*pouts* I hate you all. My book did not come today. I swear, next time I preorder a book from Amazon, I'm ordering it 10 months in advance instead of eight.

*glomps*
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

Hey Tiny, it might not be Amazon - it might be your post office delaying things.
I pre-ordered about a month ago or so and it came in yesterday.
Granted it was on a friend's fancy Amazon but when I ordered Harry Potter years ago, same thing, arrived a day early.

Lol! It seems like everyone but the police feel that way. The wet blankets.

Hrmm y'know, I originally had Jeff Bridges for Michael, but he'd make a great Ebenezer too...after his turn as the Bald but Bearded Obidiah Stane in Iron Man I cna relaly see him in the role...

Then I'm back to being stuck on Michael...8P

Hrm...Kris Kristofferson as Ebenezer? he can act and looks great for the part.

How about James Cosmo for Eb? He played Hamish's father in Braveheart, you know, the berserk warrior father who they had to pull the arrow out of?

Hey that's a good one, but can he do an American southern accent?...8)
I was just thinking maybe Harvey Keitel myself.

Also, found a good candidate for Michael, Michael Sheen, played Lucian in underworld...maybe a bit on the creepy side though?

Does anyone remember Jared Leto from Lord of War? Screams Thomas Raith, both in looks and in character.

Yes, way too creepy...and kind of gaunt looking. Not tall and broad-shouldered enough to play Michael. He's pretty awesome as Lucian, though, and I'd love to see him get some kind of role in a Dresden movie.

I could totally see Nathan Fillion as Harry and maybe Kristen Bell as Murphy


But here is what I would do. I am addicted to the audio versions of the books and James Marsters totally owns the voice of Harry. So why not do a CGI movie done really well like Animatrix and Beowulf. Then James can do the voice of Harry and then Jim can help make him look like he is suppose to. It would be much easier to create  magical entities and the never-never if it's all CGI.


Either way I think some kind of cinematic version of Dresden would totally rock.
