In this game, we take computer games, video games, and tabletop games we know and love (well, okay, loving them is not mandatory) and anoint ourselves almighty casting director for when they get Hollywood's finest big-screen treatment!
Try to name every major character in your game (some "guesstimation" and situational eyeballing may be required for this) and cast whatever reasonably famous actor (if you think they might be a bit obscure, providing an IMDB or Wikipedia link or mentioning what they're known for is reasonable) you'd most want to see play the part in a live-action movie (if you predict a need for CGI motion capture for certain characters, we'll call that admissible).
You MAY cull a select cast for your vision of a movie from a wider pantheon of characters if you're dealing with a "cast of thousands" kind of affair (this is quite likely if you're proposing a movie based on a tabletop game setting).
Also, the actors ought to be presently alive, though some fudging for relatively recent deaths is permissible - I'd say Robin Williams (PBUH), George Carlin, and even Ricardo Montalban would be okay in this regard, but Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Lucille Ball would not.
Finally, you may supply some short commentary after certain entries if you have anything worth saying about certain roles.
Try to fill in other rules around the edges as needed, and PLEASE keep this in game form, practice restraint with regard to commenting on others' offerings, and try to avoid turning it into some kind of chat about showbiz.
I shall begin with the following:
The Forgotten Realms: The Movie!
STARRING:
Lucy Liu as Shar
Drew Barrymore as Chauntea
Angelina Jolie as Selune
Christopher Lloyd as Silvanus
Vin Diesel as Bane
John Cleese as Helm (you'd never see his face, bear in mind - also, NONE SHALL PASS!)
Ian McKellen as Talos
Matt Smith as Cyric
Ben Stiller as Kelemvor (think of how jarring it could be to see him in such a serious role)
John Rhys-Davies as Gond
Michael Crawford as Oghma
Robin Williams as Ilmater (I know, I know....)
Neil Patrick Harris as Mask
Natalie Portman as Mystra
Robert Z'Dar as Manshoon
Brent Spiner as Halaster (generously-bearded, of course - he's aged to the point of being fit for the role, and is capable of a a wonderful maniacal laugh)
Stephen Colbert as Drizzt
Johnny Depp as Volo
and
Sean Connery as Elminster!
