Final Fantasy VII – The Movie

So recently myself and a friend have cracked back into that timeless RPG Final Fantasy VII. We’ve clocked around 20 hours worth of gameplay and we’re barely half way through disc 2. This isn’t because we’re shit, quite the opposite, we know it like the back of our hands. We’re simply 100%ing this bad boy step-by-step and grinding relentlessly (we did exactly the same with FF8 last May/June, which culminated in me destroying Omega Weapon in 15 attacks – I counted).

Recently while we’ve been playing – under the influence or not – we’ve been debating who would play who in a movie version of FF7 (I love AC, but I wanna put actors into roles), here’s what we’ve got roughly. Leave you’re suggestions if you want:

Cloud – poss…Andrew Garfield?! (he’s pretty much everywhere atm, and looks intense enough in the Spider-man promo pic)

Barret – Samuel L. Jackson (bad ass boi)

Tifa – Megan Fox (hot and in action flicks…albeit shit actor)

Aerith – Natalie Portman (so much cuteness, eg. think of Closer)

Nanaki/Red XIII – Morgan Freeman (sagacious voice)

Yuffiecurrently stumped…

Cait Sith / Reeve – Seth Rogen? (for the lols) / Kyle Chandler (Coach Taylor, who else?!)

Vincent – Taylor Kitsch (Vampiric Tim Riggins)…….although thinking about it Keanu Reeves anyone?

Cid – Nicholas Cage (bring on the Cage rage)

Sephiroth – Christian Bale (only person I can think of who has enough intensity)…second thoughts…Edward Norton?

Rufus – Leo Di Caprio (I panicked)

Reno – James Franco (cocky but lovable)

Rudecurrently stumped…

Special Mentions for the lols:

Hojo – Pete Postlewaithe (seriously, would have been the SHIT! rip bro)

Heidegger – Brian Blessed (come on…)

Scarlet – one of the cougars from Desperate Housewives

bit of a stellar cast, but give us a break. No-one would know who we were chatting about if we slammed a load of indie stars in there! Any thoughts/suggestions, slam ’em below x
