Last month while I was driving to work, the video game in my live action series just came to me. It is eternal champions. For all who doesn’t know about it, eternal champions is a fighting game that came out for the Sega genesis back in 1993. Also it was one of the few fighting games that was built from the ground up instead of being ported from the arcades. In 1995 the game got an enhanced version called eternal champions: challenges from the dark side which came out on the Sega CD.
As a kid, I was very fascinated with the game. I never had a genesis so I couldn’t play it. Years later I finally played it on my genesis mini. I cannot lie, the game is bad. The AI is next to impossible to defeat. Hell if you lose a fight, the game with send you back to the last opponent you defeated. I heard that challenges from the dark side is better. It fixes all the issues from the regular version like the cheap AI. I never got to play that either. It should had been on the genesis mini 2 but that is another story.
The plot of the game is that an all-powerful being named the eternal champion has predict that humanity will meet its end. The reason is that nine people thought out time had an unjust and untimely deaths by murder. In order to save humanity, the eternal champion puts out the nine just before their deaths. He holds a fighting tournament. Whoever wins the tournament, the eternal champion will send the winner back mere moments before their demise. With the knowledge the winner has, he or she can stop their death before it happens and save humanity.
Instead of making this a movie this will be a first in my series. this will be a TV show. With all the weird characters and their own story, I think this will work better as a show. Before I get started, to all that are wondering when I will get back to resuming casting for Nintendo’s IPs? The answer is soon. I have already picked the next IP I will use. I just need the time to do the resource.
Larcen Tyler
I am going to need a lead character for the show and I pick Larcen for the leading role. Larcen is an ex-cat burglar in Chicago that works for a mob boss in the 1920s. He was on mission to plant false evidence on a rival mob boss who is in a hospital. Larcen found out that it wasn’t a rival boss, it is the chief of police. The package that a bomb in it. He tries to throw it out in time, but he was too late. Most of the people in the hospital were killed including the police chief and Larcen himself.
For the leading role, I need a leading man. That leading man is Ryan Gosling. He started in the hit movie Barbie.
Mitchell Midleton Knight (midknight)
Mitchell is a biochemist and Jet kune Do expert from London. In 1967 he worked for the CIA. He made a bio weapon which was intended to put in the water supply of North Vietnan during the war. Mitchell was exposed to the virus by an accident. The virus turned him into an immortal vampire like creature. He craves blood but he will not kill anyone. He try to make a cure no he had no luck. Mitchell met his end in 2100 by a vampire killer.
The actor that I want to play midknight is a bit old but I do think he will fit the role well. The actor is Mads Mikkelsen.
Jonathan Blade
In 2030 Blade is a short temper cop who was fired because of it. He returns to his home country of Syria and became a bounty hunter. He was chasing a mad scientist who threatened the world with a virus. Blade trapped the scientist in a street corner. Before he could get the virus, the two were shot by a series of lasers. The shots came from ab bunch of government agents. The vial that holds the virus broke.
Just like Mads, the actor that I want to play Blade is a bit old as well. Yet he can still kick ass. He is Michael Jai White. Michael has been in a bunch of martial arts movies.
Shadow Yamato
Shadow is the most popular character in the series. She is an assassin of the Black orchid Corp in Japan in 1993. When she learned that the price of failure is death, She decided to escape and reveal the Corp to the cops. Before she could expose them, she was caught and push off of the 101st floor of their headquarters.
I had a very hard time finding the right actress to play her. At the end I broke one of my rules and went with someone that i had never hear of. It is Jessica Henwick.
Jetta Maxx
Now let us move on to the other female character, Jetta. Jetta once lived an aristocratic lifestyle in 1899. She left that lifestyle. Now she is traveling around the world as an acrobat in a circus. During a show she was targeted by a Chinese Boxer revolutionary. Her tightrope and safety net were sabotaged. During her act, she fell to her death.
For some reason I thought Jetta was French. Then I learned she is Russian. I tried to find the perfect Russian actress to play but I couldn’t find the right one. So I am going with my first selection. Lea Seydoux is my choice.
Trident
Trident who has a trident for his right hand, is a green gladiator from Atlantis. In 110 BC he fought for the people against the romans. If trident wins the fight, his people would get the land that is next to the Romans. A Roman gladiator pushes a stone pillar that crushes Trident to death. The people of Atlantis were banished to the waters.
This actor already has experience playing a character that is used to be underwater. I think he will work well as Trident. He is Yahya Aboul-Mateen II. He plays black manta in the two Aqua man movies.
R.A.X. Coswell
In the year 2345, Coswell is a kickboxer. Kickboxing and martial arts were becoming less popular. A new type of kickboxing called cyber fighting started. Fighters injected themselves with cybernetic implants be come cyborgs. Coswell was one of them. During the championship fight, Coswell Manager insert a virus into Coswell’s implants. Before Coswell could deliver the final blow, the manager activated the virus causing Coswell’s systems to crash killing him.
Finding the one to play Coswell was so easy. I am going with the first actor that came to the mind. It is the action movie superstar, Jason Statham. The first time I first saw him was in the hit movie the transporter.
Xavier Pendragon
Xavier is a scholar living in Salem Mass. While experimenting with alchemy, Xavier discovered a green compound of pure power. The people of the church accused of witchcraft. They took Xavier from his home, took him to the town square, and burned him at the stake.
For this role I am not going with a big name actor. My choice is Grant Gustin. He played Barry Allen/The flash in the Flash TV show.
Slash
Slash is a caveman in 50,000 BC. He is a hunter for his tribe that development superior intelligence. He looks for ways to improve and make life easier for his tribe. He started the hate the elders way of thinking and spoke out against them in public. At a meeting, the elders had Slash stoned to death.
Like with R.A.X. I am going with the first actor that came to mind. That is Jason Momoa.
Eternal Champion
I will now cast the eternal champion. This guy is a terrible actor, but he does have both the body and the voice for the role. The actor in Vin Diesel.
