Padraig O'Sullivan Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I remember a few years ago, when they were looking for actresses to play Melisandre and someone recommended Eva Green for the role but she wouldn't because she appeared in the flop 'Camelot'.Would she have a better Melisandre than Carice Van Houten.

TaenaOfMyr Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Van Houten has been excellent as Melisandre, not a problem at all that they didn't get Eva Green for this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon I Blackfyre Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Eva Green as Asha Greyjoy...She would've been flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Eva Green as Asha Greyjoy...She would've been flawless. Yeah there is one I could go with. Alas I think when that casting came Green was tied up in a lot of film work... and now I think her stock has even gone up. I don't think she was even approached, tho you never know. Camelot... Eva Green was the only thing good about that she ... a waste of a fine talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyman Manderly's Meat Pies Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Carice Van Houten is the most perfect creature on this planet. She's perfect as Mel. Eva Green is tied as the most perfect creature on the planet so I'd kill to see her in anything...especially my bed, and my home in general because we'd be married Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Guy Garlan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think so, yes. Nothing against Carice, she's great and all. But Eva Green is Melisandre. She's only pretending to be an actress to turn the most powerful Hollywood tycoons into worshippers of R'hllor and to get them away from the Great Other, who manifests himself through the Church of Scientology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konradsmith Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I wonder if Eva was offered the role. I guess she would've turned it down because it was somewhat similar to her role in Camelot. I don't mind her not being in though because Carice is excellent. She is entirely convincing as a woman who is able to enamour not only Stannis (a man who isn't easily enamoured btw) but a large portion of his army. Very charismatic, she never blinks and lest I forget (how could I) she's beautiful. Though Eva could pull off all of those things, I prefer Carice.

wiffy Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 this is a tough one. They are both stunning and Eva is excellent in the new horror series Penny Dreadful on showtime. But Carice to me is really fantastic as Melisandre. She is also the most beautiful woman on GoT by far she is exquisite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Cooked Steak Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think Carice is still better, because even though Eva does give that mysterious and magical vibe, and she's all around very charming and beautiful (and let's be honest, the only reason 300: Rise Of An Empire was tolerable was because of her), I think Carice, while at the same time has these elements, brings also this creepiness that I think is needed for Mel. She's great. I wonder if Eva was offered the role. I guess she would've turned it down because it was somewhat similar to her role in Camelot.

Deadwood Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Eva could be a character like Taena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingelheim Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Carice IS Mel. She was born to play the role. Eva Green would be an excellent Lyanna Stark. Having her as Asha/Yara...I don't think an actress of her status would want such a small role. D&D don't seem to like the character at all.

Chebyshov Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Frankly, Eva could even be a pretty great AD (though I doubt we're going to see her in the flashbacks). Sure, no purple eyes, but they're huge and rather haunting. EDIT: Maybe if AD=SL and they'll bother casting her...again, very long shot on multiple accounts.

I agree , would Green have agreed to such little screen time? I don't think D&D dislike Yara/Asah, I think they have just re-imagined the Greyjoys at Pyke , as things goes we should see more of Gemma Whelan in season 5, I guess. Well Eva is a near A-lister right now and they have another near A lister in Ciarán Hinds who was in only one episode that season! So she might have done it.

Your Lady Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Eva could be a character like Taena? Yes, I could definitely see her as Taena Merryweather. Or possibly Arianne. And I prefer Carice as Melisandre, she is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorey Targaryen Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 For some reason, I see Eva green as a viable choice for Cersei. If Lena Heady hadn't have been cast in that role, Eva would have definately been my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think season 2 was cast before they knew that Camelot wouldn't be back. It's ratings were good, it was production & cast problems that killed it.

It's ratings were good, it was production & cast problems that killed it. It's ratings were less than a million most of the season, never topped 1.13 m. Reviews started out good, but went in the dumper as the season went along. I watched it only for Eva Green, was glad it flopped so she could move on to other things.

Ser Eric Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 They should recast Dany and have Eva Green play her role. Emilia Clarke, aside from being a very mediocre actress doesn't shed her clother anymore whereas Eva Green is practically naked in everything and a better actress.
