Isn't Dresden supposed to be very tall, with an angular face?  . . .  And no buzz cut hair, or whatever the current style is.
Yeah, you know you just described Nathan Fillion after dismissing him out of hand, right?

Not sure who the two Brits are
I'm... very sad for you.

I don't know if anyone remembers the "BBC casting" discussion we were having here some time ago, but I just saw this:



...and my thought was pretty much "Harry and Murphy."

Out of the options posted only Zachary Quinto has the right facial features of angles and planes.  8)
I'm somewhat in the Fillion camp, but I will say right off that it's not about his features at all. Though I still think his features could work for Harry, it's about other things, like his half-smirk. Every time I read something about Harry snorting and delivering a smart-ass line to a bad guy, I imagine that smirk, and the tone of voice that goes with it. Other little things to do with tone or delivery, too. Like for example, when Harry wakes up from being knocked out and says, "The kid knows what she's talking about. ... What are we talking about?" I hear Nathan Fillion, in the same tone as his "What happened about me?" line from Firefly. When Harry gets really brutal, efficient, and dangerous, I see the look on Fillion/Mal's face when he put a bullet in someone who was threatening a young woman, or slapped a torture device on the guy who had been torturing him. When there are quiet, serious moments in the books, I hear Fillion's quiet and serious voice. So no, I don't think he looks exactly as Harry is described in terms of angular features (for that look, my vision is of David Tennant) but I can still see Fillion as Dresden, because it's his voice and his expression that pops into my head so very often when reading the books.

Wow, that's almost exactly what I see in my head when I think of Hendricks. If his facial hair was less perfectly groomed and more perma-stubble, that'd be perfect!

Can Lara Pulver, Irene Adler, pull off Lara Raith?

What was it that Harry said about Lara doing more for him just sitting in a chair than Madeline could ever hope to do?

I'm a straight woman and I still think that's pretty sexy.

So how can we get the BBC to pick up a show set in America? Might be tricky for them to shoot in Chicago...  :-\


I've wondered before if I'm defective or something, but I am not attracted to Matt Bomer at all. I understand the appeal. I mean, he's clearly an extremely good looking guy, but he just does nothing for me.
Maybe you have really good gay-dar.

Benedict Cumerbatch, though? I swoon and swoon some more.
Me too, sister, me too.

Now Benedict Cumberbatch and Matt Bomer are fighting for Thomas in my head and ...augh I can't decide.
Go listen to this reading of "Ode to a Nightengale" and get back to me on that. ;)

...Maybe we should have a thread for "BBC does Dresden Files" or something.

Like David Tennant. I think David can pull off Harry, honestly.
Agreed!

I still want Benedict Cumberbatch in it because I'm a huge fan.
Well, I submitted him for Thomas...

...I now want to see Benedict Cumberbatch as Harry Dresden.
As Harry? Okay, no, I can't see that one. I think he is amazing in every way, but he is not Harry.

Is that the woman who was on Dexter for a little while? She certainly acted the part of temptress pretty well, so I could see that, too.

This thread moves pretty fast, doesn't it?

Of course, now I'm drifting back to Spencer Locke as Molly.  She's how I've always pictured her.

Punk Molly                              Apprentice Molly                      Mature Molly

I don't think she looks quite edgy enough as "punk Molly." Especially since Molly seems to be really losing it in the recent book. Can this girl do kind of edgy/crazy/desperate? (The image you posted earlier of Taylor Momsen looked very much edgy enough.)

Summer Glau looks amazing with white hair! Where did you find that?

I wouldn't see Christina Hendricks as Lea. For me, she lacks the class, is too vulgar.
"Vulgar"? But she's so lovely  :-\

I would love to see Milla Jovovich cast as someone.  I just can't decide who.  Any ideas?
What about Lara?

Um, thank you for that.
You're very welcome!  ;D
(So glad it's not just me!)

Wow, this is a long thread, lol, if I read all of it I could be here for days. Glad to find it here, though, because I actually registered to ask if anyone had heard of Benedict Cumberbatch and thought he could play Thomas? I just came across this thing on youtube of him reading "Ode to a Nightengale" and... well, listen for yourself, ladies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64eonMsecAA
I just think that voice needs to be Thomas. And he's pretty, too. He has dark hair in Sherlock, if anyone has seen that, and it looks good on him. With those eyes and those cheekbones... Am I wrong, here?
