    Probably not the best pic to reflect the role.

    I think it shows promise. We might see a performance out of him as unlikely as Ledger as the Joker or Damon as Bourne

    I think he's a very very good actor and i would much prefer to see a quality actor in a role then just some beefcake who cant act (arnie the exception)

    Even though he looks dodgy there do not underestimate the "hollywood effect" being lighting/Computers to make him look that bit better. I hold high hopes for this film as i have always been a fan of the games however that did not serve me well with hitman:mad:

    I firmly believe you can just nobody with any talent has handled one yet. Sands of Time would make a very good film if the right people are behind it and there seems to be a bit of talent behind this one. However I thought that about Silent Hill and that was a bit of a mess.

    Remember only a few years ago comic book films were laughed at but now we are seeing directors who grew up with comic books and giving us some excellent films like the dark knight. hopefully the same will happen with directors who grew up with videogames.

    Well you got to move with the times and Sands of Time is an excellent game and has a storyline far more worthy of adaptation than the original title.

    I think he looks the part. Haven't played the games so won't comment on the story aspect but he is a good actor and they really do need to start taking game films a bit more seriously - there's plenty of money to be made if they do it right. Just look at comic adaptations...
