Who mentioned Butler he can be kincaid

Ooh, I mentioned him and you're right, he would make a great Kincaid. I could totally picture him as the tough mercenary and I think he could very believably play up the soft spot for Ivy as well. However, I think we'd have to make an exception about the hair if he were going to play the role. I think the long hair would look forced on him and that would really spoil the tough assassin image.

I'm almost positive that she doesn't know who Gerard Butler is..... we're pretty elderly, and she doesn't really keep up with pop culture stuff.  She does love Scottish accents, though.  She's seen Braveheart at least 6 times, and I doubt it was the plot.

She does indeed have good taste.  Straight or not, Michael Praed was so pretty that I would have given him a second look.   :)

Ah - just be greatful she doesn't know him, lol. ;) And I adore Braveheart myself! (And like her, its not just for the plot.)  ::)

At least she has good tastes. And she picked you so you can look at her interest in cool Hollywood guys as a complement if you want. (That's what I'm hoping my husband will do, lol.) ;)

Then again, she'd leave me sooner for Antonio Banderas, or Michael Praed (during his Robin Hood days.)

Lol! Must say, she has exceptional taste. How about Gerard Butler? The other day my dad mentioned his accent for some role and my mom and I both uttered a unison and dreamy "Yeah...". He said he wasn't sure he liked how we said that - I guess he's got the same thing on the mind as you, Bujin. ;)

That movie was kinda terrible I thought the plot was strung out and the villians were easily beat

You'll notice I called it a guilty pleasure. Not great by any strech but a fun action movie and totally enjoyable. And the fact that the scenery was so nice the whole way through didn't hurt for the female action movie fans such as myself. ;)

My wife would leave me for Matt Bomer in a heartbeat.

Lol! Well, he is sort of hard to compete with...  :-\

...He'll forever be Homer Hickam to me (from October Sky).
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing-- he was cute as a geek-- but I wouldn't tackle him on the street.


Well, my first exposure was to the chisled body and amazing smile of Prince Dustan so I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from. ;)

I'm not sure that there's one actor that could make all the straight women who see the movie want him.  People have too many (contradictory) preferences for that!

Okay, maybe not every female audience member but still most should. Plus, as a woman, the fact that NPH is gay in real life really spoils any potential attraction even if he was smoking hot (which he's not.) The actor for Thomas should make the majority of the women instant fans and totally lust after that actor for ever and in every role he plays from then on out. Before you say that no actor is capable of that, let me just say Jake Gyllenhaal succeeded in doing that, even while playing in the rather mediocre summer movie (based on a video game no less) "Prince Of Persia" that became a guilty pleasure for a lot of women. So it is possible - we just have to find the ideal and sexy match to play the ideal and sexy Thomas.

They will pay people to be magnetized to him. Besides I only see there being 5 or 6 movies for the first 12 books

They can with the people in the movie but that won't make me want him. And if all of the straight females in the audience don't want him then the casting just isn't right. And, even if there aren't that many movies, I still couldn't take poor casting. (Hey, I got bitter over the poor casting in Eragon and I didn't even read the books.) ;)

You have to sacrifice some thing to get others I know this is "Perfect Casting" but you will never get that perfect person you will have to settle. The thing that is great about NPH is that he can be sweet but he can be devious and put on a brave face. Talk about flexability

Eh. I realize that finding the Thomas I visualize is going to be impossible but I still can't accept NPH. Given who Thomas is, the actor we choose should make me have to struggle really hard not to lust and NPH doesn't do that. Matt Bomer does that...but he doesn't look exactly like Thomas looks in my head. I can make the sacrifce for exact appearance easier, though, than I can accept someone who lacks that innate sexual magnetism that is so essential.

Why?

Are you kidding? He's hilarious as I'll get out but he's endearing at best, never truly charming. And not horrible looking (no pun intended) but way not angelic/Greek godlike. No one would ever describe him as a "predatory angel," as I believe Harry has in some book or other. So sorry, but no way.

Harry SUAVE!!!!  Not hardly.  Snicker, tee hee.  Just check out "Day Off".  ROTFLMAO 

Yeah, wasnt exactly Harry's best day. (Which days are, anyway?) ;)

As for Tom Cruise - when a major studio lets an actor go publicly - even if they've made relatively good money for them then there is something seriously wrong somewhere. 

Agreed! Like I said, I loved "Knight & Day" but I really don't think much of him personally or as an actor.

We did. Apparently GW needs a refresher every now and then.

NO TOM CRUISE. NO TOM CRUISE. NO TOM CRUISE.

Just repeat this to yourself every time you're about to make this suggestion, GW. We let him near this movie, he's gonna take over it and start making "suggestions". Harry Dresden the Wizard will end up turning into a magical version of Ethan whatshisface from Mission Impossible.

LOL! That does tend to be what happens when he gets a role. Or maybe he only accepts roles like that. Or maybe they only offer him roles like that. Regarless, we don't want to risk that happening to Harry. Harry is a lot of things but suave superspy he is not. ;)

I thought they didn't want him for harry but he would make a awesome Nic

Nah. He was great in "Top Gun" and "Knight & Day" but I don't think he is a good actor in general - those were just good fits for him. I don't want him to play such an important role in Dresden since I don't really think he's got the acting chops.

Straham would be perfect for kincaid

How about Tom cruise for Nicademous

I thought we established that Tom Cruise can't touch this movie?  ;)

"Predatory angel." Yep, Snowleopard - gotta love that description. ;)

But Thomas isn't really on the prowl all  the time though

True, he isn't always but he is often enough that the actor has to be able to pull that part of him off brilliantly. Ryan Reynolds is sexy - but for none of the same reasons and in none of the same ways that Thomas is.
