Gemmell Movie?

[drosdelnoch]

Yeah, we must have Pete. I love him in films.

what about Kevin Sorbo as Hogun. He may be a little tall, but still... as for Rek.... Still no idea.

As I recall, David recieved a number of offers from production studios regarding the filming of Legend. However, the studio wanted the rights to the characters, so David refused.

Take a look at Brian Thompson from the remake of Jason and the Argonauts

Do a quick image search on google for Brian Thompson hercules and you should get a suitable picture

Druss would have to be the tallest actor in the movie so that you could convey that 'larger than life' filling, regardless of how big people picture him in the books. He's tall there too. But another good movie would be Waylander with what's his face, Aragorn, from LOTR. Viggo Mortenson. A good Jon Shannow might be Russel Crowe.

not so blaine druss is not tall, he not short either i think he would stand about 5'10"ish but be so broad in the shoulder he appears larger than others.

thats how i see him as well maybe a little shorter but broad as possible

'Hero in the shadows' definitely!!! (it's perfectly doable as a stand alone)
waylander-Russel Crowe
kysumu-Donnie yen/jet li
yu yu liang-I wouldn't know
keeva taliana-any suggestions?

[Blaine_Owynspar]

jackie chan would be a good yu yu but jet li has played comedic parts before too. he could do either one. assuming he would do another action movie.

my opinion on him is a little biased because i've met him and he was a first class wanker. i'd hate to have him anywhere near our theoretical Legend movie!

how old do you guys reckon Rek and Virae were?

[Jack]

Colin Farrell may be good as Rek - Druss, was he not quite old at this point? Someone not so young but still well built then.

[Kaylo Mizuri]

White Wolf would be a cool movie with Christian Bale as Skilgannon. But then you have the Druss problem again. lol what about Matthew Mconaghey he was big in reign of fire lol.

I agree with other members on most points,most book to movie conversions don't stay faithful to the books,(even the leviathan-lord of the rings,slipped a bit),i also think that LOTR,has filled most studios ration of sword and scorcery movies,and finally,while there have been some excellent ideas for actors to play some of the great gemell characters,there is not one single actor who could play the immortal druss,several squished into one maybe,i speak of sean connery with a bit of brian blessed for the voice,as for face,again brian blessed has a great face for the captain of the axe,but body?no one has the mature age and the matching body to do justice to the big man.I couldn't bare to see less than perfect rendition to this giant among fantasy characters,i mean has anyone read Battlefield Earth,then watched the film,criminal to say the least.I think unless a fitting screenplay,remaining loyal to DG,with the right actors for the parts is made,nothing less is acceptable,and they should be left as books.Only then would we have a fitting tribute to the great writer we all obviously worship.

[MARKLS21]

Just a quick note,many people seem stuck as to an actor to play 'Bowman',has anyone considered Cary Elwes as seen in 'The Princess Bride',he seems to fit the bill for me,what do you others think?.

[MARKLS21]

Hello again,i've found druss!!.For anyone with sky tv,watch a programme called 'American Chopper',on Discovery channel,the father,Paul Teutul sr.He is the right height,build,age,he even has a fairly deep voice,the only problem is his New York accent,and the fact he's not actually an actor,just a real guy in a fly-on-the-wall series,but i'm sure that could be fixed,look at all the stars which came from non-acting backgrounds,Arnold,the rock,Hulk Hogan,Steven Segal,and loads more.This guy could pull it off with the right support,probably never happen,but if they're ever casting,he's the man for the part.
