EFU goes to the Movies

So you are making "Escape from the Underdark -the Movie" (with inifinite budget) ... which movie star are you are going to cast as ....

* Your own character? * Another character you admire? * Your favourite NPC?

Samuel L. Jackson as Sheriff Azrus Azzam.

Billy Brassgut - Jack Nicholson Jaric Wettias - Mathew McConahey (didn't spell it right, oh well) Darius Miller - Leonardo DiCaprio (because I hate him. hee hee)

Heath Ledger as Thomas' assistant.

Danny Devito as Mayor Bhast.

My three latests PCs:

Sev -> Helena Bonham Carter Give her pointy ears, black short hair and her past character experience would be perfect for Sev. Realm and Molly -> Christina Ricci Imagine a mute Wednesday Addams with a talking hand puppet. Jacen Pulzyn -> Hayden Christensen Angry young man.

Other PCs that I can think of off the top of my head:

Elrindra Meladon -> Cameron Diaz plus pointy ears. Vilmar Be'tense -> Sergi López i Ayats, The angry fascist from Pan's Labyrinth. It's the rugged face and voice that gets me. Merum Sorrooke -> Dakota Blue Richards would be a good defiant halfling or Dakota Fanning, does the scared little girl thing pretty well. Drin -> Daniel Craig Would need quite a bit of CG work to make Mr. Bond a halfling, but I'd bet he'd still look good in platemail. Drago Copperskin -> Michael Myers Annoying, but funny guy. Albrect von Asch -> Dwayne Johnson No idea way, mostly just because of the brash, bold attitude I guess. Ricco Jones -> Edward Norton Not really sure how this fits either, just imagining him in armour makes me think of a crusade against the abberation. Kyle Fox -> Vin Diesel Ed Harris A young Ed Harris, at least. Morwen Vanomenien (sp?) -> Liv Tyler, just elfy enough. Myria Chessi -> Liza Weil Something about the voice. Nelas Shadowspring -> Def Mos Christ Tucker ELFTOWN! Aleczumberzeil te Esoterotept -> Christopher Walken Sure, he can act... But he still looks like a freaking pale master. Monica Helsh -> Scarlet Johansson She'd just need the shorter hair and she'd be a saucy Spellguard Agent. Breanor Watchever -> Melissa McCarthy Give her some platemail, a warhammer, and some divine magic and you've got yourself a Feanor.

NPCs that... Bah, who am I kidding? Who bothers to interact with NPCS?:

Sergeant Blackbeard -> Geoffrey Rush Captain Barbarossa with shorter, black hair. Norma -> Tress MacNeille (Voice actor) Cyrus -> Gilbert Gottfried The voice is perfect.

Caster13

Cyrus -> Gilbert Gottfried

That.

Would.

Be.

EPIC

I am hoping to cast Clare Danes as Clara Fireheart. It would be her big break after all those B movies.

Clara F

Clare D

The lastest of my PC's would have to be cast as follows:

Connar Marlson = Sean Bean (Because who else could play the surly yet somewhat noble man that rose from the rags to be an heroic soilder than Sharpe himself.... does mean he's a dead man if Orc's attack the city again)

Kaylee Kelm = Jewel Staite (From Firefly for those poor sods amoung you who havnt seen the only reason i dont curse Joss Whedons name to all the hells..... and if you have i did theme most of the character off Kaylee in the series seeing as she rocks)

Past Characters: Ron Perlman as Thorigan and Robert Englund as Nupraptor Tane.

NPC's and such = It be great to see Bruce Campbell as Herald Jafar, just for all the bad one liners and we all know the poor guys the butt of many a joke and who but the Chin could take it all in his stride. Also Aleczumberzeil te Esoterotept played by Christopher Walken gets my vote unless the other high lord of evil Christopher Lee was available.

Hey Does it have to be current actors or can it be retired or deceased actors as well?

These sort of threads are always fun, as it gives others an idea of how you really see your (or their) characters. So I'll play too. :P

My main characters: Chelene Blake - Linda Hamilton with black hair Goddard - Matthew Broderick (when he was younger - think Ladyhawk era)

I kind of like most of the choices others have made so far, actually. But Danny Devito will always be Officer Barkely to me.

And Christopher Walkin as Aleczumberzeil? Perfect! Just the right level of well meaning creepiness.

I'll devote a little more time to this later, but immediately after reading this, I knew who would be playing Lucius Westmore without a doubt.

