[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 7359677, member: 6906155"] With all the fuss made about "whitewashing" at the moment Drizzt is a real can of worms. "Annihilation" was attacked for whitewashing Natalie Portman's character, even though it is only a brief sentence in the sequel novel that mentions that the character is Asian. The safest bet would probably be to cast someone who is not 100% white AND give him a skin tone that isn't found in humans. Given that a D&D movie is likely to have a limited budget, they would probably want to avoid CGI when makeup can be used. The idea of casting a martial artist is a good one, given the likely budget. Someone who can make the fights look spectacular is more important than having a big Hollywood name. [/QUOTE]
