Casting call
CASTING CALL -- Okay, I've given this some thought and I must say that Marlon Brando as the Tor is absolutely brilliant! Heath Ledger as Geraden is another excellent suggestion. Patrick Stewart as King Joyse however is a bit much though don't you think? I always pictured King Joyse to appear more like Richard Harris appeared in Harry Potter...old, feable but yet still somehow powerful and wise. But for Master Eremis I have what I feel is the definitive suggestion....John DeLance (better known as "Q" from Star Trek TNG) . . . . Opinions?
Another Fine Suggestion (IMHO)
Skyweir - glad you approve of the suggestion for Eremis...I have what I feel is another difinetive selection for a Mordant character...Master Barsonage to be played by Wilferd Brimley (remember, the oatmeal guy?) "It's the right thing to do" / His persona and physical appearence match pretty closely to what I always pictured in my mind Barsonage would look like....opinions?

isn't he dead?
Isn't Brimley dead?--way 2 old in any case--I still like Oliver Reed, fatty, stocky and very strong looking! I could live w/Q but I really can't stand the guy--Day Lewis would still b my first choice. Thankfully I'm not a woman (just yet! ), but if I were I think I'd pick Day Lewis over Q in the "sexy" dept. I really wish u had stuck this in the MN~the Movie thread--cause it's essentially the same thing - but since I'm the easiest going Moderator u'll ever find, nevermind!

Dios: Yes, I think Richard Harris would be a perfect Joyce. Although Patrick Stewart is a fine actor, I would find it hard to believe that he was only a feeble old man. While Harris could be believable as both weak-Joyse and strong-Joyse.
I can see Patrick Stewart as...oh shoot, the name escapes me...the one who sent all of his wounded to Joyse because he was so angry.
AH!!! What's his name???
De Lancie as Eremis is good, too. I loved him as Q!

Harris as Joyce, Stewart as The Termigan or The Perdon?
That is an interesting choice ms. Tho, 4 some reason, I had my heart set on Nick Nolte playing the Termigan. I think it's probably bcause I've always envisioned him as a concrete block of a man, whereas I've always thought of the Perdon as more of a Stewart type...I also like the Richard Harris idea 4 Joyce--can look very frail! But those who have followed Harris's career in such films as A Man Called Horse, The Unforgiven, The Wild Geese and Gladiator know he can b darn tuff and commanding when he wants 2 b...the real problem in casting would b 2 get the proper Havelock 2 oppose him--I think Malkovich fits in well w/Stewart as Joyce but may or may not work w/Harris (I dunno he's a dam good actor, could possibly pull it off) Havelock does remain, imo, the tuffest character 2 cast...btw ms welcome the MN and the Watch!

Castellan Lebbick
Hum. This seem to be a rather dead discussion, but I have to write here anyway. I found the most perfect Castellan Lebbick in an episode of the half-new Mission Impossible: there he played a really unpleasent villain and I believe his name is Grigor Taylor. I donยดt now of anything else he has appeared in. But he seemed the perfect haunted type.
