She has that young Dakota Fanning vibe and i know people liked DF for the role.
--- End quote ---
Dakota Fanning is old enough now that she could play Molly Carpenter (which is why I cast it that way)
Is the girl in the add a proven actress? The girl i chose for Ivy was in Kick Ass as Hit Girl, and for her age she was an amazing actress, she could easily pull off the fight scene with the Denarius.
MoSeS:
I have updated my cast and made some rearrangments. My list started off coherent with characters listed in order of significance, but it has sort of become random.
Also I admit the list has become a bit ridiculous because I tried to squeeze in as many major actors and actresses as I could even for small roles that wouldn't really require a big star, but I figure since it's a fake cast anyways, why not get as many as I can in there.
I even casted Cowl and we don't even know who that really is yet, it could be a character that's already been revealed. But like I said, I am really stretching this to get a bunch of big names in.

MoSeS:
I know there is already a thread for a Dresden Files Movie Cast, but it's outdated (except my last few posts).
I wanted to get a fresh take on who should be cast if they were to make a movie or series of movies.

Zachary Quinto - 4 (14.3%)
Lee Pace - 2 (7.1%)

Knight Disciple:
Right, I'll do a post for male characters, then one for femaleedit the gals into this one.
Harry Dresden: Maybe, but he seems a bit old unless we start a ways down the line. I was under the impression Harry was hitting maybe 30 in Storm Front. Clive has some of the look, but looks a bit too mature for what I picture early Harry being.
Michael Carpenter: Hm, maybe. I'd generally pictured Michael being a bit more buff, and with a squarer jaw. Maybe Sean Bean here? ;)
Bob the Skull: Well, if it's voice-only (which it ought to be, dang it!), I can't say for sure. I'd need an audio clip of him.
Kincaid: Perfect.
Ebenezar McCoy: Perfect.
Warden Morgan: Pretty much perfect. Even/especially if they throw in the scars. ;D
Johnnie Marcone: Actually, yes. Perfect.
Thomas Raith: You know...I can see it, yes.
Carlos Ramirez: Looks solid, don't know the guy.
Nicodemus: He could get the delivery down, but...he's too old. Nicky boy is supposed to look like he's in his 30's, isn't he?
Hendricks: Perfect.
Sanya: Yeah, I think that works pretty well.
Erlking: Hm...yeah, it works. 8)
Ferrovax: Bean should be Michael, not sure who to put here. Maybe Nighy?
Donar: Eh. I'd pictured someone...older. Maybe Christopher Lee here?
Lloyd Slate: I like it.
Shiro: Perfect.
Fix: Solid choice.
Red King: Eh, maybe. Couldn't hurt to use someone who looks a little younger, no offense to the actor in question. ;)
Borden: Seems a solid choice.
Lord Raith: I'd put Rickman here. Lee has the charisma, but again, he seems to look a bit old for it. Rickman could give the role some needed vitality (no offense to Mr. Lee).
Mortimer: I dunno. I don't have a good picture in my mind here.
DuMorne: Decent. Part of me hates wasting him in such a small role, though.
Duke Ortega: Perfect.
Waldo Butters: Solid. He might be workable for Mortimer, too.
Madrigal: Good.
Listens to the Wind: Maybe. I pictured him with more grey and wrinkles.
The Merlin: Hm. Possible. Another picture might help.
Uriel: Yeah, I can see it.
Rashid: I'd love it, but....Rashid's of Middle Eastern descent, so I can't really say it feels like a good fit. Possible alternate for The Merlin.
Cowl: Not bad.
Grevane: Oh, I like it, actually.
Edit: Time for the ladies.
Murphy: I can see it. Hopefully she's not too tall. ;)
Ivy: Pretty good.
Molly: I think so. Hopefully she's not too old that she can't "age with the role".
Susan: Decent choice.
Mab: Hm. Maybe...I think Tilda Swinton could work here as well.
Lea: Eh. Not seeing it.
Maeve: Sure.
Aurora: Um...actually, maybe.
Lily: Liking it.
Justine: Very solid pick.
Corpsetaker: Yeah, this seems solid.
Elaine: I think so, yes.
Lash: Heh. Solid.
Mavra: Perfect.
Lara: Hm. Solid, at least.
Bianca: Good.
Inari: Too old.
Ancient Mai: If we lather on the age makeup, maybe.
Ms. Gard: Solid.
Charity: Not really. I think if you swap Janssen and Pfeiffer, it would work better. Pfeiffer would bring a bit more maturity to the role.
Margaret: Actually, yeah, I think this is pretty good.
Tera West: Good.
Tessa: Again, swapping Janssen and Pfeiffer here. Feels like a better fit.
Arianna Ortega: Perfect.
Priscilla: Yeah, I think this is good.
Ursiel:
I liked most of them except Harry and Thomas. But I don't know of anyone else lol
