Castle Wolfenstein

[ehh]

Yeah, for sure, I could see Neal McDonough in the role.

Looking at the really old posts above, I think the premise sounds cheesier on paper. The cyborgs were creepy as hell and I think they could look really intimidating on film if done right.

Come on, if this thing was chasing you, wouldn't you **** your pants?

Spoiler

It really just comes down to execution. You don't want someone like Paul W.S. Anderson directing, otherwise you end up with the Resident Evil movies. You need someone who can turn this into a solid A-list film that doesn't feel like a bad video game adaptation. Not sure who I would pick, but it has to be someone who is good at both making strong action as well as horror and blending them together.

Also, I'd have to say that Return to Castle Wolfenstein is by far my favorite. Although I did very much enjoy Wolfenstein:The New Order, it did feel a little bland and unmemorable.

It should be based on Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Soldiers, zombies, cyborgs, oh my!

Most importantly - black leather blondes with stens.

A friend of mine started playing the game again recently and I thought, oh my gosh now would be a perfect time for a movie on this

Get Neil Marshall for this. Treat it like the old 60's/70's Sturgess/Aldritch WWII movies crossed with John Carpenter. Boom.

 

[Marvolo]

Get Paul Verhoeven to direct it.

 

[ehh]

Get Paul Verhoeven to direct it.

Actually yeah, I think he would be a good choice.

Oh goodness, imagine that in the 90's with Arnold as BJ fighting a stop motion ED-209 type Hitler monster.

Yeah but don't go too crazy. I think we've seen a lot of that now with quentin Tarantino and Danger 5. Make it an allegory for the rise of hate.

And get Jared Harris to play Death's Head!

Marshall WOULD be perfect for this. No one does dark and gritty period violence quite like him.

For a second I thought you meant Rob Marshall (Director of Chicago and Nine) which would be awesome for me but maybe not for the traditional fans

Castle Wolfenstein THE MUSICAL!

 

[Silvermoth]

I would love that! Fergie as Captain Blaskowitz!

 

[Silvermoth]

Did anyone else think of the robot dogs from Wolfenstein when they saw Kingsman 2 lol

Just made me want a movie even more!

The Great Escape meets Die Hard! How bad could it be?

It'd be hard to resist casting Dolph Lundgreen in the main role, though
