Outlander

6. It might actually be fun... to collaborate on the casting process (with someone who has the know-how to make videos) to make a video FOR Five Smooth Stones, so if you are at all intrigued by the idea, let me know. Btw, I like Sandra Bullock and her movies... (pretty much all of them in fact) I just really don't see her as Claire. Sorry about the length of my comment... (as you can tell, I am on the wordy side) I'd probably be dangerous with a video camera... LOL.

5. it managed to inspire me to receive an A for my book report on it. Anyway... you did a good job on the video, although if you make more similar to this one, it would be nice to move the written events to the bottom of the screen, (away from the middle of the character's faces) and leave them on screen a tad longer. Of course I have never made a video, (except a few short ones on my phone) so who am I to criticize? It is meant to be constructive though, so please don't take it the wrong way.

4. ALL of the people I had originally chosen, would now be too old. Some are even dead. This book should have been made into a movie YEARS ago, but probably will not be, in my lifetime. If you have not read it, I heartily recommend you do so... although devastatingly poignant, it is nevertheless a thrilling read which I believe should be required reading at the high school level. It was considered to be on the controversial side when written, but but as a senior when it was new,

3. whose talent and looks would measure up to the characters in my favorite novels... to be in movies both already done, and as of yet NOT done. A prime example of a story which totally deserves a prominent spot on the silver screen, but has NOT yet been immortalized on film, is the under-promoted novel (out of print for several years, but finally available once more) "Five Smooth Stones" by Ann Fairbairn. At this point, the casting would need to be entirely redone... because

[rfm2ckt]

She is stunningly beautiful, and I believe underrated as an actress... I'm just not certain she could pull off the accent. It begs the question of who else COULD (currently) properly fill Claire's shoes. The Outlander series of novels is among my favorite EPIC stories of all time... and I have lived a good bit of it. The reading of the entire series is quite an undertaking, which I have managed twice...and am contemplating another go. I have always found it fun to cast (in my imagination) actors

[rfm2ckt]

Good effort... but SORRY, Sandra Bullock ( although gorgeous) is just NOT the right TYPE to be cast as Claire. I would say if she were younger, that Meryl Streep would have been a perfect choice... She is a brilliant actress who is widely known to have an uncanny knack for taking ANY role and making it her own. It is truly a shame, that she (although she looks young for her age) is obviously beyond a believable age to play the part. LOOKS-wise, Keri Russel would make a perfect Claire... (cont.

[caribeiro1874]

congratulations for your film!!! i just don't agree with your choises for the rols.

[ceguvi]

Please, no Sandra Bullock as Claire! More like Saffron Burrows, Claire Forlani or Caroline Goodall! Sandra Bullock is way too American!

[seraph186]

NO! NO! NO! Sandra Bullock is a beauty, yes, but, there are just some things regardless of her star potential she can't pull off.

[brownigirl]

Babs as Mrs. Fitz?? Only if this story were to take place in Brooklyn and all she was not Scottish but jewish! Sandra Bullock- definatly not! However- give Orlando Bloom a slight reddish tinge to his hair and he is could definately be Jamie! And Gwenyth is a good choice!

[rubyr101angel]

love the cast!!!! :)

[wivester]

Orlando Bloom is not big enough

[AuntKristin]

Could someone please tell me who the guy at 4:57 is? It doesn't look like Orlando Bloom to me. Thanks.

[sam12sam09]

@AuntKristin orlando bloom when he was in kingdom of heaven

[molotov1nz]

SANDRA BULLOCK?!?!?! shit no!

[AudyPudy]

Barbara Striesan as Mrs. Fitz???? Come on. That's just...preposterous.

[atlantis315]

i think the switches beetween the songs are too i don't know abusive, hasty, disturbing. they are great songs though

otherwise nice

[fuzzypoodleslippers]

Orlando Bloom =/= Jaime Fraiser D:<

[songbirdsearching]

very good with your "Cliff notes" about the book. It doesn't matter who we would want to be playing the roles of the the characters in the book. The matter is, that we love the story and Dianna Gibaldon has captured our imagination and hearts.

