Talk:Francisco Randez
Unneeded information[edit source]
Do we really need the personal info about him (presumably from Wikipedia)? If he likes martial arts or not, it's got nothing to do with the game universe - best we stick to a quick bio of him, then explaining why he's in the game. --Tigernose • Chat • Edits 18:45, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
This wiki aims to be a complete encyclopedia about AC related things. Both facts from real life and in-universe should be noted, and personal info is important to build a personality profile. -- D. Cello 04:06, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
The information was not taken from Wikipedia, it was translated from an interview: http://www.lienmultimedia.com/article.php3?id_article=13885 LivingByTheCreed 09:41, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
The Perfect Ezio.[edit source]
Let no one But Francisco Randez play the part of Ezio in any Assassins Creed Movie. Or ealse the actor will ruin the game character for us. He must be as agile, wild, charming, deadly, and stealthy as Ezio is. I am so happy that they can use him. I am still waiting on who they are going to use for Dante devil may cry. Better not discrace him either.
Except Randez is a model, not an actor. 84.135.155.194 11:33, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
Rights?[edit source]
Anybody else think that Ubisoft declined to renew an image contract with Francisco Randez for Revelations? Maybe that's why all three characters who had a Randez-y face were redesigned.Mercenari 04:54, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
As far as I know there is nothing to confirm this and it is speculation. However, Ubisoft Motion Pictures in Paris (the guys that are likely to be behind or heavily involved in any film adaption) have rejected him as the definate main actor in any future project. However! they said he has the same chance as others in getting the part (whatever that means). Anyways, yes they basically snubbed him. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ ♣HelpDesk♣ 10:52, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
It's beyond idiotic to reject him, and others who've provided their likeness for movie roles. I mean, on what basis other than money, this could have been done? They were afraid of not being able to pull off putting face and voice together? It was done with Darth Vader, 40 years ago. And see how well that worked out.

I heard Randez give an interview on youtube when AC came out (though it was really unrelated to the game and only got a mention) and his voice and english isn't out of place from Desmond. I mean Nolan North had years of voice training and gives voice acting lessons himself so that part shouldn't be a problem. Ultimately these decisions are made by executives who have the idea of making characters more approachable to the "key demographics" they are aiming the game at. More often then not these executives make a blunder with it and mess up the core of a series they are changing things for. Honestly, you would be surprised at how many times it happens that executives bring together several different groups (lets say 50-75 at a time) and make major decisions based off of maybe 350 peoples opinions. Moreso though they simply make a judgement call based on how they see the market for the genre going... Basically its about how much they can sell and not the game/series/whatever. In my opinion though it should be the people who developed the franchise at the ground level whose opinion should hold the most weight in the decision process (within a franchise like this) but I doubt they will and I doubt Randez would get the part, particularly now that they have deliberately stopped using his likeness. -- ► Kaloneous ◄ ♣HelpDesk♣ 14:13, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
Im madly in love with Francisco as Desmond, if i had a Blue Jen to grant me three wishes he would be one of them, the second, a slave to my every whim and the third, for my lifetime. MonauralFeline!. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. :-( 108.76.215.3 05:07, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
