Fallout 3 Movie Dream Cast

James Shepard: A believable fit to being Ansel Elgort's dad (age kind of works out and they're the same height), Liam would be reprising his voice role from the game and would not only be a nice connection between the two formats, but be excellent as this character. A father, conflicted with raising his son the best he can, but also has the chance to go save the Capital Wasteland. I think Liam would jump at the chance to play James. Heck, he said he'd reprise Ra's Al Ghul for TV's Arrow! This role is in an action movie which people love him in, is a little deeper than his other characters (no offence Bill Marks of Non-Stop), and is a good change of pace for him.

The Lone Wanderer (Von Shepard): the main character of the story (who is 19 when he exits vault 101), Ansel is the best actor right now around that age. He could easily showcase the innocence of someone fresh out of the vault and eventually become the hard-nosed, rough-around the edges, warrior that he transforms into by the end of the story. The reason for the name to the character is to give him some more depth. Von means hope, which is what he broadcasts to everyone wherever he goes. This would be an excellent main theme to the story. The surname Shepard eludes to his Christ-like persona and the Christian themes of the story (Revelation 2:16 bible verse and the (SPOILER ALERT) sacrificing done by both him and his father so mankind can live on).

Sentinel Sarah Lyons: I, along with everyone else on the planet, love Jennifer Lawrence to death. But, putting the bias aside, realize she would be perfect for this role. She has practically unlimited range, so she could really be perfect for every role, but this one especially. A tough, no-nonsense Sentinel struggling to maintain the Lyon's Pride and connect with her father Elder Lyons, she shows her all-business persona at first, but becomes closer and closer to Von as the story progresses.

Colonel Augustus Autumn: This guy can act. We are witnesses to the McConaissance, and right now he is in full form. Autumn is a part that can be heavily expanded on from the game that a man like Matthew can perfectly capture. Autumn was raised in the oil rig of Fallout 2, Daddy issues with his actual father and then President Eden, and is so dedicated to the Enclave that it makes him absolutely insane. Don't think you can see McConaughey as a crazy bad guy? Watch True Detective. While not really a bad guy, he sure is crazy and wacky in that show, but still so good.

Three Dog: He can provide the energy, wise words, and smooth voice of the radio DJ out here in the Capital Wasteland. The role has a lot more potential than the one in the game. As an observer of the Capital Wasteland lifestyle, Three Dog preaches to fight the good fight, for people to keep their humanity, survive, and provide their own hope as appose to the Brotherhood of Steel who provide hope for others. With the Brotherhood using GNR as an outpost, this could provide some intriguing debates between right and right.

Doctor Madison Li: Sideways= she's got chops. Doctor Li is a longtime friend, scientific research partner, and secretly in love with James. She is called back by him to complete Project Purity. Reluctant to be put at risk of her hope crumbling again, she joins along and finds herself fighting along all the others, offering a mothering figure to Von, and being taken on perhaps one of the most emotionally exhausting journeys of the story. Sandra Oh has the capability to take us on this journey.

Elder Owyn Lyons: Roughly the right age, a booming voice, and the commanding charisma of a military leader, Jeff Bridges could easily handle the role of Lyons. In charge of the Capital Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel, Lyons has to make sure everything is in line, acting as a father figure for all, but struggles to do so with his daughter, Sarah. Hopefully he can save grace with her, because directly below in this list is an example of a poor father figure also in a position of power over his "child".

President John Henry Eden: The (SPOILER ALERT) A.I. who managed to become President of the United States, Eden could be perhaps the deepest character of the story. McDowell is reprising his video game role, which will continue to be voice work, but difficult voice work at that. He has to capture the tone of a computer who has discovered his consciousness, makes decisions that only benefit the Enclave's ultimate goal, as well as provide a father figure to Autumn. The conversations between Eden and Autumn are passionate, emotional, yet business-like to maintain the order of the Enclave. These scenes could provide McConaughey with a Joaquin Phoenix Her-esque performance.

Amata Almodovar: The original love of Von's young life, Amata grows up with him in the vault under the oppressive rule of her father, the Overseer. Selena's roughly around the same age as Ansel and could provide that special spark when arguing the management of the vault with her father.

Overseer Alphonse Almodovar: It's easy to imagine Andy Garcia giving the gears to Vault 101, having the pressure of the position slowly wear down on him over time and driving him to near insanity. Much like Eden, he has both lost his hope in the land outside and will stop at nothing for his cause. In his case, it's isolationism.

Captain Dusk: Babel is all you need to see to know that Rinko can deliver. Dusk can be a very deep role, much more so than the games depictions. She struggles to deal with the sexism of Captain Colvin, the other sniper on the Lyon's Pride, the overall sexism of the "Brother"hood, batting heads with Sarah, and the idea that she may have to sacrifice her life in order for the greater good to keep moving forward.

Palidan Glade: The big-guns expert of the Lyon's Pride, Glade is an underrated badass of the game. I mean, big guns! Missile launchers! He could be a witty, ass-kicking character that understands fully what it means to be a soldier, but has a likeable personality that still breaks through. Butler can provide that swagger, no doubt.

Palidan Vargas: The character is Sarah's right-hand man, helping her guide the Lyon's Pride along while being her voice of reason in the difficult situations. Bernal has a lot of talent and can make the character his own to keep the audiences affectionate for Vargas.

Palidan Kodiak: With a troubling and gruesome past, Kodiak contradicts how he was brought up by how he conducts himself. He is very friendly and personable towards Von, helping him along as he discovers this new world, while almost seeming to enjoy his work of killing Super Mutants. Mackie definitely has that charisma but can change on a dime when his backstory is brought up.

