Casting the Lore

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Which actors would you pick to play certain characters in the Immortals After Dark books?

[Ilse]

Hey D, My friend and I discussed this actually earlier in the year.
we decided on Gerhard Butler for Lachlian. And Scarlette Johanson for Emma.
Natalie Portman for Neomi (Cornrad's Bride) and maybe Sam Winchester (from the supernatural series) as Conrad. But that's as far as we got.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

That's a good list, Ilse. I've cast some of the characters, but not others:

Sebastian: Ioan Gruffudd
Kaderin: Mena Suvari
Emmaline: Amy Smart
Lochlain: Steve Basic
Nikolai: Mads Mikkelson (as he looked in King Arthur as Tristan)
Myst: Kadee Strickland (I think she's on Private Practice right now, but she was in the sequel to Anaconda)
Conrad: Steven Strait (but I could see Jared Padalecki as Conrad too)
Noemi: Kate Beckinsale
Nix: Joleen Blaylock with dark hair
Mariketa: Dallas Bryce Howard
Bowen: Eric Etebari (played Nottingham on Witchblade show on TNT)
Cadeon: ??????
Holly: ??????
Sabine: ??????
Rydstrom: ???????
Garreth: ???????
Lucia: ???????
Daniela: ?????????
Murdoch: Dougray Scott
Regin: Peta Wilson (played La Femme Nikita)
Aidan the Fierce: Ray Stevenson
Lucienda the Siren: Kristanna Loken

Have you checked out the videos on Utube that fans have put together for the casting of the immortals after dark series there pretty cool, I like Dougray Scott for Murdoch I never thought of him great choice.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Oh!!! I didn't know they had any! Thanks, Tori. I haven't read Deep Kiss of Winter, but he seems like a good Murdoch. Do you have any thoughts on casting?

Please do not be afraid to choose other folks from the ones posted already. We'd love to see what everyone thinks. Feel free to pics as well.

[Tori]

Her are some of the people I thought about when reading the books :)

Emmaline- Sophia Myles
Lachlain- Eric Bana
Kaderin - Keira Knightley
Sebastin- Jack Huston
Nikolai- Christian Bale
Myst - Reese Witherspoon
Neomi- Kate bekinsale (is perfect suggestion)
Conrad- Henry Cavill
Nix - Rachel Evan Wood
Holly- Anna Paquin
Cadeon- Jensen Ackles
Bowen- Gerard Butler
Mariketa- Amy Adams
Sabine- Angelina Jolie
Rydstrom- Hugh Jackman

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Ooh. I love your list! I'll have to look up Jack Huston. I don't know him. Excellent suggestions!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Here is the link to a good video on You Tube with casting suggestions.

I hope that others will post their thoughts!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

I looked up Jack Huston. Yum!

[Tori]

I love that video its really well put together, glad you like the choices wish they'd make a series now :)

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

That would be very nice. It would have to be on HBO or somewhere because it's very sexy. :)

Wow, whoever put that video together did a great job! The guy she picked for Murdoch is Gabriel Aubry, right? Lordy, that man is beautiful beyond words. *_*

Not sure I agree with some of the male choices (didn't mind the female picks) but that was a lovely video--thanks for the link Danielle!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

You're welcome, Auntee. There's always someone in those videos that I'm like, NO Way!

[Ez]

Personally, I didn't like her choice of Eric Bana as Bowen. I prefer your choice of Eric Etebari, Danielle. That is one good-looking man.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

I really miss seeing Eric Etebari. He was smoking hot as Nottingham!

[Auntee]

Do you have a pic of Eric E? I don't know who he is..

[Ez]

Auntee, here are a few pics:

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Ooh, nice!

[Mariel]

I couldn't help but notice how similar the character Emma on Glee is to Holly. Maybe she wouldn't mind some typecasting.

[Ez]

I really like Emma. Watching her is definitely like seeing Holly in action. LOL.

That works for me--thanks!!

[Anisa]

Definitely agree with Amy Adams for Mariketa.

[Anisa]

Ahhhh and Alexander Skarsgard is just perfect for King Kristoff who I think should be with Nix!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Ooh, I like Alexander as Kristoff! I can't wait to read his book!

[Ashley]

Here's a really good one!!!

You must be part foreseer because with her new ballerina movie, Natalie postman seems perfect!

[Annie]

The girls and I at our blog made this cast for IAD. What do you think?? http://underthecoversbookblog.blogspo...

[Auntee]

Wow, what a terrific job! Very nice--love the picks (and pics)!

[Annie]

LOL, thanks Auntee!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

I'm working on my Pinboard for the IAD. I'm having fun!

Love all the cast you all have posted. @ Lady Danielle, your pintest book is awesome. Love you ideas of the characters.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Thanks, Jessica!

[Ren Puspita]

Love the Pinterest board, Lady D! Agreed with Chris Hemsworth as Aidan the Fierce. But last night after re-read Dreams of a Dark Warrior, for Declan Chase,I pick Tom Hardy.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Thanks, Ren. Oh, Tom is a hottie!!!

[Sahara]

Wow *jaw drops* Danielle you did an AMAZING job. I love it...now please don't hate me *batting eyelashes* pretty please...okay here it goes. The only thing I don't like is Kit Harington as Conrad Wroth. Please don't hate me!

i love your board! i'm following you now. :-)

[Kathy]

Lady Danielle - I love your board and I'm following you now!

I would add actor Manu Bennett to your list! He's from Spartacus and Arrow. He would be perfect as one of the demons (maybe Malkom or Rydstrom).

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

Thanks, Kathy! It will be interesting to see what a reread brings to mind as far as characters.

Good call Kathy! I didn't know that actors name but had seen him around. I agree about him "being" one of the demons. I would say Malkom just cause he seems a bit more rough around the edges than I picture Rydstrom.

You know Manu had a recurring role on the show Arrow. I love him!

[Erin]

oooohhh I LOVE this kinda stuff! Being a casting director must have been my job in another life-or this life perhaps :P
I'll only put down the characters I actually have cast :P

A HUNGER LIKE NO OTHER.
Emmaline: Emilie De Ravin
Lachlain:--I have no clue...I want an ACTUAL Scottish guy to play him-in my head-but I can never find anyone GOOD enough-P.s Lachlain is obviously my favorite. So, I'd like if anyone had some suggestions.

LOTHAIRE
Lothaire: Paul Marron...Duhhh
Elizabeth Peirce: Emmy Rossum

NUCKING FUTS NIX
Nix: Emilia Clarke-Brunette not the blonde wig thing she wears for GOT.

MACRIEVE
Chloe Webb:Keira Knightley(I blame Bend It Like Beckham.)
Uilleam MacRieve: Tom Mison
Munro MacRieve:(as they ARE twins)Tom Mison

DREAMS OF A DARK WARRIOR
Regin, The Radient: Claire Dunes in Stardust-cause she glows n'shiz. :P

DARK NEEDS AT NIGHT'S EDGE
Naomi Laress: Audrey Tautou

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Honorary Lorean]

I love casting books as movies too, Erin. I am glad I found Pinterest, because it helps me to do it a lot easier. Before I had to make Power Point slides.

Your casting choices are good!

Great Nix. I lurve her.

[[deleted user]]

Lachlain for me is none other than Gerard Butler circa 300 with Emily rossum as emmaline. Though it gets tricky from here because Elizabeth pierce looks like Emily rossum as well. Stephen Amell is cadeon, (rydstrom's younger brother)

Must is an imaginary Charlize Theron with sultry deep red hair.
