KALAM! yes...if they wanted to pay that much and actually have him do it but im sure they could get others to fit him better? poor little rocky

[Tiste Simeon]

I like that twelve feet stick. I want one. I have read the Earthsea Quartet a couple of times. The first two books are fairly good quality, the third is OK, and in the fourth nothing actually happens. It is just boring.

[Tiste Simeon]

Hmm... Patch's definition of "soon"?? Well knowing him, he could keep dangling the "soon" in front of our hungry and deprived noses to keep us drooling indefinitely!

[Kallor]

soon (according to patch): when my version of the script is done...the first draft of one version is done, but there's mine yet to finish...

@tiste
...how can i not tease when you leave these invitations?

[Hume]

The Rock only because Kalam is continuenly described as being a Big guy and because the rock is also a bit dark skinned.

OR Wesley snipes because he's moderately big and much more to the right skin colour.


Then again they both might be too much of 'big' name actors for this.

[Tiste Simeon]

Patch hasn't posted for a while... which means there are hold ups... which means he is scared of our anger...
*lights torch to go and find patch*

John Williams is like THE film music guy. Schindlers List anyone?

Thats what I was trying to tell them... gave up after a while though

[RaZjInSaR]

ty tiste! i would like that greatly and i shall now fully support ur invasion....!! *cough* i mean no...how could u possibly do such a thing as that?! *cough*
still waiting 2 c information on the apparent movie!

[Mezla PigDog]

Yep, that's Earthsea. There are 4 in the series and some short stories. It was my favourite book when I was a kid. The miniseries was on tv last Easter. I was so excited but it was absolutely appalling.

Coltaine was tall, but i dont recall him described as being huge.

Eldered - any reason for the two posts? I can delete one if you want.

Tiste- that would be great! Delete the second one please!!
And on Kingdom of Heaven, don't get me going on that, the best part was the fight in the forest, after that the flick headed towards the first rim of the toilet bowl.
Must focus! Focus! Try and focus on helping Patch.
Any suggestions you guys have as to what battles from DG to have within the film? Personally I wish they could have a bit of all of 'em, but budgets and what-not will probably say otherwise.

[Kallor]

wes studi is a great actor and i agree...or, if not coltaine, bult...i also agree with your suggestion to use lesser known actors...not because they're cheaper, but they also carry less baggage.

[Kimpo]

personally I think I'd prefer if the actors are "no-name", then they won't have "baggage" from previous films (though some are perfect enough for some parts, so those I wouldn't mind )

[Tiste Simeon]

Glad I missed them then...
*puts MOD hat on* right! Stop going off topic you lot!! Patch, what's the latest?

[Grey Sea]

Feeling left behind This bit about being the last ones in is a drag. I'm just finished with DHG and finally familiar with Chain of Dogs. I did't know enough of what it was to follow this thread. Now that I have I'm very excited to see it. To reiterate how fantastic is it to be able to follow a project like this from the vantage point we're provided in this forum! Sadly, I'll be so far from Australia as to completely negate any shot at being an extra.
What a chore to skinny this storyline to the Duiker basics. Although I'd be happy to sit through a three-plus hours of movie viewing which included the many story lines of DHG I fear the task impossible. At first, I felt a real disappointment when Patch announced the limited scope of the project, but will be eminently satisfied with a product so closely allied to the author. You are certainly far along in the process by now, so voicing preference at this late date would be so much vanity.
So here goes anyway....So much turns on each Sekala, Gelor, and Vathar I hope each makes it in some form into the final version. The arrogance of the nobles, the impotence of the High Fist Pormqual and ensuing treachery, Sa'yless Lorthal, the cameo of Mappo, the crows; all details carrying import to the viewer.
One final HUZZAAA!
