NOT Tim Allen!

I've always been impressed with how Johnny Depp can fall into a role - I'd suggest him but I think he's a little too good looking.

Arnold Schwarziwozzit for Saltheart? He can be quite congenial in his own way - every now and then ;)

And to be further slayed, Kevin Costner for TC :)

Actually, I don't see a movie or two cutting it. There isn't enough broad public knowledge of SRD's works for it to be a viable movie project.

However, it would make for a really good TV series if made well enough.

The second time I read TCTC1, I was also watching Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unfortunately, I now associate Levarr Burton as Geordie La Forge with Hile Troy.

There it is folks. The bare truth.

I do not watch ST, so about the last guy I remember from it is the Shatner guy, but he would only be capable to play the halfhanded truck-driver from TIW...

If the Chronicles were to be filmed I think I'd rather have unknown actors.

Is there a Hile Troy topic here?

Post by danlo »

I don't know if Hile Troy What a Berk topic followed us here--but if not Hearth could u start it up again w/a link. I've always thought of Hile as black, no not just his outfit. Probably thinking of LeVarr because Jordie is blind and his visor--congers up images of Troy's wraparound sunglasses...

Yep...but still, when the movie finally comes out (what? you don't believe there will ever be a movie?), can you truly see Levarr Burton as Hile Troy?

Of course, by that time Levarr may be a little long in the tooth.

Look for Hile Troy...Berk coming to a discussion board near you soon.

OK - So I'm now 2/3's of the way through The Illearth War, and for now, Elena strikes me as the Queen in Star Wars Episode 1 - Don't remember her name though.

point taken amy .. kudos .. it would take all the fun and controversy out of a thread such as this .. :wink: ..

The Phantom Menace ..Queen Amidala (sp?) .. played by Natalie Portman ..

< a geek to the bone >

.. but personally I dont see her playing Elena .. Elena seems older and ... taller ... somehow .. :wink: ..

That's the one - Natalie. I just take the formal/regal tone of speech when she addressed other races etc and imagined Elena in very much the same light.

Did anybody mention Sean Connery as Lord Mhoram? I'm guessing that Mel Gibson could make for a useful TC and Steven Seagal would make a good Bannor :D
