h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

oh yeah, joanna lumley would be totally cool as trelawny.

That's a good idea: I never thought of that

What other characters are there?

Okay, okay, my choice for Sirius is both alive and the right age, but not British, okay. And other roles would mean that people got the wrong imporession of who Sirius is.
It's just that I've seen him in a film go from being someone who your reaction to is 'go away, you're horrible/scary/nasty/evil' to being someone you like. And he did it while looking ugly.

Not British? As in, still an Anglophone or French or Italian or Swedish or what? Gissa clue!!!

Until you do, I'll stick with John Lynch!

In the meantime, Rhys Ifans for Bill Weasley (bring on the hair dye) and Elijah Wood for Cedric Diggory (OK, he'd have to take lessons, but I mean, if Renée Zellweger can pull it off... or Stephen Dorff in Backbeat...)

Hmmmm... Stephen Dorff for Sirius Black! (Not old enough, I know, but just about the right face.)

ohhh c'mon Catwoman!!!
stop being so mysterious

Someone somewhere suggested Antony Stewart Head to play a part... I just don't think they specified what!

Who would be Pettigrew?

Nope, too tall and stately. Pettigrew is small, fat and balding...

Not ASH as Pettigrew! The person I was reading about just said that he thought that ASH should be involved somewhere!

Awwww... Actually, he'd be very good as Sirius, wouldn't he? he can do the smouldering broody gaze quite well when he wants to.

Pettigrew... Jack Black (more language coaching)

Elijah Wood is too short to be Cedric (imagine how big Ron would be by then, and Diggory is older than them).

Is he that small? Ooof

I can't think of anyone with the right face for Cedric.

sirius has to be the same age as harrys dad.

whoops, hiot post by mistake,

i want jason carter to play sirus (marcus cole from babylon 5)

i assume these links are ok.

yikes me if they're not

He'd be perfect, actually! Well done!

Let's hope the casting crew are reading this

yay! i'm glad someone agrees.

Age thing (then let's not have to go thorugh it again)

In the Mirror of Erised Harry's parents look late 20's early 30's. So, 12 or so years later, Lupin, Sirius, Wormtail, and Snape should all be early-mid forties, with variations for how stressful their lives have been, due to joining the Dark Side, being in Azkaban, being a Werewolf, being a rat, etc. In fact, they've all had stressful lives, so they should look older if anything. So no-one under 40 can be them.


Has anyone else heard David Bowie for Lupin?

basically - I think they have to cast Sirius and Lupin the same age as Snape - Alan Rickman - regardless of how old they're all *supposed* to be (I never think they can be much beyond mid-late thirties)...
so Ralph Fiennes is technically too young, but he could look as old as Rickman.
Alternatively - Liam Neeson is the right sort of age, Lupin anyone?
As are Mortensen (but American, and his accent didn't always hold up in FOTR however much I loved him) and Sean Bean.

Liam Neeson - right kind of face, but too big and tall and muscular.

Still with John Lynch.

how about david bowie for proffessor trelawny?....never mind.

david bowie for any character you care top name would be great, but yes, i agree he would be a good lupin
