Clearly you picked Other for good and other for Bad

Ron Perlman is not someone who can play comic relief. He is a Lead actor in most of the films he is in now. I understand some of the things he did in Hellboy and Hellboy 2 could be considered funny, but Ron Perlman wouldn't be anything more in the story then the narrator. He played a minor Character in Fallout 1 and was never put into Fallout 2 as his character from the first Fallout.

Good: Christian Bale(sp) even though I'm not partial to his acting.
Bad: Russell Crowe he's a good bad guy.
Ugly: I don't remember who I picked off the list.

Although you could always go to the tried and true:
Clint Eastwood
Lee Van Clef
Eli Wallace

to bad we don't have a time machine eh?

I am just glad we didn't see Mel Gibson up there...

I have lost all respect for Christian Bale honestly. I just can't respect a guy who would explode at someone for adjusting lights for his shots. I think it shows his complete disregard for professionalism. I will still see the next Terminator though. :nod:

Doesn't make him a bad actor, though.

The Good: Christian Bale
The Bad: Russell Crowe (what was said above)
The Ugly: Robert Downey Jr. (you need someone funny to liven up FO3 or it'll get real boring)

Feel free to give me some options for a good bad and ugly for women and I will make a poll :)

How about that Tina Turner in Mad Max: Beyond Thunder Dome :P

Hi, I'm not really sure what's being asked here. Cast for a remake of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in a Fallout 3 setting? :)

Sure, we can have a Wanderer, a crooked Steel Knight and a disheveled Raider all competing with each other to find a grave which holds the key to a bottlecap factory.

Have you even played any of the fallout games? Fallout without Ron Perleman isnt fallout - thats why he's in every game, except that horrible one that doesnt count (no, not tactics, the one we all block out).

My vote would be William Shatner - Since we're wrecking the series with a movie, we might as well Have, The, Captain, Of, The, EnterPrise, Denny Crane!

Well, The Good The Bad and The Ugly is a theme used in many films. One I can name off the top of my head is Pirates of the Caribbean. Orlando Bloom = Good / Geoffry Rush = Bad / Johnny Depp = Ugly. Its the idea of a Antagonist, a Protagonist, and the not so good and not so bad guy who was comic relief.

Sean Connery for every role.


He is retired. He didn't want to be part of Indiana Jones 4. If it was an animation possibly :P. I think most people who are Fallout fans would be sad pandas if a Fallout movie was made and it was Animation. Fallout Anima... hmmmmmm I am sure that would be interesting. Couldn't be any worse then Afro Samurai, which is an awesome cartoon.

Sure, we can have a Wanderer, a crooked Steel Knight and a disheveled Raider all competing with each other to find a grave which holds the key to a bottlecap factory.


I was not thinking about a PotC kind of thing here. I seriously think the harshness of the world would have to be at the for front and the twisted humor can't be every 5 mins or it wastes the movie and turns it into nothing but a Comedy. I would hope for the Film to have Sci-fi/Horror, and not the stupid laughable Teen Horror films, only the kind where the bad guy gets his way at the end. I see it as a 3:10 to Yuma kind of story. No one is really happy at the end but Justice is served.

I have played the fallout games and all Ron Perlman was was a Narrator. He makes a good amount of money now form being apart of Hellboy. I am saying of course he would be in the film but he wouldn't be in a main roll he would serve as the Narrator like he always has and always should have. He just wouldn't be part of the film as a Main Character. A Narrator is, as you know, completely different from a Main Roll in a movie. I don't think he would be absent in the world, but his role would see him as some one keeping tabs on how things were going. The People who the story is about will drive the story and Ron Perlman would serve as the chorus like in a Greek play. He would drive the story and keep you abriast of the tale. This is an important role but no where near a Main role. I don't think William Shatner would do a Fallout movie to be honest. He is too old and Action films take a ton of endurance. Which I think is why Christan Bale went ape *censored* crazy on the lead cinematographer for Terminator: Salvation.

I was making a reference to Leone's movie there. Granted I wasn't really sure how to port Angel Eyes (crooked Steel Knight) over. And that's Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

O dear god Angel Eyes svcked...

The only good thing about that movie was that fact that J-lo was in it, and that was why it svcked as well.

