Perfect Casting, part 2

Newman!

IMDB has Yvonne @ 5' 9¼"

Too tall for Murphy.

I think she has the right subtle beauty that everyone was looking for in Lash. I don't watch Chuck though so I don't know if she has the attitude for Lash. I am not saying she couldn't do it.

I can think of a few that could play Lash, but I don't really have a solid picture of her formed in my mind already.

Kristen Bell
Jessica Biel
Famke Janssen
Cate Blanchett
Kate Mara
Kirsten Dunst
Milla Jovavich
Naomi Watts
Kate Beckinsale

*this is really just a list of actresses that I like 
**I think you can tell I like movies more than TV shows

[Atanvarno]

I could buy Kate Mara as Lash. Even better, Naomi Watts as Lash, and Kate Mara (with brown hair) as Shiela.

Famke might make a good Gard, if she went blond.

Milla Jovovich cannot act. At all.

don't really like Kirsten Dunst and Milla Jovovich.

Yvonne ftw. xD

[MoSeS]

No one seems to like Milla Jovavich. I guess she isn't the greatest actress, but Fifth Element is probably my favorite movie ever, and it was the first time I saw her, so kind of left an impression. However when I think of the Resident Evil movies....yeah, she really can't act that well.

Kirsten Dunst, same here, I first saw her in Interview with the Vampire, left an impression. However in the Spider-Man movies she really falls short when it comes to acting.

[MoSeS]

I could buy Kate Mara as Lash. Even better, Naomi Watts as Lash, and Kate Mara (with brown hair) as Shiela.

Famke might make a good Gard, if she went blond.

I kind of had Kate Mara pegged as Justine.

Shiela? Lash when she is working in the book store?

I thought Cate Blanchett would make a good Gard, but Famke would work too.

[Sihnon]

Famke Janssen to me will always be Lara Raith. 
"Lara does more for me sitting in a chair..." ~ Harry Dredsen to Madeline Raith at Zero.


As for Gard, it would be really nice if they actually got a Scandinavian actress to play her.  

Sofia Ledarp could always dye her hair. (She is in the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo")


Malin Åkerman (31, 5' (She was in "The Watchman")

[tiny[but]fierce]

@Sihnon

Famke Janssen as Lara, and Malin Åkerman as Gard FTW. Love it.

[MoSeS]

Famke as Lara, I don't know why I didn't put this together myself, it's brilliant!

Sofia Ledarp, I like her, but can she speak english? I saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, good movie, all subbed though, don't know if this actress even speaks english.

Malin Åkerman did well in Watchmen, but I have also seen some of the Romantic Comedies (Heartbreak Kid, Couples Retreat) she has been in so I don't know if I could take her serious as Gard.

A lot of people mentioned Tilda Swinton earlier in this thread, I think she is sort of how I picture Gard.

However I agree it would be awesomer if they had an actual Scandinavian actress.

[Atanvarno]

I kind of had Kate Mara pegged as Justine.

Oooh, yeah! Bingo.

who is Shiela? Lash when she is working in the book store?

Yup. I wouldn't necessarily want them played by the same actress, is what I'm saying.

I somehow think Famke is probably a little too tall for Lara, but otherwise, she's a great suggestion. I have an idea in my head for Luccio (v. 2.0), but I can't put a name to the face.

Malin Åkerman is fine for Gard, being both Swedish-born and Canadian. Yes, we're just that awesome. Or, in some cases, åsome.

[MoSeS]

While we are on the topic of Scandinavian actors, who should play Donar Vadderung?

Can't be Alexander Skarsgård, he is already Kincaid.

[MoSeS]

I somehow Famke is probably a little too tall for Lara, but otherwise, she's a great suggestion.

Famke is 6' even according to IMDB, I think that would be ok for Lara.

It's not a big deal, but I think of Lara as being not very tall, but very curvy. Famke could certainly give her the requisite mesmerizing quality.

Luccio 2.0

hum? tough one

I picture a petite attractive brunette that can be wicked as Corpsetaker, and then also play Luccio who is the captain of the wardens, and also sometimes her italian accent comes out even as Luccio 2.0

Taking this back a few posts, it's worth noting that Strahovski is naturally a brunette. She's a bottle blonde.  So are 9/10ths of the blondes you see wandering around.  Blonde hair is a recessive trait.   Sarah Michelle Gellar?  Brunette.  So's Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, etc., etc., etc.  The only point to this is that you shouldn't let hair color determine whether or not someone could play a role to perfection.  Anyone can have ANY color hair you want.  Dye jobs are wonderful things.

By the way, IMO most blondes would look far sexier as brunettes.  Tea Leoni should be forcibly restrained until her hair goes back to the shade it was in Bad Boys.
