ToadEx Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Man, Hailee Stenfield for me is the best for Vin. After read all of the suggestions this is the best one for me. Tottaly Rock. I also agree on Michael Fassbender for Marsh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sovereign Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Eddie Izzard as Breeze just shattered any grasp on reality I had fooled myself into believing I had. Also, I can get all the way on board with Michael Fassbender as Marsh. Edited November 12, 2015 by Iron Eyes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 So. ThirdGen brought forth this gem of an idea. You know, if we're talking about possibly casting Era 2... Andrew-Lee Potts as Wayne. I..um..y-yes. Yes, please? So much yes. I'll be in my bunk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhoof Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Someone has probably said it before, but Morgan Freeman needs to play Sazed.... For obvious reasons. And the Lord Ruler can only be Tom Hiddleston. Just imagine- he is in no trailers, no hint given as to who the LR is or looks like. The carriage door opens, and out comes..... TOM HIDDLESTON. AND EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MINDS. Edited November 24, 2015 by Blackhoof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Someone has probably said it before, but Morgan Freeman needs to play Sazed.... For obvious reasons. I disagree with this sentiment. The Terris people must be unified as a race. If Sazed, the main Terrisman in the story, were cast as black, and the Lord Ruler were not, then the big reveal at the end would not ring true for most people, for obvious reasons. If, on the other hand, every Terris person including the Lord Ruler were portrayed by African Americans, and everyone else were white, connecting the dots would be far too easy. A movie adaption must be internally consistent, and for this to work, it must not only be believable that the Lord Ruler could be a part of the same race as Sazed, but it must also stand to reason that no one else would've figured it out in the past thousand years. If the Terris people had darker skin than anyone else in the Final Empire, and the Lord Ruler looked just like them, you'd think someone would've realized that fact before the book began. So unless you want to cast everyone black, Sazed cannot be portrayed by Morgan Freeman. [/rant] Edited November 24, 2015 by Lindel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 They could seriously tweak the story for a movie adaptation, and it could even be that they don't explain that at all, and simply go along with it. Although, Sazed in books two and three would be very hard to do with Morgan Freeman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_am_NOT_fire Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I'm with you for Tom as TLR. He would be so fabulously amazing. I would like Benedict Cumberbatch to play Yolen, because that's how I always pictured him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is such thing as Albinism in the human race, including with dark skinned people!I myself have always pictured Sazed as being darker skinned, TLR being pale white, which is biologically possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: them again, in my mind Rashek, Susebron and Nohadon all look like a twenty years old Fire Lord Ozai Why do I get the feeling that Tarrlok makes a better Rashek? Looks wise. It's water tribe tan, but not as dark as the southern type without being straight up pale either. He's got the expressions down too. Just give him Ozai's superiority complex and arrogance and everything is covered. Then we can cast the Earth King as Susebron or something. It'll be hilariously appropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comatose Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 You could probably do the majority of the mistborn cast using Game of Thrones actors (looking at frequent previous suggestions). Let's see if I can do it: Vin - Maise Williams (Arya) or Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) Kelsier- Nicholai Castor Waldau (who I see is mis-tagged as Bradley Cooper above). Dockson - Aiden Gillen (Petyr Baelish) - Dockson is described as short, isn't he? I think Jason Momoa would be way too tall. Ham - Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo)- He's about the right age and has the right physique? Breeze - Alexander Siddig (Doran Martell) - personally, I think I would prefer Aiden Gillen in this role, but he's kind of skinny for Breeze. Not really happy with this choice, but running out of options. Clubs - Jonathan Pryce (High Sparrow) Spook - Thomas Brodie Sangster (Jojen Reed) Elend Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell) - He's got the curly brown hair down at least. Perhaps too pretty for Elend, but romantic leads in movies are usually prettier than