4. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Main Character: Carl Johnson and Officer Tenpenny
Stars: Jamie Foxx and Samuel L Jackson
Why They Should Star: This being the most expansive, story fuelled GTA makes it ripe for one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world to open to its cinematic debut. This itself could be split into three movies with each city acting as a trilogy setting. Obviously they would need top quality stars and the first draw would be Samuel L Jackson reprising his vocal work as the corrupt cop Tenpenny. Then Jamie Foxx; probably the best known young African/American actor in the business today he would be a necessity in this predominantly African/American ensemble and his array of acting talents which have seen him collect Oscar nominations and Oscar wins could help make CJs journey a real emotional anchor to a film that would have to be a bit barmy to capture the spirit of the games. Furthermore Samuel L Jacksons vocal work in the game was a real highlight in a character that was really designed for him; seeing him
Previous Performance Quotes They Could Bring To The Franchise: Jamie Foxx: I can't drive you around while you're killing folks. It ain't my job! Samuel L Jackson: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Why these ones: Both playful in jokes, the first about how CJ drives everybody; EVERYWHERE; and the second about the nature of the police force that Tenpenny is a part of.
