Entertainment Weekly, in an interview with David Jaffe, is reporting that the script for the God of War movie is complete.
Says Jaffe:
There’s a really good script written by David Self, who wrote Thirteen Days for Kevin Costner. I keep expecting them to call me and say it’s dead, but my fingers are crossed. We’ll be sending the script out to a huge-name director.
A huge-name director? Very **cough** Peter Jackson **cough** interesting.
The God of War creator also goes on to say that Djimon Hounsou would be his dream actor to play Kratos.
Djimon Hounsou as Kratos. Absolutely. You have to get past the fact that Kratos is Greek, but in terms of the way he looks and his acting ability and his physique — I can’t think of a better choice.
Whether the entire project comes together or not, the God of War movie could be pretty great. Kind of like a Clash of the Titans for a new generation.
What do you think? Would you be excited to see God of War on the silver screen? Besides Hounsou, who do you think would be the perfect actor to play Kratos (please no one say Vin Diesel)?
