Write Rupert Everett to play any role you want. I don't care. I love that guy :)
OK sure, if I see his e mail or his agent's I'll write him. Anyone have any suggestions for what part for him?

It's sad but I can see him playing Geese. And who would you cast as Iori?
I'm mostly familiar with English film makers. I watch a lot of HK stuff too. I think Iori would need an actor that has shown he can do ..um.. "slickness". There aren't any English films I can think of with any characters like that, other than some older films. Other people have suggested Andy Lao before for the part.
Another way to cast it is to cast the character Iori is now. Look at the progression of the character. He starts out like this cool looking Orochi Assasin, but then years and years of never being able to beat Kyo or change his clothes. Look at his art from each year to year. He gets more and more depressed and unhappy and misrable looking. Look at his 2002 picture. He's just an ass now that impersonates Elvis. Now I can come up with a few English actors to play him.
I'm not knocking English speakers or actors or film; just saying that no slick characters that from recent English films come to mind, that would show some evidance that someone could play 95-96 Iori. Sure, there's got to be some English actors that would do a good job or even look something like Yagami. If anyone has any suggestions for actors English or otherwise please share.

Heh,who would we use to cast Kula? Nicole Kidman? Or how about Arnold Schwarzeneger as Maxima,Jude Law as Billy Kane,Millia JoJovich as King,Lucy Liu as Mai Shiranui,Halle Berry as Foxy,Cameron Diaz as Blue Mary?
Heh,the list goes on and on(this is kind of fun).
The way I would cast it, personally I'd try and get actors that looked close to the age the characters are supposed to be. The Film could be set anywhere from the first KoF to now, or a KoF in the near future. Nicole might be good as Kula, but is probably too old to play Kula at Kula's current age. Hmm casting is hard no? Suggestions? I would think Hollywood would use some young TV actress off the WB or something like that, who we'd probably not think was appropriate. But who knows, maybe there is such an actress already perfect for Kula.
Arnold Schwarzeneger is so cool that I think no one would mind Maxima having an Austrian accent. The cast doesn't have to be perfect or super "true to" the original game, but we can get close. Maxima could have an Austrian accent or be germanic in addition to him being from Canada. Sure why not? Maybe Arnold can talk with a Canada accent, he's an actor after all.
How about Arnold for Heidern?
man, long postings. ^_^

Um, what? I don't see any of them playing those roles (Cameron Diaz couldn't play my beloved Blue Mary!). Lucy Liu as Mai? Um...not gonna touch that one. Or the rest. Though I've said before, and will say it again now, the only person I think could and should play Billy (and would look like him) is James Marsters.
I personally would like to see a KoF anime, or maybe even some OVAs would work better, but I don't know how KoF would work as a live-action movie. Not that it couldn't work as far as the fights and such, I still think they could fight just like in the games, but the cast would be very large and all characters would take a backseat to team Japan (especially to Kyo) and to Iori and his team.

Geez,H.W.,don't get defensive. 
I was just clowning around.
Anyway,don't know who James Marsters is.

I just take type-casting very seriously. Also I was kinda tired at the time, and I actually was checking back now to apologize if I came off as a jerk. I was just trying to say I didn't think those would work at all. James Marsters is Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He isn't british, but Spike is, and he pulls it off so nicely I use to think he was british 'til I learned more about him.

I have to admit.. I take casting pretty seriously too. For someone to be perfect for a role, they not only have to look appropriate but also sport the right voice and movements. Of course.. the movements are all in the acting.. but someone who can't act wouldn't be able to do it. ^_^;
And he's not British? o_O Dude! (Not.. err.. that I've ever watched Buffy. Actually, I've only seen part of one episode.)
If you ever hear how he really speaks it'll blow you away. I have the first and second seasons of Buffy on DVD and I was watching some of the extras on the second season DVDs and hearing him talk was odd because he sounds nothing like he does on the show. He is my choice for a Garou Densetsu/Fatal Fury movie though, which I think could be done good. I'm unsure how a KoF live-action movie would come off...to get the whole story, you'd have to make more than one (which means the first one would have to be good and make some money) or you'd have to compact the entire Orochi story into one movie (which would be hard to put Rugal and Goenitz and Orochi and everything into one movie). Of course, the other thing is it could just be based on the first game, 94' (which wouldn't have Iori) or would more be based on the second game, 95' (or a mixture of the two).

Ellen Degeneres=ugly
King=pretty
I don't think Ellen is that "ugly", nor is King so "pretty" DeGeneres couldn't play her (and it doesn't matter that Ellen's gay, Anne Heache played many, many straight characters while she was with Ellen, and despite thinking she's a space-lady Anne still gets cast as "sane" people too)... If I was casting King, I'd pick Ellen, just because I think King would have a sense of humor and the hair's a good match.
quote:
No matter what anyone else says, I do not think King looks anything like Ellen, except they both have short blonde hair. Millia Jovovich could possibly work.
Um,
Millia Jovovich=stupid bitch
King=badass
plus Jovovich is already in Resident Evil: the movie (and RE2:the movie) and is the front runner to play the title role in American McGee's Alice.... so casting her is like asking for the "stupid game to movie" curse to hit you.
