I Wonder who could play the Green Witch??

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.

Not only has she already played powerful-women roles, they have already been in a sci-fi/fanatsy setting (Knightly was also Padme's decoy in Star Wars Episode I). She also brilliantly played Elizabeth Bennet in teh 2005 Pride & Prejudice, and though Elizabeth isn't a "Grrrl-power girl" she's still a very strong character,

The same could be said for Natalie Portman. She is certainly very beutiful, but she has already played a touch girl as Padme, ( though Padme was a bit sweeter than Elizabeth Swann.) I'd favor Portman of Knightly by the virtue she always retains this "innocece" and "sweetness" if you will. I'm not just talking Star Wars but V for Vandetta, and The Other Bolyn Girl.

While some could make a similar claim with Liam Neeson playing Aslan, to Kierra Knightly being the Lady of the Green Kertle, the comparison is really apples to oranages. Liam Neeson is an older male actor. He even joked when Batman Begins came out that he, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman could ONLY be wise mentor figures as they are too old and ladies don't swoon over them.

I definitlys agree that The Lady of the Green Kertle should come off as sweet. I've already posted some of my ideas elsewhere, but at least when I've read the books I've always pictured the Green Witch being a bit like the angel Monica in the TV show Touched by an Angel. ( not sure if any one remembers that show.)

There are three ways they can portray her.

1. A sweet woman, who's innocent beauty and kindness makes her angelic.

2. A sensual villainous that ends up luring away Rillain in a seductive manner.

3. They could just let her be an angry Witch like Jadis, but I don't think the fans would like that.

I had a funny thought when I saw the title of the thread. "I wonder who COULD play the Green Witch". Matter of factly, any actor or actress could have a dress made for them and play the Green Witch. It's more a matter of who SHOULD do it. :D

Verne Troyer, for instance?

I'd prefere a mix of the first two. She should be sensual and seductive ( I picture it being akin to the Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact when she is "tempting" Picard and Data) yet at the same time come off as innocent and kind. like the girl next door. She should capture Rilian's heart as Caspian's was captured by Ramandu's daughter ,except for the fact that where Caspian wasenchanted by the beuaty, Rillian was bewitched a la Ursula with Eric in the Little Mermaid.

I'd stay a way from making her a Jadis remix.They are two completly different villians. They are like Coke and Pepsi.

The girl who played Buffy the Vampire Slayer's little sister is growing up rapidly; maybe she could portray the Green Witch. She even said in an interview that she likes playing an evil characer.
 
I know the perfect person to potray The Lady of the Green Kirtle, Miley Cyrus! Lol just kidding, I think they will likely pick a no name actress, but if I could pick a well known star, I think Emiley Blunt who potrayed Queen Victoria in The Young Victoria would be a great choice. She's beautiful, she could easily pass as seductive and she would be a good contrast to Tilda Swinton's domineering Jadis. :)
 
I think she sorta needs to be a motherly figure... well that sort of aspect, cause she gains people's trust really easily..... and then she hypnotises people
 
What about Angelina Jolie? She can be both motherly and seductive. If she was casted it would also draw more people to see the SC. :)

I would have to disagree, Natalie Portman on my opinion isn't a very talented actress. No we need a actress with prestige, someone like Tilda Swinton, who commands attention.

As for actress in Prince of Persia, I haven't seen her in anything yet, so I will refrain com passing judgement. :)
 
They could get Alice Krige (I believe she played the Borg Queen in Star Trek First Contact) to play the GW. The first time i saw the Borg Queen, I thought she was Tilda because she looked so similar to Tilda. And she's pretty witchy. ;)

She would actually be a great choice, however I think she might be too old for the role. Afterall the LOGK has to seduce Relian, and in my opinon that would mean she would have to gorgious not old and motherly looking. :)

Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of how similar she looked to Tilda...Liv Tyler would be perfect then. :p not.

I actually considered Liv Tyler, in fact I believe I said she would be a great choice in another post. However I think the actress who potrays LOGK must be even younger. :)
