Alright I've been hired to direct a big budget Horus Heresy film trilogy. Who should I get to play the primarchs? Who should play the emperor?
>>46896512
Unless you can bring back the dead and reverse people's age you'll never get actors of sufficient caliber to portray the primarchs.
>>46896535
Of course I can. I'm a rich jewish director. Who'd you have in mind?
>>46896581
Well, you'd need Christopher Lee in his Dracula days, for one.
And Charlie Chaplin.
>>46896512
Tommy Wiseau as the Emperor
>>46896512
Nick Frost.
>>46896512
Samuel L Jackson as Vulcan! "I've had it with these mothafuckin eldar..."
>Roboute Guilliman: Russell Crowe
>Leman Russ: Triple H
>Fulgrim: Tom Hiddleston
>Vulkan: Samuel L. Jackson
>Lorgar: Michael Shannon
>Ferrus Manus: Vinnie Jones
>Rogal Dorn: Arnold Swartzenegger (15 years in the past)
>Sanguinius: Ryan Gosling
>Mortarion: Tom Hardy
>Corax: Mark Dacascos
>Jaghatai Khan: Ben Kingsley
>Horus: Marlon Brando (Apocalypse Now era)
>Perturabo: James Gandolfini (one more animate dead)
>Angron: Jason Statham
>Lion El'Jonson: Kurtwood Smith
>Konrad Curze: Michael Sheen
>Alpharius/Omegon: Timothy Olyphant
>Magnus: Brion James (the last raise dead spell)
>The Emperor of Mankind: Ashton Kutcher (aaand the movie is kill)

"Ohai, Horus."
Don't use an actor for the emperor. Make every scene with him from his pov
Lion el Johnson : Chris Hemsworth
Leman Russ : Ron Pearlman
Horus : Mark Strong
Angron : Thor Björnsson
Vulkan : Denzel Washington
Jagatai Khan : Ken Watanabe
Guilliman : Daniel Craig
Konrad Curze : Ralph Fiennes
Fulgrim : Benedict Cumberbatch
Ferrus Manus : Tom Hardy
I don't really know for the others.
i wish the 'vulkan being a nigger' meme from reddit would end senpaitachi, put a white actor in melanchrome blackface
where did people get the idea that a lava themed fire-eyed space marine legion was negroid? ignorance im presuming + reddit/tumblr diversity poisoning
>>46898487
Because they've got scorched-black skin and all they see is the black part.

Shit that's actually pretty good.

I have no idea who that is playing alpharius

Also didn't morty have long hair?
>>46896512
>>46898543
>>46898487
Well the old salamanders were painted with Dark Brown skin, although the marines in this image are painted like Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man.

What's up with Robert Gillyman's face in that pic?

Who plays Ollanius, savoir of all mankind?

I agree that is really stupid

Ewan Mcgregor.

A random 19 year old kid they pull off the street. His face is never shown.
>>46900195
Swap the guy who's playing Kahn for Sanguinius. Find an Asian to play Khan. I don't know if the guy you chose for Magnus is the right man for the job desu. Otherwise all seems fine.

