This might have already been here. Couldn't find it so here it goes...
If..!! If a movie is ever made on this gem, who would you love to see playing the characters? Here's my possible list:
Dalinar: Liam Neeson
Adolin: Orlando Bloom / Chris Hemsworth
Sadeas: Mark Strong
Navani: Catherine Zeta Jones
Jasnah: Natalie Portman / Rosamund Pike
Shallan: Emma Stone / Jennifer Lawrence
Kaladin: Can't think of anyone who is around 19 and would be able to justify his character.
Wit: Benedict Cumberbatch / Nathan Fillion
What do you guys think?

It is interesting how different people imagine the charactes. Most of them are supposed to have darker skin and blue eyes. Not so easy to find, so some compromises are necessary.
My cast:
Dalinar: Bryan Cranston
Kaladin: Jan Uddin or Avan Jogia
Shallan: Sophie Turner or Ivana Baquero
Adolin: Theo James
Jasna: Priyanka Chopra
Sadesas: Sean Bean
Renarin: Masam Holden
Wit: David Tennant
Syl: Ksenia Solo
Lopen: Mackenzie Crook
Rock: Deobia Oparei
Moash: Max Irons
Teft: Sam Trammell
Elhokar: Ben Barnes
Navani: Sarah Parish
Kabsal: Eugene Simon
Amaram: Alexander Siddig
Szeth: Elijah Wood
Echonai: Danai Gurira
Bightlord (forgot his name, the one Shallan stays with: Timothy Spall
Some scribes/ Adolin's girlfriends: Jessica Parker Kennedy, Nathalie Emmanuel
And Mahesh Jadu should be in it somehow.

I think Liam Neeson would be awesome as Dalinar. There would have to be someone who makes contact lenses full time to change the cast's eye colors.
Lol. Personally, I keep imagining David Tennant as Wit, mostly because of his performance as Hamlet (ca. 2009 with Patrick Stewart as Claudius), really funny, especially when Hamlet's (maybe) pretending to be crazy.
My take in the casting:
Dalinar: Liam Neeson is a good choice.
Adolin: Henry Cavil / Alex Pertyfur / Chris Evans (I did a lot of research on this one)
Sadeas: Rufus Sewell / William Dafoe
Navani: Monica Belucci
Jasnah: Racheal Weis / jessica Connely
Shallan: Emma Stone
Kaladin: Rupert Friend / Tom Felton / Hayden Christiensen
Wit: James Marsden

Kaladin: Rupert Friend / Tom Felton / Hayden Christiensen

Kaladin: Jeremy Irvine. Or, maybe Kit Harington
Shallan: I instantly thought of Saoirse Ronan for Shallan; maybe Sophie Turner?
Dalinar: My personal favorite is Sean Bean
Adolin: Maybe Max Irons?
Sadeas: Cary Elwes
Elhokar: Richard Madden
Renarin: Asa Butterfield
Jasnah: Eva Green
Navani: Monica Bellucci
Syl: Bella Heathcoat
Wit: David Tennant!

Indeneri, you nailed it, I guess. Apart from your choices for Kaladin, I would love to watch all other actors playing the parts. Specially Jennifer Connelly, James Marsden, Henry Cavil (perfect for Adolin)... How about Kevin Spacey for Sadeas?
Guys. The only white character in all of The Stormlight Archive (so far) is Szeth. The only one. Why all the white actors?
Granted, the races don't match real races directly, but the Alethi should generally look Indian, more or less (though with pronounced epicanthic folds, which tends to be rare among Indians).
That said, I always imagined Sebarial as Ray Stevenson. But still, he's an Indian/Asian Ray Stevenson because that's what these characters look like.

Franziska, your selection is amazing! I love the actress you choose to play Jasnah
I think major of us imagine the character like white people haha
I´ve tried hard to follow Brandon´s description, but I cant stop imagine Kaladin as a blond man
