now that would be epic

[mizkit]

Ian McKellan posted this great picture of him and Patrick Stewart at their first rehearsal for their upcoming Broadway shows, and I was like I WANTS ALL OF THEM NAO PLIZ

So now I’m all like, can we get, like, some kind of massive epic fantasy film of some kind with, like, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and George Takei all, like, vying for Helen

Idris Elba.

ETA: this was meant to be a reply to the main post.

Add Jason Isaacs to Idris Elba, and I might never surface again.

Ooooh. Second that.

I am so pissed I could never get tickets to see McKellan and Stewart when they were doing a show locally. Thanks for pouring salt into that papercut!

But if you're casting for voices, there's one guy I'd put on the list: Nicholas Boulton. The samples I can find for him online (doing the audiobook for David Copperfield and A Battle Won) doesn't do him justice. And I really, REALLY want his reading of The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale because of the following excerpt from this review:

"It is one thing to read a scorching hot nookie scene in black and white on a dead tree in the quiet of your own head. It is another thing entirely to suddenly find a man - a complete stranger - banging on about nipples and impetuous thrusts and passion and throbbing and waves of pleasure. Et cetera. One minute you're innocently sewing up a fallen hem on your trousers as a lovely novel is being read to you, and the next minute, some silky-voiced lothario is pouring hot sin into your ears."

That is one hell of a review. O.O

Jason Stratham is a fav in this house, as is Ron Perlman

Yup.

Great voices and great faces. That generation of actors is so delightful and so versatile.

I will be RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.