[becca022676]

I agree that she has captured our imagination and our hearts.. but i do believe that it is important to get the right jamie.. and i dont feel that was him. I think she hit it closer with gerard butler..but where is the red hair... it would help me invision it better. I think many people have imagined what jamie and claire look like. I think it would totally dissappoint me if the character wasn't up to par.

[LiteratureElve]

Dougal und Black Jack sind gut ausgewählt, aber (unverzeihlicher Fehler, sorry, aber ist so: ) Jamie hat r o t e Haare.

[whysosexy]

Claire as Rachel Weiz or Keira Knightly

[huntinshamrocks]

evangeline lilly?

[Katina51]

Sandra Bullock and Madeleine Stowe are too old for Claire. Claire needs to be younger and fresher and someone who will have a chemistry with whomever plays Jamie, hopefully an unknown Scotsman, with the look of a Viking.

[BlueBell221]

I believe it's from the Brave Heart Soundtrack.

[100AnniDiSolitudine]

what's the name of the first song used? pleeeeease...

[NiennaSurion]

Its one of the songs used in Lord of the Dance. something 'bell'.

[100AnniDiSolitudine]

its cry of the celts...

[kittystripe]

by the way, Sandra Bullock is ruining this otherwise great video

[kittystripe]

How about Madeline Stowe as Claire and a real scottish red haired Jamie

[beenzotarmie]

Hair can be died to look naturally red if done right...but Jamie must be young, tall, broad with the long nose, cat-like eyes and the all around 'viking-ness' is that a word? LOL! I think Gerard is a fine actor but he is too old to play Jamie. I hope they find a strapping (unknown) scottish man to blow us all away.

[MysticDrug]

I hope that too :D

[TinaKLS]

the casting of Jamie is important ~ I like Orlando Bloom, but the Jamie Fraser character has to be a large guy and he has to have red hair.

[LOLOCOORRY]

I think that Robert Pattinnson could be Jamie Fraser!! IT IS PERFECT characterize with long hair and stronger of course.

[BellaMollyLion]

Orlando Bloom als Jamie? Himmel nein! Ich mag beide Personen aber die passen ja mal gar nicht zusammen! Orli ist ein Schönling und Jamie alles andere als das!

[funnyz2k]

????

[torlundi2003]

Interessantes Cast, obwohl nicht alle Figuren nach meinem Geschmack wären. Wann geht es los?

[solli19]

I luuuv Alan Rickman (though much younger than today) als Colum!! Yeaaaah

[hendrikmarine]

riverdaaance

[Tangoedout]

Gerard Butler is Jamie - I so see David Tennant as Ian or Roger though!!

[mixedupmuddledup]

WOW

I svw david tennant in something the other day and I think he would be a great Jamie!!!! acting wise not looks. except thvt he tottally has the right nose. he is just not tvll enough!!! so funny you should think of him too!!

:)

ps tottally obsessed.

[Tangoedout]

Tennant is six foot one almost six two!!!!!

[Ethrex888]

Hi :-)

What is the name of the song from 1.09 to 2.00?

Thanks in advance :-)

[rockenangles411]

I've read the book and I hope they make it into a series of movies from all 5 books about Jaime and Claire. I could not help put love these fictional characters. If there are and producers reading this - please do it! It will be sucessful as long as the characters are believable.

[sarah7589]

when clare came I was like no... she isn't Clare. but I continued. actualy murtag is good and even Dougal McKenzy could work but then I saw Orlando Bloom and I was like: What was she thinking, he is NOT Jamie!!!!

[Expriim]

Nooooooon pas Orlando Bloom pour Jamie !!

[marbal33]

ridicule !!! casting pourri !

