Dude, just fucking leave. Why does anyone think he'll be good for tv and film??

Maybe he wants to fill the gross void of Dan Schneider?

There's a Borderlands movie in development, directed by Eli Roth, Randy wants to cash in on Hollywood, now that videogame movies are becoming more successful.
I hope they never make a Duke Nukem movie.

I could see a Duke movie happening. Cast The Rock as Duke and make it OTT action parody.

Wouldn't that just be Last Action Hero?
As for the topic of the thread. IDK I just get the feeling he may be leaving as president. But he is still CEO and his fingers will be over everything.

I was thinking more like True Lies but yeah. R-rated Last Action Hero with the Rock as the Duke might work out. The Rock is perfect for the Duke and no one can bitch about another movie with a white male lead because of his POC status.

Why would the Rock be perfect if he's not white and it's a white character? Quit promoting this race flipping garbage in media.

But he has the right personality and he's built like a brick shithouse...

So what? There's plenty of people out there that can resemble Duke without shitting up the property with modern politics.

He's going to tank the company by wasting millions on shitty Borderlands films that nobody will watch.

Randy’s shifting over to TV and film just in time to see Eli Roth take a huge steaming shit all over the Borderlands franchise. Good timing, Randy, as usual you’re on top of things. It’ll be fun to watch you hire Lena Dunham to write the Duke movie.

Oh MAN A True Lies (my 2nd fave Arnie movie after Conan the Barbarian) style Duke Nukem movie would make fucking BANK no matter how much the character archtype rustles the jimmies of the New Woke. And The Rock would absolutely have the ego-projection power to play the Duke properly as well.
Shit, just imagining him with a blonde brush-cut smoking a stogie while holding a gun bigger then he is makes my shoulders broaden about an inch, my voice to drop an octave and my nuts to hang 2oz heavier.
That would be awesome.

Off the top of my head I can't think of another big bodied and youthful enough actor with enough presence to play Duke. Of any skin colour. The Rock would probably own that kind of role, but I'm not sure he'd be up to go full R rated.

Maybe Jason Momoa?
Something about Samoa seems to produce either grossly fat massive men or massive testosterone loaded manly men. How many goddamn legendary Sumo wrestlers and pro wrestlers have come from that dinky island?

I honestly can't even imagine what a fully shaven blond haired Momoa would look like. In my mind though I can picture The Rock as a very tanned Duke. Plus he has that larger than life wrestler presence, where he can alternate between a stoic hardarse and then saying awful one-liners with an expressive face.
Someone like Chris Hemsworth, who more accurately fits the phenotypical description, might look the part but I'm not sure he'd be able to pull off the character.
IDK, pointless discussion really but it is fun to dream of a quality Duke Nukem film.

A Duke Nukem movie can work, a Duke Nukem movie with Randy's involvement will be total AIDS, which is more likely to happen, he sees Duke more as a clown than an action hero.

More fun then discussing Randy Pitchford's autism anyway, at least at the current time. His milk is drying up and turning sour.
On second thought, I don't think Momoa could do it. He's just too obviously Polynesian. It would end worse then putting Hugo Weaving in Yellowface did in Cloud Atlas, an otherwise great movie let down by trying to turn Asian women white, white men Asian, and Tom Hanks as anyone but Tom Hanks.
Seriously, no matter how you dress this charisma-vampire he never looks like anyone but himself in every multi-million dollar role he's cast in. Dude's worse then Mel Gibson for that shit.
(apologies for off topic, I STFU now)

I agree that The Rock is probably the best conceivable Duke right now, but if we’re fantasy casting I think Dolph Lundgren in his prime would have been the best Duke.

You guys realize that there are probably countless weight lifters or body builders they could find to play Duke Nukem, right? It doesn't necessarily have to be Jason Mamoa or the Rock.
While I've loved watching Dwayne from childhood, his movies have always been hit or miss. Mamoa cannot do anything convincingly, period. He shat up the Conan the Barbarian remake so badly and I will never forgive him for that atrocity.

Son of Kurt Russell (Wyatt Russell) could play the Duke. He would be ok choice, little buffing up and some makeup would do the job (Duke is doing Snake Plissken type of talking anyway and Wyatt is perfect age for the role).
