Recalling the ferry....

[hobbitomm]

On the ferry, purplemermaid, ormsweird and myself got to discussing a casting of the Discworld. Which got me to thinking- do people see them the same sort of way? Some examples....




The Patrician/Havelock Vetinari: Alan Rickman
Vimes: Pete Postlethwaite
Angua:Angelina Jolie
CMOT Dibbler (et al): Kevin Spacey
William de Worde: Jack Davenport

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of Rickman before but that could work. My previous preference would have been for Ian Richardson (House of Cards, Porterhouse Blue). I could also see Rickman as Rincewind.

Had he still been alive - John Thaw for Vimes.

Dunno about AJ for Angua. Hadn't thought much about casting her, though for some reason Tamsin Grieg springs to mind.

I always wanted Stephanie Cole (Waiting for God) to be Granny Weatherwax. Emma Chambers (Vicar of Dibley) for Magrat. Come to that, I can see Dwn French in the role of Nanny Ogg.

Brian Blessed for Archchancellor Ridcully, though having heard Graham Crowden (Very Peculiar Practice/Waiting for God) do the role in the animated version of Soul Music, he would be a good option.

Penelope Keith could do Lady Sybil.

Penn & Teller would be interesting as Colon & Nobby :)

I wondered about either Judi Dench or Maggie Smith as Granny Weatherwax. I can see Emma Chambers as Magrat certainly. For Nanny Ogg, I always saw her more as a... erm.... 'Nursie' in Blackadder 2 sort of person.

Brian Blessed, of course, we had already penciled for (both) Ridcullys.

Christopher Lee as the voice of Death (well, James Earl Jones is in there as a contender too...)

I can't recall who we suggested as Nobby and Colon. Purplemermaid?
