yummm Karl Urban... and I have been crushing on Alex Pettyfer since I am number four...
Mod
I have a major crush on Karl Urban...
...and my Alex Pettyfer knowledge begins and ends with Magic Mike. *blush*
I have not seen it yet (I am not sure that it would be a good idea, I would prolly watch it a few too many times)... I am Number Four is really great, you would love it.
I like that we found a place for JR as Hamilton... but the choice for brig is too old... I vote Stephen Ammell http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1854386/?r... YUM!
Mod
YUM!"
Holy crow, he's PERFECT. Those eyes? Yes, please! Can't you just see them ringed in green, and markings creeping up around his neck and shoulders???
Well done, Miss Chris!
Oh you don't watch Arrow do you... go to CW online and watch Arrow and prepare for your eyes to roll to the back of your head...
Mod
I've never seen it. With four kids in the house, I very rarely get to watch TV, other than the occasional Netflix at night before I hit the sack. :) Thank goodness there are other folks that do, that can point guys like THIS out to me! *grins*
oh no, next nap WATCH it ;-) let me see if I can find you a clip... Liz and I act like 13 year olds about this show... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apn96... do not blink around 1:27 ;-)
I am kinda leaning toward Benjamin Stone as my Rein, but most of that is his accent... and the thin jaw (such a pretty face) http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/benjamin-...
Mod
Holy cow, that looks awesome. And for the record, I started it around 1:21, and THEY STILL TOTALLY HOOKED ME.
Sheesh. Power writing.
Mod
Hmmm...I don't know about this one - he looks younger than Stephen A. does, and he's supposed to look a *little* older. He DOES have a gorgeous face, though!!
oh he would look the part once you get him in the clothes with his bow... *sigh* plus he is a good counter to Stephen as the Abomination (which ohohoh I would be so torn between them, which right now I am not!)I can already see him looking up through his hair tied to a chair in the barn LOL And on that note I should slowly back away from this thread
Arrow is realllllllly good. It should not be, but it is. I will let you know when the season re-starts so you can dvr from the beginning... call it story research...
Mod
Laughing Out Loud!!
Mod
A lot of CW's stuff is on Netflix, so I was hopeful...but alas, DENIED! Is this its first season??
Yes, first season is going to wrap soon... Damn he will make a fine Brig... Brig seems to be really growing on me all the sudden.
oh yeah, even as Alex he is channeling Rein... remember tho this is at least 2 years old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neKHW...
I don't like that Opal... to frumpy (good lady and all but no fire) How about Frances Sternhagen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0827973/ she is kindness to the bone, but has that mysterious glint in her eye...
Mod
This is why I love hearing what readers think...It would have never occurred to me to think of Jim Caviezel. Yes, he'd make a fantastic Sovereign!
Mod
Oh, I like this one, too. She's got a great smile.
Now I need to find Issac, because as much as I LOVE Karl Urban, he is Holden in Liz's Guardian Trilogy, and I won't share LOL! Besides Issac is blond and Karl just looks better with dark hair. hmmm how about Chris Hemsworth http://www.imdb.com/media/rm208278041... yes, that will do... I can see him with a sword.

