Nah. While he'd make a great Marcone, Dalton would make a far better Nicodemus. Anyone who has seen The End Of Time (both parts) will know what I'm talking about.

Also, just in case the Winter King (Santa Claus) ever shows up...

Has anyone seen the Priest trailer?

Karl Urban - black duster and hat (yes, I know Harry doesn't wear a hat). He's 38 years old, 6'1", dark haired, rugged and likes to appear in genre properties...



And that's not photoshopped...

Y'know, having Bones play Harry would bring a whole 'nother level to the character. I'd always hear him saying, "Dammit, Jim..." :D

Karl Urban must be involved.  As Harry, though, I'm a little iffy.

Okay, took me a good 30 seconds to read this correctly.  In those 30 seconds, I was wondering why he was in a movie, holding a kiwi.

After seeing her in an episode of Castle, I realized that the actress who played Bianca on the Dresden Files TV show would be a good choice for Lara Raith.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

An ideal for Lara Raith would be the women who played Atia of the Julia in the HBO series Rome.

LOL!!! Jim does seem to expect alot out of poor Harry, doesn't he?  ;)

I've seen her in the SyFy show "Warehouse 13" and I just can't see it - that botox is too obvious and over-the-top for the primal appeal of Lara Raith. The fact that Harry contrasted her so sharply with the artificially sexy what's-her-face Vixen says that she aught to at least look all natural - even if she is cheating a bit with the supernatual whammy. ;) Meaning not a bunch of obvious botox - and not a glaring boob job or anything of course, either. ;)

Fair enough. I haven't seen Warehouse 13, so I don't know what she's like in that.

To be fair, though, I haven't seen her in her Bianca role so I don't know how she pulls off sexy and if her botox is distracting in it. All the characters in "Warehouse 13" are a bit quirky so I guess you never know. ;)
