If You Could Play Anyone...

I know not all of us are actors here. I am not famous by any means, but enjoy theatre a great deal. I thought that there must be others than me who dreamt of playing a part in LWW the movie?

So my question is this, if you could have been cast as anyone in this movie (or in all of them assuming all 7 are made) who would you be?

My first choice: Jadis the white witch. I have always had an obsession with being the bad guy (or girl in my case) and I would have loved the chance to bring that character to life.

I found at my current age and height the chances of being even considered for Jadis were slim to nill (I'm only 5'2!). So my second choice was Susan. Now that would have been fun!

Now these parts are already taken (but I can dream correct) but if we are to look at future narnian films I have 2 more characters that I wouldn't mind at all if I could play them.

First is Shift. I know I'm a girl, but hey, with make up you can do wonders (plus I've played a boy before in a show, it can be done!). I do a pretty descent monkey impression if I do say so myself.

But thinking in practical terms (I am rarely a practical person though) I would more likely be able to play my second choice, the dryad woman who runs to King Tirian to tell of the felling of the Holy Trees in Lantern waste. Small part, but hey you know what they say, it only takes 15 minutes to be famous, or is it you are only famous for 15 minutes? hmmm....

so, what about you? Even if you can't act, and even if its impossible, lets dream a moment shall we? Who would you want to play?
 
What a great poll-type-thing!.
Well, oh the choices...
1) It's got to be Jill - she's such a top lass - she has her flaws - frogetting the signs and not being as committed as she could at the start of the SC, but she has her mellower side. She got guts as well, and has the tomboyish side to her too, also, she gets very good at archery, which i've tried once and was awful so it would give me a chance to practice!
2) Lasaraleen - Aravis' friend in Tashbaan in HHB - she's such an awful and ridiculous character, you could imagine the fun having to play such a daft thing!
3)Chief Dufflepud (can't remember his name - if he had one??) A role of pure comedy!

If only such dreams could come true!
 
What a great idea for a forum!

My first choice would definatly be Jadis: When I want to I can look VERY evil. She would be a wonderful character to portray, I think, esspessially if you could do her in MN and then the White Witch in LWW. When I heard they were making these movies, I was devistated as (Like LOTR) I knew I would be too young to audition for any of the parts. (I'm 5 '10 without shoes, so Jadis would be right up my alley.)

2: On the same lines as 'evil witch' I think I would make a good Green Witch as well from SC.

3. It would be wonderful to play the voice of Whin in the 'Horse and his boy'

4. And for someone not as evil as my first two choices, I've always wanted to be a dryad..... :lol:
 
I always wanted to play Peter. But the current Peter they have chosen looks much better for Peter than me so I would probably choose Caspian. He's probably my second favorite character in the chronicles. I actually would be around the right age since I am two months younger than William Moseley and Caspian is supposed to be around Peter's age. As for looks, that's the part where I wouldn't stand a chance. Check out this picture of me.
 
Rhindon, you would make a pretty good Caspian, as far as looks are conserned.

GrayCloak~ :huh: I thought you were a boy! Hehehe, sorry bout that. I know what you mean though, isn't it fun to play someone so completley unlike yourself? I would love to be *evil :angry: just for fun!

rosymole~ I hadn't even thought about Jill. She would be fun to play.

My sister wants to be Aravis, though she feels she is to tall to pull off the role of a young girl. Lasarleen would be her second choice. Just think about the costumes!

I'm glad you think so.

I have a friend who I think could play Eustace. He's 13 but because he's so short he'd still be able to play him by the time the movie was made. He's actually a pretty good actor. He's always getting leads in plays. The only problem is that he has the most American accent I've ever heard.
 
If I could act, I would probably like to be Jill or Lucy. They're are just so adventurous (the opposite of me). They would also (hopefully) get all of the hot guys. hehehehehe........... :wacko:

does anyone know if the director has any plans for eustace or caspian? did they start holding auditions? or is it too early? if they have guys for it, do you know of a site that has pictures of the cast members that have been cast yet?

There are currently no casting plans for the other films that we know of. Though there are rumours that work on the script for the "second film" has begun.
 
I'd want to play a more "quiet" person. And by quiet, I mean one that doesn't have any or many lines. I like that kind of character (like Harpo of the Marx Brothers) and I feel I can be taken more seriously when I don't say much. I don't have an admiration for my own voice (still haven't gotten used to it since puberty. Ah well.)

But anyway, I'd like to play a silent and mysterious part like one of the centaurs (if I work out my chest and abs a bit more). Or maybe an evil creature of the queen's army like a goblin or something. I think it'd be fun to play Peter if I wouldn't have to fake a British accent (I'm very bad at that).

What I'd REALLY like to do if I were involved in a Narnia film would be something on the other side of the camera. Being a production designer would be sweeeet candy and turkish delight for me. That or DP (director of photography). I just finished DP work in one of my classes and that was fun. I also think that it would be really fun to adapt the book to the screenplay (until it comes out and half the people rib me for cutting out something or changing something).

:rolleyes: Yah, I tend to get that alot online, I have four brothers plus their friends, so all 'girliness' was beaten out of me a long time ago. :blink:
 
My first choice would be (big surprise here) Jadis. Evil minions are so much fun! :D I mean, you can be like, "Minion! Go do my evil biddings!" or "Minion! Get me a danish!" They're the best things ever. Everybody should have some evil minions.

My second choice would be Aravis, though the age/ethnicity difference might be a problem. I like her spunk. It would be fun to play her, because I'd get to be all swashbuckl-y and runaway-y and cool like that.
 
i know that i'm a girl but i want to play edmund, i always wanted that, if i must play a girl than i want to play lucy, i think she is one of the most incredible persons in the books
 
i'd wanna play Lucy. or, if i was a guy, i'd want to play Peter, or Caspian or Repacheap(sp?). but since i'm a girl, i guess i'll have to stick with Lucy. oh and Jill. i kile her. and Polly. yeah. Polly. she's my fav(other than Aslan)!
 
Like the cheesy photo Rhindon! Personally i see you more as a Peter, but can you do the middle class English accent?
 
Thanks. Peter was always the one role I wanted to play more than anything in my life. Second was Peter Pan, followed by Fagin from "Oliver!". As for the accent, I'm afraid I can't do it now as I haven't listened to it enough. Though I can actually do quite a few voices and have come close to mastering Billy Boyd's scottish accent. But I have no trouble fooling Americans, that's for sure. But I still think it would be fun to play Caspian as he is my second favorite in the chronicles. If any of you find the casting director's work address, send me a private message.

P.S. One week, I listened to Family Radio Theatre's Chronicles of Narnia radio adaptations which feature entirely British actors (except maybe for Aslan). Then I watched the some of the BBC productions. After a week of british accents, I walked into my father's office and told him I was going to watch a movie. He then commented that I had spoken in an British accent and I hadn't even noticed. I thought it was rather funny.
 
LOL!

People are always commenting on my mom's accent (being English) and then ask me if I have one too. I responde of course in my cultured scottish one, and then gradually turn it into Irish if I really want to mess with them! :lol:
