If there was a movie? - Page 4 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Huh? LOTR was only 3 books, that's why there are only 3 movies... or are you talking about something else? I am so confused...

I believe LOTR was originally released in six parts or books. They were later compiled (like many things in those days) into the three books we have today.

If only sean connery's voice was more American accented, I'd say him as Belgarath.

VampireEngel · 14th May 2006, 07:45 PM

My opinions of who should be in it
Garion : Craig Parker
Belgarath : Tim Thomerson
Polgara :Cathrine Zeta Jones
Beldin : John Rhys-Davies
Silk : Johnny Depp
Durnik : ...
Ce'Nedra : Alexandra Tydings
Velvet:...
Cyradis:Adrienne Wilkinson
Zandramas:Melinda Clarke
Zakath:Raz Degan (Darius from Alexander)
Salmissra:Salma Hayek
Sadi:Arnold Vosloo

Johnny Depp as Silk? That's good casting...

While these are all good suggestion has anyone given a thought to these:

David Carradine (Kill Bill vol 2) as Belgarath
The Rock (The Scorpion King)as Hettar
Armin Shimmerman (Quark) as Silk
Salma Hayek (Desporado) as Taiba

No, the Professor had intended it to be that way, with the Appendices as an added volume, but they were instead originally published by Allen & Unwin in the form we have today: three volumes, two books each, the third with appendices. There is, however, an edition that was done a few years ago that split it into the seven volumes; I've only seen it a handful of times, though.

Ok, I just read all four pages of the post in rapid prossession by spead reading so forgive for not using the name of each person who first cam up with certain ideas. Please take pity on the new comer.

I agree that Garion and Ce'Nedra as children should probably be unknowns however I love the idea of Heath Ledger as the older Garion.

David Spade for Silk is a no brainer for me.

Love The Rock as Hettar and Robbie Coltraine or John Goodman as Barak.

Errand will again be hard to cast.

I like Micheal Gambion for Belgarath because he is too gruff in Harry Potter but would at just the right level for Belgarath.

I don;t know what I think about the Polgara ideas, they hjust seem wrong to me for some reason but can think of who would work.

All I could think of at the moment but if I come up with more I'll be back

I really hope that there won't be a movie. I still can't forget that total failure of Earthsea (now, this is my opinion, don't get angry). I think that that every movie somehow distorts the plot of a book.
Anyway, I agree that Alan Rickman is able to make it a great Torak

John Goodman will look better as Rodar, don't you think?

The Rock as Hettar - don't make me laugh, please...

They should put Ian McDiarmid somewhere as a bad guy, don't you think? Oh, and Cristopher Lee, of course.

Steffi · 9th September 2006, 12:26 PM

Me and my husband had put Alan Rickman playing Zeder.....don't forget Torak was too Handsome

Don't laugh but we thought Billy Connally would make a good Belgareth because he is after all a rogue

Johnny Depp as silk....good

Ian Mckellern and Christopher Lee would be Aldur & Ul

We're still out on who would play Polgara.....she has to look 25yrs but be very wise

^jordy^ · 9th September 2006, 02:27 PM

Cristopher Lee tends to be a bad guy, don't you think?

gilbo · 13th September 2006, 04:53 PM

personally i would have

garion: hayden christensen
ce'nedra: amy davidson (8 simple rules)
polgara: catherin zeta jones
zakath: christopher eccleston
silk: david tennant
torak: orlando bloom
urgit: johny depp
velvet: sarah michelle gellar
vella: angelia jolie

Riven · 16th September 2006, 07:37 AM

I think making the Belgariad into movies would stupid

Unless

The Director was as serious as Peter Jackson was about making the LOTRs trilogy and was able to actors (high name and no name actors) that are both suited to the role and serious about portraying the characters right.

I see a lot people sugesting actors like Tom Cruise, and Mel Gibson and all I can say is thank god you wouldn't be the ones casting the movie.

fiveten · 17th September 2006, 05:05 PM

I've always pictured Durnik being someone like Al Borlyn (don't recall the name of the actor) from Home Improvement.
