Topic: If they ever make a movie starring Gabriel Belmont.....

[Thomas Belmont]

...then they need to hire this guy. His name is Dwaine Stevenson. I saw him in the movie, coincidentally, named Gabriel. However, he did not play Gabriel in the film. I never saw his other movies but he did a good job in this. As soon as I first saw him I thought of Gabriel Belmont. What do you guys think?

LOL at first I thought it was Michael Weikath of Helloween.

He bears some ressemblance with Gabriel indeed!

AAUUGH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW HELLOWEEN ALBUM NEXT WEEK

But on topic, I always thought Robert Carlyle himself had a great resemblance to Gabriel. I can't remember if that was so much coincidence or intentional on the designer's part. I know Hideo Kojima gave them suggestions to make Gabriel look more relatable to the player though, and less barbarian-like than he originally looked.

If we're still wishing for a Castlevania movie (now that Paul Anderson and his stupid Sonia "Gotta-Fit-Milla-Jovivich-In-Somehow" idea have been canned), I would prefer to see Guillermo Del Toro directing and Garrett Hedlund as Simon Belmont.

Uugh. Just the thought of Paul Anderson having anything to do with Castlevania sickens me.

Fixed.

He could definitely pull off a Gabriel. But What about Robert Carlyle? Gabe obviously had his face molded in Carlyle's likeness somewhat

Robert Carlyle is a great actor but he's too old to play Gabriel. He's 51. Dwaine, on the other hand, looks like he was born to play Gabriel.




He'd also make a great LoS Dracula.

I think Cox loves Robert Carlyle too much that is why Gabriel's face is based on him.
They are even twitter buddies.
 
A younger Carlyle would have been a perfect fit for Gabriel.
Old Carlyle could play Dracula.
But I still couldn't forget Carlyle's Rumplestiltskin from OUAT.

Just don't let Paul Anderson direct it. Please.....

[Neobelmont]

So MS did an onimusha.

[Chernabogue]

Robert Carlyle would do a perfect Dracula.

I personally feel Tom Cruise plays a better Lestat than Stuart Townsend.

A little off topic, but I totally agree. I found Townsend's performance incredibly cringe worthy and felt he really didn't mesh with the character at all.

[DragonSlayr81]

Carlyle's way too old to play Gabriel. 20 years ago, perhaps, but now... nah. Dracula, on the other hand....

And Carlyle's badass as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold on OUAT! Crazy how multi-dimensional his character is, and they teeter constantly with his dark side and light side. Just when you think he's about to go over the edge, he's pulled back to his humanity.

I'm not opposed to Sonia at all (she & Iga's complete denial of her existence was my sig for a while after all), but Anderson makes my skin crawl...in a bad way.

Robert Carlyle would be just a bit old for Gabriel & that makes me sad because he's perfect in every other way. He'd be a fine Dracula though I must say.

Dwaine looks like he could be a pretty nifty Gabriel, but I wouldn't say he's perfect...just something...I dunno, not quite there for me. He's probably a better pick than most others & there isn't really a 'perfrct' match, so maybe I'm just expecting too much. Maybe it's just that I've seen so many terrible video game to big screen transitions I just don't wanna see a series this beloved marred.
