[tinhuviel]

Hey, a girl can dream. And that's all I got right now are dreams. Also included is a poll for those who know about the characters. I'd like to know your opinions and suggestions in this. Characters cast in order of appearance, not importance.

Kelat, Queen of the Upyr: Helena Bonham Carter
Thiyennen, the Upyr King/Vasily Tenin: Joshua Jon Miller
Cadmus Pariah: Barry Andrews (of course!), or Ed Kowalczyk, or Tom Hardy, or even Kevin Spacey (he's been top-voted to play Barry Andrews in an XTC biography film, should one ever be made)
Dmitri Lenilyevich Oskarov/Thanatos/Thaddeus Brannon/Lleinisch: Danny Huston or Nathan Fillion
Galantine, the leather merchant: John Rhys Davies
Nissius: If he can't play Cadmus, he should at least be given the role of Nissius ~~ Barry Andrews! If not, then Doug Bradley

Thank the Gods that I'm not the only one who does this!

I'll submit...when I have an opportunity.

I'm happy to know I'm in good company. I envision everything I write as a movie in my head, so it's pretty easy for me to cast a film. What's not so easy is making said film a reality. Blah!

[morriganwind.livejournal.com]

Yup many writers do that as well.

Chris and I have had dreams where actors showed up with a copy of our book and proclaimed...I want to make this a film...

It's a great dream and I wish I could make it a reality :D

Oh well... I think the reason we tend to find 'muses' is that it helps us describe characters.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Can't agree more. It's like one inspiration begets another and the wonder is passed on to someone else.

[morriganwind.livejournal.com]

very true....giving serious thought to your list. However work calls me *bleah*

[morriganwind.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah...have you gotten to a point where you start seeing characters/muses as these characters in tarot decks? LOL

I blush to admit we've listed out a 'fantasy' deck with characters.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

No, but now that you've mentioned it, I'll be pondering the possibilities!

[morriganwind.livejournal.com]

Uh oh ... I do have to admit though, we had a lot of fun doing it.

I had half a mind to buy blank tarot decks and figure out a way to make an unofficial deck :)

I did start work on a tarot deck with my Craft Mother ages back and Barry/Cadmus actually ended up in he Major Arcana as Futility. Here's the picture of that.

That is so beautiful :)
