Actually, apart from Tolkien and Donaldson I don't read any fantasy/sci fi anymore. I'm currently reading The Beginnings of Rome by T.J. Cornell - purely non-fiction.

I suppose I'm just listing some of my favorite actors here... Morn: Franka Potente (hopefully she can do an American accent) Angus: Bruce Willis (uglified) Nick: Johnny Depp Holt: Ben Kingsley Warden Dios: Anthony Hopkins Mikka: Sigourney Weaver Vector: Robert Duvall Milos: Ralph Fiennes Min: Jodie ...

Or have Morn played by Naomi Watts (blonde from Mulholland Drive) and let Franka play Mikka.

The movie couldn't be done in the U.S. though because of all the sexual violence.