Jesus Christ you uncultured cucumber, that's Brandon Gleeson show some fucking respect
Whoever, the actors end up being, let's say the Horus Heresy HBO series or movies are a bit success.
Somehow, the producers latch onto Shoggy's All Guardsman Party Storytime. Who do you cast?
>>46901201
this
>>46901137
Justin Bieber
I used to have faith in HBO after shows like The Wire, but after they ruined Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire I'm hoping Netflix or Hulu picks it up instead
>>46896512
No one should play the Emperor, and his head should never be fully visible except in outline.
His voice is all the Primarch's mixed together.
Problem I see with having a HH tv show/ movie series (but a tv show would be infinitely better) is it would have to be over quickly, actors age but astartes don't. Unless they're Keanu Reeves. I'm 99% sure he's a vampire.
>>46901503
>No one should play the Emperor, and his head should never be fully visible except in outline.
Just make him like the teacher in Charlie Brown
>>46897042
Was okay with it until the end, especially Mad Max as Mortarion
>Not even one person suggesting Keith David play Vulkan
>Not even one person suggesting Benicio Del Toro play Corax
>Not even one person suggesting Kurt Russel play anyone.
You guys seriously suck.
>>46901547
Or Wilson from Home Improvement
>>46901448
How did they Ruin GoT? Haven't watched past the first season. That was pretty good I think.
>>46902411
>cutting out important bits for more boobs n blood
>replacing plot lines with new ones, none of which are nearly as interesting
>killing characters who never died in the books
>outright changing established characters to fit with new plotlines
And most recently and more specifically:
>literally and figuratively character assassinating Stannis for no real reason
>>46898487
Because a nigger character sounds way more badass than some night black space marines
>>46902757
This. There's also a ton of really badass black actors who a lot of us would love to see playing a primarch. And Vulkan is one of the few you can legitimately cast as non-white.
Hi this is Brian Blessed's agent here. He's keen for a role in the Horus Heresy you got anything?
>>46902821
Leman Russ, as long as he doesn't minddoing nothing wrong.
>>46902461
You forgot to mention that because of everything you said and more; the sixth season is confirmed to be completely different, story-wise, than the sixth book.
>>46903192
He's too old and too much of a manlet to be Based Russ
>>46905117
well that's good at least
>>46902461
>>46905117
>almost no characters looking like they were described in the books
>baited with Dany nude scenes where there weren't any in the books then switched to showing her clothed where she should have been naked
>Tywin not suspecting the mysterious girl with a Northern accent posing as a serving boy might just be the most wanted fugitive Stark in the Seven Realms
>prostitutes prostitutes and more prostitutes
It's shit. Been shit since the third season, maybe since the second even.
>>46902802
>>46902757
Really hard to find an actor for Angron, you need a psychopath, maybe Batista or Mel Gibson, can't rally think of any others
Ron pealman for leman Russ I'd an awesome idea
>>46896512
It should be an Animated Movie or Anime. Only then can you truly get everything to look right. Plus Voice Acting would make it easier to make and film.
>>46896512
>The Emperor:
Now this is a tough one. We want someone that looks sexy, but hardened, wise, but headstrong, fiercly intelligent, someone with a deep and commanding voice, but with soft and loving undertones when speaking to his sons. He has to be incredibly charismatic, and perhaps physically magnificent (if not the power armor can hide this)
He needs to sound like James Earl Jones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXanR80AtQQ
Have the face of (even though this is the wrong ethnicity) Marlon Brando
>pic related
ACT with the intensity and commanding presence of Anthony Hopkins (example is just cause he's king god here)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCTPyEI0sxw
Have the physique of Arnold Schwarznigger in his peak

>Also, Robot Girlyman
Obviously Dolph Lundgren

Raoul Silva would make a pretty good Horus.

If we're bringing back dead people I nominate Tony Jay to play Kor Phaeron.
Who would play Angron?
>Being an ork
>Not currently working on the set of Orkz: Da Movie: Da Moosikal
You's iz muckin' about!
>Screen opens up, a warhammer symbol is prominent.
In the Grim Darkness of the forty first millennia there is only w--
>Sounds of a crash and speaker turning to static. The screen cuts out, and the shadows of an ork and a gretchin can be seen.
Oi! Wuts dis boss?
>Sound of being smack.
Shut it ya grot, juz give it ter da meks!
>The ork goes up, gets too close to the camera for a second and bounces off (bit of a smudge is left). Then grabs it to position it correctly.

