The Chronicles FILMED!

And now for something completely different - how about Tim Robbins as Thomas Cov'nant? (Unless of course someone else has already suggested him - this is one DAAAAAAANG long subject / response to subject.)
But hear then, for good or ill. I fulfill the law of my creation. My maker can require no more of me.

If I were the director, I'd let Robbins read for the part.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I like Matt Damon, but I don't see him as Covenant. Same for Jude Law. TC never struck me as a handsome man, and both are too good looking.
Gary Oldman is a definite yes, but I'd rather see Gary COLEman play TC than Tobey Maguire or Tom Hanks.
No offense intended, just my humble opinion stated brashly, in the tradition of SRD.

Tom Hanks? TOM HANKS? But he has only ever played two characters in his whole career; Forrest Gump, and Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks the gay lawyer with AIDS. Tom Hanks the kid in an adults body. Tom Hanks the astronaut. Tom Hanks stuck on a desert island. Tom Hanks the cop chasing Leonardo Di Caprio around the US.

Now. this suggestion might seem a little strange, but I can picture Paul Bettany (Chaucer from A Knight's Tale) as Covenant.
He has a certain ability to be intense, and subdued. Plus, put a scruffy beard and moustache on him, grow out his hair a bit, and he kind of resembles my mental image of Covenant.

Ever see his work in Beauty and the Beast? He played a gentle "beast" with the capacity for great violence.burgs66 wrote:He's certainly better than Matthew McGrory from Big Fish.
But I think Perlman has too much of an edge to him, and Foamfollower is about as gentle of a giant as can be imagined. I'm not sure Perlman could pull that off.
