Perfect Casting, part 2

[Warden John Marcone]

Bob: Alan Rickman (Can you imagine him saying “And they have boobs?”)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Griffyn612]

New random Dresden casting.  I don't know him from Survivor, but Colby Donaldson has a good ol' country boy twang as host of Top Shot on the History channel.

And he's kind of reminding me of the lean, strong jaw western type I usually picture Dresden as.

   

[Baalirock]

Ferrovax: Ralph Fiennes
Lily: Emily Browning
Erlking: David Bowie

I like all of these.  I can totally see Ralph done up as a Roman Centurion.  He would rock that!  Any excuse to see more of Emily Browning on film is a good one, and I think she could pull off Lily well.

Neuro... you totally need to throw together a pic of David Bowie as the Erkling.  He WAS the Goblin King, after all...   

[Warden John Marcone]

Erlking: David Bowie

I was laughing at Bob so much I missed this, and unfortunately I'll have to gainsay it.  The Erlking is described as having a handsome-yet-ugly face.

My first choice is:

Tom Waits.

Second choice:

Ron Perlman.

Hard to resist that 



I think Perlman would be a good choice, too.

[Snowleopard]

I'm sorry but David Bowie isn't crazed enough for the Erlking.
Now Gary Oldman maybe.

I'm sorry but David Bowie isn't crazed enough for the Erlking.

What, exactly, indicates that the Erlking must be "crazed" in some way? He isn't a berserker or a vampire consumed by bloodlust. I've always gotten the impression that he is a calmy competent predator, with a place in the natural order.

[Snowleopard]

I don't know - he is, after all, the master of the Wild Hunt and somewhat, let's see I don't think maniacal fits the bill - rather he's savage in nature and cruel.
Also, frankly, David Bowie does not look like  a force of nature.
Heck, even Gary Oldman doesn't fit that bill.

[NeuroHeart]

crazed
adjective:
1. insane; demented.
2. suffering loss of emotional control

savage
adjective:
1. fierce, ferocious, or cruel; untamed: savage beasts.
2. uncivilized; barbarous: savage tribes.
3. enraged or furiously angry, as a person.
4. unpolished; rude: savage manners.
5. wild or rugged, as country or scenery


They are a bit different. And the first definition of savage may suit the Erlking, but I still wouldn't say it fits entirely. He is a predator, but predators fit in the natural order, as I said. The Erlking also proved himself capable of civility, so he isn't entirely untamed.

Oh, if only there was an actor, or maybe even two, that could pull off the Force of Nature vibe, with a predator aura and a kick-ass scowl.



Oh wait...

Tom Waits.


Ron Perlman.

Is the Erl King green like gremlins?

Just sayin...

Okay, time for a revamp of the casting.  My wife helped with this one.

Harry Dresden = Nathan Fillion
Thomas Raith = Nathan Fillion]
Waldo Butters = Nathan Fillion
Michael Carpenter = Nathan Fillion  (attempted seduction by Bianca)
Kincaid = Nathan Fillion


John Marcone = Nathan Fillion
Donald Morgan = Nathan Fillion
Father Forthill = Nathan Fillion
Cowl = Nathan Fillion
Ride-along Bob = Nathan Fillion

I think we have a winner... Just cast Nathan Fillion as EVERY Male and most the female roles even. Also I have seen that before, I think that's him on the set of the Halo: Landfall commercial. Thats a UNSC Sniper Rifle, but I did not know he was involved in it. I know he did voice acting for the game. Speaking of I wish they would make that damn movie...

[Atanvarno]

Now I'm thinking that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be a great choice for the Inner Bob that we see in his "apartment" in Ghost Story. For some reason, I have Kevin Smith in my head (... I know) when I read Butters' lines. It's too late to change now.

I think David Wenham could make a good Kincaid - if we're not going with the All-Nathan Revue version, that is.

[Kilroy]

OMG... I thought I was the only one who saw Kevin Smith as Butters. Joseph Levitt kinda freaks me out. David Wenham would be good for something but I dont know about Kincaid. The all Nathan thing would be sweet and really good for the budget, better effects. But I dont think a Studio will go for it.

I would like to fit Sean Bean into the movie but if we follow the patter he has to play a role where he dies in the movie. Maybe the Loup Garou?

[NeuroHeart]

Really, guys? I might be remembering wrong, but isn't Butters described as, well, skinny? I adore Kevin Smith and everything, but the man has never been skinny.
Sean Bean could be Harley MacFinn, yeah. And why does Joe Gordon-Levitt freak you out? He's amazing.
