Perfect Casting, part 2

[bellmaker]

For year that Dune was made the effects were not bad.  they also put good if not well know actors in smaller roles i.e. The Duke and Reverend Mother besides as long as sting is not in it the movie will do well.

Not gonna happen if the movie goes because anybody doing major funding will want performers with a proven
track record.  Sorry. 
Umm, unknown for Harry - most likely not gonna happen.  The movie will rest on his shoulders and unknown status
will make investors nervous - also probably make insurance harder to get.
Witness DUNE.  Though he can act now - Kyle McGlaughlin was not experienced enough at that time to really
do justice to Paul's character.  Movie suffered because of it.  Special effects were cheesey too.   

Hollywood has been using unknowns in a few great movies these last few years. The old blood are doing that, getting old. If this movie were to get made I think having unknowns in it will boost it. Thats why you get known people in support rolls, thats how you make people famous.

Not necessarily true. Often times studios and filmmakers will prefer working with a talented unknown because....
1. They can pay them less.
2. They are often easier to work with and easier to schedule.
3. Less established actors are less likely to turn down a role.
4. It's the casting director's (and to a somewhat lesser extent, the director's) job to convince any producers or executives that the person they want is right for the role.

I agree that I would love to see Bruce in a more substantial role.  However, after seeing Army of Darkness and Burn Notice, I have a hard time seeing Bruce as the pious type.

And you could always open with flashbacks, and space them throughout.  Like...everytime Harry gets knocked out or falls asleep.

problem with most books to movies... they cut important things and add stuff not in the books, lets not add flashbacks that never happened.

What about Emily Rose as Murphy?  She currently plays Audrey Parker on Haven.

Speaking of Burn Notice I think we have to find a roll for Bruce Campbell. Father Forthill? Last mention of him was Anthony Stewart Head or Mark Sheppard. Now Anthony... if you have seen 'Repo! The Genetic Opera' how could you not see him as Nic? Oooo just had an idea for Sheppard, Binder.. ooo he would be perfect for that snarky roll. *basing this on attitude, dont have my book to double check his appearance.*

Bruce Campbell shoul be the voice of Bob if anything. Seriously, just open one of the books to some of bob's dialog and insert campbell's voice in your head. It works.

Have you ever listened to the audiobooks? James Marsters HAS to be bob. Plus with him as Bob it leaves plenty of room to give him cameos.

BZZT! Ooh, I'm sorry, you both had the wrong answer. But thank you for playing, and we have some lovely parting gifts for you!

Bob's voice = Jim. This is a Truth.

[Annie Wilkes]

I'm gonna suggest a "don juan de marco" or "Cry Baby" era Johnny Depp for thomas.

[Griffyn612]

Well, I always figured Wilford Brimley for Eb McCoy, but after I saw the ESPN commercial, "The Cowboy", I've now got a new favorite for McCoy.

If Jim wants to be bob sure I have not problem with it, but the voice of Bob will always be James Marsters for most of the audiobook listeners as well as myself.

Paul Blackthorne!

[Kilroy]

He might have been a GREAT Dresden, but really after the Syfy channel fail I just have trouble seeing him as it. I just have nightmares of Dresden running around with a drumstick trying to get in a rock band that does not use electronic equipment or Playing hockey and melting the ring while yelling "ITS NOT MY FAULT"
