Casting Game!


Recommended Posts

So, its rather simple. I list around 3-5 actors, and one of Brandons series. The next poster then has to cast these actors as characters in the mentioned series, no matter how bad they fit in. The next poster then list another 3-5 actors, and a series, and so the game continues.

Okay, so the series cast is Mistborn era 1. You have these actors:

-Orlando Bloom

-Emma Watson

-Julia Roberts

-Arnold Schwarzenegger

-Paul Bettany

Well...

Bloom for Kelsier. Fits somehow.

Watson for Shan Elariel. Only role where glamour is required.

Roberts for...damnation... er, Tindwyl, maybe?

Schwarzenegger fits Ham.Somehow.

And Betanny for Demoux. Somehow their faces seem to fit.
 

Okay, let's say Warbreaker. You get:

- Gene Kelly

- Charlie Chaplin (in Black and white, mind you!)

- Depradieu

- Elisabeth Taylor

- Richard Burton

Hm, this looks like fun... and is harder than I thought, especially considering that my knowledge of classical Hollywood is, unfortunately, quite low.

  • Gene Kelly for Lightsong... something about that smile in Wikipedia photos of him. 
  • Charlie Chaplin for Haverseth/Bluefingers. He has that "innocent look" down the pat.
  • Gerard Depardieu for Tonk Fah, because he sorta fits the description, if you squint.
  • Elisabeth Taylor for Blushweaver, hands-down.
  • Richard Burton for Llarimar. He has a scowl that would compliment Kelly's smile.

And of course, the entire film is in black and white, because what better medium to show Awakening in? :P

Alright, so the work is The Emperor's Soul. You've got:

  • Ken Watanabe
  • Daniel Wu
  • Priyanka Chopra
  • Amr Waked
  • Iko Uwais

Ken Watanabe is definitely Gaotona.  

Daniel Wu... Ashravan, perhaps?

Priyanka Chopra seems too sultry to be Shai, but also too young to be Frava.  I don't know her career so I couldn't tell you whether or not she'd pull off either role.

Amr Waked seems like, with a bit of makeup, the Bloodsealer

and Iko Uwais is Striker Zu to a tee.  

The next series cast is an anthology of Brandon's otherwise disconnected short stories, Cosmere or otherwise.  (Shadows for Silence in the Forests of HellSixth of the DuskPerfect State, etc.)

You have: 

  • Liam Neeson
  • Edward Norton
  • Walter Koenig
  • Diana Rigg
  • Keira Knightley

I'm gonna go Dusk, because I havent read many disconnected Brandon anthologies. I dont think any of the actors match physically, but here we go:

-Liam Neeson seems like the best choice for Dusk from the ones availible.

-Edward Norton... I think he would be great as motion capture for Kokerlii. Oscar worthy.

-Walter Koenig could play Dusks uncle in a flashback.

-Diana Rigg would be motion-capture for Sak.

-And Kiera Knightley as Vathi.

 

Now, lets cast Elantris with:

-Leonardo DiCaprio

-Emilia Clarke

-Billy Crudup

-Charles Dance

-Scarlett Johansson

Leonardo DiCaprio: Hrathen? Why not?

Emilia Clarke: Sarene

Billy Crudup: Ahan

Charles Dance: Iadon. Definitely.

Scarlett Johansson: I mean, she's not the way I pictured her, but I can see her pulling off Karata pretty well.

 

Series: Mistborn Era 2.

- Christian Kane

- Emma Thompson

- Lee Pace

- Chris Evans

- Christina Ricci

Way of Kings

Chris Hemsworth

Hugh Jackmon

Morena Baccarin

William Shatner

Sophie Turner

-Chris Hemsworth has a booming powerful voice, so he would voice-act the Stormfather (this is actually a real fan-cast I have).

-Hugh Jackman would be Dalinar. 

-Morena Baccarin for Jasnah (another real fan-cast I have).

-William Shatner would probably do okay as Taravangian.

-Sophie Turner would be Shallan.

Now, lets try casting the Reckoners! With:

-Iwan Rheon

-Stephen Amell

-Jessica Henwick

-Robert Downey Jr

Hm...

Matthew McCougnahey for Obliteration.

Cillian Murphy might make a good Larcener.

Octavia Spencer (uses Google to look her up) has to be Regalia.

Timothy Spall would make a fun Curveball.

Morgan Freeman for Edmund.

And Evangeline Lilly could be a great Loophole.

Lets give Warbreaker a go with:

-Matt Damon

-Allison Sudol

-Anthony Mackie

-Richard Dormer
