[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 953814, member: 1457"] Hmmm... 4 person party? I'd go with different casts depending on the target audience/genre. Thank goodness for IMDB, to get the names straight. [b]Coming of age movie / teenage audience[/b] Rogue. This class can be comedy (like the rogue in Conan) or tragedy (like the old Robin Hood series). I think that guy from Dawson's Creek could do tragedy. No, not the blonde guy. The dark haired guy with all the conflict: Joshua Jackson. He's smart, he's intense, and he can act. He would have been good as Anakin Skywalker, oh well. For comedy, I'd go with Aston Kucher (Kelso from That 70s Show). Paladin: Gotta be tough and virtous, but to be interesting there also has to be weakness. I'd go with the blonde guy from NYPD Blue--Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Yep: "Zack" from Saved by the Bell. Sorceror/Wizard: Eliza Dushku as a sorceror. This chick is Bad. She does "psycho with barely-constrained-power" real well. And boy does she have Charisma. Or, Natalie Portman as a nerdy but superhot elf wizard. Think "Mialee". Cleric of Farhlangn <sp>: Seth Green. A good foil for the Paladin. [b]Summer blockbuster / young adult audience[/b] Thief: Bruce Campbell. No brainer. Fighter: Vin Diesel. He has huge arms, looks like he'd *enjoy* wearing plate mail, and can smash things. Total fighter. Sorceror: Antonio Banderas. He's crazy, he could pull off the "natural magic" thing. Cleric: Samuel L Jackson. Oh yeah. Here's some dialogue: Orc: Which holy symbol is yours? Cleric: It's the one that says "Bad Motherworshipper" Ugh.. actually, I can't imagine these actors on the screen at the same time. They're all fine alone, but together just doesn't work. Okay, hmmm. [b]Winter release "film" / adult audience[/b] Cleric of St. Cuthburt: Ed Norton. As someone above pointed out, he'd be perfect as a religious fanatic. Barbarian: Definitely Brad Pitt. Okay, he's been picked before too. Hmmm. Gotta get original. And find someone who won't be dwarfed by these two. Rogue: George Clooney. He could do it, he'd fit in with the other two but now it's looking like a recast of Ocean's Eleven. Mage: Gotta be female, to balance out the testosterone. How about... Cameron Diaz? [b]D&D as comedy[/b]: Rogue: Luke Wilson. Cleric: Seth Green. Fighter: Owen Wilson. Sorceror: Ben Stiller. [b]The D&D Movie that should have been made in the 80's / a.k.a. "Young Wands-of-Magic-Missiles"[/b] Paladin: Charlie Sheen Sorceror: Emilio Estevez Rogue: Val Kilmer Cleric: John Cusack Okay I'm out of ideas. -z [/QUOTE]
