    Uma Thurman I'd rather say would be a great Nalia. Joanna Pacuła (heheh) looks like BG1 Jaheira indeed, but as far as overall similarity is concerned I doubt Jaheira would act in porn scenes :D

    [​IMG] Orlando Bloom as the PC? No way. Unless the PC is a blonde elf archer and we have enough of blonde elf archers,I am pretty sure of that. And he's not that great.

    [​IMG] Orlando Bloom would be perfect for the PC...presuming the PC is a half-elven, elven or tiefling character which would be best considering the fantasy alignment of the series.

    He doesn't have to be blond...we'd be ripping off LOTR by doing that!

    I think it would be a VERY hard role, so it should be a VERY, VERY good actor. Better than OB. I just can't stand him.

    There's not many people who look "fantasy" enough to play "fantasy" characters!

    Jackie Chan for Yoshimo!!!
    Jeremy Irons for Irenicus!
    Ian McKellen for some old wizard like Elminster!

    In all honesty, I didn't read all of the posts, so I don't know if this was said, but I don't think so. Irenicus should be, with out a doubt, Alan Rickman (snape in harry potter, sheriff of nottingham, Metatron in dogma). I even think he did the voice in the game. I mean COME ON!

    [​IMG] Halle Berry as Viconia? Naaah. It's not in her. Someone that commands a bit more respect. I think Liv Tyler would work, or maybe even Cathrine Zeta-Jones
    I don't think Ahnold would work as Minsc. No matter how good the make up was done, he'd still look like himself, and I haven't seen many movies with him using a different accent.

    Alison Hannigan would work for Imoen in looks, but I think her voice is a bit too different.

    Irenicus is tough. I think no matter who played him they'd still have to do a voice over with whoever played him in the game. As for anthony hopkins, he's too old.
    and as for everyone else...

    Anomen- Billy Zane anyone? just slap a goatee on him and he's your man
    Keldorn- yeah, connery's getting a bit old but he's got the talent and the paladin-ish aura.
    Haer'Dalis- Orlando Bloom pulls the pretty-boy elf thing off quite well
    Jan- Danny DeVito, without the accent.
    Korgan- John Rhys-Davies
    Sarevock- Vin Diesel OWNS.
    Bodhi- How about Angelina Jolie?
    Nalia- Drew Barrymore
    Arie- I definitely agree with Miranda Otto
    Edwin- possibly Alan Rickman
    Yoshimo- you never know, sometimes you can hit big with those unknown actors.

    How about Juliet Landau for Bodhi? She's got the voice for it, as well as the vampirish aura...

    Queen Latifah as Viconia? Unless her appearance has changed from what I remember, I don't think she'd be that good. Aaliyah would have been great, but she can't exactly do it.

    I think that it is impossible to create a BG II movie. It would be better to create many connected epizodes. It would be also hard to decide what whould Son of Bhaal be - human, elf,...
    IMO main character should be human paladin acted by Arnold named Holyrel and his friends:
    -Minsc Steven Seegal
    -Jaheira Cate Blanchett
    -Imoen Sandra Bullock
    -Edwin Cristopher Lee
    -Keldorn Sean Connery
    -Yoshimo Jackie Chan

    Ugh. That was certainly the worst pick for characters I've seen here. :)

    IMO.

    About that Steven Segal (Minsc) - he has the right appearance, but I doubt he would manage Minsc "rich character".
    About Viconia - Hale Berry is not her type. Maybe Jeri Ryan.
    As for Imoen, my choice would be Winona Ryder.
    And John Malkovich "Being Irenicus"? That'd be GREAT...

    Um, I dunno if this has been said, but couldn't you use Irenicus' VA as the actor? I know he's done movies (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (he was the scientist)), and TV. David Walker, I think.

    How about Liam Neason for Keldorn. Hes got the paladin thing about him (starwars episode 1). Having said that his voice might not be gruff enough

    Hmm. That isn't a bad idea. Actually, I think that's the best Keldorn I've heard someone suggest so far.
