Gemmell Movie?

Hope you are all doing well- Heres my question! If the Gods smiled down on us and sent us a film adaptation of a DG novel which book would you pick and who would you cast in the main roles?
I would say Moring Star cause its awsome, I would cast Toby Maguire as Owen, Arnold Schwartzanager (sp?) as Piercollo, phillip seymore hoffman as Wulf and, Collin Ferrel as Jarek Mace.

Re: Gemmell Movie?

i think i would choose Winter warriors, as it doesn't contain the big characters like druss and waylander that are in many books, i dont think anyone could pull off Druss well, I don't know about all the characters and who would play who though. Maybe Jeremy Irons as Kebra?

Re: Gemmell Movie?

I think Gemmell's books will come over better in movie than trying to read them

You'd lose a lot in the films I think.

Re: Gemmell Movie?

I would love 2 c legend done as a film i think it would be brilliant and not just because of the huge battle scenes but also for the smaller things happening 2 the people during this huge battle.I've got 2 agree though i can't think of any actor who could bring druss 2 life.any idea's any1?.

Re: Gemmell Movie?

Obviously Legend woul;d be the first choice but I would also like to see the Rigante series made into a movie.

Re: Gemmell Movie?

It certainly would be a great movie, that's for sure.

I wouldn't go and watch it for the simple fact that I already have an image in my mind of what Druss looks like, the sound of his voice and his mannerisms. So for me, it would be a disappointment.

Fine if you haven't read any of the books, you have no preconceived ideas.

I can't think of an actor who could take on the role of Druss, bringing out his sometimes rather weird traits.

I think that Morning Star would be a good choice because it is a book which is alone - it is not in a series and so if this film works then Gemmell's other series could be made.

Legend Hands Down.
But ya there is the problem with still finding the right Character to play Druss.

I think the rigante series. But i think they would change my image of it. Nothing would be like it normally is and they would cut all the scenese i like just like it LOTR.

To be honest it's a tie between wolf in Shadow with Scott Glenn as Jon Shannow and Clint Eastwood as Daniel Cade and Legend with Brian Blessed as Druss
