    My picks:

    Montaron - Peter Dinklage (lol), only menacing witty short guy I know.
    Xzar - David Tennant
    Jaheria - Mila Jovovich
    Minsc - Dwyane Johnson
    Kivan - Christian Bale, because Bale always plays the tortured guy

    @Xavioria: Do you mean Fat Actress Kirstie Alley, Cheers Kirstie Alley or Wrath of Khan Kirstie Alley?

    Gorion - Liam Neeson

    Are we saying in terms of fantasy, as in they can be actors in any time period of their life? Or are we talking making a movie now, and they have to be the current real age and appearance? Because Kirstie Alley and Vin Diesel are way too old to play those respective parts.

    Wallace Shawn would be a perfect fit for Tiax.

    Imoen - Chloë Grace Moretz

    Silke Rosena - Hayden Panettiere
    Safana - Janet Montgomery

    Ugh for the love of all things sacred please don't cast Hayden Panettiere in anything.

    But Russell Brand is a dreadful actor... Mark Heap, on the other hand, would be a perfect Xzar.

    Bas Rutten would be awesome for Minsc. As would Vin Diesel. But I agree with other posters that they are both a bit too long in the tooth for the role now. Too bad.

    I actually won't be surprised if a BG movie gets made one day. It is certainly standing the test of time as a computer game. It's almost universally regarded as the best high fantasy CRPG ever crafted, still, to this day. There's a whole generation of highly desirable consumers that grew up playing the game. And now a new generation will be introduced. (I think they do need to get the EEs developed for console platforms as well, to ensure the continued longevity and popularity of this venerable game.)

    As CGI becomes more increasingly affordable for independent studios, more and more becomes possible.

    Cast- Patrick stewart
    one man production, the only solution to appease my geekyness.

    Edit - as it's a movie it'd be a film of the staged version.

    Minsc should be played by Scooby from Scooby home workouts, as he is Minsc in real life.

    Tony Jaa for the Drizz't cameo. I thought of Vin Diesel for Sarevok as well!

    This. Definitely better than di Caprio.

    Also, Larry David for Quayle. That would seal the deal for me.

    Anyone else experiencing problems with the notification system?

    Off-topic, I know, but I have to check discussions all the time to see if people respond to my rubbish. Gets on my tits

    I apologize for double posting, but for convenience in the thread, I'd like to reprint the command for embedded photos here, because I just had to learn to do it, and I think other people might be wanting to learn as well.

    It's not hard once you get the hang of it:

    < img src=http:etc.etcwhatever >

    Get rid of any img or /img commands around the address. Do not put spaces between the < > signs - I had to do that in my example so the board wouldn't confuse it with an actual image command.

    That "img src" stands for "image source", which may help you remember it.

    Elminster - Ian McKellan (obvious)

    LOLz. Can Brian Urlacher play Minsc? I think he could!

    Urlacher looks the part, but he's a terrible actor. Have you seen the cameo part he had on According to Jim? He couldn't even do that small part convincingly.
  • GilgalahadGilgalahad Member Posts: 237
    As mentioned earlier, I think i can definitely see Wallace Shawn as Tiax and with a bit of convincing Armin Shimmerman as Jan. I also like the choice of my boy Lennox Lewis as Valygar for bg2 movie...but like urlacher, he's no actor. Also though she's getting up in age to be able to portray her properly(barring a good makeup job), always saw Nalia as being portrayed by drew barrymore. How about Marina Sirtis as Jaheira.

    HAH! That would probably work though.

    Vin Diesel As Sarevok

    I like Vin Diesel better as Minsc.

    Sadly, I think Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) would've been a good Sarevok.

    When these topics come up, Alyson Hannigan is almost the universal choice to play Imoen.
