Fallout the Movie

If they made one, and they should, what actors do you think should play which characters in the movie?

My picks so far are:

Russell Crowe as the Wanderer
Sean Connery as the Vault Overseer
Harrison Ford as Killian Darkwater

Thats all I have so far

Hehe, nice picks, Russell Crowe would be spot-on

Uhhm.. pamela anderson -> The Master?

Seriously who else would you put in for people? Let's make the comprehensive list. What other actors would be which characters? Ian? Aradesh? Gizmo? Harold? Loxley?

Darn my memory. Who was MacGyver? Put him in Killians place as he is the voice already. Atleast I think he is.

Richard Dean Anderson. And yeah, he was Killian's voice. I don't know why all these people say such and such should be Killian. Anderson did his voice, and the talking head looked like him too. So it is a very big duh.

Gizmo... Marlon Brando maybe? He is certainly large enough. Could probably do the voice too. I think he would make a pretty good Gizmo. As for the others, I don't know.

So long as they get Ron Perlman to narrate, it would be good.

Come to think of it, I remember reading in PC Gamer a few years ago that Interplay created a division called (I think) Inter play Movies, which would have made a movie about Fallout. The division probably died off years ago, but it's an interesting peice of trivia.

Loxley=Gary Oldman
Aradesh=that guy in Speed who talks on the phone
The master=Cheech
Lou=Dubya
Harold=Robin Williams
Set=Keanu Reeves
Vault dweller=Ed norton

Gizmo... DEFINATELY Wayne Knight
The hooker in the Crash hotel should be Pamela Anderson, she is definately the hottest girl alive... ohh why did they have to censor her Saturday Night Live when she stripped on stage
I would pay my life savings to bone her

Rod Serling would be a good narrator, or actually whoever is the current narator is damn good, though Rod Serling would be better

Why would I want to see a Fallout movie, when I already know the outcome?

I'd rather watch Mad Max, personally.

VasikkA · Post by **VasikkA** » Mon Jul 15, 2002 4:59 pm

Oh, since when have movies been exact copies of their predecessors? You never know the outcome.

Haplo · Post by **Haplo** » Mon Jul 15, 2002 8:39 pm

Generic Plot outline for any movie based from a game is:

Main actor will not die, everyone else will.
Main boss won't die, to preserve chance for sequel.

Spazmo · Post by **Spazmo** » Mon Jul 15, 2002 11:11 pm

Yeah, but this time it's NEW and EXCITING! Mad Max is good, but it doesn't quite have that Fallout feel. I mean, if a Fallout game were to have a bunch of working vehicles in it like Mad Max does, the community would be up in arms. Oh wait... They *did* make a Fallout game with tons of working vehicles and the community *was* up in arms...

Well yeah, Haplo. I don't they are ever going to make a FO movie, and I really would not want them to either. But it is fun thinking about who would be in it..

VasikkA · Post by **VasikkA** » Tue Jul 16, 2002 4:46 pm

Don't say that S_M. Movies have been made from crappier games too, Mortal Kombat, Wing Commander etc.. If FO3 gets enough publicity you never know. The setting would be new and interesting, kinda like Mad Max but different.

Uhm...I saw a movie called "fallout", I picked it up at a video shop. Glancing at the description on the back and saw "nuclear holocaust...", so what loyal Fallout (game) fan wouldn't pick it up?

Soon I would find the error of my ways... it's basically a very low budget movie that takes place in a fallout shelter, there isn't a single scene of the outside (they couldn't even open their pockets to get some real footage of the New Mexico bomb tests). Probably made by college students for a mid-term film class. The story starts like this; 6 or 7 people enter a fallout shelter after nuclear war happens, 3 women 4 men (something like that).

Anyway the story unfolds slowly (very slowly, hard to stay awake through the first half), the people are from all diffrent walks of life (college student, older business owner, up-and-coming young business professional, thug...)

Eventually the plot 'thickens' and the people start getting paranoid, accusing eachother of stealing rations, sleeping with another mans wife etc.. Eventually all the dudes in the shelter get laid by the women (women turn into complete tricks after nuclear holocaust I guess

). And some of the people get shot, I think there was supposed to be a twist ending where the nuclear war never happened (a faulty raid siren or some b.s.) but you wouldn't really care cause the acting was so bad and none of the characters had redeeming values anyway...

So I guess my point is they couldn't use 'fallout' as a name lest they provoke copyright infringment. Was at my local video shop for like a week then dissapeared (thankfully). This story should be in the boo-hoo forum...as I wanted to cry after it was over 8O

Let me guess, you found this movie in the pr0n section?

Sounds fun, I'd rent it.
