Did I really just see someone posit DWAYNE JOHNSON for the role of SAZED?!

I couldn't have read that right. Please tell me I didn't read that correctly.  :o

Jude Law would make a good Lord Ruler...i liked him alot in Road to Perdition, and now that I mentioned that movie i think Tom Hanks would be an awesome Dockson or Kel (they are both middle aged aren't they?) Though like I said big names aren't whats going to make this movie... good acting and special effects are a must but no names work with me.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that one. He's got the good natured thing down, but Sazed is also humble, precise, and a bit stuffy. Those aren't attributes I'd put to The Rock. Lastly, he's too buff. Sazed's feruchemy can bulk him way up, but ordinarily, he's a steward and scholar.

Maybe we have a tall, skinny guy play Sazed, then when he burns pewter KAZAM! The Rock Johnson!

As long as there's talk of who'd be good as whom, I'll put my picks up.

Vin - I honestly have no idea. I have half a dozen names that might work, but none of them seem to really fit. Good luck with this one.

Kelsier - Johnny Depp. Nobody else I can think of quite has that same unique charisma or unintentional ability for offhand humor.

Dox - Daniel Craig.

Ham - Dwayne Johnson. He's big, he's cheerful, and he's got that straightforwardness every good Thug should have.

Breeze - Robert Downey Jr, for similar reasons to Johnny Depp. He just seems to fit the role better than anyone else who comes to mind.

Clubs - Clint Eastwood. It's exactly the kind of role he'd excel in.

Spook - Dante Basco. I'm not so sure about this one, but his work as a voice actor would lend itself well to doing the Eastern street slang fluidly.

More to come later.

I really like the books although I'm not really a huge fan of the second book a part of me was still excited to hear about this then I sigh and think how badly they're probably going to end up botching this.  It's really inevitable.  No question.

Brandon said he liked the script so, that's what's keeping me hopeful.

I think a Mistborn movie would be an excellent candidate to be made completely with motion capture and CGI. Could probably do some pretty awesome stuff with 3D effects in it as well. Of course, no matter what happens, if it gets made I will be going to see it the very first chance I get.

I had pictured Christopher Heyerdahl as Sazed when i saw this promo pic of him from Sanctuary:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1585157120/nm0382216

Fantastic actor, looks great with a shaved head, and has the height (6'4") and slim build I'd picked Sazed as having.

Vin - (provided we could age her down)Sandra Bullock.


uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?  Maybe ten years ago she could have played Vin in the movie adaption of the third book...but she was -never- a very kickass type of actress.

Agreed. Not enough ass-kickery. I really like the suggestions of Glau and, of course, Jovovich.

As for the Rock he'd probably be to busy making another horrible movie.

Under no circumstances should Keanu Reeves be let near this.

I dunno, he could do pretty well as an Inquistitor. XD

Jovovich??   This isn't resident evil.  Plus I'm not interested in 40 year old chicks playing Vin.   But then again what does it matter anyway.  They're not exactly going to make this into a proper 3 hour film.  It'll probably 85 minutes and just god awful.
