Alright. If you could cast an FF7 movie, who would you cast (using known actors)? Ideally, I think the movie (or trilogy... or quarter... or quintet) would have plenty of virtual unknowns, but just for fun who would you cast? Here's my list.

Cloud... Robert Pattinson
Sephiroth... Clive Owen
Aeris... Rachel Weisz *
Tifa... Alexis Bledel **
Barret... Ving Rhames
Marlene... Abigail Breslin ***
Red XIII... (voiced by) Wes Studi
Vincent... Viggo Mortensen
Yuffie... Devon Aoki
Cait Sith... (voiced by) Hank Azaria
Cid... Daniel Craig
Shera... Glenne Headly
Elmyra... Julie Walters
Rufus... Crispin Glover
Pres. Shinra... Anthony Hopkins
Tseng... Liam Neeson
Reno... Owen Wilson ****
Rude... Vin Diesel
Elena... Clea Duvall
Reeve... Alan Rickman
Prof. Hojo... Willem Dafoe
Heidegger... Paul Sorvino
Scarlet... Helena Bonham Carter
Palmer... Timothy Spall
Dio... The Rock / Dwayne Johnson
Don Corneo... Robbie Coltrane
Bugenhagen... (voiced by) Russell Means
Zangan... Jeremy Irons
Zack... Mike Vogel
Jenova... (voiced by) Angelina Jolie *****

Keira Knightley as Aeris....As much as i love Rachel Weisz, she may be abit too old for the role of Aeris.

Don Connero should be Danny Devito. Everytime I see him I think of Danny for some reason.

I also imagine Mandy Moore as Areris. Wasn't she the voice in KH? Anyway I think the rest are pretty good.

EDIT: Take that back. When did the game show Jenova with a voice and why would it be Angelina Jolie. That's just wrong in my opinion.

She had one line: "Beacause you are a puppet" (spelling error and all)

  • I love Rachel Weisz as Aeris, but I think the age gap might be obvious.
    • Think Alexis Bledel as Becky in Sin City, not from Gilmore Girls.
      • I can't think of another child actor. And I didn't want Dakota Fanning.
        • I hate Owen Wilson, but who else is sassy and cool?
          • After seeing Beowulf, I'm convinced she could do it.

Devon Aoki as Yuffie? ...No. She looks nothing like her.
I thought Rachel Leigh Cook looked like Yuffie back when she did She's All That.
