A young Michael York as a young Tywin, Liz Taylor as Lyanna Stark, Vivienne Lee as an older Arya, Christopher Lee as Pycelle, definitely Oliver Reed for Robert, resurrected Heath Ledger as Jaime, Grace Kelly, maybe Kim Basinger as an older version as Cersei, a young Yul Brynner as Oberyn, a young Catherine-Zeta Jones as Arienne, Gemma Arteton as Lady Nym, Rooney Mara as Elia Martell, Nicole Kidman as Catelyn, a younger Amy Adams as Sansa, a young Guy Pierce as Viserys, Charlton Heston as Ned, Audrey Hepburn with a wig as Daenerys, A young Vanessa Redgrave as Mellisandre and a young Gene Kelly as Renly

If Game of Thrones was made during the early 1950's:

Meinhardt Raabe as Tyrion Lannister, Joan Crawford as Cersei, Joel McCrae as Jamie, Henry Fonda as Sandor Clegane, Walter Huston as Tywin, Peter Lawford as Joffrey Baratheon, John Gielgud as Petyr Baelish, Peter Lorre as Varys, Melvyn Douglas as Bronn, Sidney Greenstreet as Pycelle, Elizabeth Taylor as Daenerys Targaryen, Walter Pidgeon as Ser Jorah Mormont, Margaret O'Brien as Arya Stark, Audrey Hepburn as Sansa, Claudette Colbert as Cat, Roddy McDowall as Bran, Montgomery Clift as Robb, Tim Holt as Theon Greyjoy, Charlton Heston as Jon Snow and Christopher Lee as Grenn.

I'm trying to make a dream cast if the show was filmed during the 1980s.

I would exchange many of your recasts. In your version, Arya is more classically beautiful than Sansa, Dany and arguably Cersei. Vivien Leigh would be great as either Margaery (if younger) or Cersei (if older, with a blonde wig/dyed hair). Natalie Wood could also be a good physical match for Margaery from the books, with her doe eyes and innocent sweet look, it would be ambiguous and deceptive just like Marg in the books, unlike the more obviously ambitious and scheming Marg from the show. Liz Taylor is Ashara Dayne (she was even the inspiration for her), not Lyanna. Katherine Hepburn is the completely wrong type, physically and otherwise, for Dany, but she would be a great Catelyn. Grace Kelly would be more suited to Dany or Margaery (with dyed hair/wig) than to Cersei, at least physically, though she's not the ideal candidate for either. And Christopher Lee is all wrong for Pycelle, too tall and dignified and physically impressive even at an old age. You need someone who could look pathetic and slimy. Hm... I have to think about that.

Also, has anyone said it yet - Peter Ustinov as Wyman Mandely and Charles Laughton as Ilyrio?

Some of these look like recasting Casablanca or Spartacus as Game of thrones!



I get the Spartacus one though, Though I'd throw in Ustinov as Varys as Varys and Illyrio kind of parallel those characters in a visual way and Pentos=Rome kind of works a bit too.



I'm gonna do a Magnificent seven one:



Steve McQueen - Jamie


Yul Brynner - Drogo


Robert Vaughn - Littlefinger


James Coburn - Tywin


Charles Bronson - Ned Stark


The young one - Robb


The other dude who nobody knows the name of - Meryn trant


Eli Wallach - (I Love Eli Wallach) but I could only see him as Locke/Goat

Pretty good, eh? Even has the long ponytail.

~Nods YES~ That was a spectacular photo of Sean Connery. I get the feeling that I might see a glimpse of that picture in my mind on future rereads. I love Jason as Drogo, I used to picture Lost's Naveen Andrews (Sayid) when I read, and now they will both have to compete with a fleeting glimpse of Sean Connery. I'm betting the accent would be weird from Connery, though, LOL

Ha ha!

The accent from Sean Connery would be Sean Connery's accent as it always is!

James bond, Scottish accent.

Spanish immortal, Scottish accent.

Irish American policeman, Scottish accent.

Richard the lion heart, Scottish accent.

Khal Drogo would be from Edinburgh and we know it.

Still, it would be class and he'd rock.
