Oooh, he's quite delish.
I approve [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/>
Yep, he looks the part. He's got that skinny pointed face that i imagined Ariel having
Yeap *nods grinning*
I had him picked for Ariel after I saw Titus. He's just so creepy in it! But took him off after I figured he'd gotten a bit old for the job...he *is* 30 next year..*sigh* if only he was still as young as those photos. He'd be perfect for the role...
Well, most American films/series have older actors playing much younger characters. Just look at Beverly Hills 90210...
...do we really want it turning out like that, though? [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif" alt=":o" border="0"/> [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
Look at Narnia, Harry Potter - the kids are at least roughly the age they're supposed to be in the books.
And Obernewtyn would not be an Americanised film [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif" alt=":o" border="0"/> Obernewtyn is set in future-Scotland-area! Isobelle's confirmed that to my face!
I would want actors the same age as the characters they were playing. I think we should use unknown actors rather than big-names, as they will distract people from the main story
Yeah I agree with you there Dark One. It would be hard to watch if someone like lol Ben Affleck playing Bryyda
but keep them coming Aras!
Ye gods, Ben Affleck as Brydda *dies laughing*!!
I agree unknowns would be best, but this whole forum is just a game...we can't find images / bios of people who haven't been discovered yet!
Yes, keep them coming, Aras! Sorry, we've kinda cluttered your thread up with talk. Let me know if you want it locked or perhaps start another thread that we can restrict posting in if you just want it to be for your actors.
It may be a game now, but what if someone decides to actually make this? IC would be involved and i'm sure she'd ask us what we think...
Well, we're really not in the loop of who decent unknown actors are. We could probably say "oh, someone *like* Jonathan Rhys Meyers", but not actually help out with casting. If it does happen, I doubt they'll ask the fans, unless Isobelle wants to take an active part in it. I'm just thinking about the numerous books that have been made into movies recently...the authors have a little sway, but not much. They virtually sell the rights off to someone else to do what they please. And I doubt, very much, that a movie producer/director would ask a bunch of internet fans what they thought.
Unless by some great miracle the people who make it are affilliated with us or we can get in contact with them somehow [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/smiley.gif" alt=":)" border="0"/>
If it happens, I will hunt them down...
Lol! Between the vast numbers of members that we have, surely someone must know someone?
I think IC would probably be involved a lot if the films were made (like JK Rowling did with Potter series). She knows about us and comes on here sometimes, so if the producers don't talk to us, she would at least put our ideas forward
He's mine!! He's absoloutely perfect!!! But he needs blonde hair [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
In the Northern Lights movie that's being made Philipm Pullman wanted Nicole Kidman to be Mrs. Coulter and she's been given the part. He also gave the thumbs up for the girl who's playing Lyra. So it does happen to a certain extent, but not often.
It depends entirely on your rights and how you sell them. If you're ever getting published, you want to be careful what kind of contract you sign, because you can sign away your film rights to the publishing company.
If an author owns their own film rights, they get to decide who to sell them too, and can put any stipulations on it that they like: including the right to be involved in casting decisions.
PS. Flit and I were saying just the other day how we should make the Obernewtyn movie one day.
You can trust us.
Or can you?
Oh God, I can just imagine it now, Kayt. The poor actors playing Daffyd and Dameon are going to have to get a restraining order from their own producers. [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
...and what on *earth* would happen to the role of Rushton!!?
...actually, for that matter, I would wholeheartedly approve of whatever you did Kayt [img]http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif" alt=":D" border="0"/>
I think Jonsthan Rhys Meyers is perfect for almost every role in every movie EVER MADE, but I have to agree that I think he's a bit old looking now for Ariel, but it'd be good to see him as someone in it!
With your Ariel, isn't he meant to be blond? That's what I remember and picture.
