You’ve played Bioshock, right? -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:18 11
- Seen but not played, so I can't recall the characters well. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:19 9
  - Jack is like an early 20s Bautista - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:20 8
    - aha, though looking up info maybe Keanu is an older version. What about Jonah Hauer-King for younger Jack? -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:28 4
      - I can’t say anything more here, but you should play the game. You in particular will admire the story. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:30 3
        
        yes. and its probably available pretty cheap at this point. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:31 2
        
        Heck, even I played it -- nm - JD Feb 2, 12:33 1

    - "Okay, got it. We'll cast Tom Holland." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 12:22
    - Yeah, I was about to say…isn’t hea but too 90210’ish to play that character? - Will Hunting Feb 2, 12:22
    - Thinking out loud, he’s Brian Cage. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:22
- Hey, I get this reference -- nm - JD Feb 2, 12:19

- I know, but given that he's been in a game it doesn't seem like a stretch to capitalize on that and put him in a video game movie. -- (edited) - Max Feb 2, 12:16 8
  - considering you almost never see what you look like in Bioshock, Im not sure why it is an issue. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:27 7
    - Just because you don't see Gordon Freeman doesn't mean you can cast James Hong. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 12:38
    - The movie isn’t gonna be first person. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:28 5
      - Hardcore Henry producers say what -- nm - Max Feb 2, 12:32 1
        
        god what a glorious awesome mess that movie is. - Jovian Feb 2, 12:32
      - I would hope not! Otherwise why cast an A lister for that part. But I dont even remember the part where you see yourself? Ryan, Atlas and Fontaine are - Jovian Feb 2, 12:30 2
        
        What I’m saying is that the Netflix version will adopt the conventional protagonist narrative. So the Jack casting matters more followed by… - The Allfather Feb 2, 12:31 1
        
        Right I get that. Just unclear why you would dislike the casting based on the character from the game that you barely see. -- nm - Jovian Feb 2, 12:37
