Does it Matter what color Morgan is?

Yes, but only to the same degree that it matters that Harry should be tall, have brown hair, and be under 30. I'm a stickler for by-the-book casting and making Morgan black wouldn't work for me just like making Murphy a tall redhead wouldn't work, either.

I always see him as that old guy from Avatar the marine guy

Too much of an over-actor and seems too unintelligent to play Morgan for me.

Oh hell yeah. I also saw commander Lock from Matrix 2 and 3 as Morgan. Harry Lennix.

Cool looking actor but Morgan is not black, although he was portrayed that way in the DF tv show. He's another one that I'd really like to see in a DF movie, though, if not in that role. A Denarian, maybe? He'd make one heck of a badass DF villain.

I just thought he was an insecure 20's year old that tries to compensate by being pompous...

Agreed. And I have an image of somebody in my head for him but I can't put the face with a name. If I think of it I'll let you guys know.  :-\

In terms of looks, Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be a good Michael. However, the only thing I've seen him in is Watchmen, so I don't know how well he'd be able to play Michael. I've heard he's in Supernatural, but I've only seen bits and pieces of that show.

I've never seen Watchmen but he was amazing in Supernatural. His acting range is really good  - as evidenced in Supernatural where he got to play a very complex father character as well as portraying a demon in one or two episodes.) As the Winchesters' father he does both caring father and awesome badass, which to me says he can do Michael.

His appearances were most prevalent in the second half of the first season so if you want to see how you'd like him you only have to watch the first season. (Although after that you just won't want to quit.) ;)

Hm...actually, Jeffrey Dean Morgan could make a great Michael. He's certainly the closest match that I've heard so far. I'd want him to beef up a little to play Michael but I think he could do an excellent job. I love Michael and I'm so pleased to finally have an actor I could approve to play him!!!  ;D

JOHN BARROWMAN FOR THOMAS! WHO'S WITH ME? (Only problem I can see is that he looks a bit too wholesome, but he's a good actor.)

Have you ever seen anyone who looked more like Tom Cruise? Wow. Anyway, I'm not sure he's quite right for the complexity of Thomas - as you said, he looks a little too wholesome, more the hot-headed hero look than the angelic and mysterious bad boy.

Joe Flanigan would be a good match in size/description... but Nathan Fillion has the better drama/comic range.

I vote yes for James Marsters as Bob. 

I would be totally down with the idea of digitally scanning all the actors to capture their facial movements, and then rendering the whole series in 3D animation.  Then age is no longer a problem and you can make the series last as long as their voice can sound the age it should be.

It frees up so many other things too, now you aren't bound by physicality for finding the right actor to look like their characters description and you can prioritize the choices by their acting range and vocal ability for the part.

Hurray!!! Another vote for Marsters as Bob!  ;D

I like the idea of doing it all in digital because of the freedom it provides but I'm not so sure the technology is there yet. I mean, they've done movies like that - looking so much better than I would have thought possible - but it still gets rubbery in spots. So I'm not sure I'm ready for DF to be that way - at least not just yet.

Could always do a digital x-ray scan of Marsters head (or Jim's for that matter!) just like they did for Nic Cage in Ghost Rider. It's his skull. So yeah.

Hey, good point! And Marsters has very distinct cheekbones so it would be kind of cool for everybody watching to know that it was really him.

And going a little off topic here, that reminds me of something I've always thought should happen in DF: Harry makes an escape from somewhere and grabs Bob on the way out, only to realize he got the wrong skull. Later, Bob is insulted because Harry couldn't tell him apart from "all those ugly skulls out there."  ;D

Yeah, I'm afraid so. Btw, I love the idea of Bill Nighty as Langtry. Ever since the "Underworld" movies I've really fallen for his performance of bad guys - very cool. (And I guess I just let my anti-Langtry bias slip a little, huh?) ;)

I'll say again: James Marsters for Bob!!! Just think of all of his cheeky lines as Spike and you know he could pull off Bob. And he can do an English or American accent, whichever you'd prefer.  ;D My only regret is that Bob is represented as a skull so James Marsters' gorgeous looks wouldn't make it into the movie. Still, his voice is pretty darn sexy so I guess I'll survive.

