Raukaan Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 So yeah, I know this has been done before, but I haven't seen one of these threads in a while, and I want to get my dream team out for the Primarch actors in a mythical Horus Heresy movie. Here are my views and why. I also mostly looked at their faces and performances, obviously some of these guys are short and stocky but thats where CGI would come in of course. what are your thoughts? Lion El'Jonson - Viggo Mortenssen (just see his role in LOTR, I think he'd be so similar to Lion, though would have to act more aggressively of course.) http://www.torontolife.com/daily/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Viggo-Mortensen.jpg Fulgrim - Jason Isaacs (obvious reasons are obvious) http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131028215914/harrypotter/pl/images/b/b9/DH-Lucius-lucius-malfoy-17316925-289-468.jpg Perturabo - Brian Cox (He has this brooding power and can give a threatening performance, just how I imagine Perturabo being. Check him out in Troy) http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02114/brian_cox_2114223b.jpg Khan - Ken Watanabe (last Samurai was good, though perhaps oversimplified. Even so Ken Watanabe is the man, and he can do a great job being a military leader and giving strong performances). http://www.chud.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Watanabe.jpg Leman Russ - Tyler Mane (hes big, he looks like a Viking, hes perfect... see him in X-men or Troy (lots of Troy people here)) http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/33572/771099-600px_sabertooth_1__tyler_mane_.png Rogal Dorn - Gerard Butler (honestly Gerard can play a calm honest roll and an aggressive vicious roll really well, Dorn has both of those traits). http://www.celebritysizes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Gerard-Butler1.jpg Konrad Curze - Edward Norton (Norton is awesome, he can play a really good psychotic criminal, I think he'd be perfect for Curze) Sanguinius - Brad Pitt (come on... again watch Troy, Achilles = Sagnuinius) http://www.thecultureconcept.com/circle/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Brad-Pitt-as-Achilles1.jpg Ferrus Manus - Glen Jacobs (WWE's Kane) (again, big and brutal, just like Mannus, no idea of acting capabilities) http://i4.bebo.com/013/8/mediuml/2006/08/28/00/21047215a1865585045b694663567ml.jpg Angron - Nathan Jones (who is that? YEAH its :cussing ANGRON. See him at the start of Troy) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fQ6C1qNm9e0/Tq-NM0xFEnI/AAAAAAAAIS4/kPdn76AEObE/s400/100_1744.jpg Roboute Guilliman - Daniel Craig (smart, sophisticated, but can play a military role for sure) http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2008/database/danielcraig/daniel_craig300a.jpg Mortarion - John Malkovich http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110305121609/inheritance/images/c/ca/John_Malkovich.jpg Horus - Russel Crowe (He has Charisma, he can be athletic, and he can sure as hell be an inspiring warlord. Watch Gladiator if you haven't seen it) http://www.rockefellernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/russell-crowe.jpg Alpharius / Omegon - Kevin Spacey http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/3/18/1395163510901/Kevin-Spacey-011.jpg Magnus the Red - Liam Nesson (Gaunt, strong voice, good as a mentor/sage role but not a wimp) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/news_portrait/2012/11/neeson_a.jpg Lorgar - Brad Dourif (this guy has some of the best acting I have ever seen... just watch Exorcist 3 or see him in LOTR) http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsD/4838-12754.gif Vulkan - Forest Whitaker (Forest really has that honest face, something I can totally imagine Vulkan having, I think he can pull off this role very well) http://www.shedyourweight.com/img/Forest-Whitaker.jpg Corax - Benicio Del Toro (I can see him being the loner/cunning type like Corax, I'd say he also has the look with pale skin and dark hair, I liked him in the Wolfman). http://assets-s3.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/celebrities/18968-benicio-del-toro/1250530151_benicio_del_toro_290x402.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I think brad pitt might make a better roboute (although I love craig I am not sure I can see him as a primarch), I think you need a more elfen look to sang which might be better portrayed by Orlando bloom or Craig Parker.

