Bittersteel_914 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The TargaryensAerys – Gary OldmanThis is a GREAT call if it should come to fruition...he is hand's down the best Dracula in film and i could see that performance translating VERY WELL to the Mad King...such a great call!

Well mostly anyway. Some of your casting choices such as Gary Oldman and Rupert Penry Jones are so inspired, I could not come up with an alternative option. Thank you again.So here I my suggestions.

briantw Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Could we just cast Charles Dance as Tywin and pretend he doesn't age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Areo Mace Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Could we just cast Charles Dance as Tywin and pretend he doesn't age?I could over look it. He's too good as Tywin for anyone else to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XAssGodX Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Rhaegar – Cillian Murphy - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0614165/or - Charlie Hunnam - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0402271/Renly – Luke Pasqualino - http://www.imdb.com/...08096/nm3297698These ones just no. I'll tell you why, for Rhaegar, he's supposed to be extremely good looking and Cillian Murphy is extremely ugly. Charlie Hunnam is not ugly but is not that good looking either and i don't think he fits Rhaegar, I'll put a maybe on him but seriously Cillian Murphy doesn't even look human.Renly is about 7 years old in the books at that time, they can't age him up 10 years.I was tempted to comment on Henry Cavill for Robert, he's good looking as Robert should be but Robert was much more muscular. Still i thought he was ok.I didn't look at all the list but most of it made sense and were pretty good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald Hard-Ruler Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've answered this question so many times that I've come up with a pretty extensive list myself. A lot of my choices are the same as the OP's actually. I'll underline my choices that are differentThe Starks

briantw Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I could over look it. He's too good as Tywin for anyone else to play him.They could just put in a subplot about how he bathes in blood to never age. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPaulGualtieri Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Here's what I have so far (though I'm going to add more, such as House Martell, the Mountain, White Bull, etc.):House BaratheonRobert Baratheon—Henry Cavill or Joe Manganiello (who’d do justice to just how physically imposing King Robert was).Stannis Baratheon—Aaron Paul (I saw his name suggested in an earlier thread about this topic and I completely agree)House ArrynJon Arryn—John NobleHouse TargaryenAerys II Targaryen—Mads Mikkelsen (perfect for so many ASIOAF roles, I think) (A friend whose a big ASOIAF fan says Al Pacino—recreating his role from The Devil’s Advocate—would play a perfect Mad King Aerys)Rhaegar Targaryen—Alexander SkarsgardHouse StarkRickard Stark—David MorrisseyBrandon Stark—Tom HiddlestonEddard Stark—Jack HustonLyanna Stark—Rebecca HallHouse TullyHoster Tully—Bradley Walsh (Fantastic as the British counterpart to Lennie Briscoe in Law & Order:UK)Catelyn Tully—Bonnie WrightLysa Tully—Rachel Hurd-WoodHouse Lannister Tywin Lannister—Charles Dance (for some reason I would love to see Bryan Cranston as Tywin Lannister—I think he’d be fierce)Jaime Lannister—Jamie BellCersei Lannister—Melanie Laurent (though she may be too old)House DayneSer Arthur Dayne—Charlie HunnamAshara Dayne—Katie McGrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunadangelo Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Harald Hard RulerI really like some of your choices, in particular:Lyanna - Kaya ScodelarioCersei - Freya MavorStannis – Nicholas AnscombeRhaella – Joely RichardsonJon Connington - Eddie RedmayneGerold Hightower – Ron PerlmanAnd would love to see the following but may be not in that role Tony CurranRay WinstoneMichael FassbenderBut there are two choices I don't get personally. Rhaegar - Joe AndersonCatelyn - Lily ColeEspecially Lily Cole. She looks so outlandish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunadangelo Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 PeterPaulGualtieriI love your choices for the these:Brandon Stark—Tom HiddlestonEddard Stark—Jack HustonCatelyn Tully—Bonnie WrightLysa Tully—Rachel Hurd-I also love Charlie Hunnam, Katie McGrath and Melanie Laurent, but agree with you that she is may be a bit too old for the role.

victim Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Stannis Baratheon—Aaron Paul (I saw his name suggested in an earlier thread about this topic and I completely agree)That may be the weirdest casting choice I've ever seen... but I kind of love it.

Harald Hard-Ruler Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Harald Hard RulerI really like some of your choices, in particular:Rhaegar - Joe AndersonCatelyn - Lily ColeEspecially Lily Cole. She looks so outlandish. Haha, yeah I can see that. Cole is kind of weird looking, I guess I just picked her because I think Michelle Fairley is a bit weird looking as well...and a redhead too. Karen Gillan would probably be a better choice. Why don't you like Anderson for Rhaegar? He's a good actor, the right age, light blonde hair, good looking and can pull of the sensitive, brooding harp player that I always imagined.

lunadangelo Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Harald Hard RulerR u messin' with me, man???? :fencing:Nah.Anyway, yeah, I think there are quite a few red headed British real actresses that would be great, forinstance Bonnie Wright as mentioned by NOMDICDIREWOLVE above. As for Rhaegar, I agree that he ought to be able to portray a sensitive as well as though side. Butyour choice, imo at least, just looks too skinny.I just wish we could amalgamate Charlie Hunnam and Cillian Murphy because then we would havethe perferct Rhaegar.PS: Sorry can't remember who said this but saying that Cillian Murphy is unattractive is just wrong. Whilst not ruggedly handsome, he has a face that is cerebral, different and interesting. More importantly he is an amazing actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
