Casting Call for the EC movie

I'm not sure what young actor could pull off Minis...

But 2nd Amitzas should be played by what's his name...Daniel Craig, the current James Bond... with Aitzas length hair I think.

Kurkas could possibly be played by Paul Guilfoyle.

Inensa by Marg Helgenberger.

I was thinking about Minis

...and who could play him also, and am likewise stumped, in part because he doesn't look like a movie star, a big obstacle for a character when you're casting. Part of the problem also is that at the start, he needs a child actor, and then he's growing up as the book progresses. That challenge is there for Chevenga, too.

I can see an exquisitely icy and yet deeply vulnerable Inensa being played by... Meryl Streep. Just try to tell me she wouldn't do an awesome job.

We haven't cast Edilson Nascimento as Chevenga because he's too baby-faced, but we've definitely cast him as Gannara. Assuming he can act.

I thought of Angelina Jolie with a bleach job as Kyriala -- but only if she can play an uptight female... can she?

Seeing shots of Daniel Craig, I think he's wasted on 2nd Amitzas. He looks too noble. I'd cast him as Toras Meneken. Readers: Toras has a cameo in asa kraiya but will figure more importantly later in The Philosopher in Arms and is a main character in an upcoming Shirley/Karen collab, The Games.

Emma whatshername that plays

Emma whatshername that plays Hermione has a young pretty face that might work for Kyriala. Or a much younger Keira Knightley.

A significantly aged Cate Blanchett for Binshala? She pulled off immortal as Galadriel, I dunno how she'd do as arthritic.

Gah, there's only so many blondes out there. You're gonna need a lot of bleaching and hair extensions to cast EC with all those darn Aitzas running around.

Er, one of the Jonas brothers for Gannara? They've all got curly brown hair, don't they?

Cate?

Yes I think she could pull off Binshala for sure...

And yes the casting for Toras is now right as far as I'm concerned.

How about a blond, long-haired Hugo Weaving for 2nd Amitzas?

Send the Mahid Maxims to Hugo now

ZOMG YES!!!!!!! Hugo Weaving would be perfect! Go look at his wikipedia page, there's a mostly blonde shaggy haired pic of him right there that looks pretty close.

I'll never forget the moment in the first LoTR movie when Frodo wakes up in Rivendell with Hugo's face looming over him. I was instantly creeped out, although it took me a minute to figure out why *Elrond* was scaring the crap out of me. Agent Smith circa the 3rd Matrix movie when he's gone a bit batty is very close to what 2nd Amitzas needs.

Hugo W

I LOVED him in Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The man has RANGE. And he can even project through a mask! [in V]
