I do not know if anyone has already mentioned here, but Kate Beckinsale's character in Underworld is just a quotation of our number one cyborg.

What do you guys think?

Watched this movie several times, had the same thoughts.

However, face does not match at all... body constitution is different...
Also, she is tall...

BTW... have you noticed that when you are watching any movie you are subconsciously comparing actors' faces with... you know who... =///

She is! And I have never mentioned that sort of similarity.
The fact is that the way she moves and jumps shotting her pistols sends me to Alita/Gally. The clothes also do that.

1. She is different in many aspects. A quotation is not a simple immitation, remember?
2. No, I am not used to such comparisons.

Actually, I did not like the film. It is too stupid!!

well, hmmmm i really dont get this topic OO
If you are gonna compare fictional characters with alita, then makoto kusanagi from gis ftw

The point is not in comparing fictional characters, it is in comparing real actors, who could POSSIBLY play Alita.
The fact is that the way she moves and jumps shotting her pistols sends me to Alita/Gally. The clothes also do that.
When I watched this movie, i had only associations about appearance of actor, not about WHAT she acts.

When I watch any movie, and see someone looking similar, I start thinking "if she wouldn't be CG in upcoming movie (good it IS GG), this actor maybe will be able to play Alita... but, face is not similar enough... and so on".

Maybe I'm not right...

Face is completely different, I think Underworld actor has about 40% total similarity, and this photo is about 30%.

There are only two people to the moment that I've seen which have about 60% FACIAL match are Dany Verissimo (13th District - Lola) and Anna Gurji.

Verissimo:

Gurji:

But still both they dont' match... but close =///

Ellen Page as Alita

Summer Glau as Alita
Image

willem defoe as Desty Nova
Image

thierry henry as Vector

Andre 3000 could also work as Vector.

Who will be playing Hugo?

no way, crazyankan! Willem Dafoe is de facto Desty Nova. Definitely not Ido.

I always liked the idea of Paul Bettany as Ido:

Willem Defoe as Nova... +1, MATCHES PERFECTLY...

Oooops should have been Desty Nova :oops:
Need someone younger for Ido.
Paul Bettany could work, but it ain`t a perfect match.

mmm Lawrence Fishburn for Mbadi anyone?

No, First association with him - The Matrix. He mustn't play anywhere now.

Fishburne's actually the only actor I can think of right now that would make a great Trinidad. Forget if he reminds you of another character. His job is to become this character and make you believe it.

What was the name of a guy who played in "Enemy near the Gates" (not Jude Law - the other one). If you paint him into a blondy he'll look just like Ido in glasses.

Joseph Fiennes? Sure he'd look the part, but damn I hate him as an actor.

Unless you're talking about Ed Harris who isn't right for the part, although James Cameron has worked with him before.

Unless unless you're talking about Ron Perlman. Hahah.

I think that Samuel L. Jackson would be a great Vector. As to Aga Mbadi, maybe we could call Denzel Washington.

Ron Perlman... for Makaku... I'd shit some bricks if I saw him eating brains :)

In the movie I would too. In real life I would run away very fast.

i also think that good Makaku instead of Ron Perlman would be Mickey Rourke.. but Micke could also can be Colloseum Champion - Kinuba..

And Therry Anre DEFINITLY would not make a good Vector .. i would choose him for motorball player :D :D the some goes to all football players .. Samuel ROX 8)

For Disty Nova i would choose Jim Carrey..

As Gally i would choose Annasophia Robb ... i know its blasphemy .. but this girl can quite take on the rolle... no to young but not to old and not to big sex-symbol.. or i would make casting ..

Who do i think could play Zappan? or Esdog - Alitas motorball trainer ?
