[HPFGU-OTChatter] Mists of Avalon and Lupin casting

[ender_w]

I agree that Vartan would make a good Lupin (though i still picture Lupin looking like Kevin Spacey), but I didn't like him as Lancelot.  Acting-wise, he was fine, but when i read the book, i pictured Lancelot smaller, more wiry and darker, at least in hair and eye color...in fact I pictured him being as dark as Morgaine.
For Sirius, I like Jason Isaacs (bad guy from The Patriot).

  Hello!  I watched the rest of Mists of Avalon last night and really 
  enjoyed the movie.  It followed the basic plot of the book and 
  brought a sense of its style and spirit.  The acting was strong, 
  especially Julianna Margulies as Morgaine.  And the scenery and 
  costumes were also very evocative, and seemed to really conjure up 
  that era, whether they were actually representative or not.  So I 
  would recommend this movie, even if you haven't read the book.

  Anyways, I'm bringing up this topic because the actor who plays 
  Lancelot, Michael Vartan, is my choice for Lupin.  He also was the 
  teacher Drew Barrymore falls for in Never Been Kissed.  Something 
  about him seems to fit perfectly with my image of Lupin.  He may be a 
  little young for the part, but I just see the sadness, gentleness and 
  then steely resolve of Lupin in his eyes and face.  Can you tell I'm 
  a huge Lupin fan <g>.  So I thought I'd throw him into the mix of 
  potential casting.

  With Lupin cast, at least in my mind, I've been trying to think of a 
  good Sirius and Peter to round out the scene.  Dead sexy is a little 
  hard to cast, but my best choice would be Jeremy Northam from Emma 
  and the Ideal Husband.  And although he's not British, Phillip 
  Seymour Hoffman (who's terrific) would make a good Peter.  That's all 
  I have for now.  Thanks for reading!

  Sarah