Mod
Oh wow! He's exactl..."
I KNOW, right? I'm totally hung up on him as Brig now. *gives Chris high-five*
honestly he will really shine as an Ancient... Ps Brig will need to take his shirt off more
Mod
Got it. *makes note: Chris needs more Brig torso*
It is not for me... It is for the rest of them ;-)
SO if we are all agreeing on Stephan A for Brig we have to fix Shannon, I <3 Nathan AND Viggo but neither work for me on this... and I think that since we are high five-ing on it I have to let Ben Stone go as Rein because Stephen is 6 years older... *sigh* that one will take a while to let go of. Maybe it will come to me in a dream LOL
Mod
Any dream-time epiphanies??
Mod
Chris, you're so sweet, always thinking of the greater good!! *grin*
I think that maybe I want Thomas Jane for Shannon. He would give that strong father figure for Brig, and I bet he looks great in boots. Since I am being forced to change Rein I choose Hayden Christensen. I think, I reserve the right to vacillate, I really still want Ben. (or Orlando Bloom, but that seems too obvious)
So sadly I think that Jeremy Renner would look too old to be Hamilton :-( What about Wes Bentley?
this is hard LOL *sigh*
Mod
Since I am being forced to change Rein I choose Hayden Chri..."
Okay - so I LOVE Thomas Jane for Shannon. And Shannon reappears in the fourth book, so it's definitely an important character to cast! *wink*
NOOOOO, not Hayden Christensen!! I'm so prejudiced here - I'll never be able to think of him as anything but The Future Mr. Darth Vader! (Ohmygosh, he probably hates it when people say that. I'm a terrible person.)
It's so funny that you mention Orlando - we just watched Pirates with the kiddos last night and I was reminded what a fun actor he is to watch. There's definitely potential there.
Hamilton is a bit older than Rein, but I get your point about JR. I think Wes Bentley is a fine choice! The dark hair's just right.
Links for those of you who don't know who these fellas are ('cause I didn't recognize all the names at first):
Thomas Jane - http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...
Hayden Christensen http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...
Orlando Bloom http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...
Jeremy Renner https://www.google.com/search?q=jerem...
Wes Bentley http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h...
dammit woman you are killin' me ;-) Hayden has that looking up to you with head still down look DOWN> A must have for my beloved... I mean Rein. But fine fine whatever... back to work! And honestly when I told Liz how much I liked the book (she was the one who sent me to them) I told her Rein was your "Legolas" (hot blond with a bow), So I feel guilty using Orlando... Give me an overly obsessive minute to regroup.
Mod
Okay, first of all, I had no idea Liz had read Shrilugh, or that she was recommending it to people. This totally makes my day because I small kine adore her. *happy sigh*
I think we're close to finding the right Rein...just dig down deep, give it 110% and all that crap. *grin*
Hey, how's your weekend going?
dang it I want this man... http://www.imdb.com/media/rm155678848... I mean for Rein... yeah for Rein.Ummm ok it can not be Jenson Ackels no matter how much I love him http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/jensen-ac...
it can not be Brian Smith (too Briggy) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1668284/?r...
it can not be Anton Yelchin (too young) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0947338/
it can not be Henry Hopper, he is to yum, I mean young http://www.zimbio.com/photos/Henry+Ho...
it can not be Chris Pines because Rein's middle name will never be Tiberius. http://comicrelated.com/news/18651/ch...
*sigh*

At the risk of casting Kristen as Bella all over again and ruining things with actors who can't act... HOLY COW This could be him... Mathias Lauridsenhttp://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fa...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_...
yeah, I am not looking any further, I need a smoke.
Mod
*grin*
Hitting the hay now. Will be back and wittier than ever tomorrow.
oh no, these ARE the droids I was looking for... ;-) My work here is done until you give me another book LOL I have decided I don't care if he can act, tie him to the chair, it will work :-D
Mod
*grin*
I mentioned this in the other thread, but I'm still attached to Matt Barr as Rein: https://www.google.com/search?q=matt+...
I am gonna have to write my own book then because this man is STUCK in my brain!
Mod
Yes, please. :)
Mod
Hi Crystal! Doesn't he make a DELICIOUS Rein??
Myndi wrote: "Crystal wrote: "I agree that Matt Barr is Rein."Hi Crystal! Doesn't he make a DELICIOUS Rein??"
Yes, he is perfect!
I also like Julianne Moore for Gemma. And I agree with Stephen A for Brig.
I have to finish the second book before I can make any other decisions I think.

:) Happy reading!
What do you think? Do you have hotties (aka actors) or divas (aka actresses) in mind when you read the books!
Do share! Inquiring minds want to know!
