I saw a post dejanews about how SMAC and Homeworld would make decent movies. Hmmm...
If there ever was a SMAC movie to be made who do you think would be good as the faction leaders?
I'm kind of at a loss. But I'd like to see Salma Hayek as Santiago, only because she's unbelievably hot.

Hmmm....Brent Spiner is a fine actor, but he looks kind of young for Zak..at least to me. Still, I don't doubt he'd make a good Zak.
James Earl Jones as Morgan? How about Sidney Poiteir? (I probably spelled that wrong)
Glenn Close would make an excellent Miriam!

Rush Limbaugh and Janet Reno would make an excellent Marr and H'minee, respectively 
On a more serious note, Morgan Freeman would make a good Lal.

What about Samuel L. Jackson as Morgan? Just give his bald head a wig.
Svensgaard is supposedly American.
I think if you gave Spinder a wig, the glasses, adn good makeup work he would be the perfect Zakharov.
Jeanne D'Arc was Leelee Sobieski.

Here are my picks:
Zak - I like Geoffery Rush for this role. He's a damn fine actor (note his range in "Shine", "Elizabeth" (as Walsingham), and Shakespear in Love".)
Miriam - I'll go with Ogie's choice of Susan Sarandon for this one. Glenn Close would probably play it a little too over the top for me. The role calls for a little more subtlety to keep it interesting, as Miriam's politics are odious enough to make her a caricature if one is not careful. Meryl Streep would be a good alternate.
Morgan - I like Samuel L. Jackson or Laurence Fishburne. Most of the other actors mentioned are excellent, but too old.
Yang - I thought long and hard about this one, and really couldn't come up with anyone. Why aren't there more english speaking Asian actors of note? In a pinch I suppose Gary Oldham could do it. He was excellent in the "The 5th Element" as Zorg, and can make a heavily made up character come alive. He does creepy right.
Sven - Definitely Brad Pitt. He's such a hunk that it is easy to forget what an excellent actor he is. (Check out "12 monkeys" or "True Romance" to see what I mean.)
Cheese Dong - I like Edward Norton for this role. He's such a good weasel! (See "Primal Fear", or "Rounders" or "American History X") Di Caprio has the androgony thing going for him, but is too tall to portray Cheese Dong IMO.
Aki - I like Ogie's choice of Luc Besson's wife Milla Jovanovich, who recently starred in "The Messenger" as Jeanne d'Arc. (That is who you meant isn't it Ogie?) Unbelievebly hot, and exotic enough to do the role justice. (Check out "The 5th Element")
Santiago - Well Jenifer Lopez has the weapons experience  , but probably isn't angular enough to do a good Santiago. Denise Richards is plenty hot, and looks more like Santiago, but I'm not convinced that she can really act. Selma Hayek is plenty hot as well, but suffers from Jennifer Lopez's lack of angularity as well as suspect acting quality. I'll take a pass on this one.
Lal - Ben Kingsly would be great, though he may resent being typecast. I suspect that Val Kilmer could pull off this role with ease, soley with his immense talent, as could Brad Pitt.
Domai - A lot of actors could do well here. I like Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson or even John Malkovich.
Roz - Whoopi Goldberg doesn't bear much resemblence, but her personality is about right IMO. Perhaps Halle Berry.

Pat Mora for Yang.
I thought Leelee Sobieski was Jeanne D'Arc in at least one film.

What about Haley Joel-Osmond (sp?) as Cha Dawn. We would jsut need to make him look Oriental.
Halle Berry is a great Sinder Roze.
I think Pitt is to young to play Svensgaard personally.
Robert Beltran would make a great Domai, I think.

In a previous post about all this, I voted for what's'erface... uh... Andy MacDowell (sp?) for Deirdre, but I also now think Ashley Judd would be great... she has this warm, earth-mother vibe to her, but also (as we've seen) a vicious streak. She's the one, I think.

What format would a movie take. Would it be just the original factions or would the SMAX faction s be used. It would be one or the other since the original factions don't really appear in SMAX. One idea would be to tell the story of the Unity (as described on the Firaxis website) It might be dificult to come up with a plotline that takes place on Planet that mainstream moviegoers could understand

Vel:
If you mean Marina Sirtis, I agree- she fits the part well.
I'm not entirely sure about this, but I'd recommend Chow Yun-fat for the role of Yang.
Jeri Ryan might also make a good Aki

How about
Zak : Brent Spiner (the role he played in ID4)
Lal : Ben Kingsley
Morgan : Denzel Washington
Miriam : Glenn Close
Santiago : Jennifer Lopez or Selma Hayek
Yang : I dunno, (Jackie Chan maybe?)
Deidre : Vel is right, Marina Sitis would be a perfect Deidre
If we are going with the SMAX factions how about
Domai : Mel Gibson
Sven : Kevin Cosner (or maybe not because he hasn't had a decent movie since "Dances with Wolves")
Aki : Jeri Ryan (the character is obviously intended to be like Seven of Nine)
Roze : Someone else suggested Halle Berry (good idea)
Cha Dawn : I dunno (how about the kid from 6th sense)

Well, the aliens would be computer-generated special effects (like Species 8472 from Voyager), except for Marr and H'minee, who, as I said before, would preferably be played by Rush Limbaugh and Janet Reno, respectively
