The Icewind Dale Trilogy: Casting Call

Samuel Le Bihan deserves to play Drizzt. I think he would really be able to pull it off. If you are not sure watch Brotherhood of the Wolf. Especially where DeFronsac goes ape on the hunters and the cultists. He has blonde hair, and his face is painted black. The scene where he jumps into the middle of a bunch of red cloaked cultists and starts swinging around two swords very quickly was all the convincing I needed. (I mean that scene might as well be ripped from the realms) Not to mention the character is a french naturalist (i.e. Ranger) and speaks french (I believe that salvatore uses french as the basis for his drow words) and so has this weird accent... He has a hooked nose which I would think makes for a good drow feature.

Bruenor Battlehammer: Jason Alexander, the dude who played George Costanza in Seinfeld :p with the same glasses and attitude
 



Nathan Jones would have to be wulfgar 6'10 almost 350lbs seems to fit to me.

I see a lot of actors being mentioned purely based on their physical abilities and appearance, which I think is rather scary.

Acting ability, anyone? Ray parks is great and all, but his speaking roles have been so limited, that casting his as the lead character (that also happens to at least somewhat emotionally complex) in a major movie would be insane.

Same thing with someone to play Wulfgar... How many decent actors do you know of that are over 6'8"?

It's a lot easier with current technology to get a good actor and team him up with a great fight choreographer, stunt coordinator and special effects team than it is to get a great martial artist and teach him how to act.
 


Here's my .02 worth:

Drizzt is going to be the hardest to cast. I would like Vin Diesel, but he is probably too big...

Obed Fehr is another possibility for Artemis. He was the Magi leader in The Mummy and was the gigolo the Rob Schneider filled in for in Deuce Bigelow...Banderas works too...

Danny DeVito as Regis is almost too perfect...

Keira Knightley works for Catti-brie...

Not to type cast or anything, but John Rhys-Davies as Bruenor should be a given. It would be hard to keep him from seeming like Gimli though...

Wulfgar...Can't think of anyone right now...

Forget him, the real star of Brotherhood of the Wolf was Mark Dacascos! :cool:
