He'll be forever known as a badass in the cinema world. Can any of you name any actors today that could take on the role of John Marston?
I have no ideas.
Kevin Sorbo.
I...drink...your...MILKSHAKE!
I DRINK IT UP!!!

sharethis might seem like a cliche'd choice and what not but i think brad pitt might be able to pull it off well. timothy olyphant comes to mind also.
Josh Brolin? i would certainly love to at least see them audition the part. lol
if this was eastwood in his prime the role would be his
johnny depp, he can put a gothic spin on it and of course tim burton will direct it. also stars helena bonham carter as abigail.
shareinteresting... a Quentin tarantino version sound's awesome as well
shareTimothy Olyphant. He's got the voice, he's about the right age (~43 years old, looks younger), maybe give him a 5'oclock shadow and a scar and the resemblance would be legit.
josh brolin is great in stuff like this and is the bigger star but i think olyphant would do the job well
Olyphant is awesome, after watching him in Deadwood, I really think he's under-appreciated (plus he's cool in Rango and a pretty slick bad guy in Die Hard). My only concern with him as Marston is that Marston has quite a lot of physical authority. Olyphant always seems like a tough-coz-he's-smart kinda guy, not becuase he's strong. Not saying they need Arnie in the role, just someone a little more intimidating, like Brolin.
What is up homie?
He beefed up for Hitman, so I think if he put on the muscle and got a tan he could do it.
Bring me everyone.
Tarantino did that--it's called Django Unchained. And how would a Red Dead film be different from any other western film that came before it?
Red Dead is interesting because its a western film in the form of a game. Making it a film would simply mean making another western film...
I could see Anson Mount from Hell on Wheels being perfect in the role.
On the bed, on the floor, on a towel by the door, in the tub, in the car, up against the mini-bar
When I first bought the game and started playing, I thought J.M. was voiced by James Remar. And with long dark hair, and some dark stubble he would come close to looking like J.M.

are they really gonna make a movie? seems like a pointless idea because yes it made for a very cool and unique game but as a movie...it'll just be like the other 99% of westerns out there. there's nothing special or different about this storyline, its pretty much "western movie stereotypes : the game".
Timothy Olyphant?
Gaze not too long into the abyss, lest the abyss turn its gaze upon you
He's not up for it now, but John Marston reminds me of Kurt Russel.
If you have sen Escape from New York , you will get what I mean.
I think Kurt Russel (in his prime) would have been perfect for the role of John Marston.
Christian Bale.
Josh Brolin okay maybe but too old. John Marston I figure was mid 30s at the most.
I feel beneath the white there is a redskin suffering, from centuries of taming
I could see Anson Mount from Hell On Wheels. He would be perfect.
