"Disgust" suffices as an apt synonym.

It depends on how hot you find Angelina Jolie.

In my opinion, the Resident Evil trilogy (Resident Evil, RE: Apocalype, RE: Extinction) were all good.
And in my opinion, BloodRayne was decent.
Of course, these are only my opinion and other posters may have different taste.

Something could be done with the Rangerover Rick character mentioned by Morgan. So little was mentioned it could go anywhere, but I recommend it be the same movie that would be screened on Chiron. That means kinda campy(Bruce Campbell as Rangerover Rick?) and very propagandistic.

Okay. I have a list of cast members & a composer for SMAC: The Movie. Any comments & suggestions are welcome. I only thought up for the major characters. You can add minor charachter that aren't in the game if you like.
Just fill in the question marks if you like to cast a role for an actor or actress.

You know what, for those statements made by other members you want to post but don't want other members to quote the statement you posted in the post, just click the "Quote button" at the bottom part of the post.

Here's a hint

Here's a hint
Are you sure you're a real actor? Have you been to drama school?
I feel as if the only way you could make a good movie of SMAC would be as a movie version of the (very long) introduction story, about the collapse of the Unity. It actually could be really good, too.
I suppose you could then also make movies based on the novels (Centauri Dawn, Dragon Sun and Twilight of the Mind), but to have the whole thing end on such a negative note, the way Twilight of the Mind does...

For those who have never read the intro story:

("Saratov" is Zakharov, they changed the name shortly before the game was released because Saratov isn't a real Russian name.)

SLJ could play CEO Morgan. But that's assuming he can pull off an accent.

Dear lord! The hint was the bolded part, silly.

Rachel Weiss as Deirdra, no doubt about it.
Morgan Freeman as Morgan, obviously.
Zak.. hm. That's less obvious. I'll get back to you on that.
Michelle Rodriguez as Santiago. Penelope Cruz? Are you crazy? Santiago has to be a badass.
Yang.. are there any old asian guys in Hollywood? We might have to pick a no-name, there.
Alexander Siddig is my best guess for Pravin Lal. I can't think of any Indian actors, but his acting in Kingdom of Heaven and Syriana lead me to believe he'd do well.
And.. how about Susan Sarandon for Miriam? I bet she'd love that.
I think the prequel idea is a pretty good one, but the problem with that is there isn't a resolution at the end. Everyone just factions off and goes their seperate ways.
I think this would work best as a story about persueing transcendence, but not with reduced emphasis on the mind worms. The mind worms and increasing fungal activity are what force the point. Without those, there's no modivation and the plot just becomes a lame art-house flick.
The main problem I see with this is I have trouble seeing how you can introduce an audience to all this and then have a plot that spans several hundred years in the course of two (or even four) hours. You either have to cut out a lot of stuff, or just leave the audience in the dark about what most of what their talking about means.
I see this as being a better graphic novel or possibly TV show. I'm partial to Anime, and I think that would be the best approach. Whenever TV takes a SciFi concept and makes it into a series, you end up with a repackaged Star Trek. I think an Anime would have a better chance of approching it as a unique story, and not trying to fit it into a box. But, of course, that could still happen.
It's just that with American TV... it *will* happen. The SciFi channel would get it and it would just be another endless regurgitation of familiar themes.

I liked the first Resident Evil flick, they got progressively worse. Silent Hill was pretty . .. .. .. .ed up, but I never played the games.
