Interessantes:
- Ein C&C Kinofilm wurde intern immer wieder diskutiert, aber bis jetzt wurde nie etwas konkretisiert.
- Joseph Kucans Obsession für Pauly Shore hält er auch in 2014 an, wie er in einem Interview vom 05.12.2014 erneut zeigte:
Если бы во времена разработки самой первой Command & Conquer бюджет позволил вам взять на роль Кейна любого голливудского актера, кого бы ты выбрал?
Поли Шора (Pauley Shore, американский комик — прим. интервьюера). Без вопросов и сомнений: Поли Шор. - Die Kucan-Brüder hatten sogar selber versucht die Filmrechte zu erlangen, laut ihres AMAs am 31.07.2014:
Daniel: AND I should add that Joe and I tried to option movie rights to the C&C franchise but they wouldn't let us do it. Apparently it would have ruined their plans on letting it die slowly and painfully.
- Über die Jahre hat Joseph Kucan immer wieder Pauly Shore angeführt. In einem Interview vom 14.01.2010 zu C&C4 hat er ihn abermals erwähnt:
*laughs* That's exactly right. My contract demands were such that it was bankrupting the company, so they've decided to move him off to the side, and hire Pauly Shore or somebody to come in and play Kane for the future.
Pauly Shore? Really?
*laughs* Yeah, actually. They made him an offer. He turned them down. Not enough money. And he wouldn't shave his head.
You can't have Kane without the shaved head though, surely?
Well, now that he's got the long blonde hair and the bosom, I think that that's maybe a direction they want to go.
*laughs* You think Pauly Shore could pull that off?
He's a fine actor. A fine, fine actor. *laughs* We're in the UK. Do you know who Pauly Shore is?
*laughs* Yes.
Okay, good. Then it's funny! 'Coz if you didn't know, then it wouldn't have been. *laughs* - Während der CommandCOM wurde in einem Q&A Event auch nach einem Kinofilm gefragt. Joseph Kucan antwortete:
Q: Why don’t you make a C&C Movie with the film industry, you got the knowledge for that?!
A: Joe: I can’t really imagine what the story of a C&C movie should be like. You all make your own story in the games... so what would the movie story be like? Kill that bold guy over there? (Audience is laughing out loud) - Kane-Darsteller Joseph Kucan am 28.03.2008 in einem Kanes Rache-Interview zu diesem Thema:
VideoGamer.com: If there was ever a Command & Conquer movie, would you want to play Kane?
JK: Are you kidding, I'd love to play the role. Well, let me take the standard Hollywood reply here, I'd have to see the script first, to make sure it's high enough quality. No, are you kidding me, I'd love to do it. There hasn't really been talk of a Command & Conquer movie since the very first Command & Conquer game, but to tell you the truth it would surprise me no end to find out such a thing is going forward. With that said, I'd be honoured and flattered to be involved in that project.
VideoGamer.com: Any current Hollywood celebs who you'd like to see play the role of Kane?
JK: Yeah, well, I think Tom Hanks has shown an interest, and Pauly Shore is a big favourite of mine - I liked him a lot. And now that Dane Cook (Good Luck Chuck) is doing some great acting work, I'd love to see him get involved. You know, quality actors (laughs). In so many ways I feel such a personal attachment to the character that when you ask that question it's very much like "Who would you like to see play you?" and that's a tough question. - In einem Interview von 2001 wurde Joe Kucan schon mal wegen eines Kinofilms gefragt. Auch dort nannte er bereits Pauly Shore:
Would you ever consider directing a full-blown C&C movie? Has it ever been discussed inside the green walls which is Westwood Studios'?
Joe Kucan: That is no longer an option. The film rights to the entire Command & Conquer franchise have been owned outright by Pauly Shore since late last year. If he wants me to direct, he knows where to find me. - Es gab noch eine Unterschriftenaktion bei moviefans.de, bei der über 1700 Stück gesammelt wurden.
