I'm actually a huge fan of Aaron Ekhart but I don't think he comes across with that totally trustworthy strength that Michael has. And as for Emma Stone, to me she seems too cheap to be Molly. (I know - Molly is kind of complicated but she still isn't what I would call cheap.)

Have you watched The Dark Knight? Eckhart's portrayal of Harvey Dent before the scarring is what makes me think of Michael.
My conspiracy theories:
1. The Black Council is Real.
2. Arthur Langtry is an amoral, power-hungry politician.
3. Cowl & Kumori haven't been introduced without their hoods yet.

Hm. Haven't seen it but I've seen him in three of his other roles (the most heroic being his role in the excellent movie "Never Was") and I just don't think he exudes "Michaelness."

Which is why I'm all about Paul Gross for Michael. Constable Benton Fraser, the Fist of God? Dead on target.

Closer to what Michael should be but still not quite. He looks a little too "executive-y" to me, not as genuine and down-to-earth as Michael.

BANG!

THAT's for suggesting that John Travolta get anywhere NEAR this movie!
The moribund equine has been more than sufficiently flagellated.

Not right for Michael. He doesn't have the right "aura" for me, in addition to the fact that he's not in nearly good enough shape to play Michael (who Harry thinks of alongside Thomas in the "makes me want to go to the gym" catagory.) Plus, my mental image of Michael is very different and his smile just isn't Michael-ish to me either.

The strong jaw is indeed an important feature of Michael's and to me a dealbreaker for anyone who doesn't have it.

Really? Huh? "Executive" is one of the last descriptions I could imagine for his Fraser character. He's visibly upright, honest, open, strong and outright good. I can't NOT see him as Michael.
