Cast a Planescape: Torment movie/miniseries

[midnite rule]

Since this isn’t something that’s likely to happen feel free to go hog-wild and cast insanely expensive actors. It’s just for fun anyway.

My casting choice are:

The Nameless One – Ron Perlman

Annah – Naomi Harris

Dak'kon – Ken Watanabe

Fall-From-Grace – Emilia Clarke

Ravel Puzzlewell – Linda Hunt

Trias the Betrayer – Cillian Murphy

Deionarra - Charlize Theron


CGI characters like Morte, Nordom and Vhailor should be voiced by the actors from the original game. Although the guy who voiced The Transcendent One is dead, so I’m not sure where to go there.

No. Trias is and always will be John de Lancie.

Tony Jay.

I meant no disrespect toward Tony Jay.

I should have phrased that better.

[rn_archl0rd]

i think Bradley Cooper (Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy) could do a terrific Morte.

The Nameless One - Keanu Reeves
(because his main talent is looking clueless, but he would have to bulk up for the role)

Annah - Noomi Rapace

Dak'kon - Benedict Cumberbatch

Fall-From-Grace - Cate Blanchett

Ravel Puzzlewell - Angela Lansbury or Meryl Streep

Trias the Betrayer - David Warner

Deionarra - Michelle Pfeiffer

The Transcendent One - James Earl Jones

Morte - Rob Paulsen

Nordom - Dan Castellaneta

Vhailor - Dwayne Johnson

The Lady of Pain - Jane Fonda or Carrie Fisher

I'm trying to think of a movie that is like PS:T and failing. (except for the theme in Memento)

So I can't even see what genre such a movie would be.. drama/fantasy/action?
I think it would be incredibly hard to make it into a movie.. it would have to be some sort of epic, perhaps a trilogy or something.

Since the entire story is very in media res and about finding out what happened it would probably be a mix of crime and fantasy, with some action and drama in between. It would probably make a better TV series than a single film.

The first and last attempt at a big budget Dungeons and Dragons film flopped, combined with the fact that video game films have a generally bad reputation, making a D&D based film is like making a pirate movie before the Pirates of the Caribbean was released.

Still, even though video game films get panned by critics they still manage to gain a moderate audience, because that's the only explanation I can find for the longevity of the Resident Evil and Final Fantasy films.

The fact that PST is almost entirely based around dialogue makes it perfect for dramatisation, but since this is a cult phenomenon it probably won't gain enough hype for anything to be made.

Rocky Horror was a cult film and they are remaking it. The first thing you have to do with a videogame movie is make certain Uwe Boll is not involved. His is the Touch of Death.

I'd cast Steve Buscemi as Morte and the almighty Bruce Campbell as the Nameless One

[DerOger]

Nameless One - Guido Henkel...obviously ;-)

[pigozz]

The Nameless One is absolutelz 100% Josh Brolin

Dak'kon - Benedict Cumberbatch

Fall-From-Grace - Cate Blanchett

Deionarra - Michelle Pfeiffer

great choices

Shouldnt Trias be young and beautiful? I'd go with Timothée Chalamet- dude pretty young but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does he knows how to act

Not sure about Hannah - there's definately a mathc for her I just cant remember the name/face...someone like Isla Fisher but better
