I felt Zachary Quinto could pull off both the physical and character aspects of Harry. He's not precisely the right look but pretty firmly in the ballpark with the sort of a tall guy with a rather sinister look about him.

Question: Would you like her as Lara or Madeleine?

Wow, this is a long thread, lol, if I read all of it I could be here for days. Glad to find it here, though, because I actually registered to ask if anyone had heard of Benedict Cumberbatch and thought he could play Thomas? I just came across this thing on youtube of him reading "Ode to a Nightengale" and... well, listen for yourself, ladies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64eonMsecAA
I just think that voice needs to be Thomas. And he's pretty, too. He has dark hair in Sherlock, if anyone has seen that, and it looks good on him. With those eyes and those cheekbones... Am I wrong, here?

Ok so I saw xmen first class a little while ago, but it stuck me how creepily evil Kevin Bacon's character is (...ummm Sebastian Shaw, had to look that up). But it just reminded me so much of Nicodemus , that practical evil. Then again he plays a few creepy characters does'nt he?

And I said before , from seeing the promotional pics of the same movie, This guy - http://www.imdb.com/media/rm20232448/nm1682733 - For Rameirez.

I was thinking a Tricia Helfer/Jeri Ryan combo as Mab/Titania.
That's an interesting idea. I personally like Juliet Landau for Mab, but this is a pretty good idea.

I always pictured Lara as a brunnette.
That might be because she's described as such...  ;)


(I would still also submit Milla for the role without hesitation.)

NO, you're not wrong, I've actually thought the same thing!





Holy gods, though, that reading... Yeah. Um, thank you for that.

My keyboard is just fine, thanks for your concern  :P

I'm hoping it'll be on itunes, which tends to be more reasonable than overseas DVD sets. (Being Human for $11-$14 instead of $30, for example.)
