Hot take : Jack Black is devoid of talent and people should just stop talking about him
Well I'm not sure it's that hot here but it certainly is on the mainstream internet

Tenacious D was genuinely good and the little skits they did were funny at the time. He's just been riding that fame for a very long time. Tbh I'm glad he's just a shitlib unlike Gervais who made only 1 good thing and then dive bombed into being an insufferable twat
Gervais was insufferable right back to his days on The 11 O'Clock Show. I regard The Office as an anomaly.
I take it he's always been that smarmy self obsessed athiest weirdo who thinks he's above everyone else? Like the one true enlightened one.
The office really was an anomaly. The podcast with karl pilkington also but the humour entirely came from karl in that anyway and Gervais just served as a laugh track.

I mean talentless hack would make a good harry dubois it's basically method acting
Lmao
Young Jake Black was good I just feel now in the era of continual media making and consumption he is now self insert "omg Jake Black!!!" instead of willing or being offered to actually play a character which is horrifyingly depressing. In fact Jake Black and Mamoa are examples of actors being reduced into their names the way capitalist media commonly reduces the arts down into the most easily consumable and marketable pieces like slop sold to readily hungry pigs
yeah but Jason Momoa only has acting chops for Aquaman really
Jason Momoa was good in Stargate Atlantis
I liked Momoa in Gambo
Now. He was always annoying
eghhh, he's run his course but he had a few good movies where he acted well, and he can play some fun music. I wouldn't say talentless. He's just on a very cash-grabbing run as the gaming movie guy.
he's very one note, and isn't really an actor but more just plays himself. Once that got old after a couple movies, his career should have ended
He was good as a voice actor in the Metalocalpse movie. Not a fan of him in much else. I can't speak to his talent because he just rubs me the wrong way and it wouldn't be fair.
He was really good as a supporting character actor in the x files lol
But this was so long ago he's effectively a different person
also gets blown up by bruce willis in the jackal remake

what are you talking about it's really hard to make a little trumpet with your hands and go diddley-diddley-dooooo
as is well known, it is impossible to grow facial hair or use hairpieces to replicate them. so we can only use actors for this role who are currently sporting mutton chops
also lol at using a man with a gigantic jaw made of titanium to portray Kim, whose main caricature feature is a small jaw.
Also I don't think Jack Black has the acting ability to play Harry, and he's not a good face for such a movie because of the genre people are used to see him act in
I would be much more worried about the writing than the casting. I could just see a situation where they make a rough cut that's really true to the tone of the game, but then test audiences don't like it, so producers take a hatchet to the entire thing and bring in Joss Whedon to "punch it up" and we get a flashback scene with The Deserter where a coalition airship comes over the horizon and he turns to his fellow revolutionary and says "they fly now!?"
"What is this... some kind of disco in Elysium?" 
daniel dae kim as kim is borderline racist or something because they have nothing in common besides being korean/fantasy korean-new worlder, and having "kim" in their name. it would be like casting harry styles as tequila sunset
I could play 
way better than Jack Black. I understand The Face and can wear it on command.

Zionist Harry Du Bois would be something.
Ryan Gosling as every Disco Elysium character
Disco Literally Mesium
Casting aside, how would a game where at least half of the dialog takes place in the protagonist's mind even work as a movie?
The Lynch version of Dune did that for much of the run.
and it was infamously a terrible movie that even Lynch hated
David Lynch is wrong and I'm not afraid to say it.
half the movie is cross fades and narration. the 2nd 50% of the plot happens in like 5 minutes. it's bad lmao

Jack Black can't play a drunk marxist cop when he's always cast as the utopian anarchist who is suspiciously only surrounded by other white people.
Stavros Halkias as Harry
Takehiro Hira as Kim
Stavbot laughs
Skidoosh comrade.
Jack Black is a man with next to no principles beyond making a check. Who better to play somebody in a tabula rasa state.
Personally i would love to see Hollywood totally miss the mark (as they always do) and miscast Kim . Someone like a Ma Dong-seok, or some other buff dude. Just a cursed big and burly Kim. 
I...am Raphael Ambrosius Costeau
Fuck no.
