Casting decisions ruin a lot of adaptations for me damookster Send a noteboard - 20/04/2017 05:34:05 PM

Example: The Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child. Reacher in the books has close cropped blond hair, blue eyes and is 6 foot 5 inches tall, 235 pounds. So who plays him in the two movie adaptations made so far? Tom Cruise.

I shudder to think of who will be cast as Rand. Or Lanfear. Just to name two.

Mook

I have a lot of love for 1-4ish, which we have to watch before we get to the parts I dislike. nossy - 22/04/2017 08:38:39 PM 562 Views
I stand by the assertion that 1-6 were great reads. Tom - 23/04/2017 12:32:34 AM 613 Views
They've rewritten aSoIaF and people have been generally happy. Maybe they'd be okay with this. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/04/2017 05:06:42 AM 279 Views
