Naw, as odd as it sounds - to me Mab has to be both etherial and very solid - sorta of like
a cross between a frost crystal and a freaking avalance - if that makes any sense?

Stana Katic for Susan.

She's not latina.  Exotic European looks, yes, but not latina.   I know JB like Erica Cerra from Eureka, so if it works for him, it works for me.

Jennifer Connelly for Lara. I can't believe no one's suggested her yet.

See, my problem is that when I look at casting for these roles, I really think about who can play the part for a series, as opposed to who look correct right now.

If TDF were put on TV as a premium channel series, and they did two books a year, you're still looking at 10+ years of filming.  So Jennifer Connelly, as gorgeous as she may be, is 41 right now, and would be in her early to mid 50's by the time the series was over.

That's why I keep casting young.  I see Mab as being a hot 40's FQILF, but you'd have to cast much younger than that to keep the character consistent.

Well, since very few if anyone seem to like/care about Molly, here's my latest favorite.
I gave what I think were a few good Mollys, post is at the top of page 250. My favorites were Emma Roberts, AnnaSophia Robb or Emily Browning

Jonathan Hyde as the Merlin? He has snooty British down pat.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0404993/

All the actresses I can think of for young-adult Molly are, by definition, too old to play Molly when she was first introduced. I'm not that familiar with child actresses these days, and I think Molly was around 8 or 10 when she first appears.  I just saw a trailer for some kids movie, though, and girls look promising:


Jordana Beatty (rewriting Molly as a rehead, please?): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1970642/
Taylar Hender (who does not look 13): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2979895/
Ashley Boettcher (no info on her age): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2172001/

I guess I'll have to ask the Ladies on this one.  Is this guess handsome enough to be Thomas?  Because he was awesome in Hellboy, and I'd love to see him in there somewhere.  I could see him being Thomas...(although he's really my frisrt choice to play Drizz't Do'urden in a Drizzt movie....but thats another story)

Luke Goss?  From Bros?  Oh for the love of all that is unholy, no!

I can see what you're thinking though.  He's made a better career as an actor than he ever did as a singer IMHO.

What about Toby Jones as Mortimer Lindquist? I just feel like he has the right look and voice for the role. Admittedly, the only things I've seen him in are Doctor Who and Harry Potter (he's the voice of Dobby).

He was in a band?  Didnt know that at all.  I was really just thinking for the action scenes.  I thought the fight scenes with the spear (which was a Badass weapon IMO) were awesome in hellboy..and i kind of like the softspokenness he had.  Like im going to tell you softly how I'm going to kill you...

Okay, I've found my current crush for Leah.

Klodi Monsoon
Age:  24
A Ukranian model.  Does artistic shots and some nudes, so she probably wouldn't have a problem with any risqué stuff in TDF.  Not sure if she could act her way out of a box, but her looks should get her a casting call.

Lol, one of the suicide girls? I mean she is hot enough for it and I have seen models turn into fine actresses Tricia Helfer for one. But I don't know about this one.

Ooh, she definitely has the look down. Bonus if she's capable of acting.

More important that she can act guys.  Lea's too important a character to have someone with the acting skills
of a canned anchovie.

To be fair, I've seen some brilliant anchovie actors.


Until they got canned of course.  Then they got drunk and just lay there.
