*falls over* LOL!

Jim Butcher is my god, just so you know. Not God, but god. Please don't smite me, Lord. I need to stay alive to read Ghost Story. And Book 14. And books 15 through the apocalypse.

And every other book he writes in between.

Have you never seen Silence of the Lambs?

Nope, Looking him up on IMDB, I've seen Mission Impossible II (which his must have had a very minimal role in, since it says that he was uncredited), The Mask of Zorro, damn... that explains why Zorro was the only movie that I could think of, it's really the only one I've seen... I was sure I'd seen more, pretty sure I own Fracture, though, but I've never watched it.

I don't recall seeing any warrior-ish description of Langtry in the books. He just looked like the wizard's wizard, IIRC.

Not in his physical appearance, or during any of his screen time, but you don't throw up wards to fend off vampires and Outsiders on the fly while retreating though the Nevernever without some pretty good skill in combat magic.

Not sure where this falls in the conversation, but when I close my eyes, I see Kurt Russell as Michael, Will Smith as Sanya, and Pat Morita as Shiro.

I think that Pat Morita as Shiro was discussed before with general approval, but his being dead was a bit of a problem.
Will Smith as Sanya... I don't know, I really don't think I could take him seriously with a Russian accent. Although I do recall Jim saying (presumably jokingly) that he though Will could pull off Harry personality well, but that he'd need to lose a fair bit of muscle.

Who should play Nicodemus?

The problem with Nicodemus is that it has to be someone who can do creepy really well and, in my opinion no one can do creepy as well as Alan Rickman. But I read Nick's scenes with Alan's voice, and it just doesn't work. I just don't see Alan working for any of Nick except the creepiness.

weeeeelll beanpole. harry's a beanpole, he's a beanpole..., it fits.

face isn't harry tho

Hmm, give him longer hair and don't let him shave for a few days... might work, but I'd agree with you.

And I don't think as Michael, either... I need to look at my male cast listing again.

Pretty sure we don't need to worry about him since we've never met him, so unless his ghost shows up, we no nothing about him other than that he was Russian (was he? I think that was confirmed, maybe it's just an assumpution based on his name.), was on good terms witht he Red Court and is now dead.

Mavra = Helena Bonham Carter

Definitely. I love Helena Bonham Carter and it would be great to have her in Dresden Files movies. Mavra would certainly be the best for her, but she could probably do Mab pretty well too.

I agree too!  I think Orlando always plays another version of 'Legolas' in every film he does. 

I wish. In my opinion, that was pretty much his only good role and I'm pretty sure that part of that is because more of Legolas's best parts were done by a stunt double.

With Johnny Marcone, we know he is in his forties.... good looking, but tough, average height (5'10-6')
 
Now, I would say George Clooney, but he is also too short.  And like Chris Noth, both may be too old for the role.  Although, Chris Noth is usually who I think of when I think of Johnny Marcone. 

Now that I look at that picture of George Clooney, I can definitely see Marone. However, while Clooney may be able to pull off the look, I'm not sure about the personality. I think of other roles I've seen him in and I think Marcone is a bit too serious a character for him.

You can have Shania and Celine back
No really.
You totally can.

Yes, but that's assuming we actually want them back, I think soem of us (myself not included) would like Shania back, but the general concensus of Canadians on Celine is that you can keep her.

But can we please borrow Jim for a bit, we promise we'll give him back.
