If killer7 would be a movie, who's your pick?


I just have to say that killer7, if done right and true to the game, would be
a kick-ass movie! But who should play the Smiths?

Here are some of my suggestions:

Harman - Ian McKellen
Garcian - Lawrence Fishburne
Con - Nick Stahl
Coyote - John Leguizamo
Kaede - Azura Skye

Dan - I'm not sure, but it seems to me that he's asian... am I wrong?
Mask De - someone huge...
Kevin - I have no idea!


"Say goodnight. It's past your bedtime." - Harman Smith.

I'd have to agree with you on the fact that Hugh Jackman could play Dan Smith.
I was actually thinkning about Thomas Jane for that part, but Hugh would
definitely fit.

Harman-Ian Mckellen (or even Anthony Hopkins with some hair)
Garcian-W.Snipes (Or The guy who played Spawn....or Carl Weathers if he was alot younger)
Con-David Seamen (Joke-dunno really)
Coyte-Buffed up Leguizamo
Kaede-Dunno
Dan-Hugh Jackman....but I see what that guy meant about him bein Asian
Mask-Arne....with a better accent
Kevin-Matt Damon.....

Iwarzu-Robin Williams (He can play n e thin)
Angel (1st Boss man)-De Niro,beefed up n younger
Travis-Brad Pitt
BloodySunday (Or whoever he is,dead child,boss helpin person)-Sixth Sense Kid
Uretha(Sorry Afro dude,cant remember his name proper)-Samuel L Jackson,jus wna c him wiv a Afro relle.
Samantha-Helen Bonham Carter (She can b a 'lady' and a real B*tch,Fight Club anyone?)

Personally if Killer 7 were ever made into a movie id like to see it done in either an anime style or computer generated. That and id rather have the original voice actors so their voices would stay the same as they were in the game.

They could do the whole movie in CGI, like "Sin City". I think that would work.

Ironically with some work the guy who voices Coyote might actually be able to play him (maybe I'm just biased cause I loooove the few lines he has) but it's Benito Martinez, the guy who plays "Capt. David Aceveda" in "The Shield"

reply

just to mix it up a bit, how bout this?

garcian- laurence fishburne
dan- john cho for he's asian supporters. cillian murphy (i know he's not american) for he's american supporters
coyote- gael garcia bernal
con- edward furlong
kaede- rose byrne
harman- ed harris
kevin- guy pearce

but they would absolutely HAVE to keep the same soundtrack. the whole thing was amazing and helped make the game what it was.

reply

Nice cast! Especially liked Rose Byrne and Guy Pierce, never thought of that! However, I didn't like John Cho as Dan Smith.

I've always wanted to see more of Rick Yune and I think he would be perfect as Dan!

reply

nice. good call on rick yune

This is my list:

Harman S.: Ed Harris
Garcian S.: Wesley Snipes
Con S.: Jake Gyllenhaal
Dan S.: Edward Norton/Jet Li
Kaede S.: Chiaki Kuriyama (Kill Bill's Gogo, the psycho girl)
Kevin S.: Sean Penn (maybe too risky but hey)
Mask de S.: Benicio del Toro
Coyote S.: Keanu Reeves

Yoon-Hyun: Takeshi "Beat" Kitano
Susie (girl's head): Emilie de Ravin
BloodySunday: Haley Joel Osment
Travis: definitely Brad Pitt
Iwazaru: Steve Buscemi
Andrei Ulmeyda: Marlon Wayans
Kun Lan: i've no idea
Samantha: Helena Bonham Carter would be a good choice
Christopher Mills: Tim Roth
Curtis Blackburn: still playing Chapter Encounter so I need time to decide
Gatekeeper: D'oh! But he looks like a long-haired samurai...

reply

I think I'll steal your format.

Harman S.: Clint Eastwood
Garcian S.: Wesley Snipes
Con S.: Shia LaBeouf
Dan S.: Keanu Reeves
Kaede S.: Chiaki Kuriyama
Kevin S.: Kevin Spacey
Mask de S.: The Rock
Coyote S.: John Leguizimo

Yoon-Hyun: Takeshi "Beat" Kitano
Travis: Owen Wilson
Iwazaru: Steve Buscemi
Kun Lan: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung, from the Mortal kombat movie)
Curtis Blackburn: Ben Stiller
Gatekeeper: I believe he should remain a computer generated character.

I think most of u are just picking young actors for Con. Most of the people you have picked are in their late teens (16+) to mid 20's. the actual age of con is 14. People need to remember that.

reply

I Agree. Or maybe instead of a movie, how bout a mini series? Like Miike's MPD Psycho?

reply

I'd let Suda51 remain in charge. Killer7's background and main storylines are incredibly deep, vast, and complex. The only person who would understand all of them completely would be Suda51. Now, if he wanted to take a crew under his wing and perhaps hire a liason for some American production studio, then perhaps some good casting would take place.


