My guess is that if this film did ever get made I think it would be heavily green-screen/CGIed (as it should be) by a breakout independent studio, and probably with a cast of relatively unknown actors. But it's still fun to imagine which A list actors could fill the various roles.
I'd like to see Micky Rourke and Vin Diesel together in a sci-fi/fantasy flick. (Hmm. Maybe if Vin ever gets another Riddick film made.) But they're both too old now for any of the NPC roles in a BG film, I think.
David Warner has to be Irenicus...unfortunately i think he's in his 70's now so maybe not. but as a 2nd choice, i'd like Jeremy Irons instead. Love to watch that guy play baddies, he just oozes evilness. Though i swear he played his character in that dud that was D&D the movie drunk, he still stole the show. I like Hanigan as Imoen as she played a similarly conflicted personna for a time during (w/e season it was i forget) . I've had a crush on her since her buffy days. But i still prefer Drew barrymore as Nalia :-). The beauty of threads like these is there are no wrong answers.
I had to re-edit since i got my names wrong lol oops. I changed my stance for Imoen to pro-hannigan and changed drew barrymore to the more properly intended role of nalia.

I mean no disrespect to Andrea, but Leonardo Dicaprio as Edwin was a wrong answer...
I think Tom Hollander would make a really terrific Khalid. He does weak and ineffectual so very well. Cf "In The Loop"
Alyson Hannigan as Imoen, or possibly...ahh, Imoen. Meighan Desmond as Safana. Dolph Lundgren as Captain Brage. Yeah. Charlie Day as Lucky Aello. "IS YOUR FAMILIAR MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE ALL THE TIME?!" Danny Woodburn as Quayle.
Can't think of anybody aside from them, for now...
Samuel L Jackson as Sarevok (hey, it might be awesome) Christian bale as MC OR Adjantis Natalie portman as Imoen Angelina Jolie as brawnwen (Merly streep would fit better, if she were at her prime) Jaheria...Anne Hathaway, anyone would do really as long as they kinda fit. Liam Neeson OR Sam Neill as Gorion, whoever plays gorion, the other will play Elimister. Johnny Depp as Khalid, Garrick, Edwin, Montaron, Eldoth and Coran Jackie Chan and Michael J Fox will randomly cameo in the background and as misc NPCs Vin Diesel would look like a fitting minsc, but donno if he can do the voice.

Jon Irenicus: Michael Fasbender
Khalid: Martin Freeman
Xan: James Marsters "We're all doomed. Bloody damn-well doomed, and it's all the Slayer's fault."
Anomen: Nathan Fillion "Look, I know I'm *punch* not the most conventional *punch* paladin you've ever *punch* seen, but *punch* I think I'd be really *punch* good for the Order. *punch* "
Jan Jansen: Alan Tudyk "You know, I spent an entire year as a god back in '03. Of course, back then they were just giving godships away, you could hardly walk ten feet without running into somebody who was a god, and did I mention there's a vampire beating me with its fists? This is REALLY not okay!"
Jierdan Firkraag: Benedict Cumberbatch (Because, really, come on, who else would you cast as the dragon? Think about it.)
...Did I mention that Joss Whedon was writing and directing?
Garrick - Niel Patrick Harris Winthrop - Harvey Fierstein Quayle - Gilbert Gottfried Tiax - Lewis Black Tazok - Ron Perlman Narrator - Morgan Freeman Indira - Maggie Gyllenhaal
Dude, that Elisabeth Moss looks much better suited for Shar-Teel, actually...
Kudos for Christina Hendricks.
Wait, what? Have you seen Mad Men? I don't think she has the acting capability / is in her nature / has the build for an Amazonian! Now ... someone like Charlize Theron's portrayal of Aileen Wuornos in Monster is pretty apt!
