Ok, i've wondering about this for a while, 'WHO would play the Ghosts in Ghostmaker?
Personally I think Hugh Laurie would make a good Gaunt.

Sean Connery for Corbec

I see a steve buscemi Larkin.

Viggo Mortensen as Mkoll, I always kinda pictured Mkoll looking like Aragorn in LOTR.

Larry Rew for gaunt (he's that actor that was commissar holt in the cut scenes of final liberation).

Gerard Butler as Rawne

Maybe Liam Neeson as Gaunt

Gaunt-Hugh Laurie
Corbec-John McGinley
Mkoll-Mark Harmon
Larkin-James Nesbitt
Rawne-Hugo Weaving
IMHO
Inquisitor Lilith Abfequarn-Evangeline Lilly

This thread should be moved.

Yes!!!! In all the years I've been reading the series, his is the only voice and face I can see in that role.

Sean Bean or Liam Neeson for Gaunt..
Buscemi for Larkin..
Viggo for Mkoll..
Your man that plays Dr. Doom for Rawne..
Your man that plays Gimli (LOTR) for Corbec..
Shia LeBouf for Milo (or whatever young actors are out at the time)..
Stephen Seagal as Mkvenner (",)
Chuck Norris for Dorden.. (Only because Chuck could roundhouse an entire Invasion back to the Empyrean)

Gaunt: Nicholas Cage (assuming he remembers how to act)
Corbec: Jay Leno + a lot of make-up
Rawne: Hugo Weaving works quite well, really, but I could see Lance Henriksen for that part too.
Dorden: Alan Alda (yeah, so I'm stuck with the Cap'n Pierce stereotype)
Mkoll: Keifer Sutherland
Larkin: Patrick Stewart... errr, sorry, I meant Sir Patrick Stewart (Steve Buscemi seems to be the popular favorite, though, and I don't think it's that bad a choice, either)
Mkvenner: Chow yun Fat (provided there's some fancy fighting footage in there)
Bragg: Jason Statham

Lupe wrote:Gaunt: Nicholas Cage (assuming he remembers how to act)

This assumes that he knew how in the first place which I don't think is the case...

Gaunt: Kiefer Sutherland / Liam Neeson
Corbec: Russell Crowe
Rawne: Christian Bale / Rufus Sewell
Larkin: Jackie Earle Haley
Caffran: a younger version of Mark Wahlberg :\
Mkoll: Viggo Mortensen
Dorden: Robert Duvall

I've thought about this a lot of times, but there are some characters that I'm not able to find a face for them

I'd love seeing it in a big screen.

I would like a movie that deals with the Imperial Guard before SM but of course the GW company is going to promote it's main branch of revenue (SM) in the first movie..
IG would have been epically better, even if GG were used, purely because of the nature of their skills..

**wistfully looks out of the window and imagines Titans blasting away with swarms of Guardsmen at their heels**

My new cast list (",)

Sean Bean or Liam Neeson for Gaunt..
Buscemi for Larkin..
Your man that plays Dr. Doom for Rawne..
Your man that plays Gimli (LOTR) for Corbec..
Shia LeBouf for Milo (or whatever young actors are out at the time)..
Kiefer Sutherland for Mkoll
Viggo Mortensen for MkVenner
Patrick Stewart for Dorden

why john rhys-davies for corbec? I think he would be better as Agun Soric.

Soric wasn't around in Ghostmaker Other than that, might be a decent choice

JRD has the facial expressions and charisma to do the part justice..

Spoiler:

Ghostmaker's a crappy place to start the series off anyways. Ghostmaker was all montages and a terrible cliched plot of "THE ELDAR DID IT!".

First & Only or Necropolis would be a better place to start.

Necropolis because I'd love to see that Heritor Asphodels pyramid/weapon yolk..

And the Zoicans, considering the Heritor pressed ganged an entire hive into doing his business..

Also, it would bring in the Verghast members too and then use the previous three or four books as flashback type scenes..

Sean Bean. SEAN BEAN. SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

*ahem*

I would like to see an inquisitor OFFICIAL movie, kinda like blade runner.

Off topic, anyone seen equilibrium? That film rocked.

Surely ghostmaker was the book containing the origins of the tanith?

I second starting on Necropolis instead of Ghostmaker.

I have often thought that a movie would be best, but a tv series would be freakin' awesome.
it would allow the books to flow well into tv form.

Does anyone want to sell their soul to Shaitan in order to get this movie going???

I asked God but he said that he has too much on his plate at the moment to be lining GWs pocket with yet more cash,
God also said something about worshiping false idols too...... (",)

Spoiler:

Also, Corbecs time frame within the books reaches up to the Herodor incident where
Cuu kills him so Rhys age could play a factor in a pro-longed series..

I wouldn't imagine the movies sticking to each individual book, like the Potter series,
I could see it being a little more "Hollywooded" to suit the masses..

By that I mean, less story line and more battles (which wouldn't do the book series any justice)
Even a telly series would make me a happy man!

PLEASE spoiler alert this. I read the book long before I got here but I know if I hadn't I'd be PO'd

Yeah you're right, I would too if someone did it on a book I was looking forward or hadn't read..
Thanks for the heads up..

What about Lilith, Caffran and Criid?

fallen_wolfborn wrote:What about Lilith, Caffran and Criid?

I haven't been able to decide. For Lilith, maybe Lena Headey (300 and Chronicles of Sarah Connor). For Criid and Caff, I just don't know.

Criid-Neve Campbell
Caff-Seth Green
Lilith-Milla Jonovich

I know he didn't show up until way after ghost maker but think about this:

Ezrah ap Niht played by Samuel L. Jackson

Rawne:Ron Perlman (with hair dyed obviously)
Ludd:Shia LaBeouf
Curth:Katey Seagal (no relation)
Corbec/Zweil:Billy Connolly
Mkoll:Sean Bean
Feygor: James Nesbitt
Mkvenner:John Simm

who else?