I think the Professional would be a great example of both the Humor, the driving factor of Mathilda wanting to kill the person responsible for her little brothers death, and the dichotomy of Leon and Mathilda add to that the most Excellently Evil character Stansfeild played by a brilliant Gery Oldman. I honestly consider The Professional or L?on one of my top 10 movies because I love how this bad guy, a hitman for the mafia, protects a girl from a drug dealing family, and he is in some ways redeemed through his protection of and his sacrifice to protect Methilda. I think you could set a movie in a place where the vast majority of those people in the wasteland are just trying to stay alive, and still have a Heroic Epic with a terribly flawed character as the one who saves the day. I also consider Blade runner, because of the Replicant man quest in Fallout 3, as material to think about in a Fallout movie. If you have never seen Blade Runner I highly recommend it as it is one of the few Sci-fi films that were completely underrated and showed how the studios can screw up a good thing. That film had so many changes done to it by the studio and Ridley Scott, to my knowledge, never did another Sci-fi film after Blade Runner, but at least we got Gladiator. Getting back on track here I think if the right people were involved in writing a great script with a director and producer of some quality and FOX having nothing to do with the film, then I think a Fallout movie could be great. The problem is getting the public to rally around a film that is set in a world where an Nuclear Apocalypse has taken place and getting them to enjoy it. I don't think the public would completely pan a fallout movie because Mad Max: Road Warrior did fairly well for a movie set in a future world ravaged by Nuclear war but that movie is 28 years old and the audience back then was different then today. Now please correct me if I went on a blind tangent over a complete misunderstanding here as I could be reading to much into your statement Malcador. :mellow:

Josh Brolin behaved like a fitting Wasteland wanderer in the desert scenes of No Country for Old Men. Hell, they should even get Javier Bardem to play his unstoppable evil character from the same movie.

Good? hmmm......Not sure. bad? EASY. Anthony Hopkins...his performance as Hannibal is STILL chilling to watch. Ugly? Jack black...he just strikes me as the right type of offensive ass for the role. Although while we are discussing silver screen issues, has no one remembered that Liam Neeson(Star Wars Episode One, Taken, Chronicles of Narnia, and a pile more I don't remember) did the Dad voice? I submit that ANY Fallout Movie if based on Fallout 3 would not be worth watching without at least SOME return to ingame content...*thinking of the number of videogames turned movies that bombed horribly because some fooktard hollywood producer decided to ignore the gameworld backstory. As for women? tough choice...I think some heavy casting work would be required there...possibly people who could follow in the footsteps of stars such as Sigourney Weaver from the Aliens movies and Linda Hamilton from the Terminator movies? Maybe Sanaa Lathan? (Blade, Aliens Vs Predator?*Ok ok I know AvP svckED...she still played the rough tough female who goes through hell....*

Some of my suggestions:

Christian Bale as the Vault Dweller (He is a Jerk and I may not go to the Theater to see Terminator: Salvation because of Bale's rant towards the Camera Man who was work on the set. I can't watch a movie with such an egotistical Johnson.)

Megan Fox as Amata (What is everyone's thing for this chick she is a really bad actor and I would love to smack her in the head in some parts of Terminator.)

Liam Neeson as James (Would be awesome to see him in the movie.)

Michelle Yeoh as Doctor Li (I agree)

Jason Statham (Transporter) as Col. Autumn (An English actor for a person who sounds like he is from the South. Even I can't imagine Jason as a person who could do an Aristocratic Southerner voice. Great Action star and awesome in The Transporter, but I just don't see him as Autumn )

Anne Hathaway (Bride Wars) as Moira Brown ( Sorry, but Anne Hathaway wouldn't pick this role and she is to Sweet Heartish and not grimmy enough. I mean sure she can be annoying but moria is a special kind of annoying the type that takes a special person to play. I don't mean special in a handicap way either.

Morgan Freeman as Lucus Simms (Morgan Freeman is to old, how about Terrence Howard from Iron Man.)

Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) as Sticky ( Eh, Shia hasn't proven to me that he has acting chops he is in Action films but I would love some really awesome acting from him. Transformers was OK but it wasn't an inspiring Macbeth.)

Ron Perlman as Charon (How many times to I have to explain Ron Perlman is the Narrator...)

Jack Nicholson as the voice of "John Henry Eden" (Already has a great person playing the role, and if you doubt me I will go Ultra Violent on ya)

Clint Eastwood as the "Mysterious Stranger" (Would be nice but I was thinking more of a leading role.)

The Good : Kevin Spacey (Doesn't seem the Wasteland type of guy. He was a great bad guy in Seven, but to be honest I don't think people could imagine a person like Kevin Spacey in the role like Mel Gibson's Mad Max Character. I just can't see it honestly)

The Bad : Gary Oldman (Yea he is a great Bad Guy. I don't think he would be Horrible. He plays a great Villain for sure. Just not sure if everyone else could take his Bad Guy style. He was great in The Professional)

The Ugly : John Turturro ( Hmmmmmmm, Could work, and he can be a great Jack hole. I could see him ever so slightly pissing off both the good and the bad. Sure, I could see him in the role. I have never seen him in this kind of role and his Transformers role doesn't count. My mind can't think of other movies that make me laugh more then "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" The Coen Bros. are awesome, its like who else would have thought up "No Country for Old Men" and "Fargo".)

Spacey has range, just watch Se7en, Swimming With Sharks, American Beauty, and The Usual Suspects. He's capable of pulling off virtually any role, and is always fantastic to watch.

As for Tuturro, http://www.metacafe.com/watch/978697/the_big_lebowski_jesus_quintana/ ;)
