I was playing Metal Gear Solid 2 the other day and then I wondered what if there was a movie on it? You never know, it could happen. But then I thought who would play who. Who would play Snake? Who would play Raiden? Here’s the people that I thought should play the characters…READ ON
ROSEMARY- Kate Beckinsale… who has been in Pearl Harbour and Shooting fish.
Why?
Playing Raiden’s girlfriend is a small but crucial role (they won’t need to concentrate on game saves in the movie) so we need someone who can act. Besides, Kate and Rosemary look a bit alike and any film is vastly improved by featuring the delectable Kate. She’s no stranger to military action on boats either…
Emma Emmerich- Liz Hurley… who’s been in Bedazzled, Austin Powers.
Why?
Well if Octacon’s going to be played by an Englishmen (see below) his computer expert sister might as well be English too. Anyway, there aren’t many female roles in this movie so we might as well have a good looking women around, right?
OCTACON- Christian Bale… who’s been in American Psycho, Shaft.
Why?
We saw in American Psycho that Brit actor Bale can play obsessive. God knows Octacon has got to be some kind of obsessive to listen to Snake wittering on for so long. Bale looks intelligent enough to play him too. I reckon Bale’s passion would do the trick.
REVOLVER OCELOT- Vladimir Kulich… who’s been in X files, 13th warrior, Firestorm.
Why?
He’s certainly got the looks (although I would have preferred Oliver Reed if he were alive) and he carries with him the physical presence that Revolver would need to fill the movie screen. This is Kulich’s role, big but not required to carry the entire film.
OLGA GURLUKOVICH- Cameron Diaz… who’s been in Charlie’s Angels, There’s Something about Mary, The Last Supper.
Why?
Olga has a sassy tomboy feel to her that I suspect miss Diaz could carry off easily. Despite a string of glamour roles she’s no stranger to dressing down- take a look at Being John Malkovich for God’s sake!- so the combats and brutally short hair are well within her range. And basically I’d like to see her in a striped T-shirt.
COLONEL- Kurt Russell…who’s been in Soldier, Escape from New York, The Fox and The Hound.
Why?
Russell’s no stranger to parts like this- rugged, military types. Now he’s decided to go for character roles (see Vanilla Sky) then this is just the kind of part for him. He won’t have to do much, just convince Raiden that the blonde-hared streak of rat’s p*** isn’t a useless git. And the whole Snake Plissken connection is too good to pass up.
FORTUNE- WWE superstar Jackie…who’s been in..erm, the wwe mainly,um, a couple of headlocks?
Why?
The role of Fortune demands a lot of strength, this women spends most of her time wielding a bloody big gun so your Jane Horrocks of this world just wouldn’t fit the bill right? Casting a wrestler in a film would also attract the millions who are absolutely crazy about wrestling.
SOLIDUS SNAKE- Bruce Willis… who’s been in 6th Sense, Die Hard, North.
Why?
I was tempted by Rutger Hauer but ruled him out as just being too old. Admittedly this casting is a risk but Bruce has shown in films like 12 monkeys and 6th sense that he has the intensity for this kind of role. Also there are question marks over whether he has enough height, but some tricksy camera work should do the job. His sneer and air-of-seen-it-all-before superiority should bring just the right degree of animal power to the role.
FATMAN- Jack Nicholson… who’s been in the shining,Easy rider, Wolf
Why?
If you want a man to play a nutcase bomber in a protection suit then I can think of no-one better suited. It’s only a small role so we’ll just get him to do one of his really intense cameos, but these kinds of things can make a film. The fact that he’s adding a few pounds in his dotage won’t be too much of a problem, infact, it may even help the role.
VAMP- Antonio Banderas… who’s been in Spy Kids, Zorro, Evita.
Why?
Well the movement and look of the character Vamp is actually based on that irritatingly famous flamenco dancer Joachin Cortes, but I reckon Banderas would bring more menace to the role without sacrificing much in the way of movement. I wouldn’t mind seeing a bullet hole in Banderas’ head anyway…
RAIDEN- Tobey Maguire… who’s been in Spiderman, The Cider House Rules, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.
Why?
He’s young enough to play the inexperienced operative and make it convincing. All that running around in a tight suit while trying to keep his real identity a secret as Spiderman should set him in a good stead. Not sure about the blonde hair but it could work.
SOLID SNAKE- Hugh Jackman… who’s been in X-men, Swordfish, my Mum’s fantasies
Why?
This is the big one. And after a lot of thought I could find no-one better than Clint-Eastwood wannabe Jackman. He’s got the physical similarity (and Kurt Russell is too old) but the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. He’s got the moves, and he has an intensity that could carry the brooding whispers of the troubled of the troubled, anxious Solid Snake. Also, in a coincidence to beautiful to ignore, one of the writers to X2, the upcoming Xmen sequel, is David Haytar. Hayter is the voice of Solid Snake in both games. You couldn’t make it up.

Bah, you've all mentioned Sean Bean already.

I like the choice of Hugh Jackman for Snake, but what about...
Sean Bean.
He has Snake down to a tee and he doesn't even know it.
