Thomas- Chris Evans
Kincaid- Jason Statham
Lash- Leslie Bibb
Billy- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Nicodemus- Michael C. Hall

I can see these choices.

I like Stathom for Kincaid but he can't drop that accent for the life of him.

I'm afraid I'm totally not seeing Scarlett Johanson as Murphy...she's way too glammy (and tall) and honestly I don't care much for her acting, either. She's pretty for sure and I thought she did a decent job in "The Prestige" with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale but she just isn't Murphy to me.

You might have a point about the glam thing, but she is very short. 5'3 at most.
Also maybe throw some Eva Mendez in there for Susan?

Hmm, maybe... not sure. But, I'm currently re-reading Small Favor and the new season of Dexter starts soon, so I'll think about it while I have both on my mind.

Guh, no. "Perfect casting" includes higher-end acting ability. :D

Mendez. Johanssen hasn't shown me much, but Mendez comes across like she's imitating someone else. YMMV.

I think... I think I'm going to have to support the Ian Somerhalder crowd for Thomas.  I'm sorry, Matt Bomer's just too Pretty Boy.  He's not predatory enough to pull off a vampire.  Charming, yes.  Swashbuckling, yes.  Predatory, no.

Now, I know Ian Somerhalder is already playing a vampire but we can pretend that didn't happen, can't we? He'd need to put in some serious gym time, maybe get with Ryan Reynolds' coach, if he wants to play the guy described as the god of Bowflex, but he's got the rest of the look down pat.

And yes, I know I liked wrestler boy, too, but I know Ian Somerhalder can act the part.  So ... He's my #1 pick, for now.  Wrestler boy gets bumped to #2.

We don't get just one life.  We get as many as we can cram into one lifetime.

I know this thread was done in some form before so if the moderators think it should be shut down - I understand.
I just had a weird thought and wanted to share.  (One of many I have from time to time.  It's an odd and scary place in my head.) ;D

Was thinking that, I know I'm gonna spell it wrong, that Sharlto Copley(District 9) would make a great Butters.
Gel up his hair, put on geekoid glasses and make his clothing slightly too large and rumpled and he'd be great.
And the man can act.

Anna Torv as Ms. Gard.
Jason Statham as Mac.
Morena Baccarin as Lara Raith (okay, okay, she isn't exactly lesser, but still...)

I'm still torn between three great choices for Binder: Mark Sheppard, Tim Roth, and Eddie Izzard would all be excellent in the role.
