Casting the Part: Warmachine Movie

**Coinlord** · 04-09-2012, 09:22 AM

Haven't seen one of these up here for a while, so i figured i'd get the annual thread going. The premise is simple: Privateer makes a movie and asks you for help casting. Who do you pick?
We've had a couple of new books since the last time i checked one of these out, so i'm gonna pick some uncommon characters.

MacBain - Bruce Willis
Damiano - Hugh Jackman
Annie DiBray - Karen O
All Warjacks - Andy Sirkus (or however it's spelled)
Kell Bailoch - Jason Isaacs
Milo di Northryne / The Ragman - Malcolm McDowell

**autooth** · 04-09-2012, 11:14 AM

Borka- Big Show
Kenny- Peter Dinklage (even though he is too good an actor for such a part)
Asphyxious- Bruce Spence
Lord Rockbottom- Ian McShane
Ashlynn- Milla Jovovich
Broadsides Bart- M.C Gainey

**komodokeeper** · 04-09-2012, 11:15 AM

OK, I'll bite. . .and, as per the last 2 times I did one of these, I'll be ridiculed, but that's sometimes the fun. . .

Anyway,
MacBain- Paul Teutel, Sr. (has the look, and attitude, if channeled Correctly)
Kara Sloan- Keira Knightley
Constance Blaize- Christina Hendricks
Vindictus- Steve Buscemi
Thyra- Laura Prepon
Finneus Shae- Russell Crowe

**SgtPepper** · 04-09-2012, 11:31 AM

How can you say Laura Prepon for Thyra? She's a giant amazon ginger woman (Don't get me wrong, I would not kick her out of bed, but just don't see it) I see Thyra as a small, lithe, agile woman......I'm thinking maybe Natalie Portman.

**Sthiel** · 04-09-2012, 11:31 AM

Sorscha - Angelina Jolie
Harkovich - Robby Coltrane

**PG_Azhdeen** · 04-09-2012, 11:46 AM

Just a few of my ideas

Nemo - Christopher Lloyd
Denny - Sigorney Weaver
Goreshade - Hugh Jackman
Scaverous - Kelsey Grammer
Michael Clark Duncan - Thagrosh
Gunnbjorn - Ron Perlman
Sorcha - Morena Baccarin
Asphyxious - Sir Ian McKellan

The Butcher - Nathan Jones, he is about 7 feet tall and all of his lines from every movie he has ever been in is basically screaming and yelling.

**Jake the Dog** · 04-09-2012, 01:13 PM

Katee Sackhoff, a.k.a. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from Battlestar Galactica, as Kara Sloan:

I'll just leave this here:

Garryth- William DaFoe

I was thinking more along character lines rather than physicality. . . .Laura could play pi$$ed off widow pretty well me thinks

And I agree that Starbuck would make a great Kara SLaon, just didn't think of her since I rarely watched the show (more of a comment on my life/hours than on the show).

OOOhhh. . .just thought of a fun one. . .or two . . .Danny Devito as Grundback. . .Billy Boyd as Reinholdt

**Coinlord** · 05-08-2012, 11:54 PM

Threadromancy!
Three more i randomly thought of:

Matthew McConaughey - Wrong Eye.
Alan Rickman - Magnus (Bruce Campbell is too old)
Saxxon Orrik - Iain Glen

**leo_neil316** · 05-08-2012, 11:55 PM

No warmachine and hordes are not.....

Wait, hang on, I thought it was Wednesday?

**PG_MrChom** · 05-09-2012, 01:55 AM

Really? No one for Nathan Fillion as Caine yet? No?

Also Coinlord.... Bruce Campbell is 54 ....Alan Rickman is 66 Besides, 54 sounds like a decent age for Magnus.....

i get a pretty British vibe from Caine

**psichotykwyrm** · 05-09-2012, 02:10 AM

Karchev: Michael Ironside

**Vedrial** · 05-09-2012, 03:04 AM

Stryker is Beaker from the Muppets...

Note the "stryking" similarities between the hair, the noses, and the facial expressions!