Captain Gallows: The quiet yet effective scout and stealth expert of the pride, Gallows does his talking by his work in the field. He often goes above and beyond to accomplish the goals of the Brotherhood, and teaches Von that actions speak louder than words out here. Oyelowo is an up and coming actor destined for greatness and would flourish in this tough role, having to depend on his acting mannerisms rather than his verbal lines.

Captain Colvin: The only character who needs a downgrade from the game, there is simply no room for Colvin's character in this story. Helman, as seen in Days of Future Past, can provide a good jerk character towards Dusk.

Luke Simms: Physically, the most identical actor-character combo on this list. Simms provides the first speck of hope Von encounters, guiding him through Megaton, first introducing him to this new cruel world, and overall just being a nice guy where nice guys don't really exist. Idris definitely has that feel about him but, at any moment, can get badass.

Jonas Palmer: If you've ever seen James on the Walking Dead, you know this guy can bring it. While this actor doesn't really match up with the age of Jonas in the game, having him as a scientist alongside James and Dr. Li who comes into Vault 101 can give him much more importance to the story. For the most part he provides humour and light into everyone's life, but when times become toughest for him he can show true emotion.

Moira Brown: A touch of comedy is needed for this role, and Tipton can definitely put that in here. Moira is bubbly, eccentric, and generally upbeat, something that isn't common in the capital wasteland. She sells supplies in Megaton, and when Von needs money, she sends him on a dangerous task with no real concern for his safety, showcasing the many sides to the terrible people out here.

Colin Moriarty: The shady "owner" of Megaton (and somehow Irish), Moriarty has the whole town by the throat and has set up an underground empire for himself. He cares only about money and power and like Moira, needs something done for him in exchange for anything. Gleeson has the same charm as Moriarty and can bring that "crime boss persona" if needed.

Daniel Agincourt: Rude, cynical, and generally negative scientist working under Doctor Li, Daniel provides the voice of doubt to everything that is being done. Hammer showed he can be that guy that just complains all the time in The Social Network (I say that in all due respect), and would slide in nicely here. However, as the story goes on, Daniel let's up a little bit and discovers the hope that has existed under his nose all along.

Doctor Anna Holt: Originally working with Doctor Li, Holt is kidnapped and drawn towards the Enclave and the science they possess. Betraying Li and the project to allow the Enclave to take it, she becomes conflicted with her decision as well as her relationship with Autumn. Rachel is one of the more talented actresses out there who can easily portray this conflicted character.

Fawkes: The super mutant with a conscious, knowledge of history, and a desire to do good, Serkis would have to give a much different and more intimidating performance compared to his others. He's the best there is when it comes to motion capture and there's no doubt he could be up for the challenge.

Scribe Rothchild: The only actor/actress who is not the same gender as their game character, Linney provides another scientific mind to the story, but one that works for the brotherhood. A friend of Elder Lyons for as long as they can remember, she mans the scientific front, making sure everything that needs to get done, gets done. Linney is just plain fantastic in her work and would be an awesome addition.

Mayor MacCready: You got to go through Little Lamplight to get to Vault 87, and in order to get into Little Lamplight you have to get past MacCready, the foul-mouthed, over-protective mayor of the town. Another character passionately locked into his goal (to keep his town of kids safe) he will stop at nothing. Whether it's what he says or who he shoots, he will meet his goal. Simpkins is as hot of a commodity as a kid actor can be and has shown he has what it takes to make it in the big movies.

Eulogy Jones: Correction about Idris Elba looking the most like his character, Jamie Foxx looks EXACTLY like Eulogy Jones. They must have modelled it after him. This is a pretty small role for Foxx to play, but worth it. Jones is in charge of the Capital Wasteland slave trade, capturing and selling collared slaves to those passing by, and representing the evil, entrepreneurial spirit of those in the Capital Wasteland.

Forty: Eulogy's right-hand man, this guy has to be huge and scary. Durand stands 6'6, looks really creepy in a lot of his movies (no offence), and might have to put on a little muscle for the role, but would get the job done. The game has Forty (who gets his name from how many people he killed) as an idiot, but having him as a bloodthirsty enforcer, who disagrees with the business honour Eulogy enforces, would drum up more depth to the entrepreneurial ways of the slave trade.

Doctor Stanislaus Braun: Creator of the Tranquility Lanes simulation, Braun is someone Von and James have to get through in order to get the GECK. The fact that this simulation exists the way it does begs the question of who's right is it to question reality, how much hope is truly lost within the survivors of this wasteland, and what goes through this man's mind that he can be aware of this simulation for over 100 years and still continue with it? A little off topic from the rest of the story and themes, Braun is just so interesting. A bit of age-increasing makeup and a thick German accent that this actor can do no problem makes Tucci a perfect fit.

Catherine Shepard: The mother of Von and wife of James, you never actually see Catherine in gameplay. Her involvement in this story is minimal, but she is spotted in flashbacks, the birth of Von, and in a more spiritual form, seeming to guide Von along in his journey. She is talked about more than she is seen. Woodward is a veteran talent that wouldn't distract viewers in the role, as again, she appears at random times. Let's say it was Oprah just stopping by once and a while, it would take the audience out of it.

Narrator: Last but not least, THE voice of Fallout. He narrated the games and he has to narrate the film(s), providing a comforting effect around the story with monologues at the beginning and end.

Kevin Durant has nothing to do with anything here, this is just a space for concluding statements: -If you've made it this far congratulations, I kind of wrote a lot. -As you may have been able to tell by the hefty description writing, I do have a general story idea planned for the film adaptation -Trilogy. A trilogy based on this game would be perfect. 30 substantial characters in a single movie would be ridiculous -Obviously this is a dream cast as stated in the title, the budget for getting all 30 of these people would be ridiculous
