I think the problem there is the filming schedules.  Ewan McGregor I think
has the certain gentleness that I imagine in Lupin, however, he should be
well occupied in Australia filming the Star Wars Episode III.

However, I'm trying to figure if he could be turned into Sirius Black.
Make-up can work wonders you know.  Not quite sure if he has the voice for
it.  My reasoning being that surely Sirius Black's actor would not be needed
nearly as much as Lupin's, seeing as he's a dog more than half the time.
And still pictures are used a lot, those can be easily taken care of.  His
only real scene in PoA is at the end.

For other Lupins, I'd first contemplated the <gasp> American actor Viggo
Mortensen (Strider/Aragorn from Lord of the Rings) for Sirius Black.  He
looks it in LOTR anyway.  However, he has a "Lupin" sort of voice.  And then
I saw pictures of him as, well, himself, and he could pass for Lupin.
Looked much different.

Then there's Colin Firth.  I'd thought of him for Lupin.  But he has a
better voice for Sirius Black.  At least better than Viggo Mortensen.
Wonder what he'd look like "scuffy looking?"
