Let's face it. Novelists often dream of a film, and may even see the film as the greater goal.
I make no bones about the fact that my goal is a book/movie deal. Be honest, who have you pictured playing your characters???
1) Elaborate if you'd like. 2) Who you might want to write a roll for if you knew you could do the screenplay and get that actor. 3) Who you wouldn't want for some reason. Answer whichever ones apply or skip.
1) Maybe I shouldn't say this, because it could gum things up when it comes to negotiating. But I think Jeremy Irons could fill the part of Cartemay the Seer. I think he could pull off serious/sympathetic/ and a wry sense of humor. He has to also be capable of pulling off a good whine every now and then, and be equally bold and self-effacing, as Cartenmay is at times powerful and at times a pathetic figure full of aliments.
2) Viggo Mortenson. I can't picture him in any role that I've written, but I'd be willing to fiddle with the screenplay if he wants in. He might have to settle for a cameo. LOL
3) John Malkovich and Kenau Reeves. I'm not saying JM is not a great actor, and I've liked some of his work. I just didn't like him in his role as a Musketeer or in Eragon. And frankly this is an Epic Fantasy set in antiquity. KR is also likable, very much so. But again, I see more of someone who could pull off classic acting.
