Michael needs to be someone big, hard, and who looks like a dad.  I think that last lets Sorbo out (not to mention age).  How about Colin Ferguson from Eureka?

I like that idea. He's a spot on actor too. He'd have to buff up for the role (unless the movie were post small favor), but I could definately see that.

Who should play Nicodemus?

Anthony Hopkins
Mark Sheppard
Vin Diesel

In that order.

I think Kevin Spacey is a fabulous actor. He'd steal the scene as Binder or any other minor character, but I'm not sure which major character he'd be best at, altho I'd lean toward The Merlin. KS can be smarmy and sneaky and sincere in a heartbeat.

I think Vin Diesel should play Mac, because then he wouldn't have to talk.

In that order.

How's that work, exactly?
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

Have you seen Find Me Guilty? Vin is actually a really good actor.

Yeah, but he will have to make like 10 more good ones to balance it all out.

Just off the top of my head:

Fast and the Furious (and any incarnations)
The Pacifier
Chronicles of Riddick (had potential tho)
Tripl X, or XXX
Babylon A.D. (again, I liked the theme, the movie not so much)

Movies I liked him in:
Saving Private Ryan
Boiler Room
Pitch Black

A bit off topic, but I am disappointed that my pick for Ivy is going to be in the american remake of Let the Right One In.

The original Norwegian film was so raved about that I watched it soon after it's release about 2 years ago, and I don't get it, why the hell is this movie popular!?! It was about as slow and boring as watching paint dry.

Is it the premise?

I wish someone would explain why this movie is awesome??

Why is it getting an american adaptation?? it was obviously popular enough for that.

ARGH!!!!!!

Oh well, maybe this will show Chloe Moretz acting versatility.

I think this will show off a side of her that is more Ivy like.

Michael needs to be someone you trust instantly.
Powerful but NOT a bodybuilder.
A good man.  A simple description but not always easy to find.
My Uncle was a good man, sadly we lost him this year.

May I just point out that I liked Riddick (all of them) and The Pacifier.  But Vin as Nic was more of a joke than anything.
