God of War movie script leaked? SPOILER WARNING

CinCity2000 reports that they've come across the advance script of the God of War movie, which was written by David Self. CC2K described the script in detail in their article, written by Big Ross, and the the movie seems to be based on the events on the first God of War. The script (or parts of it) were not published, but the claim is big enough to spark this juicy rumor anew. *SPOILER WARNING*

Err... no.

You might be wondering about the spoiler warning. We all know what happened in God of War one, and despite the close adherence of the movie to the in-game storyline, the ending will be different: Instead of accepting the offer to replace Ares as the God of War, Kratos refuses, continues his cliff dive, whispering "Your turn, Hades..." as he falls.

Now we turn to who's playing Kratos. For me, no one will ever make a better Kratos than Vin Diesel, and perhaps Goldberg would come a distant second. Lead game designer David Jaffe, however, wants Djimon Honsou to take the role. Djimon's a great actor and everything, but he doesn't quite give out a fierce Kratos aura like Vin Diesel can.

Just a reminder - this is a rumor, so let's not get carried away...just yet. It's not clear whether the script was part of the Brett Ratner-directed movie that got shelved, or if this one is a new project under a new director.

The issue with us gamers is that we want to see the actors appearance to have some resemblance to the games main characters. In this case we look at the picture and therefore conclude the main character is not suited for the movie. First up, Vin Diesel might look like Kratos but might not feel as Kratos in the movie. I'm pretty sure they wont screw this BIG game up in a movie like they did with Transformer or DBZ.

Honsou doesn't looks remotely anybody in ancient Greek time or mythology.

I mean kratos does kinda have a black guy vibe to him. Namely with that kick ass beard.

Give It a chance. I mean I was sketch about Heath Ledger playing joker and look what happened. It could work if they tried hard movie magic. He's a gr8 actor Lol His voice is perfect!

# Batista — aydreeun 2009-07-14 13:13

I think the WWE Wrestler Batista looks very much like Kratos...

I think he's a greek/philipino mix too!

Vin diesel should play Kratos.he would be the best actor to play Kratos.

# bastista rules!!!!!!!!!! — kenneth agustin 2010-09-09 08:58

Batista is the best candidate for me and it would be great to see a filipino get into a friggin movie not made by another flipino that would be liked by other people