Mark Wahlberg

I'll add in a few other ideas later. The only immediate thought is that Jack Nicholson would probably make a better Ferius Worn.

Caster13 Aleczumberzeil te Esoterotept -> Christopher Walken
There's really no one else.

But for Sheriff Azrus Azzam, I'd have to go with Lawrence Fishburne

For Wyric Crowshire, I would cast Sean Bean (Boromir from LoTR).

Donald Sutherland for Dr. Profidious Vile

My own character? Nobody's probably ever heard of her, but I picture Ingrid Mordis as an Underdark version of the original bad girl blonde, Babs Payton.

EDIT: I endorse most of Caster13's picks.

I don't know any actors. could someone fish one for Allivarn?

Thomas_Not_very_wise I don't know any actors. could someone fish one for Allivarn?

one of these guys.....

I rolled a 1 on my Knowledge: (Actors) skill check . . .

Any one got an idea on who could play William Snyder?

(Need help with: Mbizi, Megara Therion, and Salina Marshal) Peter O'Toole as Earas Nightstar Anthony Quinn as Worn Richard Burton as Ivandur Reynolt Audrey Tautou as Mylin Gregory Peck as Cog Ippenshur Gene Hackman as Durthag Brighthammer Edward James Olmos as Benito Delgado Alec Guinness as Mandarin Dreagle James Stewart as Philip Meet Viggo Mortensen as Cail Durris (lol) Jack Palance as Tobias Breen Henry Fonda as Shane and Errol Flynn as Laramie Lathae (thank you Ibeholder)

Aside from Viggo/Cail and Quinn/Worn, Morbid and Secutor hit it right on.

Here's an alternate link to Benito Delgado - Edward James Olmos

Salina Marshall - Kate Mara (I think I can find better, given some time.)

Oh yea, and djspectre, that Allivarn was awesome. :o I rarely ACTUALLY laugh out loud at the internet, but that one got me.

Escape From The Underdark, the movie!

Featuring:

That Guy as... Pretty much everyone!

Anything with big knives for fingers is obviously the best choice.

Well, I was sitting in IRC pretending to be asleep, so instead I decided to post this and crash.

Evan Rachel Wood as Myria Chessi.

Edit:: I love the ones right below this XD

I always thought Worn was a little Tom Waits-ish!

Maybe this would be a good depiction for Cyril...

Current:

Jach Tanner - Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters

Old School:

Dell Lannensen - Val Kilmer

Thomas_Not_very_wise I don't know any actors. could someone fish one for Allivarn?

Thomas - Thats a certain Mr Brando . Enjoy :)

And maybe Jerry Orbach can be Rodon Brinson.

Garem Aside from Viggo/Cail and Quinn/Worn, Morbid and Secutor hit it right on.
Give me something better, I stand by my castings (especially Quinn, the lovable giant...).

Took me ten minutes to find this guy on the net. Very underappreciated.

Ulgar Ulgarsson - http://imdb.com/media/rm3246102784/ch0001232

Alecumberzail - Steve Buscemi

Keira Nimessa - Ironically Keira Knightley would probably be best suited to playing her part.

Lerzon - Nobody could play Lerzon's role better than Wesley Snipes. Pure badassery.

Salvador Komero - Matt Damon 'Nuff said.

Sev - It just has to be Charlize Theron

Isovien Liamyn - Kate Beckinsale with darker hair and a shiny shirt!

Any one at all? Really my knowledge of celebrities sucks. I have no clue who can play any of my characters.

EyeOfTheStorm Sev - It just has to be Charlize Theron

Oooh, the hair and look of that picture looks perfect for Sev. I dont know if Theron's played any angry-crazy roles though.

I thought she played an angsty assassin Aeon Flux. But, I'm not too sure about that since I've never seen the movie myself. >_>

There's not a single one of my characters that couldn't be played by the lovely Ellen Page. Except possibly for Pentz...maybe.

Oh god, I don't know, it's all so pointless. I'm so useless at picking actors, I might as well never watch a movie again.

If anyone would think of an actor for Toman in this silly game, you get a cookie! :D :roll:

Madskillsmike If anyone would think of an actor for Toman in this silly game, you get a cookie! :D :roll:

Gary Cooper?

Caster13 Oooh, the hair and look of that picture looks perfect for Sev. I dont know if Theron's played any angry-crazy roles though.

