It was in response to Talismans post about the Taki actor not looking aggressive. I felt if i would have blinked or moved she would have taken me out
Soul Calibur: The Movie! ^-^

Scratch all of that aggressive BS that I said out. I really took a good look at Gatsu's Taki selection and she's quite nice!

That's not a bad choice for Voldo, but see, I was thinking John Malkovich. Just give him surgery to remove four of his ribs, and then give him a full year of 8 hour a day yoga and pilates classes.

Most likely any attempt at a live-action SC movie would probably go the way of the horrible 2010 live-action Tekken movie. I just dont have high hopes for such a feature. Why they even bother making attempts at live-action over the top video game adaptions is beyond me . After all, when a such a film is made, the rest of the franchise moves on wishing that the film was never made in the first place, removing it from canon (or never including it in the first place) and then finally make amends to their loyal but now forsaken fans for having betrayed them.
At this moment, I can only envision a SC film done right only if it is in CG with the same characters and setting from the game. Any live action attempt would probably only end in tears because most likely they would find a director who has no f*#kn clue what the game is about taking cues to make a film from an even clueless producer who probably only played the game once in his life and now suddenly is inspired to express his own lame dumbass ideas about what the movie should be about. Not that it can't be done right, but all too often, this is how it ends up on the big screen.
{Sarcastically speaking though} I think Sp1d3r has the best roster for an SC film =) since all the others mentioned are just well...

A CGI Soul Calibur movie it's impossible like a cross-over Street Fighter X Mortal Kombat (not only Soul Calibur, but which ever videogame)...
4 much as I can imagine, they will make it with human actors, or nothing...
kyrt
whatever
how the hell would a CGI of Soul Calibur be impossible...this entire comment makes no sense.

All that I wanted 2 say is that a CGI movie of Soul Calibur (or which other videogame) it's impossible, because film producer, R becoming 2 lazy 2 work on CGI, so, they prefer 2 make a movie with real life's actors...
Only Disney Pixar & Dreamworks, survive in CGI movies' business...

Resident Evil Degenration was done real well. Its just the lips weren't sync real good but the may have been perfect in Japanese

I still believe CGI is the way to go but hell I think an anime would work fine as well. This seems to be a common occurrence recently with video games. They receive either a CGI or anime film adaption. My evidence for this is Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dante's Inferno, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Halo, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, Tekken, and probably many others. I think that if SCV does well Namco might think about releasing a film with the next game or as a promotional to hype up the next game. I bet they could sell it if they did a film on what happened between the 17 years of SCIV and SCV.
Either way I do not see the company making a film with real life actors because it is much more expensive...it might not take as long but actors do not usually come cheap. There is also the problem with a live action film being in only one language...if it were a CGI or animation it would not cost nearly as much to hire voice actors to dub over whatever the film was originally made in.
When working with live-action you have to pay for the building, the workers (actors, custodians, set managers, lighting, sound, etc...), the costumes, the set, the props, it is time consuming, few actors would pick up a video game adaptation role based on previous statistics on how horribly they sell, etc... It simply is more cost efficient in the long run to do an animation or cgi film rather than a live adaptation.

I would have to cast Mike Tyson as Zasalamel.... since he is, Zasalamel.
Jeez, really cool man... XD
However, it would B intresting a CGI movie (or animated movie) about a videogame (or an anime) ...

The most good video game adaptions i've seen have been animated:
Tekken
Street Fighter
Dead Space Downfall although
Dante's inferno was crap IMO.
Followed by CGI
Final Fantasy Advent Children although
The other FF movie,
Resident Evil Degeneration and
Dead Space 2nd movie (part CGI) were not that that good.
And Life action movies
Silent Hill was great
Tekken movie was partly great (Jin, Bryan) partly unvoluntarily funny (Heihachi) partly terrible (Kazuya, Law)
Every other movie i know was utter trash.
MKs except maybe the new series
Street Fighters
Alone in the Dark
Dead Or Alive (although it probably fits the game)
And i surely forgot some crappy life action adaptions.

Not to forget all the terrible shit we saw in the 90's. Yes, I'm looking at you, Mario and Street Fighter "movies".

To be perfectly honest I would rather see a Japanese OVA series like how Tales of Symphonia's story was animated in 10 segments, granted only 8 of those 10 segments are made and one segment is coming out every 3 month's but it has been a good ride. The studio really improved after the first two episodes.
Also Tales of Abyss made a fantastic adventure anime series that was 24, or was it 26 episodes long? It was really worth the watch!
Lastly of more recent namco anime, The IdolM@ster the animated series is filled with tons of energy ans is cute! You can watch that at crunchyroll, the first episode was awkward though, it picked up and got it's style right after that!
