I'm sure this has been done before and it might seem trivial, but if a movie was to be made from the Prism Pentant Series, who would play who.

I thought that Vin Disel would suit Rilkus well, although he'd have to trim up a bit

and Steve Buchemi for Tithian

This has been done four or five times at least. Dig a little in the archives and you shall find that you´re not the first to suggest Vin for that role. The fact that he is a roleplayer doesn´t make him a less likely candidate either.

I said Steve Buchmi because he's kinda weasily...but I can't think of a better choice.

Neil Patrick Harris would make a great Tithian IMO. I know he is really only known for doing comedy and stuff- but I think he wold be great as a bad guy!

Vin Disel? Just because his head is already shaven is no reason to cast him as Rikus. A gladiator fights in the arena for an audience. Who could be better than the Rock to play Rikus? Angelina Jolie as Sadira would be good. As for Tithian, maybe John Travolta. He does evil well.

Actually, for Tithian, you'd maybe want someone charismatic, who can look the part of being a benificant leader, but on the inside is evil. Travolta might be able to do that, but he's not played many good guys recently...

I suggested Vin Disel for Rikus because both of them seem like meatheads (I'm currently re-reading the Pentant after almost 10 yearrs)

Travolta would have to be my absolute last pick to play this role!!!- I would pick a stick figure first!

I think Joaquin Phoenix would be perfect for Tithian

Max von Sydow -> Kalak
Angelina Jolie -> Neeva
Joaquin Phoenix -> Agies
Vin Diesel -> Rikus
Neil Patrick Harris -> Tithian
Rebecca Romijn ->Sadira

Keep the rock away from Rikus, he'll do that dambed eyebrow thing

Great idea for Kalak! But I have to admit that I like The Rock...but I like wrestling, so who am I to ask.

Too old?...
May be its just the way I invisioned him but I saw someone that looked like a stiff breaze would have broken him due to his age and frailty... all an illusion of cource but non the less. I always saw an old man... Then there was the ilistrations in the Freedom flip book.

Vin is actually very intelligent, more than his characters would lead you to believe.

I always thought of muls in general (and Rickus specifically) as being more thick in the neck.

Agis - Ioan Gruffudd (Mr Fantastic, Lancelot)
Which makes me think Jessica Alba would look good as Sadira, of course, you would probably want someone who can ACT as well as look good. I think Romijn-Stamos and Jolie are both a little older than I would cast Sadira. She always struck me as younger. Maybe it is the idealism and selfishness, bad choices, etc. I'd go with Keira Knightly for Sadira.
For Neeva older is ok, but you gotta have muscles. Something Brigitte Nielson-esque, or Linda Hamilton from T2 would work. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Both Romijn and Jolie are too cute to do Neeva, I think. You need someone rougher.
I do not agree with Steve Bucshemi for Tithian, though I do understand why you chose him. You need a more...hidden...smarminess.
You know, Cary Elwes was wonderful as a smarmy villain in Ella Enchanted. Take away some of the fairy-tale-ness and he would do Tithian well, I think.
I did agree with the choices for Kalak, but I also agree with them being too old. He is old, but he is also riddled with magic, and he was NOT some wus before the transformation. (He killed all the ogres for crying out loud!) Someone older, but strong, and able to do subtle acting (No Schwartzenegger) I vote for Viggo Mortenson.

Agis- Ioan Grufudd
Sadira- Kiera Knightly
Tithian- Cary Elwes
Kalak- Viggo Mortenson

A couple of new suggestions:

Kalak - Jeremy Irons
Agis - Christian Bale

Kalak should be played by whoever played Palpatine in Star Wars.

ok, so gotta point out why I chose who I did, on a couple :D ...

For Agis - Ron Moss is an actor on the soap opera they play on my lunch hour at work, and, quite frankly, this guy IS Agis. Check out the pic...
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/gallery/m/Events/holly_starron081105/67713.html
...you can even see the longer part of his hair in the back is brown, in comparison to the grey streak up front...just like Agis - hee hee...and compare the pic to the cover of the Obsidian Oracle, and...DANG!!!

For Rikus - Nathan Jones is the freakishly buff, and bald, guy who plays Riku....uhh I mean Boagrius in the movie Troy. He's the one that has to fight Brad Pitt's character in one on one combat - in front of a large crowd :D - at the beginning of the movie, and launches into combat by throwing the Heartwoo....uhh I mean a huge javelin/spear-like weapon.

Abalach-Re - Marcia Cross...plays a **** to the "t" and looks evil and inhuman to boot...check out the pic
http://www.hicelebs.com/gallery/marcia_cross/141.html

hmm, maybe more to come...wanna find the pics first

I have to agree with your three picks that you had there squidfur- that dude IS Agis.

I considered Ian, but he just doesn't look evil at all.
