  Hi guys!!!
  
  Here are some cast ideas of mine, with input from my +1 (he's partway through Ashling), some of which I ignored...
  
  I've gone primarily for look, so there's a lot of Americans. But since this cast will never happen anyway, never mind!
  
  Elspeth
  What about Kat Dennings?
  
  ~Link~
  
  She's American, and 25. I've never seen her act, but the LOOK is perfect. She has Elspeth's face for me. She's interesting looking, but not exactly pretty in a traditional way. Elspeth was never the prettiest girl at Obernewtyn to me.
  You can't tell from this photo, but she is bizarrely proportioned though. She's apparently one of the closest real life women to Barbie's shape... so that's a bit wrong.
  
  Rushton
  
  When +1 showed me this picture, I laughed and laughed. This is Rushton to me! And he is actually a very good actor, so that wouldn't be a problem.
  
  Ladies and gents, I give you:
  
  *drumroll*
  
  ~Link~
  
  JARED LETO!!! This is first book Rushton, standing out on the farms looking all manly and giving Elf strange feelings inside.
  
  Matty
  Has anyone heard of Jim Sturgess? He's in Across the Universe. I think he looks like Matthew. He's 33, which is a little old, but look at this cutey face!
  
  ~Link~
  
  He's saying "Pick Me!!! i'D BE THE BESTEST MATTY!!!"
  
  Kella
  I have a massive thing for Kella, who is a blonde girl with a cutey round face. You know who else is blonde with a cutey round face who I totally adore? Amanda Bynes.
  
  ~Link~
  
  Probably not right for the part at all, but she looks right. She's got something in her eyes in this photo which particularly reminds me of Kella.
  
  Swallow
  The day I saw The Mummy, my mind was made up. I will not be moved. Oded Fehr is the only Swallow.
  
  ~Link~
  
  Dragon
  Elle Fanning is Dakota's little sister. She is the cutest cutey muffin who was ever as cute as a cutey! And she is a brilliant actress, better than her sister in my opinion. Here she is aged 9, with reddish hair:
  ~Link~
  
  And here is Cutey McCuteyson this year, aged 13 (but Marc Jacobs have made her look a little older)
  ~Link~
  
  Put red hair on that and BAM! One dragon!!!
  
  And that's my cast so far...
  
  EDIT: Oh wait!!! You CAN put red hair on her, with help from the someone who likes photoshopping. Thanks Plus 1!!!
  
  ~Link~
  
  We couldn't remember if her eyes were blue or green, so one of each! Does anyone remember?

  Oh my god!! I have always seen Oded Fehr as Swallow as well :O He is so brilliant in the Mummy, I think he'd make such an awesome Swallow :D

  To me, Jared Leto is too 'pretty boy' for Rushton :P
  
  I imagine dark features, and pallid pale skin. Icy vibe. More 'brooding and absorbed in own thoughts' vibe. Of course, the actor would be acting... but i'm one of those people who think that a persons "look" and how they carry themselves do come across on the big screen, and that effects the persona they embody. I imagine more European features, if you know what I mean.
  
  I like your dragon though! I imagined Elle Fanning for something else too.... I thought about whether she could play Glynn Flanders (from IC's Legendsong saga) when she's a little older.

  Actually, I take some of that back... after going through some of his pics, Jared Leto WITHOUT eye liner, could be alright! of course, he is a little old.
  
  
  
  I just realised that I pictured Rushton as having more of a "boyish" face, than a manly one (even as he ages). Of course, boyish in a brooding way. Not that Jared doesn't disqualify from this, he does have a boyish face.
  
  More this...
  
  ^ though he is quite pretty, aint he? I realised if there's going to be an actor to get Rushton right, the most important thing is to capture his body language and facial expressions (the frown when thinking, the solemness, the closed off body language etc). The guy above has too much of a smirk. Jared does the brooding look better. I'll watch out for an actor who I think has the right eyebrows :D

  I reckon a young Christian Bale could've done an ok job of Rushton
  
  
  
  Unfortunately I don't have a memory bank of European actors.

  Hey Synergy, it's a good idea to try to avoid double posting. Instead, if no one else has posted and it's just been a few minutes since your last post, it's preferable to edit your previous post.
  You can do this by clicking on the button in the top right corner of your post that looks like a white scroll with a pencil in front of it. It's between the report button and the quote button :)
