Outlander Movie Casting (Outlander by Diana Gabaldon)

UPDATE:
Not too happy with my choices anymore. Think Emily Blunt for Claire, Gerard Butler for Dougal, James McAvoy for Ian and Natalie Dormer for Laoghaire .

My third take on the cast for the first Outlander movie based on Diana Gabaldon's great "Outlander". I worked hard on it and I think that I came close to perfection (IMO).
I used different music this time, some new but also some old pictures and two new actors. This is MY dream cast. I wasn't happy with my previous videos for 100% (which is why I made the 3rd one) but this one fits my imagination of the characters of the book for 100%. I hope you like it, cheers

Rachel Weiss would be an amazing Clare.

Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) for the young Jamie, after all he is supposed

to be 23 years old to Clare's 27 years.

Gerald Butler for the older Jamie, when Clare comes back 20 years later.

@melanieanastos Well...rachel Weisz is 40...and Andy Whitfield is 37. Would make the movie lose a lot of credibility to cast actors who are about 15 years older than the characters. I really like Andy Whitfield and I think that he has jamie qualities, but due to his age and also his height he wouldn't be the right choice for Jamie, I believe. And Rachel Weisz might fit the visual description - but somehow I just cant see her as Claire (but that's just me ;)). She also is way too old.

How about Chris Hensworth, new australian actor, plays in Thor!

[LarsUlrichFan1988]

@ThaJoshTaylor ??? I did use him for Jamie in this video!

[Ridin4The2Ganja0Bus]

How about Paul Bettany as Jamie? Pretty tall and already a redhead. Looks more closely like the Jamie I imagined, just needs to bulk up. He could also pull off the young and older Jamies well.

[LarsUlrichFan1988]

@Ridin4The2Ganja0Bus I totally love Paul Bettany :) He seems to have a lot of Jamie qualities though for me personally he is on the other side of the Jamie spectrum, if that makes sense. He wouldn't even have to bulk up too much, IMO. Though for me Paul Bettany is and always will be Geoffrey Chaucer ;) But thanks for the suggestion (and finally a suggestion that can be taken seriously ;))

cheers

@osuzyq828 This was my impression as well. Those 3 options were somewhat realistic. I can definitely see Robert Carlyle in the Outlander saga.

[osuzyq828]

Murtaugh and Colum - yes, maybe Ian, that's about it.

[aliebellule]

Chris hemsworth is a great choice plus he looks great with longer hair and red would suit him. And he's defenitely got the eyes!

I wish I wish for the mini series on the sci fi channet. The brits would do it well

[squinches]

These are GREAT calls in casting! I am LOVING the idea of C-Hens, and there's no other choice than Kate Winslet for EVERY role, really—she's the only actress capable of portraying a real, full-feeling woman. She'd be a terrific Claire.

I will gladly line up to see this version.