[DeborahBrenner]

You might want to start with an editor, and then move on to have someone else cast this thing. Jamie IS Gerard Butler, although it amuses me to think of Barbra Streisand as a maid.

[rogueseducer]

this is, without a doubt, the worst casting ideas for the movie. I am sorry, but Orlando Bloom is not what I had in mind for Jamie. That should Gerard Butler, hands down. As for Claire, I am stuck between Kate Beckinsale or Rachel Weisz. Fergus, possibly Bloom, but probably not. Gwenyth Paltrow as Lagoheir, I DON'T THINK SO. Leave that to Sophia Myles. Ugh..this is the worst compilation of actors/actresses for these parts!

[pushup8daisies]

oh vomit...

[aBORTIONATOR12]

sandra bullock and orlando bloom...are you kidding orlando could play fergus though gerard butler is the perfect jamie

[usuckbig1]

i always thought of sandra bullock when i thought about claire...the way they describe her face!

[lisromera]

Sandra Bullock and Orlando Bloom??? definitely not!!!!

[LilTippin]

I'm all about Orlando being Fergus he is not a Jamie that is all Gerard.

[runbaby1163]

I think Orlando is a perfect Fergus!

[chasingthesun89]

Orlando's definitely not a Jamie. but he could play Fergus (that would fit much better)

[CherylL66]

My goodness, how creatively (and interestingly) you cast this! Very nice, entertaining video!

:-)

[becky37865]

Orlando Bloom would not be my first choice. I wanted Heath Ledger, but now that can never be. I want to see someone with Jamie's red hair and heighth get the part.

[rhianrhina]

I cannot picture Orlando Bloom as Jamie Fraser. He could be Roger...but i think even Roger was taller than him. Sorry dear I'm one of those women who can picture Gerard Butler as Jamie Fraser. But Gwyneth Paltrow can definitely be Laoghaire!(But then I think, she's too tall!LOL)

[ktay18]

hm, as much as i love orlando bloom, i think he would be better as a fergus.  i can just see him brandishing a hook and speaking with a french accent

[Neyva2007]

Nicely done!! I love the music clips!! I keep hoping if enough people hit these videos someone will take notice and just maybe... we will get a long awaited wish to have these books brought to the big screen.

[dounedrey]

Orlando Bloom n'est pas assez Écossais, Il n'est ni costaud, ni viril pour nous faire croire qu'il est "notre Jamie". Gérard Butler est un bien meilleur choix, à mon avis. Quelle gueulle!

Pour ce qui est de Claire....de grâce ne retenez pas Sandra Bullock pour le rôle. Nous n'y croirions pas non plus!

France

[SuPeRocKy89]

spetacolar!!!

[FormerDeathMachine]

Nevermind. It's a book series.

[FormerDeathMachine]

Is Outlanders a sequel to Pride and Prejudice?

[rogueseducer]

uhh..haha NO. Pride and Prejudice was written by Jane Austen and published in 1813. Diana Galbaldon written these literary works in 1991, plus the whole time scale is off; about 60-65 years off.

Pride and Prejudice was written well after the American Revolution, whereas Outlander was in written in the time prior and during the American Revolution.

[tiredofthinkingupsns]

good casting...i especially like how you used the LORD of the DANCE music in the background...irish, but lovely and close enough! lol good job

[clekashman]

Interesting, but I wish you had someone edit the text. And a few of your cast (like Barbara Streisand) were just too well known to be credible as Scots.

[ddwinton]

I think you did a beautiful job on your video. But I must say Orlando Bloom is not a very good choice for Jamie. He is not large enough of a man. Orlando Bloom would make a good Young Ian. Or maybe even Roger. But he certainly is no where near a Jamie.

[Jaqueline001]

You did a beautiful job! I totally agree with Black Jack! I saw pirates 3 and it came to me then. :)

[mockingbirdklm]

you took alot of time to put such a lovely video together. beautifully done.
