Akavari Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 So how would you guys feel, regardless of setting, playing as Jason Statham in the next gta? he's all around badass and doesn't take sh*t from no one. He doesn't need a background, he can just work for mobs and gangs right off the bat because he's f*cking Jason Statham. I mean if you had the chance to hire Jason Statham to kill someone, wouldn't you? He gets the job done and comes out looking like a sexy, chiseled, alpha male badass.

iamanevilbastard Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Oh, ok then. Yeah, its a good idea, 'specially if its anything like crank or the transporter series. or a kickarse cross between elements of the two.

The Horror Is Alive Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 wasnt there a topic exactly like this one? Yep, there was. I've already said it would be awesome because I appreciate Crank's wackiness, but I'm sure it would be shunned by a lot of critics.

Akavari Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Can Chuck Norris act? No. He just beats people's asses like Jason Statham does. He looks the same and acts the same because that's the character people want/expect to see from him. If he got a challenging role to play for once then maybe he could prove to be a better actor Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/429991-jason-statham-as-a-protagonist/#findComment-1059593099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Steven Seagal GTA protagonist ftw. Yeah, that would be fun.

BVJ Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 He was a good actor before he went to hollywood - in Lock Stock and Snatch he showed some great comic turns - but has then been typecast ever since crossing the pond. Excellent choice for a gta lead character though, especially if in London (in which case they'd have to get Vinnie Jones and Danny Dyer involved too).

zeppelincheetah Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 if they ever make a GTA movie then yes Jasan Statham is perfect. In game though I think his voice would be more suited as a sidekick or boss.

Master Sima Yi Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I would actually want Madonna as the next protagonist, but what the hell, Jason Statham's also good. I've been thinking about it too. When watching Crank 2, that is. After I've watched Fast and Furious and some MC: L.A. gameplay I would also want a GTA game (DLC) to focus around an illegal street racer. Perhaps in Los Santos.

AnotherDave Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm not quite sure what Jason Statham is, but whatever it is isn't good. BVJ is right, before Hollywood he was okay, but now he's on a par with the god awful Vin Diesel.

maxopower Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I will shout myself if Jason Statham get to play in a GTA game. He plays as shi-t, and his characters are unable to evolve, which is very important for a GTA protagonist. Jason Statham is very high on my list of bad action heroes. Yes more Hollywood actors could do the series good, but it have to be the right people, like: Danny DeVito or Bruce Willis, but not as the main character.
