I have been reading the Stormlight Archive books since January and I've loved them. I thought I would share my fantasies for a casting list, if Stormlight Saga became a TV series. This is by NO means official; just for fun. Let me know what you think, if you have questions, or if you have other casting ideas/suggestions? Kholin family: Gavilar: Russell Wong Dalinar: Tony Leung Navani: Michelle Yeoh Adolin: Dallas Liu Renarin: Arnold Sun Jasnah: Greta Lee OR Gemma Chan Elhokar: Pierre Png OR Bingchen Ye Davar family: Shallan/Radiant/Veil: Emma Stone OR Madelaine Petsch Heleran Davar: Robert Kazinsky Balat Davar: Sean McGowan Wikim Davar: Justin Tinucci OR Jake Austin Walker Lin Davar (Shallan's dad): Johnny Whitaker OR Nick Bakay Bridge Four: Kaladin: Shuhei Kinoshita Rlain: Christopher Jackson Rock (aka Lunamor): Kristofer Hivju Sigzil: Luke Youngblood OR Justice Smith Lopen: Rami Malek Teft: Steve Coogan OR Gary Oldman Antagonists: Taravangian: Bill Cobbs OR Morgan Freeman OR Erick Avari Venli: Michaela Coel OR Amber Shana Williams Eshonai: Danai Gurira Lezian (aka the Purser): Anthony Mackie Szeth: Taylor Lautner OR Kellan Lutz Moash: Chris Pang Ialai: Fala Chen Supporting Roles: Lift: Auli'i Cravalho? Hesina: Sonoya Mizuno Lerin: Chin Han Tien: Ben Wang Lyn: Katie Leung Wit (aka Hoid): Giavani Cairo Yanagawn (king of Azir): Paras Patel OR Karan Soni Zu: Q'orianka Kilcher Arshqqam (aka the Stump): Renée Victor OR Tantoo Cardinal Noura (Azir vizier): Afshan Azad Highprinces: Sadeas: Daniel Wu Sabarial: Darryl Quon Heralds: Nale (aka Nalan/Nin/Nakku): Regé-Jean Page OR Alfred Enoch Ash (aka Shalash): Lupita Nyong'o OR Aba Arthur Talenel (aka Taln/Talat/Talenelat'Elin): Daniel Kaluuya Jezrien (aka Jezerezeh): Sterling K. Brown If you are interested, I took inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves, Night of the Museum, Harry Potter, Shang-chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, American Born Chinese, Crazy Rich Asians, Coco, Moana, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Wakanda Forever and other films. Also, If you are interested, these 41 actors represent over 10 ethnicities (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Japan, Native American/United States, Norway, Zimbabwe, India, Malaysia, Singapore, United Kingdom...).

So, Brandon confirmed that the TV show for SA is now on stage 3 (finding a studio). Who would you like to see in the show?? I think Avan Jogia looks like Kaladin (or Luke Pasqualino) oh and Marlon Teixeira For Shallan I'd go with Karen Gillan, Jane Levy or Sophia Lillis (she's 17 like Shallan) I can't think of anyone for Adolin, it's soooo complicated. william devaughn stumpf for Szeth Jeff Bridges for Odium What do you think?? who would you like to be Adolin, Dalinar, Syl and the others?

Give your dream casting and movie production and development here. For example, I would love if the stormlight archive was arranged into hour and a half segments like Sherlock, and each season would be a book. Regardless of method, the CGI needed for a project like this would have to be really, really extensive. Ideas?

Assume for a moment that your favorite Sanderson work was being cast. Film? Sure! TV show? Why not? Online mini-series? More power to you! Who would you cast in what, and why? For instance, the role of Hoid requires someone with a known talent for wit who can paradoxically both be in the background and steal the show, simultaneously. So therefore, the only real choice (IMO) is Mark Sheppard, of numerous roles, all of which are guaranteed to go "Oh hey, it's THAT guy!" In addition, the voice of Endowment should be played by Oprah.
