I'd swap the actors for Sturm and Riverwind. Keanu Reeves cannot emote unless it's being a complete airhead like in Bill and Ted's. Giving him an emotional character like Riverwind is beyond his acting abilities. I don't think Milia Jovovich is beefy enough to wield a cast iron frying pan as Tika, I'd put someone like...say...Angie Everhart. Not only does she have a set of pipes but she's got the bod for the role.

Tas - John Lequaziamo (sp?)
Flint - Harvey Kietel (he's got the attitude for it)

I think Angela Dodson would make the perfect Goldmoon. I doubt Russell Crowe could pull of Caramon. Caramon is supposed to be extremely buff. Russell Crowe can not pull that off. I'd say an unknown body builder with acting abilities could pull it off. Maybe Vin Diesel.... maybe not.

Well, you said with acting abilities...so Vin is definitely out right away.

what about you guys?

For now...

I pegged Paul Bettany (Knight's Tale, Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World) as Raistlin.

Rachel McAdam (Meangirls, The Notebook) as Laurana.

Eric Bana (The Incredible Hulk, Troy) as Sturm Brightblade.

Tom Welling (Smallville) as Riverwind.

Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley, A.I.) as Tanis Half-Elven.

Vin Diesel as Verminaard.

Laurana - Sienna Miller/ Laura Harris, but really you'd want to find someone say 18 or so, more along the lines of a blonde Katie Holmes circa her discovery.
Caramon - Russell Crowe,
You know he's a midget right? Right there you're in for a lot of forced perspective photography.

How about a nice Kevin Sorbo for Caramon, and a nice Ted Rami for Raist., Bruce Campbell can do Fizban?

Flint: John Ryes Davis. Leave the dwarfs to the profesionals. Or just gray Crowe's hair by cutting off his booze supply for a week. Presto, angry dwarf, no acting required.

Bruce Campbell could quite possibly pull off each and every one of these rolls.

I think Oded Fehr (the Mummy, Deuce Bigalow) could pull off a good Riverwind or Sturm IMO.

Johnny Depp might make a good Tanis. He's an actor that can pull off any role.

Yeah, I know what you mean but the search function still doesn't work for the new board. So you have to cut people some slack on that account.

"Raistlin - A Broom in red robes voiced by Clint Eastwood" Thats classic

James Earl Jones as the voice of Lord Soth.

Cam Banks as the Third Red Robe From The Left.

-----------------------------------------------

And what about the cast of Friends?

Ross as Raistlin.
Joey as Tanis.
Chandler as Tas.
Monica as Kitiara.
Rachel as Laurana.
Phoebe as Goldmoon.

Imagine the ads...

"First they were friends. Now they are companions."

Tanis walks up to Laurana. "How you doin'?"

Goldmoon in the Inn of the Last Home. Fizban begs her to sing her song, and the crowd thrills to hear....

"Smelly cat, smelly cat...."

Laurana - Sienna Miller/ Laura Harris, but really you'd want to find someone say 18 or so, more along the lines of a blonde Katie Holmes circa her discovery.

Or someone that can pass off as one. Rachel McAdam from Meangirls is an example.


Caramon - Russell Crowe,
You know he's a midget right? Right there you're in for a lot of forced perspective photography.

I'd never figure him for a midget (I'm 5-6) compared to his M&C co-star (and my choice for Raistlin), Paul Bettany.

But I don't think Russell should be in Dragonlance.


How about a nice Kevin Sorbo for Caramon, and a nice Ted Rami for Raist., Bruce Campbell can do Fizban?

Only if Tika and Laurana do a lesbian tease bits, to steal from Xena.

Not really a fan of Kevin Sorbo. Andromeda used to be a good TV series, but since the departure of the very guy who put Roddenberry's notes together to make the series have left the production and Kevin got a much bigger responsibility as a producer of said TV series, the direction of the series pretty much spiraled down into a black hole.


Flint: John Ryes Davis. Leave the dwarfs to the profesionals. Or just gray Crowe's hair by cutting off his booze supply for a week. Presto, angry dwarf, no acting required.

I dunno. I don't like recycling LOTR stars into Dragonlance. I'd rather avoid it at all cost. DL should be its own distinctive film, right down to a very different cast.

