Actors for the movie.

Nice thread

And my compliment to the idea of Ron Pearlman being Caderous too. It's like they took his face and added some hair to make Canderous.

I think Gerald'd bette be admiral Saul and Revan's left for Christian Bale.

Who'd be Kreia? I really don't know.

A bit premature as she's in TSL and not KOTOR.

@HOP/Padawan--using the pic as reference of Glau re MV, I agree. Funny thing is, she almost looks kind of AI in that pic too.

Talking about Mission, who would be the best as Zalbaar?

Totenkopf · June 17, 2009

Of corse Zalbaar could be just about any 7' actor in hollywood that needs work.

Talking about Mission, who would be the best as Zalbaar?

It doesn't really matter, since they'll either end up in a suit or replaced with CGI. And voice talent (for snarling?) isn't an issue either. ANYONE could play Zalbaar...

Darth Bandon should be played by:

Mike Judge

Arrrgh! He be well suited, the handsome bastard.

Fredi · June 18, 2009

^^ He looks like Uthar too.

Darth Leo · June 19, 2009

I could see John Voight as Vrook Lamar...

AKA: The version I run with.

Kairi Niko/Revan - Zhang Ziyi.

What did it for me was not the dozen-odd martial arts fantasy movies, but Memoirs of a Geisha. Y'see, unlike amny versions of Revan, Kairi is quiet and a bit on the somber side. Had she not been Force-Sensitive, she would have been a fine senator or diplomat, and up until the Big Reveal, still pretty much thought of herself as Bastila's translator and aide. In her Geisha role, Zhang carried herself with a certain sadness and longing, and it's a similar heaviness that I see in both Darth Revan and her "successor," Kairi.

Bastila - Kiera Knightly. We know she could handle the SW universe and fighting scenes, as her first major role was Sabe. She's got the face for it, definitely.

Canderous - I'm so agreeing with Ron Perlman here. I keep seeing him as a character with great dignity and presence, one who has a very strong arc of growth from a jaded, paid thug to the future "king" of his people. Perlman does his best work in genre work, usually under a ton of makeup. And hey, I'm old-school enough to remember Vincent. The guy's got some range.

Jolee - Freeman would be interesting, but something about Richardson's delivery reminds me of Avery Brooks.

Mission - Come to think on it, Hayden Panettiere could pull it off. The energy and the smile are definitely there. We'd have to up our sweet Twi'lek's age a bit, but who cares?

Darth Avlectus · June 19, 2009

^^^Care to offer at least a pic or two?

EDIT: Kewl.

Serpentine Cougar · June 21, 2009

I agree with Perlman for Canderous and Timothy Olyphant for Darth Malak.

Summer Glau doesn't really look 15... Panettiere might fit the role better.

For Carth, I'd say, Jamie Bamber resembles him somewhat.

Totenkopf · June 21, 2009

Based on the pics, Panettiere has a somewhat broader looking face than Glau. Glau's more angular looking features (at least in that pic) seemed a closer match for Mission.

Bamber does make a decent match for Carth based on that pic.

Personally, I think Bastila has GOT to be Bridget Regan.

She's the only reason I watched that Seeker show. And the whole time I was thinking, gee this chick reminds of someone.... Doh! Bastila! Throw an accent on her and she's perfect.

And I'm thinking Brendan Fraser for Revan (What? He's gotta have a sense of humor!) and Chris Bale for Carth (Angst, brood, angst!) and Ron Perlman is the perfect Canderous.
