Um, okay, wow. Apparently, we have different ideas in mind of movie casting, particularly if they're basing the movies directly off the books. Unlikely, but still. My apologies if my ideas seem to be worthless to you.

Oh, and as for Angelina Jolie for Gard? That deserves a big honking no.

Good night.

Tessa was in what one book. maybe you could get someone good but i wouldn't waste it on a character. Jolie strikes me as a Bianca anyway

Nice! I'm not sure if she can act (honestly, I haven't seen her in much) but looks wise she's a 100 percent match in my eyes.  :)

Lol! I can't really speak for that, either. All I know is that, as a woman, she's the person I'd choose to look like if I were doing some kind of body swap. Minus all the tattoos, though.

Just finished re-reading Changes for about the 4th time last night :), and the description Harry gives of the Red King made me think of Tom Cruise for some reason. 5'3" / 5'4", long black hair, looks and acts insane  ;D

And I think we need to start casting for Rudy ;)

Sorry Grey Warden, did not mean to stomp on you.
Since Gard is, basically, a Valkyrie - she should be built somewhat more solidly than Jolie.
She doesn't have to be a Wagnerian Brunhilde size but not rail thin either.
You need to believe this woman can wield a weapon and wield it lethally.

I can see that.

Angelina Jolie could make a really good Bianca.

I originally pictured Jolie as maybe Lash or Mab.

But then I settled on M Belluci for Mab.

And I decided Lash should be more subtly beautiful like Kate Mara.

But I already have Kate Mara pegged as a Justine.

Last night there was nothing on tv except Mercy, which I found more interesting than writing my History paper, and it struck me that Taylor Schilling, if she were shorter, could totally play Murphy. What do you think?

http://img.clevvertv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/taylor-schilling.jpg

Somebody please ask Jim in the next Q&A? (since I probably won't ever get to): Murphy's role in the story, has it been planned since the beginning or has it evolved naturally over the course of the series? Is her future planned now?

A little young looking, otherwise about what I would picture.
