Which actor to play Druss? - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

YuYus dumber Brother · 4th December 2007, 03:46 PM

James Cosmo
He recently played in the dark is rising. Cannot picture sam elliot as he is a bit on the small side for me.

Sam Elliot, although a good actor comes across as too tall and wiry.

Imagine both James Cosmo and Sam Elliot standing next to each other.

Imagine each with a black beard, a black helm with a skull on it and a black jerkin with black leather troos to match. Imagine the deadly Snaga in the hands of each of them.

Which one would you vote for?

James Cosmo has my vote, hands down.

O.K> just spent an hour and a half cringing through THE LAST LEGION film, and must say that if anybody can manage to stomach the film you will see that JAMES COSMO would with out question be the man to play DRUSS in a film of LEGEND.

visit this link and look at the picture on the bottom right hand side.

I feel your pain man, how could you allow yourself to be put through so much torment??

I havent seen the film but everyone I know who has gone to see it has slated it outright.

Connavar · 12th December 2007, 12:08 PM

He does look Druss body wise.

Could he act though?

gorben · 6th February 2008, 05:31 AM

How about Brian Blessed as Druss - He certainly has the build, the age on his side and can certainly do the accent?

Jimcalagon · 8th February 2008, 03:28 PM

I have to agree with the people who have said James Cosmo - he is also my first choice of actor for Thorin Oakenshield in the upcoming The Hobbit

Narkalui · 12th February 2008, 12:32 PM

James Cosmo would be perfect for Old Druss - he Brendan Gleeson's Dad in Braveheart and one the McLeod Clansmenin Highlander wasn't he?

YuYus dumber Brother · 12th February 2008, 12:40 PM

Yup Narkalui that's the oak. Big but not overly tall as Druss was not a gaint as such. Klay was given 6.5 or 7 ft and he looked down at Druss.

Narkalui · 12th February 2008, 06:55 PM

Yeah Cosmo would be perfect, probably even better than my other choice of Brian Cox...

I'll probably get killed for suggesting this....Arnold Shwarzenegger.

Here me out now...I was watching a rerun of The Running Man the other day and Arnie has a beard in the early part of the movie. Dye his hair black or grey/black and he could be a very decent Druss....the accent might be a giveaway (maybe we could get him a vocal coach...he is an actor (apparently) after all!).

bedderbay · 2nd March 2008, 11:55 PM

Brian Blessed!! lol - he is cool....I think Gerrard Butler would be awesome, and it's uncanny what they can do with SFX now if they started with Legend.

tyrant Lizard · 3rd March 2008, 05:49 PM

I agree with Schwarzenneger. When I read about Druss's early adventures I picture Arnie in Conan. The only trouble would be with his dodgy accent. If not him, bring back the ghost of Ollie!

Narkalui · 5th March 2008, 12:12 PM

Ollie would have been a good choice as old Druss, but perhaps a little on the short side, but like a said before: stand him on a box...

Schwarzenegger would be awful. Sorry but I heartily disagree...

I always imagined Druss looking like Rock from the old Playstation game Soul Blade.

Danny De vito. Just picture him with an axe.
