Okay, you're a Hollywood producer and money is no option. Which Forgotten Realms book/trilogy would you produce as a movie and who would you cast in the lead roles?

I would want to film what WoTC has renamed the "Starlight and Shadows" trilogy - the three Elaine Cunningham books "Elfshadow," "Elfsong" and "Silver Shadows" from the Harpers series.

Cast:
Danilo Thann - Carey Elwes
Arilyn Moonblade - Milla Jovovich
Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun - Christopher Lee
Eliath Craulnober - Orlando Bloom (*cough* typecast... so sue me *grin*)
Kymil Nimesin - Tom Felton

Two trilogies I suppose, however neither of them are finished.

first there's the Erevis Cale trilogy which only has "Twilight Falling" out so far..

Then I'd love to see a movie version of "Servant of the Shard" with a following up Trilogy of Jarlaxle and Artemis when R.A. Salvatore gets finishes his Hunter's blades trilogy. Luckily the man pumps books out so fast that I may only have a few years to wait for that.

as for casting for the Erevis Cale trilogy,

Erevis Cale - An alive, young, Gregory Peck
Drasek Riven - Christopher Walken
Jak Fleet - Dominic Monaghan

..Meh, hard to think up an entire cast when only the first book is out.

Tough choice... I can't get past 2 of them... The Elminster series just to see if they could be true to the books, and all the special effects they'd need... and of course The Icewind Dale Trilogy.. I would like for all the actors to be newcomers, except for Drizzt... Wesley Snipes, of course!!!

Probably my favorite book in F.R. Azure Bonds, I would love to see how the effects for Mist pan out, in particular

Alias- Jessica Alba, of the cancelled tv show, "Dark Angel"
Elminster- Christofer Lambert does a cameo
Dragonbait-The same guy that played Gollum in LOTR(he did spectacular voic-effects for him, also physical acting)
Finder Wyvernspur-Sean Connery

I have nothing to add to this, except to say Christopher Lambert as Elminster would be absolutely perfect. The voice itself is perfect for the character.

Lukian · Post by **Lukian** » Sun Dec 14, 2003 10:58 pm

Sean Connery is the greatest actor of all time.

Christopher Lambert as Elminster???

Sean Connery would be great as Elminster, and I could so see Christopher Lee as Kelben.

Hmmm, since I will guiltily admit that I haven't actually read FR in forever, I'll say the Avatar Trilogy.

Cast:

Midnight: Famke Jansenn
Kelemvor: Sean Bean
Cyric: Hugh Jackman
Adon: Ewan McGregor
Bane: Christopher Lee
Mystra: Monica Belucci (For the few minutes before Helm rocks her world)
Torm: Viggo Mortensen

Aaaaah! Aaaaah!

*hops up and down excitedly*

I would definitely go to see that, Jadom... ever since the first Lord of the Rings movie, Christopher Lee is my favorite actor of all time for those powerful evil roles.

Isaldur · Post by **Isaldur** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 1:20 am

I could see Christopher Lee as a Mykrul, but Bane isn't a pruned old man

Valens · Post by **Valens** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 8:15 pm

Drizzt Do'Urden: Phil LaMarr. He's got the passion needed to play Drizzt.
Bruenor Battlehammer: John-Rhys Davies. He did great in LOTR.
Wulfgar: Wrestler Triple H. Don't know his name. He's got the brawn.
Catti'brie: Actually, I think Julia Stiles could do this. Ref: Mona Lisa Smile
Regis: The guy who played Samwise.

Sune · Post by **Sune** » Thu Dec 18, 2003 11:30 pm

The guy who plays Samwise is Sean Astin, he was the main character "Mikey" in 'The Goonies.'

And I am thinking Heath Ledger (A Knights' Tale) for Adon...

Mmmmmmmmm Heath Ledger.

Azure Bonds

Alias: Me, in a wig
Dragonbait: Me, in a costume
Finder: Me, in another costume
Elminster: Me, in a cardigan and trackiedacks to get the old man look just right
Olive: Me, in a different wig

Mmmm. Money.

What??? Hey, I'd go see it!

Ilissa · Post by **Ilissa** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 2:55 am

Though I think you would be more convincing if you wore long socks and sandals

Just letting everybody know that Fireworks Television is in the planning stages of a Forgotten Realms TV show. The show is to last one hour, and will contain various characters from the books.

If anybody finds out more, go ahead and post. Not to many people I can think of who will try and stop you.

Elminster: Ian McKellan
He says his one regret is that he took these powerful wizard roles far too late in life...he's now the most powerful wizard in LoTR, Harry Potter, and the most powerful mutant in X-men...I figure, he does FR, that'll cover most of the major fantasy novels in the genre and make his power unequalled through the lands...he'll be a living god!
muahahaHAHAHAHHA!

Who is he in Harry Potter?

Llanthyr · Post by **Llanthyr** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 10:03 am

There's always the Simbul to hold him back. I think I'll pick the crow outside my window to act as Simbul.

Paskry · Post by **Paskry** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 8:52 pm

Granel I believe he plays Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Might be wrong though...
