MUWAHAHA! I love that I got a rise out of everyone by suggesting M Night. I knew that with the recent opinions on Last Airbender that his name was bound to stir something up. HAHAHA!
...I like Jim's choice of Clancy Brown to play Morgan.
Yes, I still think Stephen Lang might fit this role a little better, but Clancy Brown was fanatic (and fantastic) in Highlander, and he was a pretty good Sgt in Starship Troopers (one of my favorite movies despite what others think)
Luc Besson is also amazing
Yes, Luc is one of my favorites, I thought about him when making the list, but I couldn't seriously see him doing DF, he has such a different feel to his movies, for example, Fifth Element, Unleashed, District B-13, The Professional.....I don't know, maybe he could....
I saw Inception, today.
I was a little skeptical of Ellen Page playing Molly, but now I think she pull it off. There are a lot of problems with that though. She doesn't fit the description of Molly, albeit better then Fanning, and would be too old to grow with the role.
I still vote a big fat NO to Ellen Page, but that's just me, I don't care to see her (or her
fivehead) in anything.
And why we still hatin' on Fanning. I think everyone will be agreeing with me in a year or two.
Which is why I now point you dead right at my new choice(s) for Molly:
Molly Carpenter -- Sammi Hanratty (younger Molly)/ Deborah Ann Woll (Molly circa PG to Changes)
Deborah Ann Woll would be great, but they would have to hurry up and get to like Proven Guilty or somewhere around there so they could transition to Woll. IMO it might be a little too late for Woll to play Molly considering 12 books so far, so Woll would be like 28+ when Molly hits like 17. However she could also be a great Lea.
At the beginning of Storm Front, Jim says that Harry is in his mid-20s, so anywhere between the back end of the 24 to 27 spectrum. Jim also says that Harry is a year younger than him [Jim, that is] in Changes. Jim's birthyear is 1971 which makes him 39, so Harry's 38
This is kind of why I disagree with Alexis Denisof (44). Yeah sure he fits Harry perfectly at the current part in the series, but Denisoff playing 24-27 year old.......I don't know, that's really stretching. IMHO I think the actors age should be a little more authentic, and should at least come close to the character. I think a good rule of thumb would be no more than 10 years older than the characters age (at whatever point in the story).
Of course I try to be
realistic in my
fake casting.
