I think if a series was made it would be better done in the style of the DoW intros, with CGI and voice actors instead of real life action. I think, finding actors that have the right voice and look the part would be too hard to find or end up being too expensive. Most of the answers on that thread relate more to appearance than voice. I think the end result could be more convincing with a CGI/voice acting mix.

I think the end result could be more convincing with a CGI/voice acting mix. Ah gotcha. It seemed like the thread might go in that direction - it's just easier to base a decision off the visual rather than just their voices. Also keep in mind that with animated things they do sometimes try to convey some of the actors facial expression into the artwork. But yes, I think CGI might be a good way to go both for the topic of the thread and the actual movie.

Pope Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I can see Idris Elba as Vulkan. Christian Bale as Alpharius Omegon, just by the sheer fact he CAN throw himself into any role. Michael Fassbender could go as either Fulgrim or Sanguinus IMO.

Chaplain ChonkE Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If HH was an HBO series the first season would be epic beyond anything we could likely imagine capturing the essence of Warhammer perfectly. Then the next seasons would get bogged down and muddled with random rewrites, more focus on random boob shots than storyline, new characters and plots would be brushed over, the cinematography would be too dark to make out what is going on in the scene and the plot would exclude all the nastiness of a world given over to chaos such as wanton beat, torture and generalized Vandal-like behavior for more sex scenes. People would then talk about how great the second season was and it will make a small tear well up at the corner of my eye.

Qarassen Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Leman Russ - Peter Stormare ;) 100 % agree! :) I agree that this should be a CGI like the DoW intros.. Or like "The lord inquisitor".

TennisBall Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 HBO? no no no! Emperor: What do you want from me, I can't be what you want me to be. I, I just can't... Silent sister: [sob*]But I love you! We could go away together, be together... Emperor: I can't dammit. Another life maybe, but I have responsibilities, people who rely on me. Slient sister: What about me?!! I thought we had something special, I gave up my vows for you. Emperor: I have to go Silent sister: I'm pregnant... *actual sob, not sister of battle reference Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257141-what-if-horus-heresy-movie-chainhbo-series/page/2/#findComment-3133454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleal Baros Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ok I've been tempted into it. Lets say money isn't an issue and we have Peter Jackson for the next ten years I'd love to see a cast something like; The Emperor – The Sigilite – Anthony Hopkins Horus – Russell Crowe Fulgrim - Jason Isaacs El'Jonson - Jeremy Irons Dorn - Michael Fassbender Corax – Christian Bale Curz – Ralph Fiennes Khan - Ken Watanabe Guilliman – James Purefoy Lorgar – Angron - Mickey Rourke Mortarian - Perturabo - Alpharius and Omegon- Joseph Gordon Levitt/Heath Ledger (shame) Vulcan – Lance Reddick Magnus – Damian Lewis Russ – Sanguinius – Alex Pettyfer Ferrus – Tom Hardy Aximan - Abbadon - Ron Perlman Loken - Sam Worthington Torgaddon - Ray Stevenson Iacton Qruze - Sean Connery Erebus – Ben Kingsly Garro – Ed Harris Lucius - Jonathan Rhys Meyers Tarvitz – Leonardo Dicaprio Ahriman – Liam Neeson Karkasy – Michael Sheen Sindermann – John Hurt Keeler - Thandie Newton I also don't think it could go wrong with a Trent Reznor soundtrack.

What you guys think? I would have Sean Bean for Dorn, Tom Hiddlestone for Lorgar and have Michael Fassbender for Alpharius and Omegon. Not sure if Russel Crowe could display the amount of charisma needed to be Horus. Those aside, not bad.

Raven Angel Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 You know if you want someone high energy and able to go normal to nuts pick Tom Cruze as Horus. Afterall wouldn't that kinda be art imitating life in a warped sort of way?

Grimtooth Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Leman Russ - Liev Schreiber We have already seen what he looks like feral when he played Sabertooth, now just make it lupine instead of feline.

Captain Idaho Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thing is, it ain't just appearances. Liev Schreiber, for example, just ain't that bombastic or ferocious.

Gaius Atticus Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know Liam Neeson is seen as a good person to play the big E, but doesn't this scene remind you of Guilliman talking to Lorgar at Calth?: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257141-what-if-horus-heresy-movie-chainhbo-series/page/2/#findComment-3134534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apothecary Vaddon Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Oh, yes it does. Imagine Neeson doing his best Ra's voice, then adding a vicious baritone-style undercurrent to it, and I can see Guilliman.

ColonelCommissar Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Jason Isaacs isn't enough of a pretty boy to pull off Fulgrim. Perhaps not, but his voice would be perfect for CGI, just the right amount of arrogance.

Chaplain ChonkE Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Thing is, it ain't just appearances. Liev Schreiber, for example, just ain't that bombastic or ferocious. I think he would be an awesome Perturabo or Mortarion. He was really good in the movie 'Defiance'; I could totally see him simmering darkly in the background till... 'SPLODE crush your face and spine with much angry satisfaction and declare "I am the better brother," looking down on Dorn while hefting a Thunder Hammer with a head the size of a rhino over his shoulder. Some reason I think Guilliman I always see Russell Crowe and when I see Dorn I always think of Stephen Lang. I am not sure Angron could be done justice unless the movie/series was all done GI Joe(toon)/A-Team/ series non-violent style and only Angron, Kurze, Russ and sometimes Sanguinius (guys gotta eat) would be ripping arms out and heads off. I have always imagined Christopher Walken in his King of New York 'Frank White' character as Kurze. Walken/Kurze: If you guys are selling a lho-stik in the hab park, I want in. The I just got out of jail dance in power armor ala Walken would be wonderful as well.

Crimson Hawk Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 like hobbits .... Remembrancers :P I think Cleal Baros has it pretty much figured out, only I would have Christopher Lee as Malcador, Christopher Ecclestone as Logar, and Gerald Butler as Russ. Also, if history's anything to go by, Sean Pertwee will find his way in somehow :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257141-what-if-horus-heresy-movie-chainhbo-series/page/2/#findComment-3138235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Jason Isaacs would be PERFECT for Fulgrim! His role in the Patriot totally sold me on this point he can exude such arrogance and look down his nose at those around him and he is a freaking good actor lol.