>Throat clearing.
In da grim derpness of da far future a bunch of hoomies make a big fuss 'bout some chair or sumfin. I fink dere wuz alsa a bunch a bugs and elfies and fings. But diz...diz iz anudda story.
>WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
>Title appears, crudely painted on sheet metal.
Orkz: Da Movie: Da Moosikal
The story is a lesser war band heading towards the greatest gathering of orkz in the galaxy. The great Battle of da Bandz, the winner of which will be the next Warboss. Along the way they need to fight a dozen different foes, death metal necrons, rock opera inquisition, and jazzdar.
>>46900195
Liam for Emperor
>>46912782
I was rolling on the floor laughing from this, thank you.
>>46896512
I pocket the cash, hire a bunch of drunk british chavs and korean sweatshop child laborers, slap together a poorly animated and poorly voice acted Ork cartoon while insisting those flaws are all part of its "orky charm" and then retire to some private island with all the embezzled funds I don't spend on hookers and blow.
>>46896535
How hard can it be to find 11 or so autistic retards to CGI into poorly proportioned armor?
>>46896512
Obviously David Bowie as Fulgrim. Or Sanguinius.
Sean Bean as Ferrus
The Emperor: Ian Mckellan
Horus: Christian Bale, Chris Evans is Loken
Fulgrim: Jaime lanister
Mortarion: Tom Hardy
Konrad Kurze: Tom Hiddlestone
Angron: Rory Mechan
Alpharius/Omegon: Mat Damon/Marky Mark
Lorgar: Michael Cera, Erebus is Jesse Eisenberg, Phaeron is Ian McDiarmid.
Pertarbo: Shane
Magnus the Red: Young Magneto

Vulcan: Forest Whitaker
Rogal Dorn: Stannis

>all these people saying Samuel L. Jackson as Vulkan
>Despite Jackson having way too much personality for the role
>these people are only saying him because he's an enjoyable black actor, despite no relation to the role in question
If we are going the route of black Vulkan, this is my pick. I like Jackson as much as the next guy, but this guy can actually pull off the right character.
>>46915467
Idris Elba or bust.
>>46915478
That's... actually not a bad pick. I don't know how he'd look shaven and bald though.
>>46915467
Djimon Honsou
>>46896512
Rather then playing it straight and only appealing to the GW fanboys, why not be subversive?
>>46915467
>Just saying
>>46915586
I don't know him. Tell me why he'd be good for the role of Vulkan.
>>46915605
He's Keith fucking David. He's played Spawn, the Arbiter from Halo, Captain Anderson in Mass effect, an assload of TV shows and movies, and my personal favourite, he's Sergeant "Ramirez do everything" Foley in Modern Warfare 2. Chances are, you've enjoyed something he's in.
>>46915771
I've played none of those games.
>>46915792
...ever seen Archer, Community, Touch, Rick and Morty, Princess and the Frog, Cloud Atlas, Hawaii Five-O, Mr. Robot, Numb3rs, Adventure Time, ER, The Chronicles of Riddick, Justice League, Armageddon, Volcano, or MISTER ROGERS] NEGHBORHOOD?
>>46915863
Cloud Atlas and Riddick, yes. Don't remember him in CA, but is he the priest in Riddick?
>>46915881
Yeah, he's Imam in Riddick. In Cloud Atlas, he's... I don't really remember. But he's in it.
>>46911812
You forgot to swap Fulgrim

>>46912782>and jazzdar.
God dammit, it's so obvious, and I didn't see it coming.
CGI it to drives costs down. Have Tom Hanks voice all the characters to make it even cheaper.
We already have the looks and voices of two of the main primarchs from the mouth of the FW artists themselves. Horus is marlon brando, Guilliman is Mark Strong.
>>46916310
He's definitely talented, and he's definitely done some roles I like.Not my personal choice for Vulkan though.
>>46916532
>Marlon Brando
Physically perfect, yet he had the voice of a child.

This fucker is amazing, he's pretty old but is in amazing shape
I want his genes
>>46900182
Peter Stormare, swedish actor.
Hafthór Björnsson as Leman Russ
>Will Ferrell as the Emperor
>>46900195
So basically the entire cast of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, with some other dudes added to fill in gaps
