Who should be George Stobbart?
 

Man ... I can't express how much this acutally excites me.

This has potential to be a real champion at the cinema, as the game has a good solid story, and a protagonist that can be endearing to all types of audiences.

But it does beg the inevitable question ...

Just WHO do you think is fit to play Mr Stobbart?

I'm going to take some time to think on this and come back with an answer.

But ... I'm getting good vibes from this deal. Shadow of the Templars brings in a lot of elements that have proven successful on the big screen in the past, and if done right, could make for a real enjoyable romp!!

I feel both this, and the Prince of Persia series, could really change the way people view game - movie adaptions...

David Spade!

I know he's not who people first would think of, but I want a quirky Stobbart, who isn't overly handsome or buff..

Don't really know about the others, but I don't want the girl from The Da Vinci code, it was so fake!

and then there is the museums quarator, and the police inspector..

Josh Holloway from Lost kind of looks like George, and seeing him work out the puzzle in the cage could have been George.

Michael Shanks from SG-1 can play someone with the same temperament as George. Perhaps some of MacGyver (RDA) brushed off on him.

The best person I can think of to play George from the period of Shadow of the Templars is Jesse Spencer from House, just has to gain an American accent like Hugh Laurie.

Does that mean...can it be? *checks news at the top of page*


OH MY GOD, IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!

I think David Spade is a good choice, though Jesse Spencer sounds good too. But I'll go for Spade, as when I saw that picture, I thought he looks incredibly like George. And if he's quirky, that's good.

Josh Holloway ws kinda who I was thinking of.

It must be the floppy hair.

And if it wasn't for that crappy Da Vinci Code I would have said Audrey Tatou was perfect for Nico.

Mmm, I think Eva Green should be Nico. She's both intelligent and sultry.

David actually sounds kind good for George, imagine the awesome dynamics between him and Green.

David Spade is too David Spadey. And it'd be known as another David Spade movie, rather than The Broken Sword movie.

Spencer looks like a good fit, but you're right about the accent. Eva Green sounds good too.

Oh yes, definitely.
I don't know who he is, so I have no idea what it means, but the word "Spadey" made me laugh. I don't know why.
All the actors mentioned so far at some point have, I think it's a requirement.

I was gonna say Owen Wilson but perhaps not.

Still, he could be a great bumbling compliment to Eva Green.

Being the champion of ignorants here, can someone please explain who George Stobbart is?

THAT is for being a lazy doofus and not looking it up yourself.

The main character in the Broken Sword series of adventure games which, like you, I've never played.

EDIT: trep beat me to it. :D

Noooooo! I don't get what people see in Own Wilson and he talks really funny/strange too. He would ruin the cute George Stobbart.

I agree :D [/HORNY TEENAGER]

Bill Pullman.

Okay, sorry, I've played BS3.

How about Ron Pearlman, or Mickey Rourke?

Erm..... http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/corky/corkysm79.gif

Ron Pearlman is great. He's a diverse actor with the appropriate physique. I think he would do a fine job.

You have to be realistic, though, Specksie. Though personally I like his unique look and his talent, Pearlman will never have the classic handsome guy face to merit the box office sales of a leading man. That's how the industry works. *shrug*

Maybe people with an elbow fetish are attracted to that thing in the middle of his face, he calls a nose. ;)
