Honor Harrington Fanmade Teaser Trailer (with apologies to David Weber)

A teaser trailer I put together for the Honor Harrington series of novels. I plan to do a better (and longer) one when I get more clips.

http://groups.google.com/group/basilisk-station

Clips used are from Sky Captain, Wing Commander, Starship Troopers, Halo 2, and the Honorverse Trailer.

Music is "Requeim For A Tower: Lux Aeterna Remix"

I want to make it clear that like David Weber, I agree that Angelina Jolie is not fit to play the role of Harrington. I simply used what clips I had at the time. Hopefully the final version will be much better.

Maybe we're looking at this all wrong here.

What would happen if a new series was done with mostly unknowns who have been well coached?

@MrTrailltrader

That would be my first choice by far.

Theres only one woman who can play Honor Harrington,,,

,,,this woman is famous,,,

,,,,The First Lady, Michelle Obama!

*hehehesnickers*

@Trailltrader

She couldn't captain a matinence shuttle. ;)

Angelina as Honor? I'd rather shoot myself in both eyes!

Nice trailer though ;)

[HazMatMedia]

Indeed. It was a concept I did using what I had. I planned on doing a better one, but the idea kinda fell off the map.

I think Vidya Balan might be a better choice... Right age, can pass for a college student or a 30-year-old with equal ease, and can certainly handle the physical aspects. Plus, an Indian actress in a Hollywood action movie would more or less guarantee sold out theatres in India by itself... which is a market Baen has been pretty slow to get into.

@kseven70 Claudia would be a possibility; Yancy would be a better fit - she's a good enough actress to carry the role .... but I was actually thinking of an actress names Sandrine Holt. She has the looks for it, along with the height; she's on the tall side. But another, more expensive choice would be Kate Beckinsale ... who is probably the best skilled of the actresses listed. Judging by her work in the "Underworld" series of movies, she could easily handle the physical aspects of the role.

@Trailltrader Just the thought of that makes me want to throw up. I'd expect her to be a bus driver in my city - not the here Honor Harrington.

Basically, I do not give a fu** about who plays her if you can keep HH alive in a series and does not get mushied to some TV-Standards. Personality is way more important than looks.

[Shenordak]

@Trailltrader She could play Michelle Henke

@fennecfanatic Fair point.

And as Tron: Legacy shows, CGI isn't *quite* at the point wherte we can convincingly De-Age a celebrity (they managed to make it work by showing young!Jeff Bridges in blurry old video recordings, or by the fact that, as a flawed copy, Clu is *supposed* to seem a bit...off)

[fennecfanatic]

@falarus Ooh, now this I like. Two votes for Claire Forlani!

[fennecfanatic]

@spacehelmetforacow She's a little too old for it, given prolong.
