Has ever happened to you while reading a book to picture some charachter's appearance, and immediately immagining it with some specific actor/actress' looks?
Here's the thing: who is the best actor to impersonate Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, and why is Adam Driver?

Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice was spot on tbqhwu.
Michael Cera as Hamlet
>>7843359
I tend to imagine Slothrop from GR as Michael Richards
Mickey Sabbath from Sabbath's Theater
>>7843433
I think that's not a bad choice, but, in a few years, I think this is the guy to play Mickey Sabbath.
I intend to make this movie.
"Gentile's Theater"
>>7843359
I saw Heathcliffe as a bit more swarthy and gypsy-like.
>>7843401
>Michael Cera as Hamlet
Please. God. No.
>To be or not to be
>I mean, that's the question, isn't it?
>You know what I mean right?
>To suffer and stuff.
>Unless you like that. Do you like that?
>I don't know.
>I know, right?
>It was a stupid, stupid thought.

It would be hilarious, famalan

Here are some quotes with Heathciliff's description:
"He is a dark-skinned gypsy in aspect, in dress and manners a gentleman: that is, as much a gentleman as many a country squire: rather slovenly, perhaps, yet not looking amiss with his negligence, because he has an erect and handsome figure; and rather morose." I think Driver would fit just perfect.
Hairless Rory McCann as the Judge.Michael Cera as the Kid.
Whoopee Goldberg as Hermione Granger
I thought that Christian Bale was pretty perfect as Patrick Bateman.
Whenever I saw him in Batman or whatever afterwards, it was still Bateman to my brain.

lol fucking idiot. i hate you so much. she has to be played by a white 11 year old girl or I will feel offended as shit
>>7843359
>That ugly motherfucker
>Heathcliff
Benny profane desu. Pls r8 no h8.

It is said that the plant maintains a cosmic existence. That's the main ingredient of a Byronic hero.
There's a strange, organic, and even holistic sense of self-sufficiency to a Heathcliff... A levity which is buoyant by being entirely earthbound.
Heathcliff is not quite a Timon of Athens, but more of a Titus (he balances out better than Hamlet, who in himself comprises the higher type of man).
I imagine Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus to be Mike and Jeremy from Peep Show
I always imagined Tobin from BM to look like this guy.
Young Guy Pearce is EXACTLY what Severian would look like.
>>7843828
I kind of imagined that kind of face too.
I imagine Joaquin Phoenix playing Doc Sportello as Zoyd Wheeler in Vineland. Joaquin would have been a better fit as Zoyd I think, but Inherent Vice was the better book for an adaptation, so I'm not complaining.
Oedipa Maas
The only right answer
>>7843962
made me laugh
>>7843589
>dark-skinned gypsy
Driver's as white as snow. I get where you're coming from with the ambiguous ethnicity look, and the wildness, but I think someone like Jeremy Sisto in his youth would be a good fit.
>>7843748
pretty accurate
>>7843627
Just a little gag m8
>>7843828
Thats how I imagine Suttree
Joe Christmas
Romeo
not memeing.
I know the age is way off, but when I read 1984 I couldn't help put picture Jeremy Corbyn as Wilson.
>>7843681
b-but he's a very good actor. Tormented charachters seems to suit him.
>>7843359
do girls actually like guys that are this skinny? he looks like a twig
>>7843359
Fassbender was perfect as Macbeth
>>7844372
Probably some do yes.
driver is such an ugly piece of shit. delete that picture. heathcliff is supposed to have some appeal.
>>7844390
But Driver does have it, imo
>>7844372
He's in better shape than 90% of the male population.
You have body dysmorphia from browsing /fit/
>>7844429
he's just skinny though. if he came to my gym he would be laughed at and told to hit the swimming pool Michael Phelps
>>7844446
Let's try this again:
>You have body dysmorphia from browsing /fit/
>>7843401
lizzy's casting was better
My ex gf tweeted that she wanted to fuck Adam Driver after she cucked me and left me, so I have a physical reaction every time I see his face
>>7844490
I would laugh since he is an ugly fuck who pretends he is jacked.
This guy as Raskolnikov in Sokurov's C&P adaptation 'Whispering Pages'
>>7844471
She was good, yes.
Jane, though, ugh.
>>7844511
That's actually pretty good
>>7844551
It's a great film
>>7844545
I thought she was lovely! And true to the role.
>>7844722
she's so fucking ugly, and Jane was supposed to be a proper qt
>>7844726
she encapsulates the beauty standards of that time, though. seriously, she looks like a painting from that era.
>>7843911
It should also be directed by Wes Anderson and star Bill Murray as the psychiatrist
>>7844178
Spot on!
>>7843612
Ye, I guess?
>>7844446
>he's never been to a major city or seen any rockstars
you ever hear of jim morrison? jimi hendrix? even bob dylan?
the difference between you and your fag buddies who work out to make up for their lack of confidence and looks is that these guys have millions of fans, are "artists" and frankly look cooler being skinny then buff which usually does not fit with the artist look
fucking faggot get your head out of the creatine barrel
Robert Childan
>>7844382
really? I pictured someone stockier
Young Edward Fox in pretty much every Hemingway novel
>>7843359
Tommy Wiseau to play Socrates
>>7844446
Look, we all agree that his face is "peculiar" and cannot be considered the average handsome, but he is tall and athletic, he even was in the Marines before becoming an actor so I am sure he is phisically trained, even though not the "built" type you and your gym friends refer to.
>>7845907
his face doesn't adhere to any aesthetic standards of beauty.
kinda looks like your typical new worlder mutt.
you are right about his general physique though.
Maxine from bleeding edge
>>7843359
There's something about his face that seems right for a period setting.
>>7846393
Yeah, the stone age period.
>>7844372
I think this picture was taken when he was starved for a role. Maybe the one as a persecuted Christian priest in Scorsese's Silence. He's actually pretty build by actor standards.
>>7843885
Sam here. I also kept imagining Jessica Chastain as D.L.
>>7846493
I kept imagining Jessica Biel as D.L.
Jeremy Irons as Stencil
Casey Affleck as Frank Traverse
Eva Green as V.
George Takei as Takeshi
Some variation of jonah hill as Profane
kind of imagine joanna newsom as Oedipa Maas
>>7845922
His eyes are amazingly expressive tho.
>>7845562
>Sour Grapes: The Post
Nabokov said that Catherine Demonegot from Zazie dans le metro should've played Lolita. Pic related.
>>7847028
rare blackface
>>7843612
Michael Cera is nowhere near tough enough to play the Kid.
>>7844178
pretty good
>>7843452
If Louie is playing anyone it's gotta be Leopold Bloom.
