Nivvr thought I'd agree with GW in the Casting Thread.  Glau for Luccio 2.0.

No, no, no, no - too botoxed looking.  Lucio has to have a VERY expressive face.

but she's described (as 2.0) as being Hot Coed.  That's Glau in a nutshell.

Yeah, but said hot coed has to be able to act.  Glau is too wooden for my tastes.
And given Lucio's history you need someone with a very mobile, very expressive face and body.
That's not Glau.  Sorry.  Of course this is my opinion, everyone has their own opinions.

Summer Glau actually is quite expressive, except when she was in SCC, but she was playing a robot in that.

Yeah, adds another loud WTF.  No, I don't think so.  Michael has to instantly inspire trust in people.  Gandalfini does NOT do that.
He, I'm sorry, looks like what he played - a mobster.

My suggestions for casting.  Sorry if I repeat some, 207 pages is abit much to read through.

Thomas: WWE wrestler John Morrison.
Ebenezer:  Wilford Brimly or Ed Asner.
Butters:  the guy who played the assistant coach on Evening Shade.
Injun Joe:  the old indian from Outlaw Josie Wales (yes, I know he's dead)
Ancient Mai: the old chinese pirate from Pirates of the Carribean; Land's End.
Langtry (merlin): The guy who played Saruman(sp?) in the Two Towers.
Morgan: Liev Schrieber (sp?)
Micheal: the guy who played Boromir in Lord of the Rings.
Sanya: Alonso Bodin (from last comic standing)

Sorry for not knowing all their names.

Lol - wouldn't that be "World's End?" ;)

I picture her as much better looking than that - not hot or anything but like an elegant and poised young woman whose time has passed.

I like the idea of Christopher Lee (aka Saruman) playing Langtry. Largely because Lee does an excellent bad guy and I have my own opinions/suspicious about ol' Langtry and where his loyalties lie.

Not Liev Schreiber - seems too unintelligent and thuggy to me. Yeah, I know - Harry likes to villify Morgan. But filtering past Harry's heavy bias, he's definately an intelligent and non-thug kind of guy. I'm kind of thinking Tim Roth could do a good job, although I'm not sure if he's too small and sneaky-seeming to play the generally straightforward Morgan.

Not Sean Bean (aka Boromir) for Michael I'm afraid. I'm a huge Michael fan and I really don't get the right vibe from him, although I'd like to see him play someone else - maybe even Kincaid.
