When Wizards First Rule came out, I spent 4 months researching the cast for the movie. You're not even close.

Good for you and I don't really care. These are the people I thought fit the part. Does it say anywhere on here that these same actors are universal? To answer I say No. Everyone is going to picture these characters differently because that is how the human mind works. Thank you for stating that my OPINIONS are wrong. I'm sure Terry Goodkind would be pleased to hear you bashing on others imagination.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Pretty good cast but they are all stars and wouldn't give up high paying movie rolls to do a mini-series....

[LucianUzumaki]

I realize that the people I picked are all highly paid actors, but this is just a dream cast. People I thought would fit the part well.

Thanks for the comment

great choices , i think that paul bethany would be amazing for Darken Rahl what u think. ALSO WHO IS THE BAND PLAYING THAT SONG

[LucianUzumaki]

Yeah I could see Paul Bethany doing Rahl too. The song I used is a remake done my Muse

Viggio Mortensen as Richard Rahl, and Ian McKellan as Zedd. Theron for Kahlan is brilliant!



[dart1285]

never thought of Jim Caviezel as Richard...but he's the closest actor I've seen to how I pictured him in the books. He and Kahlan would definitely be the hardest to cast. Not sure about Charlize Theron...maybe Anne Hathaway or Kate Beckinsale. The rest of the cast would be spot-on though, at least how my mind saw them while reading.

@sharastarr Funny the first video I saw of a cast I kept saying when they popped up Shota "Not Angelina Jolie, not Angelina!" After she was in Beowulf I think "seductive witch woman" is just too predictable a role for her.  I have to say, I think that in general, no one will ever be able to cast any movie, series, etc. as well as we can cast it in our heads as we read. Most actors are very similar in stature, etc. so it'd be just too hard.

I read this book back in '95 and my cast included Cher for Shota, Matthew McConaughy as Richard, Paul Newman as Zedd, Joanne Woodward as Adie. Yes, I did picture 'The Rock' as Chase. Kahlan was hard...I thought JLo.(shrug). Someone somewhere wanted Kate Walsh as Denna...good choice! Anyway, that was 15 years ago..and stars have changed. Oh, another tube wanted Tom Cruise as Darken Rahl...nice! I would take Christopher Loyd as Nathan.

Kristanna Loken is too pretty to be Cara she doesn't have sharp enough features, and Angelina Jolie doesn't fit right to me ether, but I think you hit Zedd and Darken Rahl's characters perfectly. I'll never be able to place a face on Kahlan and Richard though, No one could ever match up to their wonderful complex character's without disappointing me. Great job though.

[amanduhwulf]

Bridget Regan IS perfect.! (I even love Craig Horner) otherwise the show is so different it's ridiculous. I watch it anyway.

You Demmin Nass, Shota, and Giller were great.

You got some list here ... BUT the role for Kathlan WAS/IS meant for briget regan .... it not just the face, its the eye movement . Her simple appearance of 5.9 .... I hope we will see from her more in the years to come.

an besides .. if you realise that list you dont have money left for the movie to make ;)

[BloodyRose3000]

The only one I think you got wrong here is the girl to play Kahlan.
