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.  ;)

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.

Since Cowl's voice is distorted by magic and stuff, it would be possible to cast someone as his voice, and have someone else do the actual movement and stuff. I nominate Mark Hamil for that, since his voice for The Watcher in Darksiders is nice and raspy. If we need someone to be in the costume and do the talking, I pick Peter Stormare. Watch the scene from Constantine with him as Lucifer for reference.

And honestly, while Tim Curry is good at playing villains, I can't see him as Nicodemus. Not enough opportunity to Ham it up. And it's a crime if you have Tim Curry and don't let him ham it up.

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

I agree, he is quite the large ham.

My Cast list-

Harry Dresden- Timothy Olyphant
Karrin Murphy- Allison Mack
Thomas Raith- Josh Duhamel
Bob- Eddie Izzard
Molly Carpenter- Amber Heard
Michael Carpenter- Jeremy Irons
Charity Carpenter- Ali Larter
Sanya- Aldis Hodge
Marcone- Neal Mcdonough
Susan- Eva Mendes
Mac- Neil Flynn
Mab- Sharon Stone (think basic instinct 2?)
Lea- Elena Satine
Morgan- Rutger Hauer
Lasciel- Olivia Wilde
Ebenezar McCoy- Billy Connolly
Lara Raith- Angelina Jolie
Butters- David Krumholtz
Merlin- Christopher Lee

Olyphant and Duhamel could be brothers, Amber Heard is just WOW, but the Sidhe are tough to peg, especially the winter court. All those who have been suggested are either too old or too warm. Mab needs to be cold and statuesque. And I always imagined Lea as beautiful, yet slightly unstable looking.

I think that picture (barring the sweater, of course) sums up Lea perfectly.

I'll buy Amber Heard for Molly.
But not Jeremy Irons for Michael.  Does not have the face or the build for Michael.
And while I like Josh Duhamel - he's too ruggedly handsome for Thomas. 
And no Angelina Jolie for Lara.  Not quite right.

Michael's tough. Nathan Fillion is too snarky for michael, and there are VERY few actors who are paragons of hope, virtue, AND badassery. And personally, I think Lara is all a matter of personal taste.

That, and Josh Duhamel simply because of how similar he looks to Timothy Olyphant, and acting ability.
