The GAP filmed!

Post by **Dutch** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 3:46 am

Well, no matter who plays as what characters in the Gap films, my butt is still calling sick the day that movie comes out!

I mean, if it WERE to come out...not sure how you'd divvy the films up... Or make it the ultimate mini-series for HBO or something like that. I'd say Sci-fi Channel, but...too much strong sexual situations, violence and swearing would be occuring throughout.

Khm... is there _any_ major Hollywood-film, save for Disney's stock, in which there is no big-time swearing and violence?

I think SRD was joking about Vin Diesel. Hence the "wink". Atleast, I hope he was joking. I can act better than Diesel.

Any major "Hollywood" film. That's another thing, if I had my way, major Hollywood studios would NOT get their hands on any of SRD's work if he and some indy film makers decided to make it into a series of movies. I'd keep something like that independent as humanly possible.

The Gap series will never be filmed.

Edit by Ur-Vile: This is Darth being silly. Ignore Orangeman's posts.

Why are you so positively negative about it, Orangeman? That's the one I find easiest to visualize. It plays in my head as a film trilogy.

I don't think they'll be filmed. I mean there not popular enough to be filmed... imo...

A book doesn't have to be popular to be filmed. It just has to catch the cinematic imagination of the right people in the movie business.

A lot of times, people read a book because they liked the movie.

They don't need to be popular. What they need is a good script written out of them that catches the producers' eyes and fantasies.

I saw Maury Chaykin in an episode of Andromeda this afternoon. It reminded me: if only he were younger. He can do Angus's "bloated malice" to the life. And he has excellent range -- see Unstrung Heroes.

hey, i could see maybe Sam Raimi doin the Gap Cycle or TCTC, maybe...i think Mordants Need would be more suited to the big screen though...or maybe a well done straight to dvd release..

The Gap could be done like 24 - well the last 3 books.

I truly hope that you all are kidding about Vin Diesel playing Angus. To be honest, I think it should be an unknown actor, someone new. Someonelike......me!

Post by **elmer** » Fri Aug 27, 2004 6:54 pm

I vote:
Dennis Hopper for Angus, (if he weren't so old)
Jodie Foster or Jenna Elfman for Min Donner.

Post by **Loredoctor** » Sat Aug 28, 2004 1:23 pm

Foster is a good choice, yes.

Man, of all of SRD's books, this one was the easiest for me to imagine all of the characters in terms of actors.

Morn: Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black)

Angus Thermoplye: Dan Hedaya (Played Nixon in Dick, Nick Tortelli on Cheers)

Mikka Vassik: Claudia Black (Farscape's Aeryn Soong)

Nick Succorso: Bill Pullman
(Depp would work too)

Dolph Ubikwe: George Harris II (CAPT Katanga in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Somali Arms dealer in Black Hawk Down)

Hashi Lebwohl: Bob Balaban (Jonathan Steinbloom in A Mighty Wind, Dr. Chandra in 2010)

Min Donner: Bebe Neuwirth (Lillith on Cheers)

Marc Vestibule: Christopher Walken

Holt Fasner: Ben Kingsley

The Bill: Anthony Michael Hall (as he was in Pirates of Silicon Valley)

Sorus Chatelaine: Sigourney Weaver (she does menace nicely, plus she's the right age to have whupped Succorso)

So, whaddyall think?
