BlueBelly1863 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yup uhm... BCK wins. Admins close the thread. It's over. We have our cast of Primarchs, as well as supporting characters. I almost like that list even more than the Primarch cast list. Almost.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm glad most people like my choices. I know not everyone will agree with everything and I appreciate the level of civility in the criticism and disagreements on choices so far. I've seen these kinds of threads several times here at the B&C and elsewhere on the internet, and being a total movie dork I've almost always thought I could come up with better choices, so I decided that this time I would actually put my movie knowledge to work for me. Funny thing is, I didn't even notice how many actors from the other side of the pond I was picking until I showed a friend and he made mention of it. I still have more to go! I'm not going to do all of the characters from the HH novels, but I'm going to get as many of the major characters as I can.

b1soul Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 My two cents... Young Brad Pitt as Sanguinius http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/daily/2015/10/01/01-long-hair-men.w529.h352.jpg The guy who played Hogun in Thor would be a good one for Khan (with the right hair and beard) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4494350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanceqi Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 IMHO Mark Strong is a suitable choice for Talos the soul hunter. BTW, Michael McElhatton for Macharion the war sage and Iwan Rheon as Vandred the exalted will be AWSOME!

Brother Captain Kezef Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Sean Bean as Ferrus Manus He is an awesome actor and dying is pretty much part of his contract.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I don't mean because he dies a lot in movies, but he's a good actor, can play a total dickwad (and let's face it, Ferrus wasn't winning any Primarch of the Year awards), and he has that beat up look like he's never seen a bar fight he didn't like.

Aye and he's a good character actor, he never plays Sean Bean, he plays the character. I love Sean Bean's range, one of his best roles was Equilibrium. A problem with some American actors is they can't go beyond their own personality. Tom Cruise is a good example, whatever movie he is in, he always plays Tom Cruise.

Halandaar Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Mark Strong looks NOTHING like Roboute Guilliman. Daniel Craig is actually a far superior choice. Daniel Craig only looks more like the image of Guilliman than Mark Strong in the sense that he's already blond :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4494491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Rogal Dorn - Liam Neeson Corvus Corax - Christian Bale Ferrus Manus - Jon Bernthal Vulkan - Idris Elba Alpharius and Omegon - Jeremy and Jason London (real life twin actors playing the twins) I love Tom Hiddleston as Curze, but I have another suggestion (if he were younger): Michael Wincott Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4494534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Alpharius and Omegon: Gary and Martin Kemp Russ: Travis Fimmel Curze: Christopher Walken (shudder) Gulliman: Leonardo DiCaprio Fairly sure Ian McShane, Vicent Cassel, Shemar Moore, Cillian Murphy, and Hugo Weaving could be a job too.

MrFlutterPie Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I would cast Leroy Jenkins (of youtube fame) in a cameo role as Ollanius Pious.

Dantay VI Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I would go with Travis Fimmel over the GoT wildling guy. Mainly because Russ was never described as bearded. GoT wildling guy might make a good Bjorn though Otherwise BCK is pretty spot on Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4495448 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I still have more to go! I'm not going to do all of the characters from the HH novels, but I'm going to get as many of the major characters as I can. Your pick for Sigismund MUST be known. I must have it!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I love Tom Hiddleston as Curze, but I have another suggestion (if he were younger): Michael Wincott I've been trying to find a good fit for Michael Wincott. I've been a fan since Robin Hood Russ: Travis FimmelFairly sure Ian McShane, Vicent Cassel, Shemar Moore, Cillian Murphy, and Hugo Weaving could be a job too. Honestly, I don't think Travis Fimmel is all that. Aside from that "I'm fething crazy, look at my crazy eyes" stare he has, I don't believe he brings much else to the table as an actor. Several of the others you mentioned will be making appearances. I would go with Travis Fimmel over the GoT wildling guy. Mainly because Russ was never described as bearded. The thing about Russ, as I see him, is that he puts on this show of being a crazy barbarian or savage when he needs to because it serves a purpose, but behind closed doors he's completely different. I chose Kristofer Hivju because he can pull off that same crazy look and then immediately turn it off. Your pick for Sigismund MUST be known. I must have it! Oh wow, no offense to IF fans, but I completely forgot about Sigismund. To be honest, I haven't read all of the HH novels and I don't remember reading much with Dorn or the Fists in it, but I'll start thinking on that. Coming up soon is more Legion characters and other non-Legion ones like some of the remembrancers.

Soldier of Dorn Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I really have nothing to say, since BCK seems to have covered almost all of it (very well, I might add,) except this: Burn Gorman. As either a particularly malevolent Night Lord (maybe Sheng?) or Fabius Bile (maybe? Though David Straitharn fits very well.) http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/37000000/Game-of-Thrones-game-of-thrones-37013283-245-317.gif (I couldn't find a very good still image that conveys the absolute malevolence he can convey, but this GIF comes close. If you've seen Game of Thrones, as I suspect a good number of people here have, you should have some idea.) Of course, I'm a bit biased, seeing as I've been a huge fan of his since Torchwood. I really love his acting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4495624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Kage, your primarch list is super solid. I wasn't sold on Angron, but the more I think on it, the more I like. Can't help but feel like there's still a stronger choice out there. Hrm. Chris Pine as Sang though? I'd rather go with Jeames Dean: Dipping back into time I'd also choose Brando for Horus over Jude Law. He's got the charisma 100%: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4495626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Sorry, but James Dean is a terrible, terrible actor in my opinion. The way I see Sanguinius is not that he's the most charismatic (Horus), the prettiest (Fulgrim), the greatest tacticians (Dorn, Perturabo), etc, but that he can do everything really well. Every time I tried to think of who would be good for that role, Chris Pine kept popping into my head.

bluntblade Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 - Andy Serkis as Mortarion (you'd have to mo-cap anyway for the Primarchs and Astartes, so why not cast the best in the business) - Maurice Kebbel as Angron - Paul Bettany as Garviel Loken - Ian McKellen as Sinderman - Rutger Hauer as Rogal Dorn - Ralph Fiennes as Horus (just watch his Coriolanus) - Iko Uwais as Shiban Khan - Michael Fassbender as Shadrak Meduson Whoever said Cillian Murphy as Argel Tal - oh yes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325578-movie-casting-for-hh/page/2/#findComment-4495701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 While my mind's on this track, Scarlett Johansson as Euphrati Keeler and Helen Mirren as Ilya Ravallion.
