wtf he got big FAST :o
-
Fucking delicious.
-
That's not bad. Costume I mean...
-
He looks like Criss Angel.
-
I came here to make the thread :'(
-
I think it looks awful. I have nothing against Gyllenhaal (him or his downer sister), but he looks ridiculous in this role.
-
Wow, this might not be shit. I'm willing to believe, but I hope it stays good for all 3 movies, unlike POTC. I'm really interested in seeing how they handle him being, well, Arab(CGI Tan?).
I'm also really hyped to see the dark prince from the third game, but that's awhile off.
Persians aren't Arabs. Many Persians have white skin and straight hair.
-
they should tan him up a bit; the hair just doesn't fit his color imo. but OMG how did he go from skinny dude in Zodiac to THIS :o
it's a shame the badass arab dude from the first two Mummy movies wasn't chosen

Yeah, it seems a little awkward. He got fuggin huge though

You realize that they'll give him a darker skin tone and put brown filters all over this in post-production, right?
-
His face is completely off, not feeling it
-
I'm actually looking forward to seeing what he'll do with the role.
-
Yeah and the outfit is totally wrong too.
wat

I don't see how that will help much. His face matching up with his hair the probably the most awkward part of the look. He reminds me of this:

The face and hair don't match.
And he also looks too beefy for the role. The Prince was an acrobat. In that picture he looks like he could fight, but not be jumping of pillars and all that.
-
He was pretty big in Jarhead.
They should've gone with Orlando Bloom, i just can't see this guy in action sequences.
-
He's almost hairy enough to play a Persian.
Almost!
-
I say that you people just save judgement until the first trailer. I'll be protecting this movie as if it were my own flesh and bone until then.
This thing doesn't even come out until 2010.
/Jake Gyllenhaal Defense Force
-
I'm Persian, and that guy right there is no Persian man. Maybe a child. He is not nearly hairy enough.
-
Are you sure it's not Jared Leto?

i don't know if gyllenhaal can summon up much power with that voice of his.
-
They should have hired Sayid.
-
I'm reading the GAF thread on this and I wish I wasn't banned so I could make a huge chris crocker-like defense post against Jake Gyllenhaal. Fuckers over there are crazy.

All jokes aside, after Heath Ledgers performance in TDK ended with nearly half of that forum using him in their avatars (After many had written him off) you think that they would show a bit more restraint in critiquing another choice of roles.
-

Seriously.

White Hollywood keeping the Brown Man down.

it's not just brown man. GOKU ISN'T WHITE.

Yeeh, he's mfkin extraterrestial, a mfkin E.T
-

I'm sure hundreds of thousands of online words have been devoted to raging animu fanboi argument on this very topic but sadly, I appear to have missed them all. What's the basis for this then? That he speaks Japanese?
-
The only thing to go on to believe Goku is Asian is his "Grandfather" who found him was Asian. Race isn't exactly made clear in Dragon Ball at all times. He probably would be Asian, but it isn't anything to get is a fuss about. It isn't like an Asian Goku would make the movie look good.

I want a hot bod

The only thing I could offer is that he's based on the Chinese Monkey God character. But it isn't even clear that the stories are set on our earth...and Goku is an alien even there. So i'm not really feeling the outrage about him being played by a non-Asian.
It goes without saying that the movie will be an affront to delicate sensibilities and discerning minds everywhere, of course.
-

Aren't 99% of all anime characters white though? Blue/green/etc eyes and non black hair...yea
-
you think a white man could learn kung fu as well as goku?
-
Uub, a black man, was at one point stronger than Goku in kung fu.
-
Himu you've derailed this thread. Anyway if you know your Kung Fu history an Indian monk taught the Chinese monks how to defend themselves and started the development of kung fu.
Hence yellow man > brown man > white man > black man
-
Uub is so obviously indian or something. he has straight hair!
-

....no. You have me there. GOD DAMN IT

Checkmate.

Uub does not look black :lol
GOKU IS AZN

Same, it just isn't working for me.
-
They did great on everything but his face. Why did they leave his face alone? No one will ever know. I don't know when the Prince decided to throw on a grizzly beard instead of his fey-ass goatee, but Jake's face looks all wrong. That post above has it right, he looks more like the new Bionic Commando hero than the Prince.
-
He doesn't look anything at all like the game character. They'll probably try to make this like 24 in the desert with swords and just because it'll be like 24, it'll be shit. Karma will then make the new cel-shaded game really fucking awesome. This picture has made me excited..for the game.
Persians aren't Arabs. Many Persians have white skin and straight hair.
Persians are one race in Iran. They are brown peoples.
-
I'm more or less from Iran, and I'm really white with wavy hair.
-
yeah, I personally have a brown complexion but Iranians can look chinese, white, mexican, Indian, and even totally, completely black. It's obvious that the game character looked mexican though.
honestly, I'm just worried that this will suck like most video game movies (most probably with time travel used in a gimmicky way for the story). maybe the story is good and they never actually told Gyllenhaal that it is a viddy game story so he doesn't get scared of it sucking big hard balls.
-
Apparently Marky Mark wasn't told that Max Payne was a Video Game when he read the script. He said that if he knew it was a Video Game before reading it, he wouldn't have ever read it.
-
yeah I heard about that and I'm hoping maybe they did something similar with gyllenhaal. wahlberg was actually so lazy that he had his assistant play through the original two games while he was watching to learn the story.
