    i feel the need to start a thread about this sort of thing after dicking around on IMDB and looking at "Alexas Davolos" and her credits....i watched "Riddick" today and was interested to see if they were making a THIRD movie in the series to see if they could rip off something a little LESS obvious....if you didnt see Riddick....it was "dune"....

    anyways to the point of the thread....

    VIN DIESAL AS "AGENT 47" In "HITMAN".....

    UH, if yall havent seen OR played the video game....the dude in the game is WHITE...AND hes straight....they should pick that guy from "the TRransporter"
  2.  
    ALSO....

    Sarah Michelle Geller As Alice in the Alice movie based on the video game...

    First, I wish I knew Vin as a bouncer in New York. Yum. The rest to me is heeeestory.

    Sarah, I can see her as Alice. Her look would be good anyway.........is it just voice over crap, or did the digitize the character after her?

    I felt similarly about Halle Berry as Catwoman... given that Catwoman was a blonde white chick.
    But then to avoid that little issue, they basically changed the story all around to make it about a different "non-traditional" Catwoman.
    Not that I actually saw the movie, but many eyebrows were raised over the topic.

    hmm i think things like the vin/'hitman' halle/'catwoman' things are ok...


    admitting i'm not going to see either movie and not fan of the source material. so hey i know view (further) doesn't count...


    i don't see why people get upset about these things especially when the chracter is fictional......does it matter ??

    btd hmm i think the 'transporter' guy is trying abit to avoid being pegged down as an actor. read a review of the film 'london' for details.....

    Well, I can understand the issue you have with Vin Diesel. Actually, it'd be better if they shaved somebody else's head to do it.

    Someone like Jason Statham would be perfect. IS n;t funny how he looks older than Vin Diesel, but isn't?

    Um, Moose, Catwoman was always a character with black hair in the comic books.

    It was only the rendition of Selina Kyle that Michelle Pfeiffer kicked around that made her blonde.

    Catwoman with Halle Berry got around the renaming of the character by making her part of a legend of Catwomen, which I feel added a nice dimension to the mythos.

    Still, Vin Diesel is a shitty choice. Agent 47 needs to have a European accent. He can't POSSIBLY do one.

    For reals?
    I apologize for being incorrect as I never read the books. It was one of my friends who claimed to be an expert who told me that she was blonde. [sigh] I should never trust people again.

    I do think my original point still stands though. Although I probably at this point should just stop talking about things I don't know about (even though it's always fun to have an opinion about everything)

    I'm pretty fuckin' stoned, but Vin sounds like a bad choice, mainly because he's too damn BIG. Agent 47 is like a Bond character, trim, but powerful, debonair but emotionless. What Connery did for Bond, they could do for Agent 47. Unless they're going to make it like some dumb ass XxX shit and make him an American Hero(tm)(c). Then Vinny is good.

    Who I would I choose? You might laugh, but I think Glimmer hit that shit right out of the park. Jason whatever his name is would be absolutley perfect. Now he's one gritty muthafucker. Yes Smithers, egggggsellent!

    Dude, Vin Diesel in XXX where he takes a dinner tray and boardslides down a huge double set (of stairs) handrail while being shot at is fucking classic.

    The movie is pretty bad but there are moments of pure brilliance like that. It's prolly only cool to me because I skate but what evs.

    I am getting baked in less than 2 hours.

    I've been wrecked all day Beaner my boy. I just hit my pipe for the 7th time today. Today was a complete lack of anything to do at work, so I took a few guys out for a 'bone cruise', so service was a LOT of fun this evening.

    And you're right, that scene was absolutely perfect, and he was actually pretty good in it, given the material, but casting Asia Argento was gold, *sigh* if only she released those boobs, then I could rank it higher. I still think he was best in Pitch Black. But he's a great voice guy too, The Iron Giant is still one of my favorite flicks.

    well actually btd brought the jason/transporter guy idea to the table. but yeah i'll take credit for any idea anyone thinks is good !! :)

    re: xXx ok alot of people said this was bad and i'll trust them. but the movie studio or whomever made their money back within two weeks or whatever/some insane short time span whatever.. so the studio was happy...another 'hit' movie...

    if the same thing happens with the 'hitman' thing i'm sure they'll take the trade off..