I'm pretty sure Marcone isn't a blonde girl ;D

so he made 1 good movie  ;D

I'm afraid I agree that of those three, Prestige was the only winner. Batman, in my humble opinion, was terrible, with flat characters and no good sense of rise and fall. In addition to that fact that I strongly dislike the wooden acting of Christian Bale. (I know, he managed to skate by in the Prestige but only because of the type of character he played - and don't even get me started on his terrible representation of my beloved John Connor.) *pound fist angily into wall* Okay, I'm better now.

Julianne Moore.

Yeah, I really like her for Lea. She's so got the part for me.

And fantazero, I love that guy for Marcone! If he can act I really think he could pull it off beautifully. :)

Maybe Christopher Lloyd could play Cassius (snake Denarian) or even the Merlin.

Nah, Cassius isn't that old and Lloyd always looks to suprised to play the scheming Langtry. And don't worry, I'm not just basing that on his adorable performance in Back To The Future. Still, there's got to a role for him somewhere.

Don't do it.  I can't sit through his films.

My mom didn't used to like his movie but she loved Inception. He's really matured as an actor and the movie isn't pushing him as God's gift to women or anything. He's just a great character in an awesome movie. I sincerely hope you give Inception a fair chance - and soon! I really think you'll love it. My mom, dad, sister, brother, and grandmother all loved it as well and for my brother and my grandmother to adore the same movie says it must be phenomenal and have a very broad appeal.  ;)

I think it is important to rememb er that Ancient Mai is Ancient even by wizard standards.  I definitely don't think there should be any girlish or young womanly features.  She should be imposing, regal, even elegant in her dress sure.  But I think she should look like someone's tough ass great grandma who seems to power on by sheer force of will.

I agree - like I said, I'm not lobbying for some hot young thing...or even some hot middleaged thing. I just think that the woman in PotC can't have been pretty when she was young, which is not the idea you should get from Mai. As you said, she should be "regal" and "elegant" and the PotC actress looks way to weathered, not somebody who's spent most of thier life indoors, as I believe Mai has.

Hm, Clancy Brown as Morgan - that could work. And not just because its JB. ;)

Give Leonardo DeCaprio another 10 years and then heck yeah! (And I'm just as shocked as you GW that I'm actually agreeing, lol.)  ;D

Can play righteous, fatherly and badass.

Lol! Yep, that's Micahel for you. Exactly the reasons I love him so much. (Plus the buff part - you know, if we're really being honest about this.) ;)

I recent found the actress to play Murph her name is Megan Dodds.

We have officially found Murphy!!! Bless you, bellmaker!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Oh, and I might have said this before, but just in case...Here's Lea.

Now what actress is that again? I'd have to know that to evaluate her acting potential but looks-wise that is so Lea.

And now let me appologize for this insanely long post...I've been buried in homework all week so you'll have to cut me a break. ;)

My suggestions for casting.  Sorry if I repeat some, 207 pages is abit much to read through.

Thomas: WWE wrestler John Morrison.
Ebenezer:  Wilford Brimly or Ed Asner.
Butters:  the guy who played the assistant coach on Evening Shade.
Injun Joe:  the old indian from Outlaw Josie Wales (yes, I know he's dead)
Ancient Mai: the old chinese pirate from Pirates of the Carribean; Land's End.
Langtry (merlin): The guy who played Saruman(sp?) in the Two Towers.
Morgan: Liev Schrieber (sp?)
Micheal: the guy who played Boromir in Lord of the Rings.
Sanya: Alonso Bodin (from last comic standing)

Sorry for not knowing all their names.

Lol - wouldn't that be "World's End?" ;)

I picture her as much better looking than that - not hot or anything but like an elegant and poised young woman whose time has passed.

I like the idea of Christopher Lee (aka Saruman) playing Langtry. Largely because Lee does an excellent bad guy and I have my own opinions/suspicious about ol' Langtry and where his loyalties lie.

Not Liev Schreiber - seems too unintelligent and thuggy to me. Yeah, I know - Harry likes to villify Morgan. But filtering past Harry's heavy bias, he's definately an intelligent and non-thug kind of guy. I'm kind of thinking Tim Roth could do a good job, although I'm not sure if he's too small and sneaky-seeming to play the generally straightforward Morgan.

Not Sean Bean (aka Boromir) for Michael I'm afraid. I'm a huge Michael fan and I really don't get the right vibe from him, although I'd like to see him play someone else - maybe even Kincaid.

Glau's face looks like it's been botoxed - maybe Maeve but not Lucio.

Agreed. And if she can act, she really might make a good Maeve.

I'm a big fan of Chris Pine, myself, so you won't here any complaints from me, either.  ;D
