posted 9/1/05 (well we now know I go t just one casting right-Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter)

Just fer fun let's cast the movies. Starting withe the last one first, cuz I can't remember all the characters in the first two.

Lyra--Dakota Fanning (though she'll be 12 in Feb. and maybe too old in 3 years?)
Voice of Pantalaimon--Hugh Mitchell (Colin Creevey in Harry Potter) or Andy Serkis!
Will--Well hmm. Daniel Radcliff only younger. The kids will be hard to cast.
Roger--Hayley Joel Osmet or if he's too old... ?
Lord Asriel--Sean Bean
Mrs. Coulter--Nicole Kidman or Angelina Jolie. Both can play beautiful and bitchy.
Lady Salmakia--Miranda Otto
The Chevalier Tyalis-- David Wenham (Faramir)
THE AUTHORITY--A cameo by Anthony Hopkins who could play God or the Devil equally well.
Iorek Berinsen The Armored Bear-King-- Voiced by James Earl Jones or John Rhys Davies
Mary Malone--Andie Mac Dowel or someone younger? Julia Stiles
Angel Balthamos-- hmm...well of Johnny Depp could do it but it's too small a part. I know the guy I can't think of his name... somebody gay and pouty how about Jonny Rhys Myers
Angel Baruch--Orlando Bloom? Or Karl Urban
The Texan (what was his name??) Samuel L. Jackson we need some diversity in this movie!
John Parry/Stanislaus Grumman--Liam Neeson
John Faa--Colm Meany
Farder Coram--Bernard Hill
