thewingedwolf Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I am curious to hear your thoughts about the ideal casting for a movie on Robert's Rebellion (there is no plan for a movie, this is purely for discussion puposes). Here are some of my picksRhaegar Targaryen: Alexander SkarsgardRobert Baratheon: Gerard ButlerNed Stark: Richard ArmitageLyanna Stark: Keira KightleyCersei Lannister: Scarlett JohansonJon Arryn: Sean ConnerySer Barristan Selmy: Liam Neeson Jaime Lannister: Hayden ChristensenPrince Lewyn Martell: Benicio Del Toro Princess Elia of Dorne: Nathalie PortmanGerold Hightower: Vinnie JonesArthur Dayne: Brad PittAshara Dayne: Megan FoxThoughts?

Tomer Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Ahhh... how wonderful a movie of such could be. I honestly think it can do good money for whoever decides to run it.Keep Megan fox out of this, she dosen't belong. Brad Pitt might fit somewhere but certianly not Arthur Dayne. To me, Arthur Dayne is the greatest warrior in the modren history, and for many other people the most honorable and respected knight. he needs to be a lilbit old but very inspiring and great.I'd love to see Aleksander Skasgard and Gerard Butler fighting at the Trident!

protar Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 For a young Tywin, what about Micheal Fassbender. No idea why, but it just struck me. He'd need to dye his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaki Khanna Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What about the Blackfish, Edmure, Tyrion and the Martells (Doran and Oberyn)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fightbringer Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 What about the Blackfish, Edmure, Tyrion and the Martells (Doran and Oberyn)?none play massive roles, doran only sends 10,000 men from dorne to fight for the targs,and there under the command of lewyn martell, so i'm assuming he wasnt at the trident and neither was oberyn. Edmure and Tyrion were little more than boys when the rebellion was going on, sure you'd probably see one of them knocking about if we visited casterly rock or riverrun,but they'd hardly play a large role, and good luck finding a 9 year old dwarf to cast in that role.Blackfish role perhaps, but as far as i remember he goes with lysa to the vale after her wedding, so he wouldnt fight i shouldnt think, but he may be featured in the first few episodes/ minutes of the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJamesBond Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thoughts? Comments? Additions?The casting would make for an awesome film, but it would be financially unfeasible to pack so many stars into one film. You've got brad Pitt and liam neeson in supporting roles for heavens sake, lol. If the movie gets made it would likely have to use lots of very high quality unknowns with classical acting experience to form a strong ensemble cast. I believe legolas was cast that way in LOTR.That being said, I would love to see this movie made. It would be beyond epic. The problem is only GRRM knows how it all went down so he would have to write the script BUT he is pretty busy with three current writing projects (Winds, Dream and a season 3 script).

Nostrae Sunt Furiae Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Is this just me or is this the twenty millionth thread for this? Either way here is my list, since it's changed a bit from the last time around and there are some explanations as well. As I have told a few people, I think with a story like Robert's Rebellion, it would be important to show how young everyone is. People seem to forget that Lyanna was only 13 when she first met Rhaegar.House StarkRickard – Viggo Mortensen (Just because of reasons and I would kill to get him anywhere near GRRM's world) Brandon – Sam Claflin (A talented, young actor who could is no stranger to the sort of medieval genre. He is also nice to look at)Eddard – Jeremy Irvine (Another talented, young actor who I think could handle the quiet strength of Ned)Lyanna – India Eisley (She could easily pass for 14-15, is a pretty decent actress, and hold a resemblance to Maisie)Benjen – Asa Butterfield (Only one I could come up with, to be honest. But, I think he would fit pretty well)House BaratheonTywin – Daniel Craig (Because why not?)Jaime – Alex Pettyfer (The only person who could ever play a young Jaime)Cersei – Leven Rambin (Mostly because she looks a lot like Alex and completely gorgeous. She can also act)House Targaryen Aerys – Anthony Head (I was watching a lot of Merlin when I first read about Aerys and the image of him as stuck)Rhaella – Cate Blanchett (Specifically the look she had in Lord of the Rings)Rhaegar – ANYONE but Skarsgard. An older Douglas Booth, who has spent the past few months out of the sun, with a good wig. (He is the only person who has a face angelic enough to be anywhere close to how I picture Rhaegar)Elia – Amber Rose Revah (I haven't seen her act, but she was in another HBO production. I think she has the right look)Viserys – No clueRhaenerys – Alana Mansour (When Terra Nova first came out, I may or may not have screamed out at my TV because I thought she would be perfect)House BaratheonRobert – Armie Hammer (Have you seen that guy? He is Robert with blond hair. Built like a giant, with dazzling blue eyes and he has that charismatic personality I imagine Robert to have had at that age)Stannis – Nick Hoult (Only person I could think of)Renly – No IdeaHouse TullyHoster – Michael Fassbender (Just go with it)Bryden – Tom Hiddleston (Him in Henry IV would be perfect )Catelyn – Saorise Ronan (She has redish hair for The Host that just screams Cat)Lysa – Georgie Henley (I could see her playing the part extremely well) Edmure – The kid who played Hugo Weasley in the last Harry Potter filmOther Important CharactersJon Arryn – Liam Neeson (Does it really need saying?)Howland Reed – Logan Lerman (Talented actor and I think he could play the part well)Petyr Baelish – Daniel Radcliffe (Um he kind of looks like a young Aiden?)Jon Connington – Eddie Redmayne (Perfect ginger and a great actor)Ashara Dayne – Gemma Arterton (She would be flawless as Ashara)Arthur Dayne - Chris Hemsworth (His face is perfect for Arthur)I would have done the other Kingsguard members, but no one came to mind.

Burt Clegane Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 People won't want to see a film where 14 year old characters are supposedly getting raped or having a child, then dying. Why not have Lyanna played by someone like a Kiera Knightley type. Could pass for 20ish and already had some experience acting with swords. Sean Bean with died hair as a young Ned, send Mark Addy to the gym for two year and he'll pass for Robert again :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Areo Mace Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thoughts? Comments? Additions?Most of the Actors you picked are older then the character are during GoT and that's 15 years after Robert's Rebellionand Megan Fox is a horrible choice for almost any role.

Lord Elrosir Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think I'm the only one in the world who thinks Skarsgaard is an ugly guy and would be a terrible Rhaegar. That guys face is so gaunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Cersei some LOVE Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Megan Fox is not a horrible choice. ASHARA DAYNE was just eye candy. People love NED. They want to cheer for him, when they finally dance. Its not like you need an oscar nomination to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unRobert Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 House StarkRickard – Viggo Mortensen (Just because of reasons and I would kill to get him anywhere near GRRM's world) \Yes! Only because non-readers' reaction to Sean Bean/main character/lead role death was great. Viggo getting offed by burning to death in the first half hour would be hilarious.

ogarrr Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm surprised no-one's mentioned David Wenham for Ned. he even mentioned that him and Sean Bean were chosen for the parts of Faramir and Boromir because they both had lge noses. He could defnitely do a young Eddard Stark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
