Michael Phelps as Harry.
I laugh, but from a purely physical stance it might actually work...  :o

At 6'4" he's tall enough, beanpole lanky and angular and not really what anyone would call classically handsome.  Can he act, I wonder...?

I was watching a The Cure concert from 2016 this weekend and Robert Smith looked perfect for the Mother Winter role. :). Sorry, Robert, I love your old music, but you're perfect for the role.

What about David Walton for Harry?  He's got good height at 6'4".

I thinks Ive settled on Michael Fassbender as older Harry (with Matt Bomer as Thomas) and Eric Balfour for a more SF age Harry with Reeve Carney playing Thomas.  Reeve was Dorian Grey on Penny Dreadful if you've seen it, and I think he'd fit the various tones of Thomas nicely as looking like he might be the much prettier brother of Balfour.

Oh dear - this has been a topic my wife and I have discussed endlessly.  We've never hit on anyone we consider fully satisfactory for Harry himself.  I guess my "favorite" castings are:

Katee Sackhoff - Murphy
Isaak Sirko - Marcone
Liam Neeson - Michael (I literally hear his voice when reading Michael lines)

When I read some of the descriptions of Lara in action, I find myself imagining Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft mode; there's more similarity there than just the name.

The wife and I have discussed many, many castings for various characters, but those three I itemized above are the ones that really resonate for me.  Most of the others I'm able to envision numerous performers taking on.

Speaking of this general topic, I read not long ago that all the big movie studios are hungry for "franchises" - it's the new big thing.  Well, what the heck?  Here's the perfect franchise, all laid out and ready to go, right under their noses.  Come on, Hollywood!

Sackhoff has a good 6" on Murphy.

Jaime Camil as the male Eeb.

Ah, yeah - Aly Michalka works as Molly for sure.  I've just felt, though, that there are probably lots of gals that would work as Molly.  Only a few of the characters seem to have "obvious" castings to me.  Jared Padalecki as Harry had crossed my mind before - it could work, though I also have him firmly in the Sam Winchester box.  But he's a great actor as far as I can tell - even within the Supernatural context he's played variety because of the things that have gone on with his character, and he smashed 'em out of the park.  I've also considered Jim Caviezel for Harry.  Not quite tall enough, but taller than average at least.

For me Liam Neeson is Michael - case closed.  I can't read Michael parts without picturing him or someone thoroughly similar to him.  And yeah, Daniel Craig fits Nicodemus quite well for me.

Who's down for Charlize Theron as Mab?  And how about Michael Emerson as Butters?

Cheers,
Kip

Just tossing this out there, but I think I could get behind marilyn manson's dad for Nicodemus :-P 

There's something about that guy...
