cgardenh Angela Bassett would be an exceptional Mazzy.
George C. Scott as Korgan
Anomen is that guy from Full House
Viconia is Lucy Liu(maybe a strectch but Lucy can pull off the b**** act really well)
I like Cameron Diaz for Aerie
Keldorn is John Travolta with Hair dyed grey
Yoshi is Chow Yun Fat
Minsc is Telly Savalas
Jaheira, Charlize Theron??
Nalia is Tori Spelling
Imoen is Natalie Portman
Boo is the voice of Bruce Willis(squeek!)
Haer Daelis is the dude that played in cider house rules
Sarevok is of couse the rock
Jan is Woody Allen

Man! Tori Spelling connot act a bit! If anyone should play Nalia, it should be Drew Barrymore. She already has the look for it. I like yuor Jan choice though. Never even considered Woody for the role.

I disagree with your Sarevok choice, my choice would be the guy that played Imhotep from the Mummy returns. That guy is seriously buff, moreso than Dwayne Johnson I would say. He has the right look, and the right build, but I think the voice is wrong.

Come to think of it Triple H would be perfect for the job, but he's a little too top heavy but that doesn't really matter, because he's the only one I know with a fitting voice.

Anyways .... the guy that played Imhotep, could play Minsc, but I'm not too sure on that, because I think to play Minsc, you need some sort of dazed and confused look on you perpetually.

Anomen needs someone pretty diesel to play him. He does have 18/50 str after all. Hmmmm, Bull Buchanan from the WWF would fit the bill, but I doubt he has the intellectual capacity to handle anything more than wrestling.

Jaheira is a tough one because I'm not sure what chick could do a russian accent, and has a stance that comes across as individualist b1znatch, AND look good in corn rows.

Aerie, you need someone SERIOUSLY petite to play this role, because elves are only 4'2 after all.

Hmmmm, who was that quarterstaff wielding rogue from Babylon 5 ? I think he would make an excellent Edwin.

Yoshimo, I also disagree with, because Chow Yun Fat doesn't really fit the archetype. For Yoshimo, you need someone really friendly and talkative, yet have a slightly greasy demeanor.

Another thought, why not make it a CG movie like Final Fantasy or Shrek, so that solves the look part, and you can put more effort into voice casting (actually why not call back the voice actors they used originally ?)

Gary Oldman(sp? could be Oleman

) As Edwin

And I don't think we've mentioned who'd play Valygar yet.

Don't you mean "let slip" as in "let's release" the dogs of war. It's Shakespeare, not Chang, although it does sound better in the original Klingon.

And don't forget, Jon is an "elf." What's Corey Haim doing these days?

First, the Rock couldn't even act a non-speaking part in Mummy Returns, and George C Scott is also deceased.

Halle Berry as Viconia (with her Storm hair, ahem....)
Samuel L. Jackson as Yoshimo
Drew Barrymore as Nalia (we have a model for this one)
LeeLee Sobieski as Imoen ... very sexy, also very smart
Laurence Fishburne as Valygar
Julia "Save the Last Dance" Stiles as Jahiera
Ewan McGregor as me

Don't care about the rest with Julia, LeeLee, Drew and Halle to stare at.... and the script will include Happy Script to have all 3 romances

Skie from BG1 is soooo badly Natalie Portman. Almost did the Eldoth quest just to get her for it. But I didn't.

Right on......but you might want someone with at least a bit of talent in acting to play the part. And Samuel L. Jackson as Yoshimo!? That would be hilarious. I'd see the movie based on that alone.

Another good idea would be Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean if someone doesn't know) in the part of Minsc, Whoopie Goldberg as Viconia, Julia Roberts as Jaheira, Kevin Spacey as Cernd, Tom Cruise as Anomen and Ernie Shwarznigga as protagonist (half-orc fighter). And who would be the director you ask. Why of course our all-time favourite John Travolta

.

That would certainly make a great crash-and-burn movie. It probably would kick Battlefield Earth's ass too.

The dwarf from maid marrian and her merry men

Metatron · Post by **Metatron** » Sat Jul 21, 2001 11:24 am

Heh, here are my picks in the order that I think of them:
NPCS
Imoen - Angelina Jolie
Jaheira - Salma Hayek
Minsc - Kevin Sorbo
Yoshimo - Chen Chang
Aerie - Natalie Portman
Korgan - Robin 'The Beard' Williams (Assuming unlimited budget for CG effects to make him appear shorter)
Nalia - Drew Barrymore
Anomen - Ben Affleck
Edwin - Edward Norton
Haer'Dalis - Jason Lee
Viconia - Rebecca Romane-Stamos
Jan - Jon Lovitz (See Korgan)
Valygar - Keith Hamilton Cobb
Keldorn - Harrison Ford
Mazzy - ?
Cernd - Liam Neeson
Sarevok - I can't help but think The Rock is right for this role, even though I don't particularly like him or wrestling. Heh.

OTHERS
Jon Irenicus - Alan Rickman
Bodhi - Voice by Ertha Kitt, perhaps played by a younger woman.
Saemon Havarian - Matt Damon
Aran Linvail - Pierce Brosnan
Lassal - Christopher Walken

Edward Norton as Edwin? Me no think so.

I still say Gary Oldman would be the best part for Edwin.

Come on, Ed Norton can play anything. Heh, you just want Oldman because he almost always has a beard. Well Norton can -grow- a beard, dammit.

Not at all true. Oldman can do the Russian accent. Didn't you see the movie "Air Force One"?
