(no subject)

A while ago I was pimping discussing the Dark Tower series with npirie, the main topic of which was casting a movie, which of course every DT fan does. She's never read the books, so I thought, hmm. Who would I cast as Roland? I mean, y'know, besides Retro!Clint Eastwood.

Definitely not Paul Gross, as was her suggestion (when she reads the story, she'll realise how many worlds of wrong this would be).

But she got me thinking, and what I came up with was this:




Is that not the essence of young!Roland? Now fast-forward to Callum's age now, and presto! Roland.

Something like this, but with Roland's clothes and smaller guns:



He could keep the hat from the first one; it's accurate.

I don't know who I'd cast as Eddie, nowadays. In my complete fantasy cast, where I can use anyone from any when, there's only ever been one choice, all these long years:




This is one of those subjects that I could waste time blithering on about for hours. However, since there's so much else to waste time blithering on about, I won't.

Anyone with any dreamcast!suggestions is welcome to chime in, though. Probably should add a couple of Americans, or it'll never get past Hollywood.

On second thought, maybe Bruce MacDonald should direct it.

Which brings up another question: Who should direct a DT film?

Okay, I'm done now.

I definitely have to check up those books if you're gonna cast Callum in it ::grins::

Btw did you know that they turn "His Dark Materials" into a movie? Yes!

My all-time favorite cast is Paul & Callum for GOOD OMENS - it's such a shame that this is not going to happen ever. Damn!

There was talk about doing the movie once, but apparently the studio wanted to ruin the original story and Neil and Terry were not about to let that happen. My dream cast for GO has always been Ewan McGregor and Johnny Depp. *g* You'd cast Callum as Crowley, right? I wonder how he'd do a British accent.

Not necessarily. I mean, Callum could be the Angel - like in Wilby. It would be something new for Paul as well, being the demon ::smiles::.

Oh, I think Paul could pull off demonic VERY well. His looks would work in this case, because demons who look like blue-eyed innocents are downright creepy. I've never heard him do a British accent, though. Hmm.
