Krookie Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465494/ Vin Deisel I think Jason Statham would have been perfect for the part. http://media.teamxbox.com/dailyposts/vindiesel-hitman.jpg C'mon. I mean, c'mon. Edited July 12, 2006 by Krookie
Bokishi Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Vin Deisel is not a 47. End of thread. Current 3DMark
Dark_Raven Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Maybe they can get Uwe Boll to direct. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Hurlshort Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I agree Jason Statham would be perfect, but I'm not entirely bummed by Vin Deisel getting the role. Still, it's more about the director and writer. I'll expect the worst and hope for the best.
Bokishi Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 This movie needs to be stopped before it kills the franchise Current 3DMark
Hurlshort Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Christian Bale would be decent too, although I'm not sure how he looks bald. The guy who wrote "Swordfish" is doing the screenplay. I'm not sure how to take that. I remember it being pretty average.
Darque Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Maybe they can get Uwe Boll to direct. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't even say that in jest....

Krookie Posted July 13, 2006 Author Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) How about Mark Messier for the role? http://images.tsn.ca/images/stories/200509...ssier_30596.jpg Edited July 13, 2006 by Krookie

Gorth Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Maybe they can get Uwe Boll to direct. He's a bit like Ed Wood, just without the talent. He does have one talent though, three movies on the bottom #100 list on imdb requires "something" :-" As for 47, he just doesn't remind me of Vin Diesel in any way. Heck, Bruce Willis could do a better 47, even a guy with hair would do a better 47 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
BicycleOfDeath Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Christian Bale, yes. American Psycho. *nod nod* Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.

Calax Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 He could pull it of (deisel) if he applied himself how he does with riddick. He needs all the intensity and none of the personality. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Fenghuang Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Jason Statham's build is wrong for 47. Diesel will do fine if he gets a good script and he puts out some effort. I think he probably will because he's a self professed nerd. I don't see him wanting to mess it up or not taking it seriously. RIP
Hurlshort Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I'm not quite sure why folks are so hard on Vin Deisel. He's an action star, he's done some neat sci-fi stuff, and he still plays D&D. Here are some things to keep in mind when watching him. 1. He's a one dimensional actor. That's not a problem, as long as he stays within that dimension. 2. That one dimension is a tough guy character. If you go to see him giving an emotional performance, you will probably be let down. If you go to see him bust balls, you will find your expectations met. 3. He's not a writer or director. If the movie sucks, it's probably not his fault. A director needs to know how to use his actors. 4. Action movies are usually not plausible and rarely have thought provoking plots. When you go to see a Vin Diesel action flick, don't expect high art. Expect explosions and fight scenes.

alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I liked Vin Diesel in Pitch Black too. While a smaller role, I also liked him in Saving Private Ryan. He was a "decent" character
LoneWolf16 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 I liked Vin Diesel in Pitch Black too. While a smaller role, I also liked him in Saving Private Ryan. He was a "decent" character <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't know he was in SPR...hmm, probably just didn't notice him. And he makes a great quiet tough guy, and can feign a decent air of intellectualism, which is great for 47. I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) He was Private Caparzo, the one that said it was the "decent thing to do" when grabbing the little french girl. He gets shot by the German sniper in town, and was a friend of Private Mellish, the Jewish soldier in the squad. He died in the street holding a letter to his father, asking Mellish to send it.

LoneWolf16 Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Ah. A joyful scene, to be sure.

alanschu Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Saving Private Ryan is a movie that evokes a ton of emotional responses from me when I watch it. Which is likely why it's one of my favourite movies of all time. Given that actually Overlord survivors commented that the Omaha scene at the beginning was frighteningly life like, it made me like the movie any more. They did not hold back or romaticize war at all. And in doing so made a much more memorable movie.
