| Re: A Game Of Thrones: The Movie I think Colin Farrell would be a bit old, too. Isn't Theon around twenty?
Very comprehensive list, though. A lot of thought put in. The main problem I have with your list is that the majority of actors you named are American... and I just can't picture Westeros with a Yankee twang. A few I think are really miscast - Harrison Ford as the Blackfish for one, Patrick Stewart as Tywin (looks right, but just too much of a nice guy/hero typecast - I'd be thinking Professor X the whole time), Kate Winslet as Lysa. Dakota Fanning and Alexis Bledel are just plain no's, as is Tom Welling. And I just couldn't cope with seeing Steve Buscemi in the Seven Kingdoms. That would very quickly shatter the illusion, I think.
Good calls though on Jude Law as Jaime and Jeremy Sumpter as Joffrey. Though I'll stick with my belief that if ever it goes ahead, it should be cast with unknowns. If only for budgetary concerns - I shudder at the thought of the millions of dollars worth of talent you've listed there - deserving or no. |
