10 Dream Video Game Movie Castings We'd Die For

1. Adam Jensen - Keanu Reeves

While Elias Toufexis would be a brilliant choice to play Jensen on-screen, having played him in the games, I think that even he would concede if the breathtaking Keanu Reeves were up for replacing him.

Adam Jensen is practically already a Keanu Reeves character after all: having a cool voice, few emotions other than anger, basically only wearing black, a messy beard and also guns, lots of guns.

Throw in his recent voyage into the genre of cyberpunk in the form CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 and the argument for Reeves being a perfect fit for Jensen becomes an even stronger one - as, sure, Jensen may not exactly be a rockstar like Johnny Silverhand, but the hatred for authority and neat cybernetic arms that Mike Pondsmith's character has could easily be translated over to the Deus Ex protagonist by Reeves.

To whoever has the ability to make this happen: what are you waiting for? Get on it!
