MN ~ the movie!!!

[Avatar]

And she did. Thanks Jenn. You coulda at least left out the ones I listed. And I did say either didn't know or disagreed. But I appreciate it.

Damn, you must have the whole cast besides palace guards and the Monomach's Apts there.

Since you force me:

Terisa: Famke Janssen - Nope...not wishy-washy enough
Geraden: James Franco - Could be a bit more boyish
Reverend Thatcher: Robert Duvall - Good choice like I said.
Eremis: Geoffrey Rush - No way - too dopey looking. Eremis was sharp. Pointy.
Barsonage: David Thewliss - Where's his eyebrows?
King Joyse: Sean Connery - Good as I said.
Havelock: Anthony Hopkins - If he lost 15kg and grew his hair...sorta like in that escape movie...oh...the Rock. How ironic.
Gilbur: Brendan Gleason - Looks a bit jolly...Gilbur was dour and glowering.
Quillon: Ian Holm - Yes, definitely
The Tor: John Goodman - Hmmm...maybe (I knew who he was btw )
The Domne: Patrick Stewart - Good choice like I said.
The Termigan: Michael Gambon - No opinion (Fine iow, not enough impact to make me disagree)
The Perdon: Bernard Hill - No opinion
The Armigite: Paul Reubens - Yeah, good
The Fayle: Christopher Lee - Like the actor, but no opinion on role
Prince Kragen: Arnold Vosloo - No way. Needs to be more Arab looking...
Myste: Drew Barrymore - Could work
Elega: Kate Hudson - Could work
Torrent: Natalie Portman - Could work
Queen Madin: Susan Sarandon or Sharon Stone - Not regal enough
Artagel: Viggo Mortenson - Bit typecast for it? (only looked good in LotR anyway.)
Vagel: Ave Vigoda - No way...too jolly uncle like...need a "ming the merciless" kinda guy.
Gart: Ray Park - What? Uh-uh. Unless he wears a ninja mask and you can't see his face.
Darsint: The Rock aka Duane Johnson - Good choice
Saddith: Rose McGowan - Fine
Castellan Lebbick: - Tommy Lee Jones Good choice
Argus: Cary Elwes - Too clean cut.
Ribuld: David Wenham - Same...they were grizzled.
Stead: Hugh Jackman - Fine
Alend Monarch: Brian Cox - If he lost weight
Nyle: Colin Ferrell - No opinion
Minnick: Orlando Bloom - No opinion
Tholden: Sean Bean - Could be good with a beard
Quiss: Charlize Theron - Nah...(Tholden's wife right?) Not very solid dependable farm-wife-like.

(Haha, 2 South African's in that lineup. (Both of which I said no about.)

Jenn; first of all, I think you did a great job.

A couple of my own suggestions...

For King Joyce, rather than using the old standby of Sean Connery for a King, why not the ultimate inactive/active king?





Also for Erimis, this is who I got the impression of, being such a player with the honey's;



You know...without the gun obviously.

[Cameraman Jenn]

Well once I got started I liked having the pic right there by my choice so I just did em all. I think Famke Janssen could play wishywashy turned strong. I think she has the range.

Drew, I don't like Tom Cruise and I think he's creepy in the wrong way. What about Ralph Fiennes for Eremis?

[drew]

He's creepy in the RIGHT way.
SOME women ( but not all) drool over his looks ( like Eremis)
He's played cocky and arrogant quite well.

[matrixman]

Huh? There's a right or wrong way to be creepy? I thought creepy meant just that: CREEPY.

But I do thank you for explaining yourself, drew.

[Harrowed]

Donald Sutherland for King Joyce


Patrick McGoohan for King Joyce

[Avatar]

I could see Sutherland doing it with long greasy unkempt hair...Actually, they could both do it...needs somebody run-down and Shakespearean looking.

Some of those I could go for. Banderas for Kragen, for example. Others, not so much...Neeson for Tholden, Crowe for Joyce, I don't think so.

[ItisWritten]

Viggo Mortenson as Lebbick (I think he's ripe for the role)
Clive Owen as Kragen (you want dark, edgy and brooding? I do.)
Eremis -- ?

I'm picky. I think the suave, controlled Alan Rickman of Die Hard combined with David Thewlis' looks is perfect. I thought a suitably flip question was, did Eremis lose his mind because he simply saw himself in a mirror, or was it the extreme disappointment of finding out he wasn't pretty?

[wayfriend]

Okay, he seems to be in a lot of movies lately (Kick Ass, John Carter, Green Lantern, etc.) and it struck me.

Mark Strong: Master Eremis.

[Iolanthe]

Oh no, I can only envisage him as Mr Knightley in Emma!

[lorin]

did anyone notice the original post for this thread was posted in 1969.

[I'm Murrin]

That's just because of your time zone. It's actually Jan 1st, 1970, at exactly midnight. (:P It's an old bug, lot of older posts got hit with it somehow and all got dated 1970... kind of like what the Y2K bug would have done - it's the "zero" date/time on a lot of computer clocks.)

[Avatar]

What he said. ^

And back on topic, actually, I could see that guy as Eremis.

--A

[danlo]

Me too, though he looks a tad like Stanley Tucci

[VeraKeisey]

Cary Elwes as Artagel!
Hmmm, that's perfect.

[Linna Heartbooger]

I don't really know any actors' names, but..
Yay, Artagel!

Welcome to the Watch, Vera!

[Iolanthe]

I've never heard of Cary Elwes but looked him up on Google as the name is familiar. Sure enough, he is descended from the Lincolnshire Elwes family! He'll do.
