The Cast Of This Trilogy Would Melt The Movie Screens

[redbrunja]

fannish5 had a cool question a couple weeks back. They were asking what 5 books would make great movies. I only did one, because I casted it and found pictures.

The Fall of Ile-Rien Trilougy is comprised of three books: "The Wizard Hunters," "The Ships Of Air" and "The Gate of The Gods."

Based on Nebula-nominee Martha Wells's entrancing series. On Ile-Rien, a world besieged by the mysterious and well-nigh invulnerable Gardier, Tremaine is recruited to help devise a spell that can break through the Gardier airships' impregnable shields. Yet instead of creating a weapon, the spell transports Tremaine and a small band of cohorts to another world with a secret Gardier base, giving them a chance to spy on the enemy of which they know so little.

Set in an amazing alter-Europe wear magic works as well as more southern dimension with the most civilized barbarians you'll ever met, these books (and movies) have everything: danger, romance, war, sarcasm, and magic.

Directed by Spielburg, this is a trilogy with the budget and the story to rival Lord of the Rings.

Allow me to introduce the cast:

(all the pictures should get bigger if you click on them.)

Our reluctent, witty and half-suicidal heroine:



Keira Knightly as Tremaine Valiarde

The curse-marked warrior from another world:



Jensen Ackles as Ilias

The God's Chosen Vessel:



Adam Baldwin as Gilied.

Tremaine's guardian, and one of the few wizard's still alive:



Clive Owen as Gerard.

The classic inguene and apprentice witch:



Alyson Hannigan as Florian.

Tremaine's former paramour (who really doesn't understand her):



Alexis Denisof as Ander.

Aristocratic scientist/wizard:



Edward Norton as Niles.

Tremaine's ethically dubious father:



Alan Rickman as Nicholas Valiarde.

And finally, playing the half-mad and immensely powerful wizard Arisilde



Anthony Hopkins as 'Uncle Ari.'


God, what I wouldn't give to see The Wizard Hunters adapted to film the way it should be.