**NeilK** · 05-09-2012, 03:33 AM

Butcher: Michael Chiklis
Caine: Clive Owen
"Siege" Brisbane: Michael Clarke Duncan
Haley: Jodie Foster
Feora: Cate Blanchet
Nemo: Sam Elliot
Rhupert Carvolo: Ian McShane
Rutger Shaw: Eric Bana

**Raktra** · 05-09-2012, 04:33 AM

Christopher Lee for Severius. No other voice has the power *shakes fists*

Wow, nice! I especially like Butcher, Nemo, and Rutger.

And have you seen Bruce Campbell though? Watch Burn Notice. There's nothing Magnus about him anymore. I know he was probably designed based off of him, but...
And i've always been a fan of Collin Farrell for Caine.

**roastduck** · 05-10-2012, 05:32 AM

I like the idea of Henry Cavill for Caine

**Nuriochi_sol** · 05-10-2012, 06:08 AM

I've always championed John Hurt as Nemo... Not just his overall look and age, but his acting ability. He's a more serious version of Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown. An amazing actor - his dynamic with Hellboy in the first film seals it for me; he can bring that strict-yet-loving father figure role to Stryker.

**Peg leg Pete** · 05-10-2012, 06:18 AM

Vlad -- viggo mortenson
Harkevich -- John Rhys Davies (gimli from lord of the rings, sala from indiana jones)

**wazatdingder** · 05-10-2012, 06:21 AM

I'm sticking with Sam Jackson as Reznik "Now get the M----F------ snakes in those M----F------ chains!"

**Coinlord** · 05-10-2012, 10:22 AM

Stannis - Jeffery Dean Morgan.
Harlan Varsh - Rowan Atkinson.
Constance - Mila Jovavich.

**Coinlord** · 05-10-2012, 10:24 AM

Oops, double post. Well, here's some more.

Alexia - Kat Dennings.
Gorman - Tom Hiddleston.
I'm gonna go Stryker - Chris Hemsworth. Why not?

**quindraco** · 05-10-2012, 10:30 AM

Vinter can only be played by Sean Bean, since it's the only way to convince the audience he might die.

Alan Rickman(1946) is 12 years OLDER than Bruce Campbell(1958).

**x3tsniper** · 05-10-2012, 01:32 PM

Sean Bean would have to play somebody who dies... Any male cryx casters that started out living? He could be goreshade going from elf to undead elf guy.

Could we work Liam Neeson in as the Butcher/Xerxis somehow?

Bruce Campbell is still kickin in Burn Notice.

Damn you beating me to sean bean part. >.>

**Jake the Dog** · 05-10-2012, 02:09 PM

If he where still alive, Raúl Julia as Irusk. I can not be the only one who sees M. Bison resembling Irusk.

**Rabid Bunny** · 05-10-2012, 02:19 PM

Siege: Idris Elba. The man turns any role he plays into gold, if he plays him slightly rough like he did in Luther, it'd be perfect.

Would that make Irusk one of those Bison Wannabes Guile was talking about?

**infamousd** · 05-10-2012, 02:52 PM

All I see is the world's worst choices.....

Then you ost your "better" choices then....

**Akiosama** · 05-10-2012, 03:10 PM

Only thing - Raul Julia, I believe, is too short. He was standing on orange crates for a lot of scenes in Street Fighter to increase his height, I heard.

As for my vote, and I've probably said this before - Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) for Major Victoria Haley. The Apotheosis painting made me think of her at my very first glance at it.

And I could see either Michael Clark Duncan or Ving Rhames as Siege Brisbane.

And I think that Olivia Wilde would make a great Major Katherine Laddermore, as someone else pointed out before.

Also, with the right hairstyle, I think that Angelina Jolie, with slightly paler skintone, would make a decent Forward Kommander Sorscha Kratikoff. At least the art from Apotheosis seems to give her the lips for it.

My 2 crowns,

Lieutenant-Adept Akio

John Hurt and Christopher Lee being listed as the worst "anything" in relation to acting is madness.

**MagnustheJust** · 05-10-2012, 03:32 PM

This guy :

should definitely be played by...

This guy!!

Amazing what you can find via Google, ain't it??

**Tiran** · 05-11-2012, 07:46 AM

Bartolo Montador must be Brian Blessed, it really can't be anyone else!

**MidnightFox0083** · 05-11-2012, 08:40 AM

But then who would play Harkevich?

Shouldn't the man WITH the largest ham be played BY the largest ham?
