Daniel Craig is a terrible choice for Arthur Morgan. Arthur is a big boy and Craig barely did the last Bond movie over not wanting to be in shape for him anymore. No way he would have the right look, plus you'd need a man about 20 years younger for Arthur.
 
What’s your experience with KG Hobby? Do they ship with the IOSS system?
I think pretty much all the big chinese and hong kong retailers ship with the IOSS system however customs can miss the code for a variety of reasons and still ask for you to pay taxes, you should be able to avoid them by contacting them and informing them that the VAT and taxes have already been paid by the shipper.
 
In my opinion RDR should be remain as games only, I'm so sick of live action adaptations, especially video game adaptations, gaming is already a cinematic medium with the added interaction from the player for total immersion, besides, to me John and Arthur will always be Rob Wiethoff and Roger Clark, there's just nobody that can replace their voices and the character models in my mind, same goes for Joel and Ellie and Solid Snake and other characters getting the live action treatment, I don't need to see the same stories being told with people impersonating characters that have meant so much to me for over a decade or more in the case of John and Solid, and I honestly have zero faith they could do justice to the massive magnus opus that is RDR2, in my opinion if they want live action movies or shows based off games then do something different with them, a new set of characters in the same universe with easter eggs of the game and characters we played as, that is much more appealing to me, for example the new Resident Evil live adaptation sounds like absolute dog ****, granted I haven't seen it yet but I'm willing to bet people would've enjoyed it much more if it had been about completely new characters, instead of butchering the game lore and iconic characters with poor casting and writting, just my two cents anyway.

Totally with respect, but I think Arthur is cut from rougher cloth than those two. I really like both Craig and Hemsworth, and they're great for their lanes, but they're still Hollywood pretty boys. Arthur is (to me, so this is all opinion) cut from the old school cloth of Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, and guys that look more like their saddles than movie stars. I loved Jeff Bridges in True Grit because I thought he conveyed it well. I think Josh Brolin is the same. Tim Blake Nelson was great in Old Henry. You get the idea. I can't think of a movie star off of the top of my head saddle worn and trail hard enough to convey Arthur. If anyone was ever bold enough to make the game to movie conversion, it's gonna be the source of LOTS of debate. Just my $0.02.
50 years ago I would’ve suggested Charlton Heston.

I pray the Uncharted movie bombs hard

Thanks!
 
Arthur’s finally reached my country! I’ll have him home by tomorrow or Tuesday. That was a long journey and thank you all for this beautiful thread and community! I’ll maybe try making a custom of my in game Arthur as well.

PS: I hope the journey for John starts soon
 
As much as I believe a RDR film would be great I also agree with others that it's best to leave the original stories and characters alone, and those mediums would work best with new characters and different story in the same universe set up by the games.
 
There's a reason video game movies don't work. In a video game, you get anywhere from 10-50+ hours to flesh out the story and let the audience connect with the character. Part of the reason Arthur and John are so beloved is because we spent SO much time with them, living and breathing in their stories. By the time those games ended, they both felt like a friend, not a character.

You can say the same thing about Nathan Drake, or Ezio Auditore, or Lara Croft, or Captain Price. Whoever. We get to see these characters at the best and worst, experience their highs and lows, laugh with them and cry with them. Price's reaction to Soap's death was the first time I ever cried for a video game, and that's because we spent so many hours with them both in that trilogy.

Now, you take all of that and try to condense it down to 2, maybe 2.5 hours. It's tough, because you need to establish the character in that time too. You don't get the extended time you do in the games. That's why all these video game movies fail, because they just don't get the time to do what video games get to do.

Count me in the crowd that never wants to see a Red Dead movie. Just like I thought the Assassin's Creed movie was a bad idea because they had to spent too much time introducing the non-gaming audience to the concepts that the fans of the series already knew, I think a Red Dead movie would feel rushed after the game was a slow play. I really think it won't work, although I'm sure someone is eventually going to try.

I think it’d work as a tv series. That way they could expand on the story even further
 
Who on earth thought Peter Parker would work as Nathan Drake wants shooting! He has such a strong look and I don't think any actor I know could capture that. Same with The Witcher, Gerard Butler might have worked, but not Henry Cavill, too pretty!

RDR is the same, the characters have such strong defined looks that any deviation from that will stick out a mile.

The Witcher is a different case, the show is based off the original novels not the games, and while Cavill might be a bit too handsome for the role he still nails it imo, the fact he is a fan and knows the character so well makes it a treat to watch him in the role, he's the best thing in the show anyway lol.

I will lose all faith in humanity if they cast Tom Holland as Arthur. Even if they say “it’s set before the game” it would be bad. Arthur doesn’t look like he’s 12 years old.

Unless the series gets a home entertainment release I wouldn't know about that. Streaming has never interested me and nor have I had broadband strong enough for it.
 
Was never a streaming fan myself but with the price of cable TV getting more and more outrageous every year, I think I’m finally cutting the cord next year. Might as well embrace the future.
 
When you have rent, bills, council tax and are already paying for broadband, paying for all the streaming services just adds too much to the cost. I don't have those problems right now, but, I know I soon will. I'm happy enough with Freeview and DVD's and will probably keep it that way. What I find galling is when streaming companies don't release material on DVD or BluRay, by rights we should have had stuff like Stranger Things and the first season of The Mandalorian on those by now. Entertainment should be for everyone regardless of income.

Gaming I can stay on top of and it's nice that Limtoys are producing figures from games that I have at least heard of and sometimes played.
