I just realized, I don't think we've cast Mac yet.

So...Bruce Willis? Because I can't think of anyone else who's bald and would look like the kinda guy to speak in grunts and monosyllables. Patrick Stewart has the Bald part, but you can't have Stewart and not have him talk.
My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Patrick Stewart would make a good Merlin

agreed.

and agreed on Bruce Willis, especially if what I suspect about Mac is true.

Naw, I'm not all that fond of Patrick Stewart for Merlin.  Too expected in my books.
Bruce Willis for Mac - I don't know.

I think Jeff Bridges would be great as Eb, he did a good job in True Grit which besides the plot failing was a great movie due to dialogue of Jeff and the girl

PS the whole movie I was hoping the girl would shoot Matt damon

Thanks to the eyepatch he wears in that movie, I've been picturing Bridges as Odin. But I think that Eb would be a much better role for him. If I had to pick someone for Odin right now...Ron Perlman.

OR BRIAN BLESSED!

Since the Thor movie didn't do it, someone should. I guess they thought that BRIAN BLESSED as Odin would be too much for any human to handle. And yes, you do have to put BRIAN BLESSED's name in all caps whenever you type it.

On another thread I said I would like to see Joshua Jackson as Dresden

I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes I've had my fair share of tough breaks.
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way.
Take the time, reevaluate it's time to pick up the pieces, go back to square one.
I think it's time for a change.

He can seriously act, pull off badass, be funny as hell.

Yeah. That could go pretty well.

Has anybody been watching The Cape?  I believe Summer Glau was brought up for a specific role and it was shot down on account of her wooden style. With the new evidence I would like to revisit that decision.