Well, its good Ravenmantel said somthing, cause I thought of round two of casting!

Bupu - Ravenmantel (happy;))
Riverwind - Eric Cartman
Voice of Lord Soth - That guy who played Steve Urkel
High Bulp - Korinath (see buddy you get mentioned too!)
Otik - Rogar from "The Gamers"
Raist's Dragon Orb - The volleyball Wilson from "Castaway"
Silvara - Richard Gere
Gilthanas - Mark: The Red from "The Gamers" cause hes only around when hes really needed
Betrem's sister - Mary-Kate and Ashely Olson (of course taking turns)
Random Slaughtered Knights of Solamina - everyone on these boards, and the DragonLance.com boards

Oh come on, it's so obvious:

Tanis - Judd Hirsch
Laurana - Vivica A Fox
Sturm - Richard Chaves
Caramon - Gary Coleman
Raistlin - Gary Coleman
Ariakas - Vanilla Ice
Kitiara - Margaret Rutherford
Tasslehoff - Big Show
Tika - Talia Shire
Gilthanas - Quentin Tarantino
Flint - Michael Madsen
Hederick - Dolph Lundgren
Lord Soth - Paul Reiser
Voice of Lord Soth - Verne Troyer
:D

But seriously, the best way to do the Majere twins (that's twins, hint hint) is to get an actor who can play both. I nominate Christian Bale.

Ariakas - Vanilla Ice

If there was a problem
Yo, I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

--Excerpt from one of Ariakas' victory speeches.

As for the Majere twins, who better than the Olsen twins? :D

Michael J. Fox as Tasslehoff - He's the right size, and he's got experience traveling time.

Christopher Lloyd as Fizban (Great Scott!). Either that, or a tinker gnome.

Tim Conway may also be a good Fizban.

It's too bad that Waylon Jennings passed away. He'd be a great narrator.

And what's this bit about me being Elistan? What, I don't get a role in the Legends movie? ;)

I want the role of Lord Toede. Even though the character will be killed off several times, I'll still be back up for the next movie, book, radio play, or convention appearance. I'll be drawing a paycheck for the rest of my life. ;)

Well This topic has been up so many times that the only thing I will say is this:

Statisticly a DL movie would be a non-us made movie (India is the largest movie producing country in the world),
so for cast:

A buch of unknown non US/non -european actors.


Does anybody know what come out of the negotations between WoTC and the "unknown movie coopration", I must be about a year ago, since I last heard something.

Elsitan's in Legends. Only for like 3 seconds, as he dies though. Nothing like playing a returning character that one of the writers didn't care for is there!

Now come on Amaron, ya ask me thats one of the better parts, i mean i could have suggested you as the the stand in for when Riverwind gets horribly burned by the dragon. Noting that only you could be so ugly as to play that part. But no, i chose a good part for you, cause you keep coming back, see and to think people say I don't like you. Not to mention I believe you become a Dragon Highlord at one point. I mean come on Amaron what better part is there than a man who will never die!?

GCS

But to be honest my personal fav picks of mine we Method Man/Red Man for Theros, and The volleyball Wilson for Raists orbs.

No offense, Wizard of Arl, but less than 1% of your post was actually new or relevent information. You might want to try cutting your sig down just a little.

I think if there is going to be a DL movie, there shouldn't be too many big name actors in it. Get some new, yet quality people involved. Sure, there can be a few big names, just don't start putting Hugh Jackman in as Tasslehoff...

True_Blue you if you don't jump down his throat then I guess I will know you don't get mad cause people jump at others. I'll know you just don't like me... now I don't know what I did to you if that is the case, but just saying.....



Also, you fools, I am of the old school Sorcerer, back in the good old 4th age when everyone called Wizards Sorcerers, just for some reason I am like Coryn where I don't need a spell book but can learn any spell just by watching it being cast. See and I had that idea before Doug Niles!... lol ok not really but it keeps me from getting hunted.

*Disintigrates Amber coffin* Your pathetic exscuse for a prison could never hold me, *snaches lightsaber from belt, and hurls it across room using Mage Hand beheading TBRAM*(pays to have levels in Jedi Knight)
