ArcticFox Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 The theater goes dark, the screen shows only the blackness of space with a few stars sprinkled around... A voiceover begins: "The conquest of the stars was nearly complete." The black background begins to change, the shape of the Imperial Two-Headed Eagle begins to emerge. "The greatest warriors in the galaxy were near their final goal." The Imperial Aquila is now clearly visible against the starry background "But treachery was closer." The Aquila cracks in half. Then a series of scenes flashes... Zoe Saldana as Mersadie Oliton: "Is it true that you feel no fear?" Ian McNeice as Ignace Karkasy: "Won't you have a drink with me?" Renee Zellweger as Euphrati Keeler "Everything we've been told is a lie." Ioan Gruffudd as "Little Horus" Aximand "It seems our brothers call for aid." Jason Isaacs as Lord Commander Eidolon "How dare you speak to me in that manner!" Tim Roth as Lucius "Oh come on, Saul, you know you can't top me." Ed Harris as Saul Tarvitz "Set those charges!" Roland Kickinger as Tarik Torgaddon "Let's clean this mess up." Sean Connery as Kyril Sindermann "These pages contain tales long forgotten." Vin Diesel as Ezekyle Abaddon: "Garvi, welcome to the Mournival." Dolph Lundgren as Garviel Loken "Jubal, answer me!" and Duane "The Rock" Johnson as Horus "My father left me to finish his work." HORUS RISING "In theaters everywhere this Summer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 ^Ew. The only ones I agree with are Jason Isaacs and Tim Roth as Emperor's Children, and maybe Connery as Malcador the Sigilite or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT Diesel as Abaddon?! No. :P The way you played out the intro was cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Engel Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Michael Dorn as Angron. Think of him yelling as Worf, add some volume. It sounds AWESOME. I'd like to see Daniel Craig as Saul Tarvitz. Christopher Lee as Malcador the Sigilite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Tyrak Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 The theater goes dark, the screen shows only the blackness of space with a few stars sprinkled around... . . . and all the Brits in the audience suddenly realise that they're not watching the stage version starring Patrick Stewart. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofwaranddeath Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 ok, EC Jason Isaacs-Eidolon-He was practically born to play this role! Sean Bean-Lucius-Someone, who at first can be a good guy, but easily fall prey to evil Russell Crowe-Saul Tarvitz-No explanation needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Jason Isaacs = Fulgrim himself I mean come on, that guy is the most Emperor's Childreny guy there ever was.

SpecialIssue Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 With all that new-fangled tech wizadry showcased in the film Avatar (which I just saw, Dragons vs. gunships=win) the thought of actors actually playing SMs isn't as far fetched as it seemed to be... Anyway, what GW/BL needs to do to create a HH movie is to crush the entire story down into three LoTR sized books, then squish THAT down into three 3 hr movies like LoTR- which is the major hurdle I see...

ArcticFox Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I gotta go against the grain here and stick to my guns on Jason Isaacs. He should be Eidolon, not Fulgrim. Here's what I mean... Think of Jason Isaacs not just as Malfoy, but also as Tavington from The Patriot. That guy just oozed smugness, arrogance and vindictiveness, and is the most Eidolon character ever. Jason Isaacs nailed it. Fulgrim, on the other hand, was more like the pretty boy of the Primarchs and not so much arrogant as vain. If I were going to cast someone as Fulgrim, I think it would be Malcolm McDowell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathTyrant Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I gotta go against the grain here and stick to my guns on Jason Isaacs. He should be Eidolon, not Fulgrim. I am with you on this. He has really steely, powerful eyes, and a powerful, handsome visage altogether, but I wouldn't say that he has the 'beauty' to pull off Fulgrim. Lord Commander Eidolon would indeed be a good role for him. http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/51/jasonisaacs.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I would have: The Emperor: Someone Authoritative and charming, yet capable of terrible rage. Not Sean Connery: 'They shall be my finesht warriorsh, They are my Shpashe Marinesh' Possibly Clive Owen, but with make up and lightinng to make him older. Rogal Dorn: Sean Connery may perofrm this role Sanquinius: Orlando Bloom Lion'El'Jonson: Johnny Depp Horus: Alan Rickman (Snape from Harry Potter) Fulgrim: Orlando Bloom again. Or maybe even Lucius Malfoy. Abaddon: Daniel Craig Roboute Guilliman: James Gandolfini Vulkan: Morgan Freeman Leman Russ: A Scot. Possibly Gerard Butler. Jaghatai Khan: Chow Yun Fat Malcador The Sigillite: Ian Mackellen And finally, the one I am most proud of, Peter Capaldi as Angron. Youtube 'malcolm tucker freaks out' to gain an idea of his rage.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 See, I agree with you guys about Jason Isaacs, but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be anyone to top him as Fulgrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emperor's Champion Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Nah, Ledger would have been good to play SOMEONE, but not the Night Haunter himself. I imagine Night Haunter to be a combination of Nathan Explosion(visually), Gollum(proportionally), Batman(actionwise), and Ledger's Joker(personalitywise). In my mind that's just an insane individual, but I can't even imagine who could play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
