanover1.jpg

[Rosebud's stud]

after starting to watch FOX's new show Fringe, the crazy scientist with his mutated experiments reminds me a bit of steinman.
So i suggest John Noble as Steinman.
Whatta ya think?
too old?:confused:

i like Clive Owen for Jack, although he is a bit too old..

and, randomly, Naomi Watts as Diane Mcclintock?

[BioShock Freak]

Keeley Hawes as Bridgette Tenenbaum?

Vincent Price! He is perhaps the best role for Andrew Ryan.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb197/Tawny_waz_here01/Vincent_Price.jpg

I think whether we like it or not, Vincent Price(yay :D ) is going to be Andrew Ryan in the bioshock movie.

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn114/y09urt/A-Man-Chooses.gif


Now...if only Salvador Dali was alive...he could have been a good Sander Cohen.

Vincent Price! He is perhaps the best role for Andrew Ryan.

I agree... If only he was still alive he'd be perfect for the role


Fools! XD
Now...if only Salvador Dali was alive...he could have been a good Sander Cohen.

I also agree with this, Im sure he'd have made a good Cohen (probably as crazy as him too lol :p )

Oh, very nice suggestions Mr. Tiddlywinks. I cant wait to see the movie!

Ah I can see Waters making a good Cohen. Those are good suggestions Mr. Tiddlywinks

Can't wait to see the movie next year =D

[Bioshocking123]

It's next year?!?!? Really?!!!? :confused:

[Atlas.]

It's next year?!?!? Really?!!!? :confused:
As far as im aware its 2009. Maybe Im wrong though, said that without really thinking.. could be 2010. Im pretty sure its ment to be coming out around the time Bioshock 2 is (i hope anyway)

[Telekinetic Puppeteer]

Wow, Mr. Tiddlywinks [such a cool and cute name.. XDDD;;], spot on!

And Atlas.. Next year? :confused:

[MetropolitanParadise]

Its supposed to come out in 2010, said to coincide with the 3rd game(I highly doubt that source) but 2010 is the confirmed date on the advertisement poster and on the universal studios page.

[Atlas.]

My mistake, is 2010.. dont know why i said next year. Sorry for the confusion i just caused


I'll try that again - Cant wait to see the movie in two years

;)

[MetropolitanParadise]

Its no sweat, Atlas :) :)

[BioShock Freak]

If only Orson Welles circa Citizen Kane was with us, he would be the ultimate Andrew Ryan.

*IMAGE*

He looks more like Sullivan to me.

Gary Oldman would make a good Steinman.

I got confused too when you said next year. Had to go check. Lol. Bioshock 2 comes out next year, that I can't wait for. :D

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

David Draiman as Fontaine :D

http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/d/Disturbed/dave_draiman_030419_281x211.jpg
I'm not sure........

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

My first thought was, 'no way; she's entirely too young'. I always imagined Tenenbaum as being an older woman, and, frankly, not as sexy.
But, of course, this is going to be a big movie, so I guess it is allowed the obligatory eye-candy.
Actually, Tenenbaum was like 31, and also, if you look at the picture on the audio diary, she's pretty hot.......

[Rosebud's stud]

Got a new suggestion for tenenbaum..
http://images.fandango.com/r79.9.1/ImageRenderer/250/375/nox.jpg/p241678/images/masterrepository/performer%20images/p241678/verafarmiga-openwater.jpg
Vera Farmiga

What do you guys think :confused:

[Genetically-Enhanced]

Could Anyone see Steve Buscemi as Stienman or .....a Splicer or something srsly His eyes jsut give him that "I'm gonna rape you" look ya know?

A splicer yes. His eyes are big like the splicer because they are always sticking out of their head.

Also I think that they are going to have CGI big daddy. Would make more sense as I thing a Real Mr. Bubbles would just un-realistic and crappy. Even with Hollywood's costumes.


Gary Cooper (+ moustache) as Andrew Ryan (I wasn't sure about this one, any feedback?)


I can see him doing it. He has that perfect sitting stance you see when you first get into the bathysphere and you see that video saying "From the desk of Andrew Ryan"

[BioShock Freak]

I think he would be good as Peachy, since he's a bit older now. But he'd make a good splicer too. He sorta looks like one and he's a nut. Lol. I like him though. :p

~Mari.

[Atlas the Fisherman]

Ian Bannen would actually make a good Peach!

