Yeah. TC has been cast to death, tho. Lots of others characters have, too. I tried to pick three that had not really had a lot of discussion before. And they all had to be in the same movie, but also had to not be in the previous movie, which made it tougher.

For Amok how about Mark Vande Brake...

and for Lord Hyrim how about John Favreau...

Eliza Dushku for Rue...

wow...

One I can actually at least enter, even if I don't win.

*must give some thought*

Jenn, is that picture of Mark Vande Brake taken from the movie Willow?

I just watched Willow for the first time on Saturday. Great movie.

Now, to get back on topic, I think your acting picks are pretty good.

OK...my choices would be impossible to cast, but if I had a caesure in which to cull the cast at the perfect times...
(I admit the way I picture the characters is probably way different from anyone else)

Believe it or not...

Benny Hill as L-rd Hyrim...

I have to cast both parts for Gay/Rue...

Winhome Gay

Manethrall Rue

...both played by Audrey Hepburn...

and finally...

Amok

...played by a very young Mickey Rooney...

When I first saw Mark Vande Brake in Willow I thought, "Oh he would be the perfect Amok if they ever make the Chrons into movies. Thanks for the support Auleliel. Menolly, I think Hepburn is too elegant. I picked Dushku because she's beautiful and she has a tomboy element that I always pictured all the manethrall females to possess. I think Hepburn would make a better Elena. Benny Hill is an interesting choice.

Elegant?
Always.

But a tomboy as well?
You bet.

But as I said, I'm not selling my vision of how I see the characters to anyone as I doubt anyone would picture the characters as I do. These are how I saw the characters as I first read the books. Not actors I saw later that I said, "oh, <actor's name> would make the perfect <character's name> is they ever made a movie of the chrons." This is how I visualized them; I just had to find the pictures to match what I saw.

I have a very hard time picturing Hepburn running through a field and garroting kresh. Picturing Dushku doing it is easy.

*shrug*

Ever see her pictures in the refugee camps when she was ambassador for UNICEF?
Kresh garroting would be easy, compared to what she lived.

I admit though, I am a hardcore Audrey Hepburn fan. Not necessarily of the actress, but of the woman and lady.

...just wanted to say I agree here...if we are talking about a young Katherine Hepburn...
Strength, power, force of will, and beauty.
And also a lover of horses, or so I understand.

But, I digress, as we're not talking Elena here...

Post by **Cameraman Jenn** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 2:39 am

I'm gonna digress a bit. What about Katherine as Lena?

YouTube · Post by **Menolly** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 2:53 am

*shakes head*

No...
I've always seen Lena more innocent, fragile than Katherine ever portrayed. Katherine was way more "hard as nails."

Nowadays I see Lena as a young Charlize Theron, doing vulnerable.

*you'll never, ever, in a million years, imagine who I pictured Lena as when I first read the book*

...but maybe this should be moved to the TC movie forum, even though I don't frequent that area...

Jeez... we can't agree on anyone can we?

girlfriend, we have seen time and again that you and I have very, very different tastes...

Variety is the spice of life, eh?

Post by **Cameraman Jenn** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 3:28 am

How about Kathy Bates or Kathleen Turner as Joan?

YouTube · Post by **Menolly** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 3:35 am

Kathleen Turner? BINGO!!!
Excellent!!!

There is no such thing as 'too' elegant.

Did no one pick up on the hint? Or do you wish really wish to cast dead people?

All the people I picked are alive and well.