Wasn't Theron the star of "Monster"?

Toman would be played by a young Jeremy Irons.

How about Hugh Laurie as Agent Miller?

Agent Miller doesn't deserve that.

You all know it to be true.

Perhaps so!

Fluffy the great as Illusionary Clown Boss:

Yes. You were pwnt by that and quit your character. Hahaha.

Adelia Tyrell's Hat

Javier Kanthil. Anyone got any better ideas than mine?

Macaulay Culkin as Micky (that looter begger kid in lower)

Squyrl Adelia Tyrell's Hat

I looled.

Cyrus -> Gilbert Gottfried The voice is perfect.

No.

Ben Stiller as Howland for a bit of Fourth Wall destruction.

Looks like him with with less beady eyes.

MithrilDragon
Cyrus -> Gilbert Gottfried The voice is perfect.

No.

How about Joe Pesci?

Rowan Atkinson IS Cyrus. Not Mr Bean of course, but the Blackadder Rowan Atkinson.

For one of my own characters, Quinlan Welles - Mickey Rourke in Angel Heart

Macaulay Culkin as Micky (that looter begger kid in lower)

Heck no! That "kid" is now at least twenty-three, and has been married at least once. Also, he is butt-ugly as an adult. Ever wonder why you never see him in movies anymore? Hmmm?

Emma the Lovable Designer/Bard - Whoever this weirdo is http://imdb.com/photo_galleries/2008/gram_08-rm2244646400

As for Jeremy Irons... YES! I'd let him play any of my characters, and most that I haven't made yet. So awesome...

Crazy Icelandic popstar anyone?

Rabbit?

kingcod Crazy Icelandic popstar anyone?

"Ahh! After 10,000 years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!"

lol rita

Looked at Melissa McCarthy - not my concept for Breena. Too young, too perky.

Breena Watchever the dwarf priestess - Barbara Edwards, wife of former candidate John Edwards.

Not sure why that popped up, but she is pretty short. :)

Secutor and Errol Flynn as Laramie Lathae (thank you Ibeholder)
[gives a start, as if awakened from a deep slumber]

Huh? Oh, you are most welcome. :)

Gillian Anderson (with filed teeth no less!) as Mbizi Ray Winstone as Maugh Stoneclad

Fetch - Nicolas Cage

The other two are just really hard to come up with, since I know very few actors!

Xavier Elapidae

kingcod Crazy Icelandic popstar anyone?

Rabbit?

No, this should be for the character of Socks!!

Jamie Bell as Tarnis Westwind (can anyone see the uncanny resemblence?)

Chow Yun Fat as Garen

And I agree with Daniel Craig as Drin

Not sure yet about Arthan Dominicus or Drago "Copper" Copperskin

Harrison Ford as Hans Marcov, Ubel's Visionary.

SEWER TOWN

Ron Perlman as Headmaster Frank Dederich

I was wondering when somebody was going to pull Ron Perlman.

Val Kilmer as Kyle Fox,

I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Brian Blessed as Snorri Gotrekson.

and Finally Jack Nicholson to play Jack Smillie

Mikhail The Heretic Val Kilmer as Kyle Fox,

... and yet .... there is Patrick Stewart

Kingcod how could you.... you bring shame on our noble lord Stewart with such talk. Besides we all know Kyle would never be allowed to get old enough to have Patrick Stewart play him. As for Val Kilmer, could see that working if he played the Willow angle. Then again i dont know if i could stomach seeing the poetry flowing at clara from Kyle.

"You are my sun, my moon, my starlite night. Without you i dwell in darkness...."

The Horror, its almost too much.

On a side note, having just seen the new Rambo movie (which rocks by the way and i dont even like the other ones) Having Connar retired he'd now be played by Sly himself, just for the old soilder who dosnt want to go back to the fight but will when war comes a calling. Go see it if you are old enought to remember the glory of the 80's action movie, and if not go see it anyway and gaze in hallowed joy on the blood soaked madness that is Rambo.

I don't know actors/celebrities, someone pick out a good one for Malcer.

Serrey Windstone: A little like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Or Banon from Final Fantasy 3.

David Bowie as Jacelyn Cheval

That man scares me. As for Stewart and Fox, yes. If Kyle ever makes it to that age, yes. It would be perfect.

Ben Affleck as Dercius Gray

Cate Blanchett as Elwing Calaenen.
