Sony Adapting inFamous Video Game

Sony is making a film of the electrifying PS3 exclusive game inFAMOUS. Also my cast for the film.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Avi and Ari Arad will produce the film.Sheldon Turner will script it.He has written The Longest Yard remake and Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Beginning,He's also writing his own comicbook for Top Cow called "Warrior".

"What excited me most about the game was it was the first of which I've come across that had a big idea and a character arc," Turner said. "It is, I believe, the future of gaming. The game, while big and fun, is at its core a love ballad to the underachiever, which is what our hero, Cole McGrath, is."

The game is about an everyday bike messenger named Cole Mcgrath who recieves a mysterious package that turns out to be a bomb which explodes and wipes out six city blocks.He somehows survives the blast and transforms into a lightening-powered bad-ass.He then has to defend the city from three gangs and there super powered bosses.And soon uncovers a conspiracy.
Also in the game you could either turn Good or Bad.Theyre probaly taking the Good route

I enjoyed the game and its comicbook style.If you own a PS3 you should deffinetly get it.

Now for Casting!!!:


Sam Worthington as Cole Mcgrath -





He looks alot like Cole ,if he cuts his hair short.


Dan Fogler as Zeke -





Zeke is Cole's right hand man after the explosion he becomes impressed and jealous of Cole's powers.
He is mostly comic relief.

Kristen Bell as Trish -

Trish is a doctor and Cole's girlfriend at the start of the game, but after the explosion she rejects him accusing him of causing her sister's death.

Rosario Dawson as Moya -





Shortly after the explosion, Cole meets with FBI agent Moya, who assigns him missions to complete in Empire City in hopes of finding her husband John a fellow agent.Really hard to find a non-sexy pic of Rosario.LOL!

Edi Gathegi as John White -





John is an NSA agent who was trapped in the city while investigating a case when the quarantine was enacted and has left numerous encoded messages on satellite receivers.He is moya's wife.

Natalie Portman as Sasha -





Sasha is a scorned lover, trying to earn Cole's romance, but has the ability to use a tar-like plague-inducing substance to control the minds of others, and is in control of the Reaper gang of the Neon District.Based on her apperance in V for Vendata she looks perfect.

Ben Kingsley as Alden -





Alden is a wizened old man with powerful telekinesis abilities that leads the Dustman gang in the Warren District as well as mechanical golems under his control to try to fight the First Sons, an ancient fraternal organization that works out of the Historical District.


Hugh Laurie as Kessler -






Kessler, a man with many super powers including abilities similar to Cole, controls the First Sons, using them to seek out Cole and the Ray Sphere, the device that caused the explosion in Empire City.He is Cole's Archenemy.If they can make him a little older he would look perfect.



And thats that.


Sound off in the Comment Section.





Oh and play inFAMOUS it's awesome.

HOLY SHIT!!!! BEST NEWS IN MONTHS!!!!! GREAT CASTING TOO :))

But i'd go for Angelina Jolie as Sasha:



And Jason Isaacs as Kessler!!!



Worthington would be PERFECT for Cole. Cole looks as if he was modeled after Sam LOL :P

Oh yeah, InFAMOUS!!!! BEST DAMN GAME YET ON PS3!!!

I didnt want to go with Jolie because shes too mainstream and thanks for the pick of kessler.

Sam worthington........havnt even seen one of his movies and I'm ALREADY sick of him. Im pretty sure hes been in cast in about 90% of the fancasts on this website lol

LEEE777 - 7/31/2009, 11:37 AM
No divo @ That's ACKLES!!! ; D

So this isn't the real cast then lol?

SAM would be good in this but make a much better CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!

InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 11:38 AM
Yeah but he looks good for the role and the only good thing that came out of Terminator:Salvation was Sam Worthington good acting in that movie

True, she is VERY mainstream. But she's darker and hotter than Nat. Hell even Bell would be perfect for Sasha. Oh wait, i remember a total nutt job that could play Sasha PERFECTLY!!!

Fairuza Balk (if that's her real name)

Who's she

Phoenix9109
Phoenix9109 - 7/31/2009, 11:48 AM
Probably going to be crap. Most movies based on games are.
Also, I strongly say NO to Worthington being in this movie. He's got better things to be doing. (like being Captain America)
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 11:54 AM
Phoenix@Yeah most movies sre but its by SONY they made the game and theyre making the movie which means there going to have SukerPunch,thedeveloper,on the set.And Avi and Ari Arad are producing ,they produced many other comicbookmovies from marvel so I have High Hopes.Also it's a Super-Hero movie cant be that hard to adapt.And I think they should make it a trilogy.

gunna flop like a Uwe Boll movie, stuff like this so rarely works.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/31/2009, 12:05 PM
Phoenix9109- Actually no, he's more fit for Cole than Cap. Honestly, i wanna know your reasonning behind it. What would make Worthington bad for the role of Cole.