Never thought of Keeley Hawes as Tenenbaum...interesting choice...


Alex Trebek as Dr. Steinman...? :p

Has Daniel Day Lewis already been mentioned as Andrew Ryan? I think Lewis has a way of coming off as powerful and intellectual. If you've seen "There Will Be Blood" you'll know what i mean

[BioShock Freak]

LOL. Christian Slater does look like Jack, never thought of that. He's too old to play Jack though, IMHO. But Keeley Hawes has the looks for Tenenbaum as well. She can pull off the sad look in her eyes, sad smile, brown curly hair, slim pointy face, sorta. Lol.

[ejakes@bgsu.edu]

Edward Norton as Jack
http://www.latinoreview.com/news/images/user/Edward_Norton_Painted_Veil_5.jpg
Reliable actor who has proven himself as an actor that can create the character himself.
or Norman Reedus
http://expensivemistakescheapthrills.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/nr.jpg
A bit of a shot, but could definately play a badass (Boondock Saints) and could play the aspiring character
Anthony Hopkins as Andrew Ryan
http://www.barnahouse.com/images/galleryFilms/AnthonyHopkins.jpg
Amazing actor to play the man with too much pride.
Sandra Bullock as Bridgette Tenenbaum
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u206/aarif_iman/Sandra_Bullock.jpg
Needs makeup, but she could play insane... I think.
or Helen Bonham Carter
http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2008/01/16-22/helena_bonham_carter028.jpg
The better choice of someone who could have the basis of caring and slightness of insanity
Josh Hartnett as Atlas
http://celebslap.com/photos/Josh%20Hartnett%20of%20the%20cinema%20source.jpg
Voice that asks you "kindly" to help his family. The care in his voice is convincing to listen to to the average movie goer.

[ejakes@bgsu.edu]

Ed Harris as Frank Fontaine
http://www.libertyfilmfestival.com/libertas/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sgg-001410.jpg
Yes underutilized and can play the bad guy very well. A needed transition in cinema.
or Gary Oldman
http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/warner_brothers/harry_potter_and_the_order_of_the_phoenix/gary_oldman/phoenix2.jpg
Hell yeah. Proven amazing actor, who i am positive could play the syndicated crime lord of the people.
Neil Patrick Harris as Sander Cohen
http://www.topsocialite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/neil-patrick-harris.jpg
A chance to go from Comedy to the dreary halls of Rapture, but Cohen is an eccentric man with no moral restraint. I could definitely see him with a dark twisted mind.
Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. J.S. Steinman
http://bittenandbound.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/robert-downey-jr.jpg
His work with being sophisticated and insane together would be amazing.
or Aaron Eckhart
http://timothyzhu.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/aaron-eckhart.jpg
A definite rising star. Behind the surgical mask is just the next big role for him.

[ejakes@bgsu.edu]

George Takei as Dr. Suchong
http://www.heroestheseries.com/stills/george-takei-big.jpg
Stern. Angry. Older. An obvious choice as the man who brought rise to the Big Daddy
or C.S. Lee
http://www.theatermania.com/news/images/12690a.jpg
Definate shot in the dark, but I see potential in him. An almost dead look alike.
Radha Mitchell as Diane McClintcock
http://www.bullz-eye.com/celebritybabes/images/radha_mitchell.jpg
The once loved now lost woman of Ryan's past. I think she could play the love that was turned a blind eye.
Alison Lohman as Professor Julie Langford
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i287/HTBrian/Stuff/Alison_Lohman1.jpg
The blonde that created the plant infested Arcadia. Under solitude and still has amazing beauty.
Marcia Gay Harden as Mariska Lutz

Crazy lady can be played. Proven whacko who is edging off the deep end.
Edward Furlong as Kyle Fitzpatrick

Young prodigy at the piano to play the young exploding man.

[ejakes@bgsu.edu]

Jared Leto as Hector Rodriguez
http://www.flickscribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/jared_leto.jpg
A man with a straight mind and can bring disillusion to the audience. Could also make a good Jack.
Bruce Willis as Bill McDonagh
http://www.theodoresworld.net/pcfreezone/bruce_willisImage1.jpg
Loyal man who sees how the tide is turning and has a realistic outlook on the future of Rapture. Willis has the ability to make this character and you know it.
David O’Hara as Peach Wilkins
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTMwNzE5NzM1MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNTU3MjM3._V1._ SX291_SY400_.jpg
Has the makings of the older, slurred speech, insane whackjob. Definitely my only pick for old peachy.

totally John Waters for Cohen :D

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

whoever said Daniel Day Lewis as Ryan, great pick, we could get a whole "IV'E ABANDONED MY SON!!! IV'E ABANDONED MY BOY!!!!" scene in there for Jack. But really, thats a good idea.

