*Tony Montana* Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Well I was just downstairs smokin a bong listening to the radio when at 7pmET that lousy TRL Carson Daly radio show came on. I don't know if anyone else has this on their radio station or not, I think its nationally broadcasted. (point being if you live on the west coast, listen to it if you see this in time) Anyways, Carson started yappin about Eminem before his song came on and he said that there is a good chance that Eminem will be in 2 movies within a year or two. One being some highschool football movie and another being the Grand Theft Auto Movie. Carson said he would play the lead role. Eminem has been talked to by people about doing the movie and all that. However Carson "the puke" Daly said that not very much at all of even the script is completed yet. Personally I think Eminem would be a great person to play the lead role. I know that there are some people who just cant stand him, but what do you guys think. This isn't no my brother's friend's uncle's kid's granmother told me....its a pretty credible source. EDIT - I don't know if I made this point clear or not but Eminem did not verbally commit to the movie...its a little early for that but I guess he is first on the list.

ThUg AnGeL Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 That'd be awesome to have Eminem in GTA! I think he's a really good actor myself, but that's just from 8 Mile, I love that movie f*ck y'all if you doubt me, i'm a f*ckin' hood i say it proudly i'm running backwards, watching my life wave me goodbye $$H FOREVER GO HEELS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotring887 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 didnt see or want to see 8 mile. i think they should choose someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN_F83 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I don't like eminem, but I don't hate him. I don't want him to be in GTA movie though. He's not right - they should just use the people who did the voices. Ray Liotta would be great in it. (he did to Tommy's voice, right?) I don't think they should bother making a movie of it yet, not till after San Andreas at least. When/if they do - they better not do what Doom is apparently doing - making it a PG13 or some sh*t rating for little kiddies. I want all the violence + controversy from the game. And a decent story - if it's some overblown blockbuster they stick their film - it can be a big film - but it better be good too. Not something aimed at little teenage boys - those films suck. They should use better known actors though. Even if eminem is big - he's not a proper actor, this should be a film about gta - with eminem in it - it'll be about him, and him becoming a bigger film star.

mer cinder Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I doubt a movie would be good for GTA.... The GTA universe is something that should be experienced and explored by yourself.... not viewed on a movie screen. Unless your playing it on a movie screen... That would be a hoot!

fredward Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 true, but if anyone should play the part, robert denero would fit the part well, or pachino. either would rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Tony Montana* Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 See it will matter on which GTA they want to portray it on. Then it will come down to the "age" of the actor/character. While Ray Liotta, Al Pacino, and Robert DeNiro are some of the best actors of our time, they would be too old for the part. I could but then again I couldn't pictures those three runnin around and pullin people out of cars and all that sh*t. It just seems to me like they would need a younger actor. And what really sucks is, that all the newer age actors that have came out are a bunch of sissies. So who knows. I don't care for him really at all but somehow I could see Vin Diesel playing a good part also. His acting style is a little lame and off color though.

AxER Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I think, if they do end up making a movie, Marshall Matthers (Eminem) would be good for the part. He acted well in 8-mile and he already has a hole Gansta (not as in mafia Gansta but illegal goings on tough guy) image from his rap reputation and the movie. I could definetly see Marshall running around pulling people out of cars and shooting at the cops. Although it'd be stupid if his hair was still bleached. Al Pachino and Robert DeNiro, as stated in a previous post, are too old. Although Ray Liota did Tommy's voice (and did it well) I don't think he has the right look.

D@3mOniT3 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I don't think Eminem would be good for the lead actor of a GTA movie, he's not that type. He was great in 8-mile mainly because it was a allusion to his own life. He is definitely talented, but i can't see him playing this part. who knows tho, maybe he'll prove me wrong.

Krayzied Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Man fuk that b*tch-boy are you serious? That would RUIN my GTA games forever, Eminem having ANYTHING to do with GTA...that just sucks. I'd rather see Pee Wee Herman as the lead character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexX Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 As said before, it would depend which GTA game, if any, the movie is based on. if its VC, then Ray Liotta would be fine, he's not THAT OLD, and its not like Tommy Vercetti is real young either. If its gta3, then i think eminem is an OK choice, but they would need to do something about his hair color and wigger-ish accent. Anyway, DeNiro or Pacino could easily play the mob BOSSES, which would be sweet. If there isnt a director for it yet, i think Quentin Tarantino could make an excellent version.

