I know it would never happen but if they were to make Movie(s) about SE writings who would you want cast as our favorite characters


example

The Rock as Trotts
(he wouldnt talk much)

who would you pick to be QuickBen, Kalam, Karsa, Whiskeyjack, Fiddler, Apsalar and all the others?

I'm sure 've had tons of these threads, but I'll leave someone else to find a link if they can.

A lot of movie talk was made in the Chain of Dogs thread:http://malazanworld....hread.php?t=329

Sorry would have to be played by a relatively young actor seeing as she's not much older than 15 in GotM.

Kalam could be that black guy who's playing Snake Eyes in the new G.I.Joe film.
Whiskey Jack could be Russel Crow.
Kallor could be Amand Arsante.
Quick Ben is tough, I can't come up with a black actor that fits Quicks size and personality.

Years ago I suggested Christopher Lee as Kallor. Someone else suggested Christopher Walken. Great options, both of them.

I was sure he was black. It's such a black name... Ray Park :D

What an awfull idea. Then we'd have the reverse of the scene in MoI where Rath'Burn snaps her wrists trying to lift the hammer, as Brood would totally crumble if he had to lift more than a six-pack.

I've made my two undeniably perfect casting decisions in the Chain of Dogs thread:D :

Dujek - That russian dude from Stigmata and Eyes Wide Shut
Kalam - Mr Eko from Lost, also he plays a badass swordsman in The Mummy Returns, so we know he's got the skills.

Shamefully, I cant remember if Duiker is black or not, but if he is, Morgan Freeman, clearly. The whole wise old narrator thing fits perfectly.

I assume you mean that Serbian dude, Rade Serbedzija, who always plays Russian dudes in Hollywood movies... :D

That'd be him. He's also in Shooter as the Russian guy. :p

It was all Eastern block when I was born, I stand by my right to label them such. :D :p

I was thinking Zheng Zhyi- you know, the one from House of Flying Daggers and all that.

After all, we know she's Itko Kanese (Oriental), pretty, and has more martial arts skills than you could shake a Sai at- so she fits the bill nicely.

Erikson says that sorry is Asian looking, so I'd cast the new actress who was in Forbidden Kingdom Yifei Liu.

Yeah she would work too, although with some proper make-up it wouldn't be too hard to make Summer look asian I think.

I'd like to see Will Smith play QB. You could find other actors who are closer to what QB looks like but, as QB spends a lot of time with Kalam and the rest of time basically kicking ass I think Will is a good choice.

I think the toughest cast would be Shadowthrone--who could pull off his deviously brilliant and wildly irrational behavior convincingly?

Jack Nicholson as Shadowthrone.

Arnold as Brood, haha! That would be great, if he was in shape.

Im pretty sure there'd be some minor problems if they had Jack Nicholson to play ST, they'd have to black him up for a start, which wouldnt go down too well. This is Malazan Book of the Fallen, not Minstrel Book of the Fallen. :D

For some reason the only person I can see playing Kruppe is Johnny Depp, I know he'd have to shrink in height and gain a lot of weight but whenever I think of Kruppe's mannerisms I think Depp.
