I only hope that the actress they cast for Arianne will be curvy. And I mean really curvy. I'd be infuriated if they cast a "holllywood-skinny" type. You know, the kind that turns little girls anorexic.

Most non-francophones probably won't know her, but I quite like the idea of Leila Bekhti. Proven actress with the looks to match. Only problem? I cannot say how much English she knows :D

ETA: Sabrina Ouazani could possibly be better, as I know for a fact she speaks decent English and again, tried and true actress.

Recently discovered Rhiannon Fish: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/p480x480/935288_459214470829509_2131553783_n.jpg. She's the right age, and while I'm unsure of her ethnicity (I know people around here enjoy getting riled up about that), I think she looks the part. I've seen some Youtube videos of her acting, and it's pretty good considering she's mainly known for soap operas. It would be interesting to see how she'd do with more challenging material.

I kind of picture Penelope Cruz as Arianne Martell.

Who cares if she's older, Ned was played by a fifty-one year old male, I think she would do nicely for the role.

If she'd be too expensive, heck, go with Antonia Thomas.

It is much, much easier to make a 50 year old look like he is in his late 30's than it is to make a 40 year old look like she is in her early 20's.

I picture Arianne as Gemma Arterton.... :dunno:

I know she isn't Mediterranean, but that's how I see her.

Well HBO chose to cast Pedro Pascal(Chilean descent) as Oberyn Martell and Indira Varma(Indian /Geonese Italian descent) as Ellaria sand

So I honestly don't see HBO even considering Gemma Arterton as Arianne.

I'll tell you right now that's not gonna happen. The woman HBO has chosen to play Ellaria Sand is Indira Varma and she's 40 in real life. Penelope Cruz is 39 in real life, so there's no way HBO is gonna cast Penelope Cruz as Arianne when Ellaria Sand is suppose to be like 15+ years older that Arianne in the books and Indira Varma would be only be a year older than Cruz in real life. Sorry but it's just not gonna happen, the only thing Cruz would've been perfect for in this show was Ellaria Sand, but as you can see that spot has already been filled.....

Expect Ned and company are/were in their forties for the show, Sean Bean can pass for a guy in his forties that has lived a hard live, in a hard land. In the books we don't know if they will age Arianne up, nor is it really needed for story. She can still be in her early twenties, that would still put her in range of Viserys age in the show. Penelope Cruz, can not play a girl in her twenties.

This topic got me thinking about who could play Arianne and if your going for an Indian look, I think Deepika Padukone is perfect:

She resembles the picture that Martin has up on his site as well.

No, she's too tall and almost flat-chested. Arianne supposed to be a little, busty beauty with wide hips. I think Sonakshi Sinha or Shriya Saran fit better.
