There are alot interesting casting possibilities. Here's my choice for today.... ;)

Gartonian: (Male) Keeper of Drakkon Keep, Loves Companionship, depressed due to his exhile.

James Caviezel~ He proved he can act the depressed, intense or vunerable in the The Count of Monte Cristo.


Mist: (Female) A sole survivor of a shipwreck that makes it ashore Drakkon, mysterious, sexy, athletic, beatuiful.

Kate Winslet ~ she was so beautiful and romantic in Sense and Sensibility.I'll bet she would interesting to play opposite James Caviezel.


Hinkaro: A ship Captain who tries to use his forces of many men and a Strong ship.

Christopher Eccleston ~ He was perfect as the intense, conniving Duke of Norfolk in Elizabeth, he’d make a great forceful captain.

Faintara: (Male or Female) A wizard who communicates with Gartonian from time to time to see how things are going. Very militant, Concerened with the Keeps care.

Judi Dench ~ She can play almost anything.

"Hinkaro: A ship Captain who tries to use his forces of many men and a Strong ship."

"Christopher Eccleston ~ He was perfect as the intense, conniving Duke of Norfolk in Elizabeth, he’d make a great forceful captain."


Very nice choice here, I would never have thought of him, but now that I look back at some of his work I am amazed at how easily a choice he would be in this part. I like your other picks also, but this one struck me as perfect.. Thanks. I think I have my choice for the ship captain.

Lead Male - Daniel Day-Lewis
Lead Female - Scarlett Johansson
Ship Captain - Kristen Johnston
Mage - Jeremy Irons

I love the idea of Scarlett Johansson, I think she would do well here.
So far she would be my choice from the picks I have seen.

I think you are on the right track with Daniel Day-Lewis, I like the long hair for this part, but I am still open here.
Thanks for input Slay

Gartonian: Viggo Mortenson

Mist: Eliza Dushku

Hinkaro: David Threlfall

Faintara: Helen Mirren

:cool:

Gartonian: (Male) Keeper of Drakkon Keep, Loves Companionship, depressed due to his exhile.

Johnny Depp ( Depp is very versaitile. I'm sure he would do good in this role.)

Mist: (Female) A sole survivor of a shipwreck that makes it ashore Drakkon, mysterious, sexy, athletic, beatuiful.

Ashley Judd (Don't know an awful lot about this actress, although I should do. However I think she has the looks for the role and she is klnow to be quite intelligent.

Hinkaro (Male or Female) A ship Captain who tries to use his forces of many men and a Strong ship.

Benicio Del Toro (I think an actor rather then actress would be better suited to this role. I've had a look and came up with Beni simply for his heavy roles.)

Faintara: (Male or Female) A wizard who communicates with Gartonian from time to time to see how things are going. Very militant, Concerened with the Keeps care.

Jodie Foster (Jodie has proven again and again that she can play 'hard' characters. Deep and strong. When I think militant, for actress names she inevitably springs to mind.)

Thanks for reply's so far everyone, I am definitely working on a script for this and You may be suprised at the outcome, keep the ideas coming.

For those who remember this thread I have finally got back to writing again, I have had a lot of things hold me up, basically life. Anyway The reason I asked for the casting help was not because I hold any crazy ideas that it will happen, but it helps me with building my characters. I watch the actors/actresss that are picked in their various films and I choose one. They then become my character down to facial expressions and mannerisms. Silly I know but I wanted to write a story a bit backwards from my norm.

Gartonian: Gerard Butler

Now that is an interesting list. :yup:

I think you should use one famous person like Jim Caviezel in the lead role. then find a bunch of no names and make your movie very high budget because no names don't ask for a lot unless the movie makes a lot of money and the ratings call for a sequel. That's just my idea though. It's your movie, ain't it?

Actually when I am done with the script I plan on producing the film myself with some friends. It is definitely going to be a labor of love, but we are all commited. The budget is extremly small of course, but we do have some great locations here in Fort Pickens. The story has already been written, but I am redoing it in a script form which is a very tough job; a lot harder than I thought. The biggest reason for the casting help is that for me when I picture an actor/actress as a certain character it helps me create scenes. Again I know it is a bit weird, but truly it helps me, so thanks everyone for your ideas so far. I have watched many films, TV and theatrical, starring Christopher Eccleston and I am convinced I will meld his talent into my chracter of Hinkaro.

Gartonian: (Male) Keeper of Drakkon Keep, Loves Companionship, depressed due to his exhile. Bruce Campbell

Mist: (Female) A sole survivor of a shipwreck that makes it ashore Drakkon, mysterious, sexy, athletic, beatuiful. Angelina Jolie

Hinkaro (Male or Female) A ship Captain who tries to use his forces of many men and a Strong ship.Johnny Depp

Faintara: (Male or Female) A wizard who communicates with Gartonian from time to time to see how things are going. Very militant, Concerened with the Keeps care. Kevin Smith
