Vadderung/Odin/Kringle:







(First choice was Kris Kristofferson, but recent photos of him suggest he'd be too old for Vadderung, unless makeup and maybe CGI could fix him up sufficiently).

Come not between the Nazgul and his prey, or he will not slay thee in thy turn.  He will bear thee away to the Houses of Lamentation, beyond all Darkness, where thy living flesh shall be devoured and thy shriveled mind left naked before the Lidless Eye.

This is really sad, but I have a whole Google Doc devoted to this. There are several gaps, but here’s who I have so far. They’re behind spoilers because I’ve embedded a ton of images.

Ooh, Denarian, I love your picks for the White Council. Plus George Takei as Shiro. Awesome. Plus, I've also always seen Josh Hutcherson (or Daniel Radcliffe) as Daniel Carpenter. Emma Stone would make a great Lily. And Laverne Cox - YES! And your pick for Inari is great, too.

Bilal - that's Geoff Bridges you're casting as Donar/Odin, right? Awesomely appropriate pics.

Griff - that guy would be perfect as Nicky.
Carlos is a planarian.  This is quite efficient as, if he is ever bisected during a fight, there will be two of him.

You are a good person. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Not even yourself.
JB, TC

Yeah, I meant that Kris K was my first choice, but in recent photos I found of him he seems to have aged to where he's no longer appropriate to the role.  Jeff Bridges was always my second choice.  Now promoted to first.  They need to hurry up and make the damned movies or he'll be too old, too.

Lupita Nyong'o as the Angel of Death in GS (always envisioned her for the part):

Lord Hern/the Erl Koenig (will require some makeup/prosthesis, but he's been there, done that):

No Idris Elba for Erlking?

Manu Bennett is my current as Elrking



I dont have a good Sanya, ever since Michael Duncan Clark passed away :'(





It is unavoidable that James Marsters MUST be cast as something, he deserves to be involved.  I Vote him as Nicodemus; he is the perfect build and tone, so long as he's not a bleach blond.

Erl and Sanya are negotiable, but I can't visualize Rawlins as anyone else but Mr. Hudson.  No more than I can visualize a clean-shaven Sanya.

Vadderung/Odin/Kringle:

(click to show/hide)

(First choice was Kris Kristofferson, but recent photos of him suggest he'd be too old for Vadderung, unless makeup and maybe CGI could fix him up sufficiently).
See, for me Ebenezar was always a toss-up between Jeff here, and Tommy Lee Jones. Now I’m starting to see Jeff as Vadderung. Dammit, stop that! If we could somehow put Patrick Stewart’s voice and personality inside Jeff Bridges… guh, now I’m conflicted.

Ooh, he’s perfect! I had Michael Shannon but yours is so much better.
Here’s my pick for Carmichael:

Ooh, Denarian, I love your picks for the White Council. Plus George Takei as Shiro. Awesome. Plus, I've also always seen Josh Hutcherson (or Daniel Radcliffe) as Daniel Carpenter. Emma Stone would make a great Lily. And Laverne Cox - YES! And your pick for Inari is great, too.
Thank you!
I freaking love Laverne Cox and am currently calculating how to get to the parallel reality where she was cast as Wonder Woman. ;D Inari was kind of last minute but all the others you just mentioned clicked into place right away. Like I never saw anyone else but Malkovich as LaFortier, or Nichols as Martha Liberty. Josh Hutcherson I immediately thought of as Daniel Carpenter, which is weird because I’m not even a big Hunger Games fan. Takei as Shiro seemed odd at first, until I remembered Sulu was a fencer. And George Takei is the coolest, fittest older Japanese man I can imagine.

Also, can I just say how impressed I am with the members of this forum that nobody complained about my choice for Billy?

Billy? I have zero problem with that choice. I wouldn't back some others, though, but I share same.

He just slotted into place. Michael B. Jordan is the one thing I’m looking forward to about the new F4 movie.

I’m still utterly stuck for Butters and Bianca though. :(

I picked Michael Shannon either for Agent Tilly or Fr. Roarke Douglas.  Wish I could agree with your commendation of forum participants for not complaining about your choice for Billy Borden, but when I suggested Will Smith for Harry the villagers gathered with their torches and pitchforks.  Despite the fact JB himself made the same call.

PS: Pat Morita woulda been my pick for Shiro, if he was still living (may Allah have Mercy on him).
