ok, i dont think jake is right for the role of matt. matt is my fav character and it would be dissapiontng to say the least for him to be matt. i like everyone else though. cheers!
yeah, just an idea, but I always thought the guy who plays Michael Weston in Burn Notice would be great for Lan, and Hayden Christensen would be perfect for Rand, but otherwise, I somewhat agree with this list. And let's face it, if they ever make the movie, we will all HATE it, no matter what. haha
Boo to Nynave! She is a strong, smart woman character who doesn't have the best looks but makes up for it with attitude. Everyone else though would be fine. I especially like the choices for Moraine, Lan and Min.
u r missing sum Jeremy Irons as Tam Al'Thor Donald Sutherland as Thom Merrilin Gerard Butler as Uno Shaidar Haran/Myrddraal - Hugh
Laurie Jackie Chan as Juilin Sandar Jessica Alba as Berelain Sean Connery as Artur Hawkwing Clint Eastwood as Pedron Niall Brad Dourif as Padan Fain kevin mcnally as basel gill Ben Affleck as Logain and for ones u have liv tyler as Moiraine Damodred
IDK I always saw Michael Dorn as Lan personally (Worf from star trek TNG) his size stature and voice all seem to fit. and maybe Bruce Spence as Thom. Just a thought.
thumbs up only for elayne.the others are lame...too old for the boys and the girls from the two rivers..except from nynaeve who is preety close.for lan we need a combination of stalone,aragorn,chuck norris and terminator,all these with the man with the right figure
@mrbojangles487 sorry, i'm just passionate about this film being done as well as it can be. i think using mostly unknowns, or at least people we arent subjected to in every movie that's coming out in recent days, would be the perfect choices. people with real accents too. This world needs a diverse group to accurately portray it.
how do you feel about putting Dominic Purcell as Lan, and Sienna Guillory as Moiraine. Garrett Hedlund as Mat, Jared Padalecki as Perrin and Hayden Christensen as Rand. Emmy Rossum is Egwene, Nynaeve is like Kate Beckinsale and Elayne is Scarlett Johansson
@GeFlous yha, Matt has to have a natural loose easy-going joker/gambler lol. Jake has a naturally worried expression, and while Matt is worried several times throughout this whole thing I think a niaeve jack sparrow type character would represent him best, though johnny just won't do. need his personality but matt like looks and "innocence" lol
I think the male side of this cast is pretty abysmal with the notable exception of Clive as Lan (but I prefer Gerard Butler). The fems are pretty spot on though. Evangeline has been my fav for Nynaeve for some time as well. I think a better Min can be found.
I don't like the one for perrin or mat but everyone els is good expecualy the one for lan I think though for the younger ones like rand mat and min should get younger castes.
Vin Diesel would make a great Lan. Just saying his voice and physique fits perfect. Ewan Mcgregor as Rand. Dominic Monaghan as Mat. And i cant think of anyone for Perrin. But i believe they shouldnt look like actors only teen girls would go watch.
Craig Horner for Rand Helo from BSG for Lan,Grace Park for Nyneave ,James Callus for Asmodean Amanda Righetti as Aviendha maybe Ellen Page as Min,Jeremy Renner as Matt Hugh Jackman as Rhuarc or Logain
Garrett Hedlund as mat, Hayden christensen as perrin, Josh hartnett as rand, Rachel Weisz is perfect as Moiraine, Russell Crowe as Lan, Orlando Bloom as Galad, Colin Farrell as Asmodean, and Emma Watson as Elayne,
the three main guys are all messed up. none of those guys can act lets alone look like rand mat and perrin. and if anyone suggests that angelina jolie play Lanfear i will hunt you down.not really but yeah. Megan Fox if anyone needs to do Lanfear.
I never thought of Rachael Wiess for moirane. I like that. A few of my other cast members would be Eric Bana as Perrin, and Asthon Kutcher or Sean William Scott as Mat, him being the goofball. And i think Dwayne Johnson would fit well as Lan. Maybe try to throw Gerard Butler in there somewhere.
IF and when a film is ever made about this series you will have to choose from a new generation of actors that are unborn or adolescents as of now. The Lord of the Rings was several decades in the making before Peter Jackson ever got the green light.
How about Howard Stern as Thom and Gilbert Godfried as Paden Fain?
I like the concept. The ones I definitely agree with are Emmy Rossum (Egwene) and Rachel Weisz (Moiraine); however, Viggo would most definitely make a better Lan...and someone more on the 'stubborn' side would have to be Nynaeve, though you have the looks idea down....I'm thinking Kate Beckinsale. But yes, Rachel Weisz would be perfect for Moiraine! :)
very good female choices and a lan except for rand and perrin. rand has to be almost 2m(6.5ft) I would go for someone like josh hartnett or tom welling. And you need big guy for perrin try the rock or vin diesel.
imagine the rock or vin with longish hair and a beard.... neither would look great i dont think. I think Anton Yelchin would be a good Mat.. possibly. Sam Worthington as Perrin, as for Rand.. that i think would an extremely hard role to cast... considering his physical description AND the amount he changes throughout the whole story
Trying to be constructive, not rude, but I totally agree with ilovezunes, most of them are too old. Rand is difficult, Wes is too old and too short. Jake doesn't strike me as Mat, but not a bad choice. Chris is not Perrin. I don't think Evangeline works for Nyn, but maybe I have her typecast in my head. Kate is too girl-next-door for Elayne. I don't think Clive can pull off tough like Lan. Claire is almost 40, she'd have been great 20 years ago. Egwene and Moiraine = good. Text over faces = bad.
Jake may be a bit too old for Mat and yes I agree Evangeline would make a awesome Nynaeve.
Overall though, casting this film ill be very difficult due to: 1. everyone envisions the characters a lil different, 2. the characters change from their innocent naiveness in the earlier books to much harder mature individuals in later books. (hard to find an actor/actress who can make that leap in both physical appearance and personality.)
Most likely, the majority of cast will be played by unknowns.
They are all cute, but I don't think they would fit. They're supposed to be younger and these guys are in their 20's. Nynaveve was good, and Moraine...but not really the rest. That's just my 2 cents.
I've been discussing this with folks on fanfiction! You made some really good suggestions, though Perrin's a hard one to come up with...
All of them seemed pretty good - I liked Egwene & Lan, though Rand, Mat & Perrin were a bit iffy.
Someone suggested that a younger Patrick Swayze in "Steel Dawn" would be a good Lan. After looking up the film, I agreed, though he probably won't fit the part now.
I think Triple H should play Lan..he's a wrestler and has some acting skills like most wrestlers,this is a role for more action than words and he has the Lan look..not a smiling guy indeed..:d
First of all, learn GRAMMAR. Its not hard. definite no on Perrin and Mat. And personally, I think that the dude who played Aragorn would be a kickass Lan. Or Liam Neeson(Nieson?)
mwah you mean Viggo Mortensen he played Aragorn. Jeh he would be good but i think to famous to fit in the story and it would make the movie only more sound like a lotr rip off or something.
hate to say it, although some good ideas, there too old, we need people who at least look like teenagers!!!
