Retribution Falls/Related Discussion/Casting Call!

[Kirsty, Jedi Master]

Who would you cast in a film of Retribution Falls? Do you think it would translate to film well?

How about audiobook adaptation? Anyone you'd eye up purely on voice?

I kind of want to say Nathan Fillion to narrate the audiobook, just because of the Firefly comparisons. :P

[Paul, A wanderer in unknown realms]

Very good idea :-)

[Andrew]

I pictured Colin O'Donoghue, who plays Hook in Once Upon A Time, and I suppose a mix of Gerrard from Magic: The Gathering (who...looks a lot like Colin O'Donoghue), as Frey.

I pictured Alyn Tudyk for Crake, though quite differently than Wash, in spite of the Firefly similarities.

Everyone else I believe was more a unique conjuring in my mind, I would need to think more on it for casting :)

LOL That could work, though I wonder if he can pull off a believable range of voices, especially for females. More than a few audiobooks have fallen flat for me because of this, in spite of otherwise clear delivery with a smooth voice in general narration.

Cold be a mile off tack but I've been picturing Jez as Ellen Page .

Harrison Ford 40 years ago for Frey, Danny McBride as Pinn, I think Alan Tudyk would be great for Crake, John C. Reilly as Hawkins, I picture Silo as Jamaican but could kinda picture Vin Diesel in that role. And if you could get the right moustache on him John Goodman as Malvery. I'll second Ellen Page as a decent Jez.

[Andrew]

Wow, I'm loving all these casting choices! :D I'm gonna try reading with these in mind, but I'm keeping my Frey haha

[Ryan]

I love John Goodman. Definitely right for Malvery.

For some reason John Turturro is shouting at me as having to be cast in a film version, not entirely sure who as though, maybe Pinn?

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

I can totally see him as Harkins

[Ryan]

I'm listening to this on audiobook, and all the crew are voiced as Brits (the narrator is English) except for Frey who has an American accent and Jez, who inexplicably sounds Australian.

I can see that.

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

I think that Turturro could pull off that manic anxiety that Hawkins has really well