Also, for Fontaine, we need to keep in mind that the same guy has to play Atlas as well. I still think that David Draiman would fit the nice but evil role... Maybe I'm just insane...

Or Gerard Butler, because he was a real bad ass in 300.

[Spliced Big Daddy]

wed have to have more than one actress for little sisters

[vampristic]

Stienmen should be portrayed by whomever played Gorden in the original 'SAW'.

Shia, IMO actually grew up nicely. Granted, he doesn't look to fly with a mutache, but he would probably do fine as Jack.

Little Sister(s) by whoever had that role in Little Miss Sunhine.

..i dunno but i just cant picture him wearing (whatever jack was wearing)
and a wrench in his hand. if he doesent talk very much in the movie then
it would be alright...

he is commonly considered the best modern actor right now and he looks dead on like andrew ryan....

Ugh, i hate Sheia Labeef -if thats how you spell it- he would make a terrible Jack *shudders*
I still think that John Waters would make a great Sander Cohen, they look exactly the same!

[Moira Fontaine]

I think it should be...

Aaron Eckhart for Atlas
Eva Green for Tenenbaum
Mila Kunis for Culpepper
Cameron Diaz for Langford?
Jennifer Garner for Lutz
James Franco as Jack or possible Atlas..
William Dafoe as Fontaine
Chin Han as Suchong
I also like Nestor Carbonell for Fontaine...has that stoic and creepy look to me xD
Hugh Laurie for Ryan! xD kiddiiinnn. hes jsut my fav actor! :D
Kevin Moon for Suchong....nother possibility?
Andy Comeau as Ryan?
Sean Bean as Fontaine
like JK Simmons for Ryan

So I know I listed multiple actors for one role haha xD but I think any of them would do nicely..

[C0H3N]

eddie izzard definately matches the from the office of andrew ryan screen, however those who would vote vincent price for him matching his face when he contacts jack via radio and diary entries might consider Geoffrey Rush. (see his appearance as Stephen H. Price; the slighty crazed entrapraneur)

as far as sander cohen is concerned, jim carey is definately my pick likewise.

for tenenbaum, i think Helen Bonham Carter would be perfect if she could pull off the german accent.

Alex Trebek for dr. steinman is perfect appearance wise, not sure how he weighs in as an actor though.

ken leung from the LOST series in my humble opinion would make the best suchong.

Hannah Dakota Fanning would make a perfect little sister, not sure who else for the rest of them.

hate sayin it.....REALLY hate saying it....but to me he just has that look ya know? Jason Statham for Jack.

[Frank Fountaine]

How about Jennifer Connley (sp?) who played in the Labyrinth. I think she'd make a good tennenbaum + she's preatty good looking to...:D

I'd have to agree with you, Frank...I thought she looked great in The Rocketeer. She just looked like she belonged in the 40-50's art deco films...

[Moira Fontaine]

Charlize Theron for Langford?

And Milla Jovovich as the first female spider splicer you encounter who attacks your 'sphere and is too tough to kill....?

Josh Duhamel as Jack....

William Dafoe would also make an awesome Cohen in my opinion!!

Cillian Murphy is creepy enough for Cohen :D dunno if he could manage that look...

Isn't she a preatty famous actress just to play in a 1 minute scene. I'd rather see Paris Hilton be in that scene, she already looks the part...lol..//

but i have to say i agree with Mari.
and a new suggestion for jack- Chris Pine

This is true. She is pretty famous. was just sayin itd be sweet to be like 'dude that was milla!!'. might just be me tho! But Im so down for seeing paris hilton play the part =D she is pretty scary.

Don't feel bad-I've thought that on one occasion.
I think someone already mentioned John Noble for Dr. Steinman.

I have and I must say he's very random somtimes. But personally I feel he's to old to play Stienman. But I could see him as Sander Cohen if he grows a mustache and gets his hair trimmed in the right way.

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

yea, if we had a say in the movie it would turn out as a weird mix between star wars and no country for old men :D

i think out of all the roles crispen glover should be cast as sander cohen
hes the original weirdo murderer

Maybe...

