I just realized who would be perfect for Luccio 2.0, based on the mention of her "killer dimples" when she smiles...


My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Kincaid?

I don't think Urban is physically big enough for Kincaid. 
Maybe Tilly?

Maybe...I'm not so sure she has enough life to play Luccio, though. Summer Glau has been great in everything I've seen her in but I think that's largely due to the types of roles she gets (emotionally unstable, robotic, etc.) I tend to think that Glau has strange mannerisms in real life, too - ones that she can't overcome for a role. She hasn't had to because there are plenty of "off" roles for her to play but still...I'm not sure she's got the acting ability to pull of the complicated Luccio.

Okay so apparently the rights have reverted back to Jim early (as the title mentions) that means we need to start planning the new TV/Movie/HBO/Animated/Whatever - Series :D

Here is what I am suggesting an HBO style TV series with 6 episodes a season each two hours long.Below is my "dream team" of who would be involved in the project.

Quote from: The Crew
Show Runner/Head Honcho/Executive Producer - Joss Whedon
Director - Matthew Vaughn
Scriptwriters - Jane Goldman, Zack Snyder, Greg Weisman, J.J Abrams  With those mentioned above also contributing to the writing process.
He Who Possesses The Veto Power - Jim Butcher ( I don't think I need to link to his wikipedia account :P)


Quote from: The Cast
Main Characters
Harry Dresden -
Karrin Murphy -
Bob the Skull -
Thomas Raith -
Molly Carpenter - Cloe Moretz (played Hit Girl in Kickass) as teen, Olivia Wilde (Played Quorra in Tron: Legacy) around Turn Coat and above.

Supporting Characters
John Marcone -
Billy Borden -
Michael Carpenter -
Sanya -
Shiro - George Takei
Nicodemus - Alan Rickman (Played Hans Gruber in Die Hard)
Ivy -
Ebenezer McCoy -
Donald Morgan -
Lara Raith - 

As you can see I left the cast mostly blank, why?

Because I honestly don't know who would fit the rolls. Yah.

I have to say, I hadn't thought of it, but Rickman could do an awesome creepy Nicodemus!

Donald Morgan - Sean Bean a little rough around the edges and plenty of gravitas
John Marcone - Chazz Palminteri (wrong eye color, but thats fixable post production, might be a bit to heavy set as well)

I would go Clancy Brown as Donald Morgan though.

OK. I realize this is from left field, but I really like baseball.
Ken Jeong for Dr. Butters. Sure he's not yankee/caucasian/Jewish. But having a Jewish polka loving Korean ME would be just quirky enough. And Dr. Jeong could pull it off, too.
And I voted for Jared P. as Harry because almost all of the rest of them are 6' 2" tops. Harry has got to tower over everybody. And JP is the right age. I might have gone for the guy from The Middle, but he's 50 for Pete's sake! Otherwise, he'd do pretty well. I always thought Harry was almost based on Clint Eastwood.
