Arcanist Lupus Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Regardless of the likelihood of the movie, we can still pick the actors we think would be perfect in the roles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcanist Lupus Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 If it does happen, please don't let it be another Eragon... The Mistborn movie would benefit from better source material, so I'm not too concerned in that regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminar Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Clubs: No idea Sorry. I just can't find anyone that fits. He might be too old to play the part but Clint Eastwood could make an amazing Clubs. Watch gran turino to see where I'm coming from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straff Venture Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think someone already mentioned Christian Bale as Kelsier, but even though hes a bit young I think he'd make a great Wax if an Alloy of Law film was made - on the Tor cover Wax even looks a bit like him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Yasha Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) If it does happen, please don't let it be another Eragon... I doubt Brandon would allow that to happen. He'll be working closely with the screen-writer I'd have to assume, to ensure it's to his satisfaction. He might be too old to play the part but Clint Eastwood could make an amazing Clubs. Watch gran turino to see where I'm coming from. Just so we can somehow slip in the line, "get off my lawn!" Clint, to this day, is the best one to deliver that line Edited September 12, 2012 by Lyrebon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightflame Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Through prowling around and seeing who played who in different movies, I have decided on a dream team. Vin: Ellen Page. It's been said before, and I agree with it. After seeing what she did in Inception, I think she would make a really good Vin at all stages of her character arc. Kelsier: Liam Neeson (Spelling?). I'm going for this one as well. The only thing I've seen him in is The Dark Knight Saga, but he seemed perfect for the role of a grieving Knight Templar like Kelsier. Breeze: Tom Hardy. Again, Inception. At first I thought that RDJ would be the best for the role, but then I realized that his characters, while snarky, are often rich, deprived, etc. Tom Hardy is a better fit. Dockson: Jude Law. Sane companion who keeps Kelsier in check? I think we have a winner. Clubs: Geoffry Rush. He can be the neat old guy and such. Ham: Matt Smith. He's a cool guy and I could see him bothering Breeze with all those philosophical questions. Marsh: Can't think of anyone. Elend: Daniel Radcliffe. Why? Because I got tired of looking for actors in things that I liked and just decided that Elend should be Harry Potter. The Lord Ruler: Tom Hiddleston. He looks like my mental picture of him, and has the ability to portray the unsettling calm that TLR always has. He could also do The Lord Ruler well in the final battle. Sazed: Again, I can't think of anyone to fit the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeatherWriter Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Okay, I've been watching Wallander recently (Don't look at me like that. I have a Hiddles problem. I'm aware.) and there was a girl in one of the episodes who just struck me as a really good pick for Vin. Flora Spencer-Longhurst is her name, but her IMDb page is kinda lame, so here's some pictures: Since she's not really well known, here's a good clip of her acting. The character that she plays in Wallander actually has some similarities to Vin. Tragic life, major trust issues, but occasionally Wallander will get her to open up a bit and she shows some humor and wit. As soon as she realizes what she's done though, she closes up again and pushes him away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straff Venture Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'd go with her over Ellen Page. A lot of people like her, but I think her face is a bit too cheerful for Vin, she doesn't really look like a hardened street urchin/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Yasha Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Aw man, why did she have to die? I was half expecting her to somehow resurrect and be like, "nope, I gots the plot armour", then I re-read that she was in one episode. Looks like a good show but Branagh is a bit rough, and I don't mean his appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autunm summer Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think the guy who played Bootstrap Bill in the Pirates movies would play an excellent Clubs. it should be animated,or human acted and then animated (like 1978 lord ofthe rings) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradel Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 it should be animated,or human acted and then animated (like 1978 lord ofthe rings) Thank you for bringing up the memories I've tried so very hard to repress. NOTHING deserves to end up like like that silhouette-with-glowing-eyes-and-pink-blood-Orc-fight. ...maybe Twilight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightflame Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Oh! Joseph Gordon Levitt would make a perfect Demoux. He's made for the cute undying loyalty type guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Yasha Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Joseph Gordon-Levitt should be in everything. ALL THE THINGS! That said, James Purefoy should be as well. I'm just trying to think of a role for him. And no, no animation. Except TenSoon because I imagine you'll need facial movements that aren't dog-like, and because I'm imagining TenSoon's form to be larger than the average wolf. This is why live-action is a good idea. Find the right actress and the film will look gorgeous with a talented director. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree emphatically, I just watched the first Jurassic Park, and its aged really well (its the very first movie I remember seeing in theaters. And I think its because of the animatronic use over graphics. I suspect even something bloatedly expensive like Avatar will look dated in 5-10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortaan Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Was actually discussing this with the wife on the way home from Thanksgiving, and we decided on: Kelsier: Ewan MacGregor Vin: no agreement. Dox: Jeremy Renner Marsh: Matt Damon Breeze: John Barrowman Ham: Mickey Rourke Clubs: John Noble Spook: Joseph Gordon-Levitt Elend: Chris Pine Sazed: Benedict Cumberbatch Lord Ruler: Daniel Radcliffe Proceed to tear said castlist to shreds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmatist Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Emma Watson for Vin, and Robert Downey Jr. for Kelsier (I know they're both prominent actors, but I can dream, can't I?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Blessed Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 What does everyone think of Vin Diesel playing Marsh? I can just imaging him with steel spikes as eyes, I think he could do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moru Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm not sure if any of you have seen anything he's been in, but Kelsier has always looked like Paul Bettany in my head. I'm not saying I'm not a fangirl of Fillion, because believe me, I love me some Mal. But... Fillion feels too broad to me. Bettany is just who I see in my head as playing him. (He was Dustfinger in Inkheart, the Albino in the Da Vinci Code, the main angel guy in Legion, and he was in a Knights Tale [where he ran around naked for the beginning of the film]) Edit: I also like the idea of Eccleston as Kelsier. AND Straff Venture OR TLR: Ralph Fiennes. (Voldemort.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcanist Lupus Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 It's probably too expensive to be practical, but I'd like to see OreSeur when he's imitating the nobleman to be completely CGI. It will add a little bit of inhumanity that could look very good. (I realize that kandra are supposed to look indistinguishable from the people they're imitating. But it seems like too good of an effect to waste) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-allstar Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 After some thought on this topic, I think Simon Baker would make a great Kelsier. He seems to fit my picture of Kelsier, and he definitely has the wit and charm. Simon Baker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingizu Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hmm, although I like Ellen Paige, I really don't see her as Vin, at all. Vin - Mara Rooney Kelsier - Paul Bettany Most of the rest should be lesser known or unknowns. I've seen how well that worked in Lord of the Rings, and now in The Hobbit as well. Too many famous actors make it top heavy and ends up like the horrendous Ocean's trilogy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindicator Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yes, Samuel Jackson would make an excellent Sazed. "I'm sick of these mother******' ashmounts on this mother******' planet!" I would bloody well pay to see that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teegs Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm still arguing for Aaron Eckhart for Kelcier. He practically played the diversity necessary in the Dark Knight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightweavershallan Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have one casting: Maisie Williams (Arya Stark from Game of Thrones) as Vin. She's just now becoming the right age (15 years old). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
