Girot Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) For no other reason other than boredum I invite you folks to pitch your suggestions for the major cast members of the book series Dresden Files and The Hollows here in this thread, but using Reaper minis! EDIT: Okay we can do a movie cast too. Arachne just HAD to mention Nathan Fillon as Dresden. I love that idea so much I probably won't sleep tonight. DRESDEN FILES MOVIE CAST (we wish) Harry Dresden = Nathan Fillian or bring back Paul Blackthorne Karrin Murphy = Kristen Hager or bring back Valery Cruz BUT she needs to be blonde this time. and named KARRIN. Bob the Skull = Eddie Izzard (voice) Thomas Wraith = Timothy Olyphant Molly Carpenter = Lyndsy Fonseca THE HOLLOWS MOVIE CASTRachael Morgan = Alison Scaglioti Ivy Tamwood = Kelly Hu or Olivia WildeJenks =Trent Kalamack =Cerri = Olivia WildeBig Al = Karl Urban Kistin = Piscary = Nick = Edited March 5, 2013 by Girot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporea Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Harry maybe? but switch a wand for the flashlight. or a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachne Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Nathan Fillon as Dresden, period. I'll think harder on the rest, and edit as I come up with them. Edit: Damn, using Reaper minis. Alright, I'll go look for a Nathan Fillon look alike. Edited March 5, 2013 by Arachne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girot Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Here is a list of characters for Dresden Files as a reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Dresden_Files_characters My Dresden pics so far are… Karrin Murphy: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50283 Ron Carmichael: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Chronoscope/sku-down/50051 Waldo Butters: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50257#detail/50257_w_1 Female Warden of the White Council: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50233 Molly Carpenter (kinda weak but has conversion potential): http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50143#detail/IG_2220_1 My Hollows pics so far are… Ivy Tamwood: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50163#detail/50163_w_1 Rachael Morgan: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Special%20Edition%20Figures/sku-down/01513 (could also work as Ivy…) Harry maybe? but switch a wand for the flashlight. or a gun. If I was REALLY dedicated I'd convert the crap outta this guy. The broom could easily be finished off as his staff, though I'd probably make it a hocky stick to pay homage to the TV series (I always loved that idea). The flashlight could easily be made into his blasting rod. The head will just have to be swapped and his hair/hat properly sculpted.

Arachne Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I like this guy for Butters, too http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50202 If this guy could be modded, the coat and hat are perfectly Dresden. I'd have to shave off some of that hair, and put a rod and staff in his hands. http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50189 Edited March 5, 2013 by Arachne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also add the blood/guts rubber apron to hit that Coroner thing home, lol. Dresden: Outstanding find!! Clip the hands at the ends of this sleeves and do a super easy swap out for a staff on one side and a pistol in the other!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMann Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just a heads-up, Girot, you've got the female spy in for both Molly and Carmichael. I can't help but feel one of these is in error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachne Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Great. Now I want to paint them too. Sooo many projects! Here's my vote for Molly, since we're converting. I'd take out that gun, and put in a wand, or some kind of spell effect, I'm thinking of her "portable rave" with a little explosion or something, if it's doable. She's kinda edgy, and I love the pose of this piece. http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/Chronoscope/sku-down/50024#detail/50024_candy_front_1_lj Edited March 5, 2013 by Arachne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably add more clothing and definately get rid of that gun and paint her up with a lot of angry punk-goth themes (good call on that). This would definately have to be pre-Rag Lady Molly.Ivy: 50149: Natalia, Female Secret Agent, 50007: Veronica Blaze, Agent of G.U.A.R.D., 50210: Bonnie, Futuristic HeroineRachel: ??Al: 50187: Smedley Cloverdash, Evil VillainQuen: 50082: Cobra, Modern NinjaNewt: 02105: Labella DemornayJonathan: 50040: Janus, Cybertech Hero Great picks! Your vision of Newt is an amusing one though. That isn't at all how I pictured her, haha.Nathan Fillon as Dresden, period. I'll think harder on the rest, and edit as I come up with them. Okay I couldn't resist. I added a casting wish list to the initial post to keep track. I also threw in my bids for the other "main" characters.

Members SamuraiJack Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 Great picks! Your vision of Newt is an amusing one though. That isn't at all how I pictured her, haha. Well most of the time she's just in the stupid hooded robe.. the rest of the time she's batcrap crazy.. seemed like a good middle ground.. edited original for movie casting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I know, I know, Reaper Miniatures, but I would definitely not cast Fillon in the roll of Dresden. I would go back and beg the original actor that played him in the series to do it. That guy had Dresden nailed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SamuraiJack Posted March 5, 2013 Members Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think I'd have to consider Olivia Wilde for Ivy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girot Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) I think I'd have to consider Olivia Wilde for Ivy as well. That could work. I'd have to do a costume test on her first though. EDIT: Thinking about it I think she could pull of Ceri really REALLY well. She looks elfish and can do "explosive bipolar"... which also works for Ivy. Damit.

Inarah Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Fillian's too pretty. He can get girls. Harry never can. Blackthorne did tall and geeky reasonably well, I wouldn't mind seeing him again. Nearly anyone you're going to find in Hollywood is going to be too good looking to play Dresden, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