Raukaan Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 I really don't think so, I think Sang and Pitt look identical. Bloom would be far too child-faced imo, I wanted these guys to look more serious. Everytime I see Pitt in Troy I can only imagine Sanguinius being like that, afterall in many books hes supposed to be THE strongest and most skilled Primarch.

Teetengee Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I guess. I always got the "too beautiful to live" vibe from descriptions of sang though. (Not that the actors I suggested really pull that off, but pitt doesn't seem androgenous enough for it. although these are primarchs we are talking about.)

Chandrian Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 i like this list! But who would play the Emperor !!!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Vulkan could only be played by Carl Weathers, fact. See my avatar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveNYC Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'll see you're Carl Weathers and raise you an Idris Elba. "Stringer" Bell, Primarch of the XVIII. Javier Bardem could work as Curze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 i like this list! But who would play the Emperor !!!??? Clearly it would HAVE to be Morgan Freeman, right? He's the go-to for god-like roles. Also, Tommy Lee Jones get my Malcador vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeyray Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If I could I would love to see Perturabo played by John Wayne especially after The Searchers, that is how to portray world weary and bitter man in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I can't see anyone but the guy that played Dr. Manhattan as Lorgar, ever since A DB mentioned it. Also, Kevin Spacey? I'd be too busy wondering why the Congressmen from House of Cards is wearing armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Jim Carey for Curze. Eternal Midnight of a Bloodstained Mind! Idris Elba for Vulkan. Give Heimdal a hammer!!! John Lithgow for Perturabo. Chris Hemsworth for the Lion. Benedict Cumberbatch for Sanguinas. and.... (drumroll)... William Shatner for the Emperor!!!

Tyrannicide Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I don't like to get too into these movie cast topics but no one but Idris Elba could be Vulkan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!! I must bring the B&C thread screaming into the light of peace and unity, one comical atrocity at a time. I had to say Carey for Curze. If I chose Tom Hiddleston then Hemsworth as the Lion would just be a Loki/Thor fight. ..and Shatner? Okay, I'm just being evil on that one.

FunkyMonkey Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I actually think Laurence Fishburne, if he was a little darker (perhaps with makeup) could be a pretty good Vulkan. He seems to have that large frame and rounder face that I always thought of Vulkan as having. Also, I think Chow Yun-Fat as he looked as Sao Feng in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 would be great for Khan. http://img.poptower.com/pic-1647/chow-yun-fat.jpg?d=600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raukaan Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sean Bean as the Emperor. Sean dies in everything he's in so every day 1000 Sean Bean fans sacrifice their lives to keep him alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Good list, only changes I would make would be - Stephen Lang as Dorn (not land, woops)Tom Hardy as HorusJavier Bardem as LorgarChristian Bale as the Night Haunter and I second Elba for Vulcanedit: Mel Gibson as the Emperor of Mankind, I believe he's proclaimed this on a number of occasions either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Do you mean Stephen Lang? He'd certainly be my choice (I miss you, Terra Nova) for Dorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karden00 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I'll never understand why everyone worships Idris Elba so. Apollo Creed would slap the :cuss out of anyone involved with the :cussstain that was Prometheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You're right, Apollo Creed would beat Heimdall. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Here we go again, Ferrus cast as some other big dumb brute. Ferrus needs an actor that is convincing at being strong physically AND mentally. He was an inventor after all. I dont know the actors name, but the guy who played Zod in the latest superman movie is perfect. Seriously, look at the forge world model, and Man of steel's Zod. They are nearly identical. I feel Patrick Stewart would make a good Emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Siren Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I feel like Lee Pace(the guy who played the elf king Thranduil in the Hobbit movies) would make a good Fulgrim. Grace, speed, skill, pride whole time during those movies when he was on screen all I could think is he is a prick and he will make a good Fulgrim. This may be a weird one but Dave Batista( Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy) has a Vulkan vibe to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
