Well I have a few ideas that just might fit the bill.

Minsc- Richard Moll (the tall bald guy from nightcourt tv show)
<font color="yellow">That works for me. Much better fit. He has the right size and physical characteristics AND he's done some decent acting in the Highlander series.</font>

Keldorn- I agree with Sean Connery

Imoen- Mila Jovavich (from The Messenger)
<font color="yellow">Hmmm...never heard of her or The Messenger.</font>

Viconia- I agree with Catherine Zeta Jones

Anomen- Billy Zane (he's got a pretty boy look, heh)
<font color="yellow">That's a good choice also.</font>

Edwin- Gary Oldman (he's got class)
<font color="yellow">What has he played in? I can't picture who he is.</font>

Valygar- Laurence Fishburne would make a better Valygar than Wesley Snipes, IMPO, but this is a "who knows" for me
<font color="yellow">Both are good choices. Wesley did the "dreadlock" look in U.S. Marshalls and he would be much better at the sword play. Still, Fishburne isn't a bad choice either.</font>

Mazzy- Tina Turner??? What are you smoking my good man?
<font color="yellow">She's the only one I can think of with the right hair. She did pretty good in Beyond Thunderdome, and LOTR showed how to get around the "height" problem. Still, I admit this is a weak choice...just couldn't come up with anything better.</font>

Now to complete the list....

Aerie - Bridgett Fonda.
Sorry, <font color="lime">Glorfindel</font>, but I'm not familiar with Poison (except for the Rock group). Is it a movie or TV series?

Yoshimo - Jackie Chan (I agree with <font color="lime">Glorfindel</font>, he's the most obvious choice. He's also the only one I could think of for this role).

Sarevok - Again, I can't think of the guys name...but he played the fighter/enforcer type for Jeremy Irons in the Dungeons & Dragon movie. He also played the head terrorist in Passenger 57, starring Wesley Snipes.

Wasn't that the same guy that played 'the mummy'?

I like the Famke Jansen as Imoen idea! She DOES bear an uncanny resemblance, and she'd probably do a decent job with the character, but I have no idea as to Jaheira. Somebody said Catherine Zeta Jones, but I'll disagree with that one. She seems MUCH more suited to Viconia, in terms of character. You could also get John Malcovich as Irenicus (I can imagine that he'd do the "Genius - but - completely - insane" bad guy extremely well!). The Danny DeVito as Jan Jansen...that would be funny as hell, but I really can't imagine a gnome with a Jersey accent :D !

Cerek the Barbaric 04-01-2002 02:25 PM

It was I who suggested Catherine Zeta Jones as Jaheira and Halle Berry as Viconia, but since the popular opinion seems to have Catherine as Viconia, I'll gladly switch Halle over to Jaheira.

I LOVE the idea of Malkolvich as Irenicus (wish I would've thought that).

I also suggested DeVito as Jan Jansenn. He can "lose" the accent when he needs to and he did a good job as the Penguin in the second Batman movie....Besides, do you know any other male actors that have the natural height of a gnome?

Ryndel 04-01-2002 06:50 PM

I'm just fooling around, Cerek. DeVito would make a pretty good Jan, to be truthful! :D

shadowhound 04-01-2002 07:49 PM

Jan - DeNiro he is short, and i would like to see him as a thief

Virconia - Catherine Zeta Jones yep thats it

Anomen - i would just love to see Oliver Platt try that role

Haer' Dalis - Ewan McGregor he did well in Moulan Rouge

Arie - Denise Richards she might need her hair dyed, but she came to mind

Minsc - Arnold Shcwartzernegger (i know THAT is spelled wrong) He is big and probably dumb enough

Edwin - Jim Carrey he is funny and can do that sarcasting thing well

Keldorn - Sean Connery

Velgar - Wesley Snipes

Nalia - Drew Barrymore

Imoen - i cant think of anyone right now, might come back later

Cernd - The question is, should he be in any movie ??? Heath Ledger with a hair Dye

Yoshimo - Jackie Chan yeah well why not

Jahiera - Sara Michelle Galler (the buffy fans are going to kill me for not being able to spell)

Mazzy - Lucy Lovett (or whatever the chick who played Zena's name is)

Iranicus - Nicolas Cage

Bohdi - nothing coming to me here
-----------------------------------
if we include TOB

Saverock - Stone Cold Steve Austen big bald and evil looking plus he wrestles so he can act [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color="teal"> Posinon is a movie Serek.. not a very good 1 btw... but neway... I saw it on Austar the other day... it was made in bout '99
SH: Nicholas Cage would KICK as Irenicus :D </font>

Tancred 04-02-2002 07:58 PM

A few old ideas from some similar threads in the past saw Alyson Hannigan as Imoen, Angelina Jolie as Bodhi, David Warner himself (Irenicus' voice) as Irenicus... the list goes on and on, into the past.

A few that came to my mind while playing the game included Richard E. Grant as Saemon Havarian, Pierce Brosnan as Aran Linvail and Patrick Stewart as the rogue Harper, Galvarey...

Clancy Brown (The Kurgan from Highlander 1) as Sarevok. Anyone that has seen the opening battle scene with the Kurgan smashing through the Scots with his massive sword and hearing his brutal grunts and yells as he does so will have to agree (who cares if he isn't black, this is the age of political correctness and equal opportunity).
