GTA IV: The Movie

[tristy]

who would you cast as Niko? Roman? Michelle? Playboy X? etc.

I really could see Elizabeta as either Queen Latifah or Mo'Nique. Niko... I don't even know really. Roman reminds me of a european Oliver Platt. Little Jacob would probably be Mekhi Phifer , and as for Playboy X... fuck it, just give it to Common.

This topic has been kicking around in my head for a few days, since the game really does feel like a movie (to me). If it's not appropriate for this forum, move it, but I can't imagine anywhere else it'd go.

Niko Bellic:

[apsham]

Dominic Purcell or Paul Walker for Packie!

Mark Wahlberg in there somewhere.

[Supertrick]

Roy keane for Niko but just get a russian to do the voice.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Roy keane for Niko but just get a Serbian to do the voice.

corrected >_>

[Slogger]

Im thinking of a bald footballer that looks alot like Packie, I thought it was Roy Keane but a image search denys that, Who am i thinking of?

[King Ellis]

Dimitri is like the spitting image of Carmine Giovinazzo from CSI:NY

[LL!]

Duh. Vladimir Mashkov from Behind Enemy Lines.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Viggo Mortensen is Faustin!

Anyone see Leon the Professional?

Jean Reno would be ideal for Niko. He has the accent, the ability to be an ice cold killer, though has a very convincing remorseful side.

All in all, when I watched this movie during the early days of GTAIV hype, I wanted Niko to be like this man.

[Krone]

Excellent. Jean Reno in the Professional is spot on actually...

[cyrux11 loves the spurs]

DMX as Dwayne.

[cyrux11 loves the spurs]

The Rock as Brucie? Just needs to be a little lighter, and I'd thing he would be perfect for the role.

[Guest Kou]

Does Niko ever confirm he's a Serb? I mean there's all the clues that lead to either being Serb or Croatian with the wars and whatnot but the only real hard "THIS IS WHER IM FROM" is that he says he's Balkan/few people mention that he's Balkan.

[Dingle]

My Balkan knowledge isn't too great, but I'm trying to think of where else in the Balkans he COULD have come from aside from Serbia (or maybe Bosnia).

[Baddar]

Is there a reason why R* haven't confirmed his nationality to us?

Maybe they don't know either!!!

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Elizabeta reminds me of the dealer in the TV Show 'Weeds' played by Tonye Patano I believe.

And there's a guy in it who reminds me of Dwayne too but I can't think of his name.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Aparently Niko speaks some Serbian phrases throughout the game.
