First of all, let's hope the movie never happens. No matter how well they might do it, it wouldn't work... who would be you, the PC? But if they did do "BG2: The Movie" here's who I would cast in key roles. Please don't tell me my choice of actors is "wrong." It isn't meant to be "right," it's meant to be mine!

I couldn't find anyone to cast as Korgan or Jan. Maybe no actors want to be them.

I have cast the PC as well. For the heck of it the PC is someone big, tough and dumb but handsome, so he is a heroic Barbarian. Hey, I may also have a cameo role... yes, the real me doing Elminster.

Haha that cast would be frekin awesome but you would to be Bill Gates though to pull paying all of those fine actors!

I think its a good idea that you assume the pc to be a guy as he was one in the books so only makes sense to do it if there was a movie...

I also assume you take him to be some fighter type? I doubt they would have kits in the movie so he would most likely just be a fighter?

Also I guess your skipping Jan Jansen the gnome and korgan the dwarf?

You could add The guy who played Gimli in lord of the rings as korgan I guess hehe...

But for Jan I have no idea

I cast one of my games, so the PC had to be a guy. I'm sure they can make him a Barbarian. As for Jan and Korgan, I had no idea which mae actors might be as short as, say, Christina Ricci.

And looking at those photos again, I think I've fallen in love with Mena Suvari, the "American Beauty" teen seductress who is now all nicely grown up. So I can still romance Aerie if Naomi Watts won't have me.

Haerdalis is a nice catch. To me, Jessica Biel seems to be more like Jaheira, though.

[Choo Choo]

No. No. No.

Kate Winslet as Jaheira.

[Daulmakan]

^^ Not while I'm alive, no.


I see Jessica Biel more as Viconia. She's the looker after all.

I wouldn't mind Naomi Watts at all.

And I'd much rather Kate Beckinsdale as Imoen:




More ideas here.

[Scipio]

No. No. No.
Kate Winslet as Jaheira.

Hey! Short and very pretty Swedish person! You're not allowed to say, "No. No. No," remember? I said up-front that this is a subjective list, not the official one. If this was the real cast list we'd probably have Sebastian as Edwin (dark and brooding), Isilven as Imoen (because she looks and sounds more like Imoen than Imoen does), Deathsangel as Anomen (so he could romance Aerie) and you as the PC romancing Xan, who isn't even in the original BG2... so there! I would still be Elminster but they say they'd need to make me look younger.

More ideas here.

I didn't know about that thread, it was there before I became a member of SHS. Oh well, if I get hammered for dredging up an old subject, my excuse is that the previous thread didn't have photos of all the cast! I see Alyson Hannigan, the sweetest vampire slayer, was also popular there as Imoen.

Now somebody reply with the WORST possible cast. If you do, use famous actors ? not, for example, Robert Mugabe as Keldorn.

[Choo Choo]

Okay, Uncle Scippy, you have me convinced. PC romancing Xan. I could live with that. Yes, I could.

Didn't mean to scold, I know it was before your time. I posted it so you could see more opinions on the subject (it's possible that not all the ones that posted there will post again here).

You took more work in finding caps for each NPC, so that's certainly nice.

[Lysan Lurraxol]

Provided the PC was male, yes.

And if we were to consider BG1 as well, I think Naomi Harris would make a wonderful Dynaheir. (She was Tia Dalma in Pirates of the Caribbean).



Oh, and I agree, Alyssan would make a fabulous Imoen.

the PC had to be a guy

And why couldn't PC be a girl, if you please??...

Just teasing, I know you were casting one of your games (notice the careful quoting technique... ).
I have to say, I'm very impressed with your choices, namely the actor you cast for Cernd, Sarevok and most of the ladies. Not a huge fan of Matt Damon though, and Anomen's hair is darker than his... But I'm so impressed, that I could almost live with a movie like that one...

Got you back with your own selective quoting technique. Were you also a journalist?

[Solar's Harper]

Well if you ask me, I think we have some local SHS talents here somewheres.

[Choo Choo]

Undoubtedly, Solar. What role would you like to play?

Well after the unspoken suggestion of looking up Boethiah's Pillow Book on google, I think I'll settle for the grinning skull of Gaax.

[Choo Choo]

I didn't suggest it! I only said that you, being you, might like it.

Anyway, back on topic.

True, but since we are technically on and off topic, any other deviants?

Btw I now pose the former question to you CC.

[Choo Choo]

A slime, I think. Being a gooey puddle suits me quite fine.

To poke or not to poke. That is the question (gods I hate Shakespeare).

And if Gaax is taken, I Lehtinhan will do - granted that Minsc doesn't club me first.