InSpace- They don't have enough meat for a trilogy. A good stand alone 2hour film would be perfect. And Balk was the most evil witch in The Craft. She was Waterboy's girlfriend in Adam Sandler's film of the same name LOL :P
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:06 PM
SoulAllFlush@Yeah and so did comicbookmovies but now comicbookmovies are one of the most money making films out there .And inFAMOUS is both a video game and a superhero
divo
divo - 7/31/2009, 12:07 PM
lmfao is that the girl from the waterboy!!!
Icemantong
Icemantong - 7/31/2009, 12:08 PM
Ever since I got the game I always imagined JASON STATHAM as Cole.....

What do u think?
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:12 PM
Shaman@Theres three villians thats too much for a stand-alone film just look at SM3.

Oh thts who she is ,dont you think she's a little old?And i didnt like her acting in Waterboy,and I never got to see the craft saw it on HBO once and on demand but I thought it was a girl version of that all boy witch craft movie I forgot what it was called

InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:13 PM
Icemantong@ Statham has the look sorta but doent have a good english accent.
kikaider85
kikaider85 - 7/31/2009, 12:13 PM
I like all of those except for Sam Worthington and Kirsten Bell. I like Dominic Purcell for Cole better. And I just don't like Kirsten Bell as an actor.
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:17 PM
Kikaider85@Dominic is a little too ....Beefy ,Coles a bike messenger not a wrestler and he's way too old ,he's almost 40.I was originally going to go with eliza dushku but I prefer Kristen better
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/31/2009, 12:20 PM
Inspace @ How about ACKLES?

Heh heh
Shaman
Shaman - 7/31/2009, 12:20 PM
InSpace- I just suggested her cause she's litterally a nuttjob!!! I think it would fit Sasha. I still stand by Angelina as my favorite for Sasha. And if the movie is done like Daredevil's director's cut, it will be good. That movie had three villains and it worked. It all depends on how much emphasys you put on each villain. I think that for the movie, Kessler should be the main villain and the other two would only be side villains. The storyline is bound to be altered anyway. DUDE!!! DOUCHEKU could be SASHA!!! :))

kikaider85- Dominic Purcel, Wentworth Miller, Sam Worthington, Christian Bale etc, etc, etc. They're ALL fine actors that could brilliantly portray Cole.
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:21 PM
LEEE@LOL! Nah, I want him for cap america
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:23 PM
Shaman@not really most of those actors are over 30, Cole is atleast in his 20's

@InSPACE-

Great article, and great pics! Job well done!


@SHAMAN-

GREAT JOB on the Fairuza Balk pick!!!


@ICEMANTONG-

I was playing the game thinking of Cole as Jason Statham too!
kikaider85
kikaider85 - 7/31/2009, 12:25 PM
InSpace@ lol ok then. how about lance armstrong? And I'd say Jessica Alba instead of Kirsten but I don't think she's a good actor either....guess we'll just have to see.

InSpace - 7/31/2009, 12:29 PM
kikaider85@LOL!Imagine......Lance Armstrong is....inFAMOUS

LOL!
Shaman
Shaman - 7/31/2009, 12:31 PM
Thanks Talontd!

InSpace- But Cole doesn't look 20, doesn't sound 20 and doesn't act 20. Neither does Sam Worthington. And if you want younger, Wentworth Miller is the youngest so far that looks very much like Cole.

It's hard to say if this movie would be good or not. I do like the cast so that alone would make it intresting to see however, video game movies seem to have a nasty curse on them. Prince of Persia is a great franchise and the set photos already seem disapointing. The only succesful franchise has been Resident Evil and even those movies can't stay true to the games. Hollywood always has to make their changes and don't even care about the outcome of the movie they've wasted money on. Its not hard to follow a story that's already there, its not like they are trying to rewrite 60 years of history like they have to with comic book films. If the game has only 8hrs. of game play, then the story should already be 2hrs. long. There really is no excuse that the movie should be written any differently.

retr0g0dfather@Like I said

"Yeah most movies sre but its by SONY they made the game and theyre making the movie which means there going to have SukerPunch,thedeveloper,on the set.And Avi and Ari Arad are producing ,they produced many other comicbookmovies from marvel so I have High Hopes.Also it's a Super-Hero movie cant be that hard to adapt."

Shaman@Me too I wish I had a Ray Sphere. LOL!

CRITIC17 - 7/31/2009, 12:54 PM
Shaman: Great casting choices. I have never played this game (I only have a 360, but might get a PS3), but I know enough about the game's story. Wentworth Miller probably would work better as Cole. He should play Cole, and then have Sam Worthington play Jack in the BioShock movie.

This would be a great movie. So would one of BioShock (if they ever get around to filming it).
Shaman
Shaman - 7/31/2009, 12:59 PM
Well, put it this way Critic, InFamous was the first game i ever bought for my PS3 and i'll never exchange it for ANYTHING!!! It's a keeper!!! And i'm a big trader so that means alot coming from me!!! The only other games i completely refuse to trade are Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven and Persona3!!! Haven't played BioShock but i'm not a "first person" kinda guy.

This movie would ROCK!!!
InSpace
InSpace - 7/31/2009, 1:13 PM
the critic17@Bioshock would totally rock.

You should get a ps3 free online.

Shaman@Bioshock is awesome you should get it it came out for the PS3. Cant wait till Bioshock2
