#1

Well as you read what actor do you think would make a great Duke in the movie? Dolph Lundgren and Ron Perlman, would I think be great.......20 years ago.

There have already been lots of threads like this one, and no matter who we suggest it won't change who's going to be in the movie.

With Hollywood's current tending of so-so action starts it would be somebody like Shia LeBeouf, The Rock, or some guy from a TV show like Prison Break. Most likely they'd pick The Rock just like for the Doom movie.

I hope none of that is true when it starts production.

Dolph Lundgren would still be great, have you seen any of his recent movies? Also, Duke's older now as well (or at least he were a couple of years ago).

Dolph - nope not gonna happen

Any previous Action movie actor - probably not.
Since the budget is small compared to other action movies, they will have no choice but to pick someone up who is relatively unknown and willing to work for a lower wage.

I personally don't care who plays duke as long as he looks the part and gets into character properly.
However I have one condition.

If they pick some moron like Robert Pattinson- I'm gonna get medieval on their asses.

*shudders over thought of Robert Pattinson and then vomits* Good point. Though as I said Ron Perlman WOULD be spot on perfect in every way if he turned the nastiness a bit...............30 years ago.

They should make a Duke Nukem movie in style with The Unforgiven or The Dark Knight Returns with Kurt Russel as Duke. ;)

I've actually been working on a similar feature film script based on this idea for quite some time.

Dolph Lundgren minus 15 years would be perfect for me. While being the only possible Hellboy, Ron Perlman reminds me too much of the primitive characters he played in 'La Guerre du feu' and 'Der Name der Rose' otherwise.
Anyway, I don't think that a Duke Nukem movie would be a good idea. There is not enough story to tell besides the killing. Most video game based movies I have seen are a complete mess. (Max Payne was OK for me but I have not played the game yet.)
Now, IF a Duke movie is to be made, should we hope or fear that Uwe Boll might be the director?

I didn't say it was great, I said it was "pretty cool".
Anyway, I think the style might work for Duke.

What actor would look like Duke or what actor would be best for a Duke Nukem movie?
If you are thinking about a movie, then I think no actor should ever be allowed to play Duke Nukem, because no actor would be able to talk with John St Johns voice.
Also, a Duke Nukem movie would imply that Duke talks more than just 20 one liners right? If Duke starts talking too much, he would stop being Duke I guess.
But I do have an idea here, at how a Duke Nukem movie would work!
His face could be computer generated over a real actor or stuntman's body and play through the entire movie being voiced by John St John and have his mouth lip synced to john st john's voice.
In the new movie Tron Legacy, they've made a Jeff Bridges clone character that looks 40 and plays through the entire movie! They achieved that, by computer generating his face from scratch and turning it into a 3d mask and adding it on top of a younger actor's body.
When he talks, the real Jeff Bridges voices that younger computer generated face mask of hisemlf and the entire shit becomes very credible and looks phenomenal (though to a trained eye, it's still pretty easy to notice what's happened there)
Here, take a look at his face in this trailer to see how good this tech works.

I really want to see such a thing used in future movies made after games.

I really like this idea.

Also, someone who says Expendables sucked has no bearing on what makes a good actor for Duke Nukem.
