Yo chiefs! Why the hell should they even think about finding a good actor?! Why don't they just do the same thing that Resident Evil (by Capcom, too) is doing---one of those crazy realistic-looking movies done by computer? That way we can still have voice actor Reuben, and Dante would still look PERFECT(!) like on the game. (And so would the rest of the characters!)
I'm sorry, but Dante is waaaay too awesome to just have some dude with acne to come on screen and play as him, especially if he doesn't know a thing about the game or the story! That could still screw things up. Lets think outside the box, dudes...!

Not much to say...
...but Love.
What you should be listening to right now, if you love rock as much as I do:
Creed--- Bullets
Sevendust --- Feed, Driven
Chevelle --- Well Enough Alone
Because castles in the sand
Melt away into the sea
Eventually....
