Just so you know, Cavendish did it first!

Everyone knows that if your original fiction is strong enough, *someone* is eventually going to adapt it for Broadway. Just because it hasn't happened with a PbP game yet doesn't mean it *can't...*

Now, question is, if EoA was optioned for a *movie,* what actor would you want playing your character?

Kenneth Branagh is probably too old now, I suppose. :cry:

Hey--the "living or dead" rule is in effect. "Golden Age Branagh" is totally a valid choice. Although I gotta say, I equate Charles with Hamlet whenever I look at your character portrait. No murderous uncles in Martel's backstory, I hope?

I *think* I'm leaning towards Paul Giamatti for Otto...the guy needs a decent character actor.

I have trouble deciding who might portray a decent Lia ... She'd need to have a little Sigourney Weaver in her character, yet be somewhat slight and frail-looking.

At least so far, for Lia it's all in the voice. You don't see her face, so she needs an actress with a good 'cold hissing' voice.

NPCs

Marchand-Renier = Alan Rickman, hands down.
Carter = Harrison Ford from the 1980s or so.
Samael = I still think Johnny Depp

Other suggestions?

....If I particularly like the mental image, there may be XP involved. :wink:

I dunno. I think we have to reserve Johnny Depp for Cavendish. He could do both roles, I suppose, although the subtext there is pretty Mr. Darling/James Hook-ish.

I was thinking Christopher Lee as Pelletier. Sean Connery has a more "playboy" style. Pelletier strikes me as having the more straight-backed gentleman style that Christopher Lee does really well.

For Lily, I submit Portia de Rossi of Arrested Development fame.

Dieter, maybe Frankie Muniz? The guy's in his 20s now (according to imdb), a little older than Dieter, and still has the lean frame and youthful looks.

And I have no freakin' clue who could play Kuzan.

There are a few Bollywood actors who would be perfect for Kuzan. As for Cavendish...Johnny Depp could work, but for some strange reason, my brain also goes to Willem Dafoe. As for Andre, I still think John Simms, but I'm open to suggestion.

You'd have to provide names, pictures, etc. >_> I know little about Hollywood as it is, and pretty much nothing about Bollywood.

On the other hand, IMDB is great >->

For Lia, maybe Carol Kane? She played Billy Crystal's wife in the Princess Bride.
