LEGEND: THE MOVIE

[locke]

So who which actors would play which characters.
I'm thinking the head viking in 'the 13th warrior' to play Druss!
What do you think?

I'm not so sure.
I thought the adaptation of the Lord of the Rings was very well done despite my gravest mis-givings when I first heard the project was being seriously undertaken. The level of cinematic wizardry today is up to the task of creating serious motion pictures with science fiction/fantasy scenarios. It also appears the genre is being taken seriously and the level of professionalism involved in these productions is impressive.

The Dark Knight and even Iron Man both received serious interpretations on screen which may not meet everyones expectations but are admirable nevertheless. The Legend would have to be a trilogy and who could possibly play the lead? Some of the other books though would make excellent cinema if given the same attention to detail and professionalism as the aforementioned films.

The only fear would be some B rated production similar to the farce of Anne Rices work.

i think gerard butler would be goo for druss because if they end up making the first cronicles and the legend of deathwaker then they dont have to change the actor

Druss - Tyler Mane (aka Ajax from Troy) ... Just look at pictures of him as Ajax and tell me he's not exactly how you would picture Druss (replacing the giant hammer with Snaga).

Rek - Orlando Bloom (aka Balian from Kingdom of Heaven) ... Now, I know what you're thinking, he doesn't have the acting skills, he's too much of a sissy, etc. Well, watch Kingdom of Heaven to know he has the chops to play the role, and his sissy nature plays into Rek's character flaws. And as Rek ends up as essentially the main character, it would pay to have a big name actor in the role.

Virae - Tabrett Bethell (aka Cara from Legend of the Seeker) ... Beautiful but with very strong features, capable of combat scenes and a rising star in the movie/tv industry. Currently a blonde, but has been brunette in the past.

Haven't really thought of any of the other roles yet, but there are the big 3.
