Covenant fantasy casting.

Post by firelion »

If you could have any actors from any eras,who would they be?Example since I first saw Twister,my mental image of Linden has been Helen Hunt-although I believe she is too old now for the part.What about a younger Clint Eastwood or Lliam Neeson as Covenant?Bruce Lee as Bannor etc.Alec Guiness as Lord Mhoram.Brando as Trell.

Is there any reason to start a new thread on this?

Probably not, but there's no harm done I think, especially in the way that the question was phrased.

BTW, Obi-Wan was Alec Guiness, dead now, alas.

I think what firelion is saying is that lets pretend that he isn't: that we can have any actor at any stage during their career. Like Alec Guiness when he was not dead, or Helen Hunt when she was younger.

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

:lol: If you're directing that at me Vs, I guessed that, and if at amanibhavam, that's what I meant when I mentioned how the question was phrased. ;)

Jimmy Stewart as Covenant?
"Why, Lord Foul, you're nothing but a warped, frustrated old man!"

Edward G. Robinson as Foul?
"Where's your white gold NOW?"

Moe, Larry, and Curly as the Giant-Ravers?
"That must be the King."

The Three Stooges wouldn't work very well as Ravers; in order to do physical comedy, you have to have physical bodies.

And as far as I'm concerned, Tim Curry's voice, suitably deepened of course, would be perfect for our dear Lord Foul.

Ah!!! Lord Foul with a British accent.
"I say, old man, would you like some crumpets with your tea? Hurry along now, we've got a Ritual to complete."

Oh no! I just pictured Lord Foul in the fire wearing way too much makeup and a leather teddy.

He's just a little brought down because...
when you knocked....
he thought you were the...candy-ring man."

Lord Foul: Let's break the Arch of Timewarp a-gaaaaaaaaain!
Drool Rockworm: Just a step to the left. AND THEN A STEP TO THE RIIIIIIIIGHT!
Mhoram: Lord Foul seems... somewhat changed, Ur-Lord.
Covenant: It's a trick! Dammit, can't you understand that Foul wants you to believe that? Hell and blood! Hellfire! Don't touch me!
Ur-vile: *Roynish sounds. And honking, for some strange reason.*

Foul could only ever be British. No-one can be that dastardly while sounding like a redneck.

I needed that.

Jeff Foxworthy would work, too.

I think having Ron White in the movie would be a good thing too....

Lord Foxworthy the Despiser: You know you're a redneck when you visit your daughter, the High Lord, looking for a girlfriend.

Ron White-Gold Wielder: They call me "'Tater Salad... the Unbeliever".

Bannor the Cable Guy: Git 'er done... because we suffice.

Bill Engvain: *Hands out signs and just sort of stands there.*
