...It seems like he'd ( Ryan Renolds) would just fit the part of Andy to a T...honestly it's how I've pictured Andy since the very first Blood Moon.

**WARORK93**

The guy who played in Green Lantern?

Also...in a bid to think of anyone else besides wolverine to play Harlow...the only alternative I have yet to think of would be Karl Urban...specifically for his performance of "Black hat" in Priest...the movie might not have been awesome but Urban's character was pretty good IMO...

See I could see Russel Crowe as Harlow...based on his performance in 3:10 to Yuma...but...it's not quite right.

...And yeah...the guy who played Green Lantern...though I see more of his Character from Blade Trinity in Andy...

**WARORK93**

You see one of the first names that popped into my head was Crowe but no, Crowe doesn't really give Harlow's character justice...

Its a toss up between Jackman and Urban really...I really hate to say Jackman because he's become synonymous with that sort of character and therefore I feel its cliched but I can't deny his ability to pull it off though...

**FITZZ**

Agreed, he'd ( Crowe) be like..Harlow Lite...
Jackman is good...but as you noted...so overused...

...My real problem is that I tend to see characters as actors " from the past"...Young Christopher Walken as Pontious for example...so it's difficult to come up with " current actors".

**FITZZ**

Her "Look" would work for Natasha...(maybe)...shame she can't act...

I tend to try to see the characters the actor/actress has portrayed from specific movies...as you noted, Crowe from 3:10...but your correct in the fact that its difficult to see actors from one movie, especially if they've done bad movies before...

Example: I cant keep a straight face as I try to imagine Andy flying around in green tights and a mask...sounds like one of his silly posts...

Don't ask me why but I always imagined Natasha as a maniac version of Liv Tyler...

**FITZZ**

And I could see Kenya Moore ( look wise) as Erzuli...but again ...Don't know if the acting chops would be there...

...Does sound like a silly post...but if you watch Blade trinity and watch Reynolds Character...it almost screams "Andy"...the cocky attitude...the fethed up life...it's odd how close the are.

...Liv Tyler would be interesting...but she isn't quite attractive enough...plus I've seen her act...

Too bad I haven't seen Blade Trinity...

There are quite a lot of movies I haven't seen actually, which makes this job a whole lot harder...the unfortunate truth is I'd have an easier time equating Blood Moon characters to video game characters...go figure...

For instance...John Marston is easily Harlow...Nathan Drake is Andy and for some reason I see Musater as some sort of less hardcore version of the hitman...

You've become much too predictable Fitzz. I knew you were going to say that about Tyler...and I'd be forced to agree with ya...

Crazed Vampire girl-scout.... Is just the tip of the malicious evil in that little body...

@Warork

I have no idea who could play Vegas...

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

What about Sean Bean fro Andy, he is great at playing flawed heroes, only problem is that Andy didn't die half way through BM 1 so it's probably not too enticing for him

I could see a younger Walken playing a wonderful Pontius. Christopher Lee as Cain?

Meh. It's a bit of typecasting, but it would work. I imagined Caine as more or a suave gentleman in his 40's than an aged man.

I'd imagine Mordo was thinking of Lee as Caine in Lee's younger days...

**Hlaine Larkin mk2**

What about Alan Rickman as somebody?

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

However hard I try (not that hard to be honest) I can not think of anybody who would perfectly play Dez...

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Hmm,

Scarlett - Rachel Weisz
Olivia - Helena Bonham Carter

Nero - Bill Nighy

Byron - John Barrowman

Stranger in cloak (to be revealled) - Geoffrey Rush.

- Both Bill and Geoffrey from 15yrs ago, age wise, but their character acting would be awesome. Rachel and Helena probably from 10yrs ago, so early thirties.

Yes without a doubt

.

Not sold on Barrowman, but time will tell

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Well the only other thought I had for Byron was Gary Oldman, but that might be a bit cheesey considering the connection between him and the 'stranger' character, although Hollywood does like stuff like that.

Would need to be 1992 Gary mind, which would make the connection even more obvious.

Pontius as a young Walken... this devious plot, you're doing it all wrong, it needs more cowbell.

As far as Ryan Reynolds goes he does fit the cocky attitude and in Smoking Aces he also had his can do attitude and loss of his peers and people he looked up to.

Now when I think Ryan I think Clive Owen for some reason, might just be because the guy kills people for a living.

Now Harlow, I think Josh Brolin, John Wayne, or Jeff Bridges from True Grit.

Not too familiar with Brolin...Wayne was a very good actor and portrayed the "cowboy" image well but the thing is he was always the hero...Harlow's more of an anti hero, he's in it for himself...Wayne just doesn't have that darker part of his character...

Bridges is just too old...though his performance in True Grit was pretty awesome...

Good suggestions though...

@Silly...Holy cow! nice poster!

**FITZZ**

@ Silly...Nice work my friend...as always.

Brolin 20 years ago would have made a good Harlow...
John Wayne..?...nope...personally I find Wayne's acting to be as staged and wooden as watching a puppet show...

The more I think about it...the more I realize that they are few modern actors that I could see in most of these roles...at least from the " well knowns" crop...
I do think Bjiou Philips would make a great Kerri..but am drawing a blank on most parts.

Maybe that's for the best considering the quality of mainstream celebrities and acting persona's these days...

Just means we have a bunch of actual "real" characters instead of the shallow stuff most movies have in them...

**halonachos**

For Brolin and Wayne, I was looking more at facial features not necessarily acting. If I wanted someone who could at like Harlow I would have to say Harrison Ford, he was pretty good in Cowboys and Aliens as a cowboy but his characters tend to be rogue in nature and that makes me think Harlow.

And Udo Kier would be fantastic as Pontius in my opinion.

Exactly...if I were having an easy time thinking of who could play whom ( especially amongst the sea of most current "stars") I'd have to seriously consider killing every character off...
I mean How boring would a character be if say...Shia Lebuff...or Collin Farrel instantly jumped to mind concerning them.