Uno Carb Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 true, but if anyone should play the part, robert denero would fit the part well, or pachino. either would rule. Those guys are like 50 years old now. They would be good for the part 25 years ago. BTW, Eminem would suck at a lead GTA role. God I hate him...

DexX Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 BTW, Eminem would suck at a lead GTA role. God I hate him... NO ONE should be saying how much he would suck in ANY role, since we only have one movie to judge him by. And there would be other contributing factors, like the script for instance, and the ppl he would have to act with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyLeone25 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I think Vin Diesel would play the part well & maybe Denero as Salvatore Leone Anomalous Material.com <--> AMF Multiplayer Topic Join Quidco and get Cashback for buying things online!

niekkari Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I dont like Eminem. He isnt the best actor and he should NOT be in the Gta movie. Maby Keanu Reaves to the leading role! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Dude Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Tommy/Fido - Eminem/Vin Diesel Cortez - One of the old guys (what does cortez do, other than in All Hands on Deck, that'll throw his back out or sumsh*t?) Diaz - One of the fatter old guys There we have it. Maybe they won't even make it a live-action movie...maybe it'll be computer generated to make it look like Vice/GTA3. Then the old guys can be the voices. Keanu Reeves sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but if Keanu Reaves would somehow become the leading role I would burn all my gta games. He has a dumb, surfer, stoner accent to his voice. GOD IS HE ANNOYING! All I can picture is Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure...No wonder you don't like Eminem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonekeeper88 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 IN my opion i cant think anybody that really fits the bill to play a GTA guy i think it would be cool as anime type thing and i think if there was a gta movie they probably end up like gone in 60 seconds because the directors and whatnot would take the Grand Theft Auto title to far and forget about guns,drugs, and gangs (and also killing hundreds and hundreds of peds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN_F83 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 One thing that would really suck no matter which actor they used, is that everyone knows the GTA city's to minute detail. How would they recreate it? They can't build an entire city, so if they base it on one of the games it would be disappointing since it wouldn't be like the city in the game. I suppose they could get away with making it like Vice, but the landscape in GTA3 is too unique to recreate I think. I think De Niro + Pacino are a bit too mature for the role, but Liotta ain't that much younger, and he did really well in Narc which was similar to the gta world. And I suppose noone will forget Goodfellas They better not even think of using that eejit Colin Farrel - he's sh*te! Johnny Knoxville's great and all - but he can't act. Keanu isn't that bad, in the Matrix, but he really only plays one character.. which wouldn't work in GTA Vin Diesel might work in it, but I don't think he'd be best for the main character. Just thought about that- the other guy in Narc - Jason Patrick - he was pretty good in it - and might work... I'm liking the idea of a gta film a bit more, but I hope they get it right if they make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there isnt a director for it yet, i think Quentin Tarantino could make an excellent version. If the movie becomes that "big-named" it would be a good idea to have DeNiro or Pacino play bosses. I just thought about a couple things that I think would go good for the movie. The first is based on only if they go with Vice and have older actors. Obviously though, lance in only in vc. Anyways... 1. Lance - Samuel L Jackson Liberty City 1. Salvatore Leone - Robert DeNiro 2. Toni ( Momma's Restaurante' ) - Al Pacino or VICE versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i agree with the Liberty City side of the argument but Vice City and Miami are so much alike it sickens me. I would rather have them in Liberty and not have it perfectly replicated rather than a new city with new characters. It would be entertaining somewhat but then again it would probably be a little boring. It wouldn't have as big of an effect as if they based in in VC. And was the real deal.

Its not identical, but there are more than enough similarities. I've even seen photos of the city that i "recognize" from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D@3mOniT3 Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 and half the fun of the game is just walking around killing everyone in sight.. if they do that in a movie it will be the most boring sh*t ever, some dude walking around killing people for no apparent reason, f*ck that. there is no way a movie could come at all close to the greatness of the game, because like i said in another post, YOU control the guy in the game instead of just watching. if they did make a movie im sure it would be good and all, but it wouldnt be much different from any other action/gangster movie out there.

Lab Rat Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 the way i see it eminem (lead role) gets caught up between the chinese triads, and has to face the same kind of thing that happens in VC with sonny coming to kill him Jet Li- who else for the triad leader? he looked bad-ass in Lethal Weapon 4 Eminem- lead role Chris Rock- a lance-vance type character i can't think of any more actors/roles for the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
