I see Alyson Hannigan as Georgia:
Incidentally, I see Nicolas Brenden as Billy. (Not deliberately, it just worked out that way.)
Wow... they're... kinda perfect, aren't they?

Well I think I've found my perfect Laura Raith...

Sinful Mandy


yes, she's a nude model, but still.... she has the body and the seductivity    :)

I still think Paul Bettney is perfect for Kincaid and Eric Roberts as Marcone.

Still trying to find the rest that I think are "perfect" fits...

While both of those ladies can certainly handle the sexiness of the role (MM more than Stoya, IMHO)... can they act?

I love Kevin McKidd, and would love to see him cast here somewhere... but I feel his talents would be wasted as Hendricks.  The guy has like 2 speaking lines in the whole of the books.  I COULD see McKidd playing Michael Carpenter, though.  He can definitely pull off the humanity that role requires.

How about Paul Giamatti as Mort?  :)

MM doesn't look the part, and Stoya is too small....

And nude models are not porn stars   lol

pornstars act?  :o

not exactly the main job requirement is it? that's my point actually, we may want to consider beyond initial type casting to whether they can portray the character, OR why not just make it animated?

As mentioned, not a huge guy, where Hendricks is. He's also kind of monosyllabic. I'm telling you,  Andrew Bryniarski. He is good at big, scary thugs who speak with their expression and body language more than their words. If you've seen Firefly, you know what I'm talking about.
Kevin McKidd would be better elsewhere, I think. He seems to be able to pull off quite a few different looks and make it look natural, so maybe he could be Martin. He'd also be fine for Michael, though not my first choice.
...This photo right here, though:

really makes me think 'Rudolph.'

sienna guillory as Murpy, she was Jill Valentine in Resident Evil,

and What about Milla Jovovich as Lea? She's got that look like she's beautiful yet deadly.
Magic, motherf*cker.

She does, I agree, but I see her more as Lara. As I said earlier:


I would not cast anyone but Christina Hendricks as Lea.



Beautiful, sexy, deadly; check, check, check.


Speaking of beautiful and deadly, Summer Glau as the Summer Lady:

Nice looking guy but not weaselly ( my apologies to weasels) enough to be Rudy.
