Perfect Casting, part 2

[MoSeS]

So who would you rather see as Mab.

Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci?

mab = jolie

bellucci = lash

just my two cents.

[Atanvarno]

Mab is a difficult one to cast, to me: Someone who could combine the strange, otherworldly qualities of Tilda Swinton with the ethereal beauty of someone like Diane Krueger would be perfect.

La Bellucci isn't chilly enough for Mab. I could see her as Aurora, maybe.

Lash doesn't need to be mercilessly beautiful. I see her as being a little more approachable. Somewhat like Emily Lloyd, or the way Emily Lloyd used to look, at any rate.

@Jaeh

Ha! that was exactly the opposite of what I had originally. But I guess they are pretty interchangeable.

@Atanvarno
I think Lash is suppose to look breathtaking, at least when she wants to, afterall she can pretty much make herself appear as whatever and she is "The Temptress".

So I picture someone very sensual, but also mature, and smokin' hot, for both characters.

[MoSeS]

and Tilda Swinton as Winter Queen.........*sigh* someone has been watching too much Chronicles of Narnia.

[MoSeS]

I guess Bellucci is going to be a little tainted for the Dresden Cast anyways since she is doing The Sorcerer's Apprentice, on the other hand it may give her even more clout to be in the Dresden Cast.

Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci?

Monica Bellucci hands down.  Angelina is too young (34).  Monica is 45 (5', yet looks ageless.  (I can only wish that I will that lovely when I am 45  )


I have two for Lash...

Anna Torv (32 - 5' - I have always though she was so striking that she could be one of the fallen.


Melanie Laurent - although she is a little young (27) and petite (5'2).  But I think fallen angels could be any age.

MMmm what about Molly Cyrus for Molly?

All I can think of to say is "No."  Then I stop and think again.  Maybe, all I've seen her as is Hannah "OhmygawdImgonnahurlgetmeoutofhere" Montana.

Ha! I've never seen it, believe it or not. I realized as soon as I posted that was the first thing that anyone else would think.

I keep trying to think of the description of Lash from White Night. Something about how she's described there - simple dress, light brown hair - strikes me as being far less overtly glamorous than Lara or the Queens or Ladies of the Sidhe.

Lash should look more girl next door pretty than supermodel pretty? Okay, I buy it.

However I don't know about the two suggestions. I am not familiar with Anna Torv. And I only know Melanie Laurent from Inglorious Bastards, and she didn't really give me the fallen angel/temptress vibe, though she did vengful well.

Anna Torv.  Agent Olivia Dunham from Fringe.  Australian actress.

Or, as I like to call her, Cate Blanchett's kid sister only without the acting chops or personal magnetism.

I dunno. I mean, from Hannah Montana, kid can't act. but.. then again, it might just be because it's a disney thing...

Lash? :
Yvonne strahovski from chuck. *shrug* she's blond, though. but i think she can do brown hair easy.

[jbigelow22]

Yvonne strahovski from chuck.
She'd be a good Murphy (not sure of the height but she's cute enough).