they should be. Sazed - Conleth Hill (Lord Varys) - He's a Eunuch in GoT, why not in MB? Marsh - Maybe Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont)? Not totally happy with this one either, but we are running out of options. TLR - Kit Harington (Jon Snow) - I find this choice interesting, but TLR is supposed to look surprisingly young, early twenties-ish, and Kit Harington has that pretty boy thing which I think would work. Also, TLR doesn't need much expression, so there's a win too, haha. Shan Elariel - Natalie Dormer (Margery Tyrell) Allrianne Cett - Rose Leslie (Ygritte) - when I've seen her in interviews, she's definitely got that bubbly energy. Zane - Richard Madden (Robb Stark) OR Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Snow) Straff Venture - Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) certainly fits the bill persona-wise, though his colouring is wrong. I suppose that's what hair dye and wigs are for . Tindwyl - Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) Ashweather Cett - Jerom Flynn (Bronn) - This was a random selection, but on further thought I really like it as a choice . Yomen - Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth)? I forget how old Yomen is supposed to be. The Citizen - Stephen Dillane (Stannis Baratheon). Belldre - Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) if she's not Vin, or Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) with dark hair dye/wig. I think the biggest lack is someone to play Breeze, who is one of my favourite characters. If physiology didn't matter, Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) would do an excellent job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Charles Dance definitely for Straff VentureI could see this, though I've always been partial to Jason Isaac for Staff. The man just looks so... evil. On the subject of the Terris people's skin color and the Lord Ruler... Do you honestly think passing him off as an albino would make sense and feel like a satisfying revelation? I feel like it'd turn it into much less of a "Wow!" moment and more of a,"Wait, what?" moment. And would it even be worth such a convoluted just so you could cast an African American or some other dark skinned person as Sazed? Besides, neither Sazed nor any other Terrismen were ever described as having dark skin. It's a fairly distinctive feature that would likely have been mentioned, just like they mentioned how unusual Adolin's black and blond hair or Shallan's red are compared to the standard Alethi black in WoK. The tall, lanky build, shaved head, elongated earlobes, and distinctive steward's robes are all noted as distinguishing Terris features, but never skin tone. I'm not trying to tell you how to imagine characters in your head, I don't care, I'm just pointing out that the text supports the idea that Terrismen's skin is probably not drastically darker than the rest of the Final Empire. EDIT: Clarified some ideas in the first paragraph. Edited December 13, 2015 by Lindel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloMyNameIsDrBloodborne Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 The Final Empire Vin - I'm least sure about her, since I want someone age-appropriate (i.e. not Ellen Page) and not too typecasty (i.e. not Maisie Williams). So right now I'm leaning towards Anya Taylor-Joy or some completely unknown Daisy-Ridley-esque person out of nowhere. Kelsier - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Sazed - Hugh Dancy (I think I had him as Wax in another thread, but I realize I'd much prefer him in this role) Dockson - Scoot McNairy Breeze - James Nesbitt Ham - Samuel Anderson (impressed me on Doctor Who) Clubs - Peter Capaldi Spook - Asa Butterfield Straff Venture - Liam Neeson (Despite being menacing as hell, we don't get to see him play the villain a lot) Elend Venture - Joe Dempsie (at the risk of turning this into another GOT themed list. Only a couple more, I promise.) Marsh - David Tennant "Renoux" - Stephen Fry Shan Elariel - Gemma Arterton Alendi (flashback) - Richard Armitage The Lord Ruler - Tom Hardy Hoid - Aiden Gillen The Well of Ascension Cett - Brendan Gleeson Zane - Taron Egerton Tensoon - Andy Serkis Tindwyl - Jennifer Connelly Allrianne - Sophie Cookson Ruin - Patrick Stewart The Hero of Ages Yomen - Michael McElhatton KanPaar - Mads Mikkelson MeeLan - Rosabel Laurenti Sellers The Citizen - Thomas M. Wright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindel Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Ruin - Patrick Stewart Hmm... I could see it. He does have a great voice, although he may sound a bit too old to play Ruin. I always pictured him sounding younger than that, pretty sure it was based on descriptions of the voice in the text, but that doesn't necessarily rule him out. I could see Cumberbatch as Ruin, actually, cause he also has a really epic voice, in the most literal sense of the word.
