Re: Casting Various Lords
Christopher Lee ... hardly inspired. No, I always imagined Prothall to be more grandfatherly. He's a nice guy not cut out for hard times. I'm thinking of someone more close ... but the name escapes me ... I'll get back.Zahir wrote:High Lord Prothall ... Christopher Lee

Osondrea ... Dench is too old. Osondrea is a middle-aged woman.
Mhoram is too sympathetic for a Rickman. He's more of a Neeson.
And... seriously ... I think Kevin Costner would be an interesting Lord Kevin.
.
<smack>....Wayfriend, that's brilliant! I second Costner for Kevin.
I think Rickman would make a good Quaan.

Re: Casting Various Lords
Finally ! Someone agrees with me. I can't see anyone else playing Mhoram except Neeson. It's the nose LOLWayfriend wrote:

well, that and other things, but I think Neeson is a hands down choice.Brian: Who cured you?
Ex-Leper: Jesus did, sir. I was hopping along, minding my own business, all of a sudden, up he comes, cures me! One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next minute my livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by-your-leave! "You're cured, mate." Bloody do-gooder.
Brian: Well, why don't you go and tell him you want to be a leper again?
Ex-Leper: Uh, I could do that sir, yeah. Yeah, I could do that I suppose. What I was thinking was I was going to ask him if he could make me a bit lame in one leg during the middle of the week. You know, something beggable, but not leprosy, which is a pain in the @$$ to be blunt and excuse my French, sir.

Christopher Lee is more of a Verement than Prothall.
I see Prothall being more of a taller Hume Crone... no idea who yet
Neeson for Mhoram.
Variol - Hopkins would be good, but uber expensive.
Tamarantha - Is Jessica Tandy still alive?
Osondrea...hmmm... wait for it... Linda Hunt
Cloris Leachman for Shetra.
Hyrim... I know this seems unlikely but.... Nathan Lane?
Callindril - Michael Caine
Amatin... how about J. Garafalo?
Trevor - Kenneth Branaugh
Loerya - Emma Thompson (if those two still talk to each other)

I don't see Jude Law as Mhoram. Maybe more as Triock! 
(Yeah, Jude Law is thin and wiry, and Stonedownors are stocky...but that's a minor technicality, heh.)
As long as Ben Stiller doesn't end up making a cameo
Costner as Kevin? Hard for me to picture Costner doing a devastated, despairing Kevin. But as the laid-back Kevin of the glory years, sure. Branaugh, on the other hand, is well-equipped to do despair and tragedy. And here's another thing: Branaugh can do an American accent, too, if needed for Kevin. Meanwhile, we know Costner would have difficulty with an English accent.

My only real disagreement. I think Branaugh would make an excellent Kevin instead.Trevor - Kenneth Branaugh
