I dunno. The HBO miniseries or whatever of A Game Of Thrones looks ok, based on all the previews. I still think the best way to adapt the Dresden Files would be as animated series of some sort. A serious one, mind you. Animated by the people behind Batman the Animated Series or something. That way we wouldn't have to worry about getting actors who look like the characters, just sound like them.

I'd buy animation but only if they're doing full scale computer animation - not
Saturday morning kiddie animation.

I really don't think ramping up the "adult content" would be the best approach to a (hypothetical) Dresden series.  The appeal is in the characters and storytelling, and they can stand on their own without gratuitous footage of hot young people getting their freak on.

The Dresden fans think this way - problem is - that's NOT the way HBO would think.  Magic - good, Sex - better,
MAGICAL SEX - INSTANT RATINGS WIN!!!

So we've got about 3 months before HBO starts adapting the Anita Blake series, then?

I would not be surprised if they're looking at other magical/fantasy properties including the Anita Blake series.
Frankly they'd do better with Briggs - Mercedes Thompson series but that's just my opinion.

Oh, I keep forgetting to mention -- Lara is Angelina Jolie. :)

I actually like this.  She can do it with ease, methinks.

Just don't cast John Voight as Papa Raith.

Thomas as surfer boy? No. ;)

Wrong coloring, anyway. Matt Bomer, baby. :D

This isn't bad for when we first see him but later not so much.

Before Dark Night, I would have said the same about Heath Ledger.  Now it would be interesting.  Kinda makes me Im curious if mcconaughey could do Dark.  He's done serious pretty well before (big fan of A Time to Kill, for example)  but the monster within might be a bit of a stretch for him.

True, but we've already got the perfect Thomas-Matt Bomer.

Also, after seeing the poster for Hobo With A Shotgun, I'm even more convinced that Rutger Hauer should be Odin.
