I Wonder who could play the Green Witch??

as others have said, that would confuse the audience if it was Tilda Swinton, because, and this has been pointed out as well, the WW and the GW are not the same exact person. the Green Witch is of the same kind as the WW. Meaning, they're not exact, but similar. Which also means, someone who can act similar to Tilda but not copy her performance; someone who's similar to her in appearance, but also different.

Tilda would just confuse the audience and if the filmmakers stay true to the spirit, they'll get someone who can pull off a very similar performance given by Tilda.
 
No Tilda. *shakes head in exasperation*

How about... hmm... Keira Knightley? No.... hmmm.... this is difficult...
 
If it's about something creepy, Keira Knightley... have you not seen her?:eek: If the Lady of the Green Kirtle could have been portrayed on the movie as frightening and with some attractive yet ominous beauty... by how Keira looks now, it fits totally.:eek:

What's happening to her? I know...
 
That idea has been gone over already a zillion times. The Green Witch is NOT supposed to be the exact same person as Jadis--despite the fact that the Russian translation of the Chronicles changed the text to say she was Jadis. The Green Witch ought to look younger even than Tilda Swinton is NOW; and by the time "Silver Chair" actually gets filmed, I'm afraid Tilda WILL have lost her looks.

How about having the Green Witch portrayed by the actress who played Inora in the TV series "Firefly"?
 
whoever plays green witch has to be super pretty and look good in green

jill says "and wasnt that a scruptious dress"
or something like that:p
 
What's-Her-Name whom I just mentioned lately, and my older nominations Gillian Norris and Naomi Watts, all qualify as super-pretty and all would look great in ANY color.
 
The problem with using Ms. Knightley is that she has already established herself as a tough-as-nails macho-woman. The Green Witch should APPEAR to be soft and sweet, so that for anyone not already knowing the story her true evil will come as a surprise. It's like when George Lucas was filming "Return of the Jedi": he considered casting Patrick McGoohan as Emperor Palpatine, but then he realized that anyone seeing Mr. McGoohan in that role would be EXPECTING the Emperor to turn out to be dangerous and powerful.
 
Keira Knightley first gained attention as a fighting Guinevere in Clive Owen's "King Arthur." Then she became the also-fighting heroine in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. That's why I say that she is too well known for powerful-woman roles; if she played the Green Witch, it would be too obvious that she had to be someone powerful.
 
There are many great choices, but I think they will settle for unkown or not yet famous actress who is young, beautiful, and who has the charm of the Lady of the Green Kirtle.
 
I still think Nichole Kidman should play the Emerald Witch if she's not too young. Tilda doesnt look like the Emerald Witch, and nowhere in the books does it say the White Witch and the Emerald Witch are the Same Person.
