The cast for RepCom

Heh, if she were cast as Parja, I'd be enormously jealous of Fi. Good gravy, I though Jewel Staite
was cute as hell in Firefly- She'd make a gorgeous Parja.

Yes and yes to Jason Isaacs and Nathan Filion. <3

Owen Wilson's tone bothers me sometimes. He's a fun guy, don't get me wrong but I think Fillion woud do a better job. I like him more too.

Can we get Alan Rickman in too? He could be an exceptional thief and wear an expensive suit. He's totally a Separatist.

Bleh, no way. He seems like a spineless tool so maybe have him as a sleasy scientist or something.


But I have a suggestion for Mij Gilamar, and that would be Hugh Laurie

And I support having Summer Glau somewhere, but to be honest that actress is best suited for "crazy" characters.

I love Alan Rickman. He doesn't seem like a spineless tool to me but he could certainly play one. He could be a sleazy scientist. For a moment I thought that he could be Count Dooku but Christopher Lee has him covered.

I can't get the picture of Hugh Laurie as Doctor House out of my head but I could see him as Gilamar.

I'm not really a fan of pigeonholing actors to player only certain types of characters (I believe the term is typecast?).

Summer Glau would be brilliant in whatever role she's given, she's one of those actors that really becomes the character she plays. I just... can't quite come up with who she should play as, but I'd prefer the non-crazy. I just can't think of any female characters we haven't covered yet that she would be good as. o_O

She could probably do Etain. A bit of hair coloring and you got yourself a young Jedi padawan that at first is osik'la scared and then ends up kicking ass. She can manage both and she isn't damn sexy or ugly. She has that charm that Darman can later fall for ^^

Tag it and bag it, I think ForestRaptor has a wining idea.

Another one occurred to me- Could more of the Cuy'val Dar make appearances(such as in flashbacks) ?

Let's sum up the results we have so far.

Etain




Bardan

Emile Hirsch


and Angelina Jolie as a directorial decision

Kal Skirata




Walon Vau




Besany Wennen




Rav Bralor




Parja Bralor




Jaller Obrim




Arligan Zey




Tobi Dala




Laseema




Fenn Shysa




Mij Gilamar




Separatist Scientist




Anonimous Mando




Somebody, no matter who




And, well, Bodie Taylor and Temuera Morrison as commandos, not much choice here, really.
Now that you seem them all together waht do you think?

Summer Glau would make for a better Etain than the girls who are up there. Plus I don't see any of them wielding a big ass disruptor rifle

While I like Summer as Etain, I picture her more as Ellen Page. I do agree that Summer exhibits the conc rifle aspect of Etain, but let's face it, Etain really isn't that bad ass all of the time. It was like a couple of shining moments in Triple Zero, then she just went to being pregnant and sad. :/

Ellen Page is sweet and really has that "farm girl" look about her, at least in my opinion. Plus she immediately brings to mind "teenaged pregnancy."

Looking through the completed list makes me laugh! I love it! Also, Owen Wilson was sort of a joke for Fenn Shysa. Nathan Fillion is a really great pick for him, so my vote is with Mr Fillion. (I love that man.)

- I really can't decide on Bardan. I think that will be Daennika's job.
- I think I might have to change my vote on Vau to Robert Patrick. That man looks fierce.
- I love Tricia Helfer as Bes, my vote still goes with her.
- Character-wise, I'm all for Jewel Staite being Parja! Seeing her as Kaylee definitely makes her sweet, determined, and a little feisty. Plus, y'know, an engineer.

I AM SO SICK OF ALL THE BARDANS!!!!

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum lately and went fangirl on Matt Damon for an hour and a half, he is an enormous douche bag. I thought he'd make a good Jusik but then, he isn't funny enough.

Thanks for this recap, Kote!!!

Picking the right Bardan IS difficult. Of all the options we have here I like David Wenham, but maybe it's just I like him in general. Maybe we should try Christian Bale as Bardan? He's a good actor, and he can be both funny and badass. And eventually he'll put on the Mando armor.

- +1 for Ellen Page as Etain. Summer Glau's good, but I can hardly picture her playing a faliled Jedi.
- Yay for Robert Patrick! Of all them he has the most fierce AND sane look at the same time.
- As for Besany, I'm starting to have doubts about Tricia Helfer. Sarah Wynter's good too.

Anyone thought that Jewel Staite could actually make a good Etain too?..

My pick for vau would be an older adam baldwin, etain would be ellen page, obviously ed harris for skirata, temuera morrison or bodie taylor for the clones, emile hirsch or david wenham for bardan (though im not entirely sure about those), gary oldman as jaller obrim (sp?), owen wilson (with more facial hair) as shysa, hugh laurie (without facial hair) as gilimar or zey, mila kunis as parja umm yea thats all ican think of for now. I cant quite put my finger on who would be good for besany

Tracyn

Woot Serenity!

I say we put that whole cast in from there and make it work!

Anyways...I think summer makes a good Etain (sorry Catika) for some reason that's how I pictured her.

Bardan seems to be doing well so far...Skirata is on the dot Vau seems right and well hmmm the clones who to do them...i wonder

wasnt etain... well ugly?

No, she wasn't ugly. She was plain, there's a difference.
Most people we see in movies are... well, model-quality. That's not realistic, as most people are not picture-perfect beautiful. Etain is normal.

See, this is my problem when I try to cast roles for movies out of books. None of my mental images ever look like any pre-existing person. When I see a book-movie the actor's face always slays my mental image... I wish I could just 'create' my own actor or something...

I so rarely see characters in my head as existing people either! Which is one of the reasons why I haven't been able to think of anything to post on this thread before. But I have to add- in my mind, both Etain and Zey were black. I've no idea as to why. I'm sure Etain was described as having light, freckled skin at one point, too...

Laurence Fishburne for Zey?
