Wow, I didn't think there would be so much support for Vin Diesel. I like his action flicks as much as the next guy, but I can't really see him playing Btech.

I'll vote Vin Diesel too, if only because the other alternatives seem out-of-place. He's the only one who seems credible for a good movie in the Btech universe. Although Russel Crowe might be able to play a Solaris VII Gladiator

Spike would make an Awsome Vlad Ward, Tommy Lee Johns as Hanse Davion, Kurt Russel as Adam Steiner, the guy who plays Saroman as Elias Crutchell (JF Khan during the invasion), Angelian Jolie as te current JF Khan (Can't think of her name), Russel Crow as Archer Cristiofori... can't think of anymore right now, but the guy who plays spike just seems right for Vlad Ward

Well if were going movie spots.
Tommy Lee Jones as either Hanse Davion or Grason Carlyle.
Harrison Ford as either Hanse Davion or Grason Carlyle.
For some reason I just see James Earl Jones as Jamie Wolf. I dont remember Wolf's description but it just seems to fit.
Jet Lee as Kai Allard Lio Or Justin Allard if were doing a old story line.
Cathrine Zeta Jones as Meryl Pryde (sp)
Brendan Frasher as Phelan Kell.
Chow Yun Fat As Theodor Kurita
Zhang Ziyi As Omi Kurita
Matt Damon as Victor (dont know whay that just seems to fit)
Ben Aflek as Victors aid (cant remember what his name is).
Sara Michelle Geller As Kathrine Stiner Davion (If you havent watched Crule Intentions Watch it WOW! she is EVIL!!)
NO, NOWAY, NOHOW, Shouldnt even be allowed on the set to visit their boyfriends. Angelina Jolie, "J-Lo". Im sorry but I just dont think a nice rack and tush make up for a complete lack of acting ability.
My opinion I know but after watching Tomb Raider the other night (Decent Movie, would have been much better with ANY one else in the role of Laura Croft). And after watching "J-Lo" in both Anaconda and some movie where she was a cop and fell in love with a amneia victium that she saved froma acar accident that you find out in a dream sequence, I was just unimpressed with BOTH of them. (Altho Anaconda would have been saved if she showed more flesh, Wait, no it was beyond saving)

Come on...wouldn't a slow-mo video clip of a Gauss rifle being shot and then speeding up to normal speed be cool?
(no, I didn't vote for him)

True. Go watch "Swordfish" and see how they do the ball bearing scene. Not overdone, but good enough to leave an impact.

I think Slythis has hit it right on here with his cast. THe Only person I think is missing is John Travolta. MAn he can be evil when he wants to. . .

I got an idea. How about Jack Nicholson as Alessandro Steiner? I think that fits very well.

No, I think the medium grad stars would work better, some name recognition but not the salary or the expectation.
I can not remeber most of their names but you always say I know that guy, or girl. Alan Rickman is known but would work, many others. Heck they may try harder. More than once I have seen a big star mail in a roll. Some new guys just suck.
AWAD- Look a movies like Silverado and Usual Suspects, launched a lot of big stars