All that aside, I think Suda needs to remain in charge of a would-be Killer7 film. There are very few people on this planet that understand the complexity of that game, and don't take that statement likely. Even if you "got" Killer7's story, there's a very high chance that you didn't understand the half of it.

As for our own cast picks:

Garcian/Emir: Snipes may not be tall enough. Mainstream as he may be, Will Smith could pull off Garcian. He's got the height and the build. Fishburne is too overweight.

Harman's voice is very distinct, so the right actor for the job is needed. Who that is, I have no idea. Eastwood comes to mind, but he isn't my number 1 pick. Until someone better comes along, Clint'll do.

Kaede: Keira Knightley comes to mind in terms of build. I see her playing the role, as well as Winona Ryder perhaps. However, my understanding is that Kaede is half Japanese, or completely Japanese. In order for it to be convincing, an Asian girl/woman should be cast, but she also needs to speak english without a trace of foreign accent in her.

Dan: Keanu actually sprang into my mind a while ago, but now that I think about it, he definitely isn't badass enough for the role (this is arguable). Jackman, on the other hand, works very well.

Kevin: I can see Crispin Glover doing the role justice if he buffs up a lot.

Con: His face is veiled except for his nose and mouth... so... I dunno.

Coyote: John Leguizamo or Oded Fehr come to mind.

Mask: Some really tall, well-built guy who speaks with a Mexican edge to his voice. Maybe hire one of the better actors from WWE who wears a Luchador mask. Seriously, though... Mask has be stumped.

I thought Iwazaru and Kun Lan were one and the same...hm. Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat (Cary something or other) could work. I like his voice and his whole demeanor.

Bah, there are too many other characters to consider.

I think something a lot of us are forgetting is that a large amount of Killer7's appeal had to do with its presentation. By presentation, I mean the graphic style, the animation, and the voice acting. The voices were all very well done, and the graphics gave the game and story personalities of their own.

If Killer7 were to ever make it to movie-dom (which I doubt, since the game was a bit of a flop... so sad, but I digress), I wouldn't mind the style being almost identical to the game's. Same voice actors (perhaps they'd do their job a bit better knowing it'd be a film), similar animation (though improved so as to be compatible with film standards), and an almost identical story.

Killer7 played like a movie. A movie version of K7 should be similar to the game, though I can see the project doing well if it were done using real actors.

Harman Smith- Kris Kristofferson
Dan Smith- Jeff Goldblum
KAEDE Smith- Winona Ryder
Con Smith- Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Coyote Smith- Benecio Del Toro(With a lot of make-up to make him look younger)
Kevin Smith- Heidenreich (WWE)
Mask de Smith- Rey Mysterio (WWE) (Idealy a little taller)
Garcian Smith- Wesley Snipes

Samantha- Avril Lavigne
Kun Lan- Bruce Willis
Christopher Mills- Pauly Shore
Andrei Ulmeyda- Chris Tucker
BloodySunday- Haley Joel Osment
Travis- Brad Pitt
Curtis Blackburn- Stephen Dorff (The bad guy(Frost) from the first Blade)

All the other characters, like Iwazaru, The Handsome Men, Susie, the bosses and so on, aren't important enough for it to matter too much who plays them. And I am not picking Rey Mysterio just because he wears a mask, he's good because he sounds the same and is a very muscular wrestler, but like I said, it'd be better if he were taller.

reply

wwe people can't act. there's a reason they're doing what they're doing.

reply

According to a forum I saw on Gamefaqs, Dan Smith is actually Irish-American, with KAEDE being Japanese-American and Con Smith being Chinese, and, although pointless because he never talks, Kevin Smith is British and openly gay. Look it up somewhere on gamefaqs; someone had all the info, birthdates, and detailed backgrounds from the guide in Japan. I'll post it if and when I find it.

reply

Kevin isn't British. Play the last part of the game again....he's the guy working at the desk in the hotel, and, I'm pretty sure he talks. (Tried to be as vague as possible so as not to spoil anything for anyone)

reply

Here's the text which indicates all the detail for the game and characters. Enjoy!

After thinking about it, Morris Chestnut could pull off Garcian. I think he has the physique and demeanor for the role.

garcian (cool name by the way)- wesley snipes on stilts! garcian is like what 6'10

coyote- leguizamo (hes perfect)
kaede- social worker from sin city!

kevin- brad pitt (just another excuse for the director to have him take his top off) plus i think he would nail that no talking role, just expressions

samantha- keira knightley

reply

Good choices for Harman, but I think that Terence Stamp is a dead ringer for Harman. He even kinda looks and sounds like him!

How's about Andre 3000 for Ulmeyda? With his sense if humor, he'd probably accept.
