Actually, I have no real problem with Reeves as Spike. He looks the part, and Spike is not very demostrative.

Sorry TC i dont mean to troll (that was just meant as a poke to SL)

I do not support Reeves or Cruise in these movies at all

However I do support bale, he looks like what i think nic looks like. After seeing fighter i chose him because he amazed me.

My first choice for nick is Jeffery Donoven AkA Michael from burn notice

Since there's 300 pages in this post, I haven't been able to read them all, so I don't know if it's been said yet, but I vote Anne Hathaway for Lily! Also, I stand by my vote for Hugh Jackman as Harry... he can really pull off the tortured, trying to do the right thing and getting hammered from all sides hero role.
Lara Raith- Kate Beckinsale
Kincaid- Jason Statham
Butters- Ok, I know he's not old enough, but I love Mathew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds for this!
Maeve- Scarlet Johansen
Thomas- I actually don't think he'd look good with the dark hair, but Cam Gigandet, because he does have that rediculously sexy vibe
Murphy- ok, you may wanna bury me in a deep dark hole somewhere, but everytime I think of Murphy, I picture Reese Witherspoon.

Grey Warden, please just stop. It's not funny, it will never be funny. If you're trolling, then you've taken it too far. If you're serious, then you really need to know that most of us do not share your opinons on the skills of certain actors, and it is unlikely that we will ever change our minds.
???
Goodness, you're sure blowing it way out of proportion. As far as I can tell, Grey Warden has posted exactly three times in the past five or six pages (since September). Those three posts were, from what I can tell, in order of post: A joke, a serious suggestion, and telling someone that if they were to watch a movie starring his suggestion that they might change their mind.

To which you immediately start shouting troll, and call him unfunny for something that doesn't appear to be a joke (Tom Cruise post excepted). And "taking it too far"? How so?

Look, I think that Cruise, Bale, and Reeves have all made some good movies. But they are not suited for anything in the Dresden Files. It's bad enough Keanu is apparently being cast as Spike in the live-action Cowboy Bebop movie, we don't need him messing up the Dresden Files too. And Tom Cruise is barely relevant anymore.

Bale's an ok actor. Haven't seen Fighter, but I liked the Prestige. Nevertheless, he's certainly not the right actor for Nicodemus.
Pure opinion. Telling someone, in essence, to shut it because your opinion of several actors is different from theirs is something that I'm pretty sure is frowned upon here.

In short: Calm down and don't go accusing others of trolling simply because you disagree with them.


PS: I'm totally on board with Jeffery Donovan as Nicodemus. In Burn Notice, he can certainly be menacing. Also, I thought he was really good in Changeling.

Yeah, you're right, I overreacted. Grey Warden, I'm sorry for kind of flipping out.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

Someone apologizing on the internet?! Highly irregular.

Congratulations, I award you 807 internet points. Don't spend them all in one place.

Oh I dunno. Nic is described as pretty good-looking. Plus, whenever I hear Nic's voice it's kind of a combination of Donovan and, for some insane reason, Antonio Banderas.

Like... as smooth and pleasant as Banderas but with Donovan's accent and inflections.

Pretty is pretty in my mind.  Personal taste and all that.
Funny, Nic is always British in my mind.

Well, canonically Nic has a slight British accent, but for some reason I just can't imagine it. It just always reverts back to Jeffery Bandares. Or would that be Antonio Donovan? Jantonio Dondares? Anteffery Banovan?

Totally agree with Anthony Hopkins for Nic! Has anyone ever seen the Rite? Hopkins is pure genius in that movie.