James Franco = Jack
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0290556/

[solidsnake78]

You have to go with Armin Shimerman as Ryan. Not only is he the voice, but he is really good, and underrated, at playing the heavy.

Of course, you would have to give him a toupe..:D

[BioShock Freak]

Maybe...

James Franco = Jack

No, he wouldn't fit the character. He's a great actor, but not for Jack. I'm still for Dominic Purcell as Jack. He could also play a great Fontaine, though.

As Jack:

they look alike, but i think that Lili Taylor seems a bit old, Tenenbaum was about 31.

[raptureryan1]

Crispin Glover As Sander Cohen Byitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[solidsnake78]

Crispin Glover is better at playing quiet, creepy weird, not so much boisterous weird.

[raptureryan1]

he'd pull it off
hes had talkative parts in movies...

[Alaanya]

that's great :D! now all we need to do is give George Washington a lightsaber :)

In a perfect world that would be possible......could you imagine the Revolutionary war with lightsabers lmao.....that would be awesome.

I also agree that Dominic Purcell would make a good Jack. I loved him in John Doe and Blade 3 as Dracula.

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

really, John Waters for Cohen, they look exactly alike!!!

I think Tenenbaum was in her mid to late 30's. I'm sure she can pull it off, though.

well, the "final solution" was in 1942-1945, and she was 16, so in 1960, she would be 31-34. She looks 30-ish in the audio diary.

[Arbesa]

I always hate these threads. Am I alone in believing that having these titty actresses and famous 'bad boy' actors would ruin the movie? I'd rather have unknown or lesser known actors in a Bioshock movie.

you have a really good point. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that would make a perfect Tenenbaum or a splendid Andrew Ryan.

[vitiis]

Yes, I'm definitely with you. I think I may have posted that as well (or perhaps just thought it). I much, much, much prefer lesser known actors because then the movie feels much more 'real'. You don't identify the person with another character they played in a different movie. You're open to them and not biased. And they don't have hollywood garbage attached to them.

And it's absolute nonsense when people say "but they won't be able to act". I've seen many movies with virtually unseen, fantastic, believable actors. It's just a matter of casting directors doing their research and looking at what's out there.

I also want to say: I'm really picky about character characteristics. I've read books and the author has detailed someone down to a tee and the movie directors ignore it completely. It's like if they gave Tenenbaum long blonde hair when really she's a brunette. Maybe I'm being fastidious but it just ruins it for me :/


Okay, I needed that rant :p Sorry if I went off on a tangent.

edit: If Shia Lebeouf, The Rock or Mark Wahlberg are in it, I'll want to scream, tear out my own eyeballs then somehow damage my eardrums.

I'm not going for the look-a-like suggestion but more of the who I'd like to see playing who.

Anthony Hopkins - Andrew Ryan
Clive Owen - Jack Ryan
Liam Neeson - Frank Fontaine/Atlas
Cate Blanchett - Bridgette Tenenbaum
George Takei - Dr. Suchong
John Waters - Sander Cohen
Willem Dafoe - Dr. Steinman

Other than that I don't think there's any roles big enough worthy of big names.

Jack and Clive Owen look identical
So do Sander and John Waters
Actually most of those are look a like actors.

Well, I guess my 'want' picks are accurate then! ;)

[Venom Wolf]

Can someone confirm this (from livejournal):

I'm unable to verify this myself, as I only read it on a comment on a Bioshock vid on youtube, but apparently Johnny Depp was asked about playing Sander Cohen for the up coming movie, and he "seemed interested".

[Nady]

Pinch.. of.. salt.

[missmiggins]

OH GOD NO not shina lebeouf!
its has to be..

Milo Ventimiglia!
i think hes perfect as jack :]

[missmiggins]

I always hate these threads. Am I alone in believing that having these titty actresses and famous 'bad boy' actors would ruin the movie? I'd rather have unknown or lesser known actors in a Bioshock movie.

i think the most important thing here is to find actors and actresses who look absolutally perfect for the part! 'Cause we're so use to the faces in the game it would just ruin it if they wernt replicas of the game charecters as perfectly as they could be.

In my mind the only person that could possibly be played by someone famous is jack cause i think Milo Ventimiglia looks perfect as him, but everyone has there own idea of what he'd look like because we've never seen him before xD thats just my personal opinion ^^'..

But yes! i do agree : D its not about famous names xD its about whoevers pefect for the part :3!
