Why not?

Because JD is only good at pirates and weird chocolate making men.

uh.......first of all

no

second of all

no

third of all

no

and fourth of all

Because i said so.

JD's performance (in any movie i've seen him in) is a little too quirky to be placed a Lord Foul the Despiser--a crucial character in the series...

maybe not his voice...but makeup can do a rather LARGE touch up on his appearance when he finally shows himself to Covenant rather than engulf himself in darkness...

Actually, Johnny Depp as Amok.

It'd make me watch the film for all the wrong reasons!

Jonny Depp as vain??
the topic sais depp as covenant which isnt impossible to imagine
the post sais depp as foul which mmmmmmm..............NO!

I could see him as Chant!

The only thing I want to see Mr. Depp in is a snuff film.

Depp strikes me as too young for the role, despite Covenant being 30 in the First Chrons. Ah well. Just hard to picture a bitter, cowed-down Depp. Maybe I haven't been watching the right movies.

watch the Secret Window....no...never mind...

Depp is so wrong for the part on so many levels. John Goodman would make a better TC.

they should go with an unknown for TC

I don't say this in any gay kind of way, but Depp is too damn pretty to be TC or any kind of central character in a LFB movie. He's the kind of actor who should be saved to play Amok in TEW (as has already been mentioned in this thread) or one of the Elohim -- that is if you use him at all.

I saw "King Kong" today and, after reading this thread, have begun to wonder if Colin Hanks could pull off the TC role -- if he could lose as much weight as his old man did once to play the guy in "Philadelphia."

If anyone in Hollywood is serious about bringing SRD's vision to the screen and truly believes it could be a successful "franchise," there needs to be a young man in LFB -- one that can believably be seen as a young, successful, healthy author, only to have everything yanked out from under him by his leprosy.

I can see casting older actors in the role of TC, but if you actually believe you can get more than a couple of films out of it, you need to find someone close to the age that TC is in LFB -- 30, give or take a year or two, if memory serves.

TC is a great series, but it doesn't have nearly the built-in fanbase that other recent fantasy films have, and I seriously doubt (especially after reading about the travails of bringing LFB to production) that filming two or three movies at once a la "Lord of the Rings" is a viable option. I can see LFB becoming a movie, but TEW and TPTP? Only if the first is a big success -- and there could be a couple of years in between ...

i could imagine Adrien Brody doing TC...
He's young enough.

well, that's what the subject of King Kong brought up on my mind. Sorry if i'm off the subject.

Just imainge him yelling, "Don't Touch Me!"

No!No!No!

I always thought Johnny would make a great TC.


Of course, after seeing KIng Kong, I thought Adrien Brody would also make an excellent TC. He would also make a good Mhoram.

Brody's got the nose for Mhoram.

I think Joaquin Phoenix could pull it off. He doesn't really have the look, but I think he has the acting talent. They can make him look lilke TC.
