Randy Quaid is only any good as a comic relief character...

Does David Eddings do comic characters???

If there was a movie i think they would use some less known actors. That would probably be better too. I can't picture some Sean Conneries and Catherine Zeta Jones's in belgariad.

Polgara - Angelina Jolie

Belgarath - Christopher Lee

Ce'Nedra - Rose McGowan

Garion - Orlando Bloom

Durnik - Matthew Fox

Asharak - Gary Oldman

Them are some interesting suggestions Elyssandrel, very good!

I'd agree with most of the nominations above, though I'd prefer a somewhat older actress as Polgara, maybe in her 30ties. I don't believe Angelina Jolie would be that good a choice. And it depends on which part of the books you'd like to see filmed - in the first books of the belgariad Garion was still a boy, and so Orlando Bloom is erm.. a bit mature for the part

OMG!

Was there gonna be a film?!?
I just found a pic of Patricia Velasquez as Salmissra.

Ok, maybe not.
Someones doing the same as we were.
Damn got my hopes up for a second.

Definitly Emma Watson for Ce'Nedra, maybe Michael Gambon for Belgarath, I don't know about Mel Gibson for Zakath, but definitly get him a part!

Hey, I'm a new person here. I have to say that i agree Elyssandrel and her choice of characters, all except for Christopher Lee as Belgarath. I think that Belgarath acts way to carefree for Christopher Lee. Do you guys think that if they DID make a movie that it would live up to everyone's expectations?

Psychogirl · 14th October 2005, 12:58 PM

Oh, and "Hi" Sendar Farm Boy. I'm new here as well, so we can be new here together! Isn't that great?... Sorry if I scare you. People say i do that alot.

I think any movie would be far too costly, considering all the potential characters involved. Not to mention trying to cram a 6 book epic into (at best) a trilogy.

Actually for Belgarath you could do a lot worse than have someone like Morgan Freeman

Psychogirl · 14th October 2005, 01:31 PM

GAH! That's would be bad... I don't like to think about that sort of stuff... It hurt my brain to think of poor Belgarath being played by someone like Morgan Freeman. Not that I have anything against him, I just... you know what i mean... I hope

Winters_Sorrow · 14th October 2005, 01:41 PM

How about Michael Caine then? He'd make a pretty cool Belgarath - still good with the ladies too, so I hear

Psychogirl · 14th October 2005, 01:46 PM

Hey yeah! He'd make a really good Belgarath! I like your thinking
