R271 Sneak Peek!

After getting frustrated with trying to draw my own characters I spent fruitless hours on deviantart looking for ideas and one came. "Screw drawing. Find famous people to play them in the movie". So I did just that. I always read or write as if I were watching a movie and it would be awesome to one day have R271 made into a movie (as long as I write the script, direct, produce, cast, etc. etc. [jk]). Anyways, without all this nonsense...here are my choices for characters based entirely upon looks. (We'll worry about acting later!)


RANON CAUD (the young son of some exiles): This little guy is Nathan Gamble. He was in Babel.


SENOR DAIS EXERBUS (the priest): Played by John Malkovich. Imagine him with a long long beard, that's what Senor looks like. What movie hasn't he been in? The movie I know him from is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He played that thing with the many mechanical legs!


TOMAS CAUD (an exile): played by Benno Furmann. He's gorgeous! Too bad it isn't a bigger role and the character always wears a hat so you can't see his hair. Anywho, the move I know him from is The Order where he played the Sin-Eater.


JAFIR al-HAIF (the weapons trainer): played by Naveen Andrews from Lost. This picture is almost exactly what Jafir looks like minus the outfit of course.

JENA LEBAR (the empress): Cate Blanchett is perfect for this role. She played Queen Elizabeth I in the Elizabeth movies and she was a pretty powerful elf in Lord of the Rings. This is pretty much what the character looks like, dress and all.



MATS HELYK (the geneticist): played by David Nykl from Stargate Atlantis, a Canadian. I'm debating whether I like the longer hair or shorter hair?


PETER LEBAR (the emperor's brother): In my character description I wrote "looks like Al Pacino" and that was all I wrote. LOL! If you don't know Al Pacino then shame on you!

RAFE LEBAR (the "prince"): Charlie Cox is just so adorable. Just imagine his hair longer like how it was in Stardust. (Couldn't find a good picture from there sorry)



CHASE BLOOM (Jena's favourite): Chace Crawford. I stole the characters name him and Orlando Bloom. I was leaning towards Orlando Bloom but he's a bit too old for the role. Chace is in Gossip Girls, I think??

ENORA CAUD (exile): played by Morena Baccarin. I almost died when I saw this picture of Morena. It was exactly how I imagined Enora. Fighting since I semi-stole the name of her character on Firefly: Inara. She was in Firefly (duh) and Serenity (double duh).


AGUSTUS "GUS" (street kid): played by the amazing James McAvoy. I had to have James McAvoy in here somewhere. But I didn't choose him just because I think he's gorgeous. I thought long and hard about who I wanted to play Gus because of the attitude that needs to be pulled off and after watching James in Rory O'Shea was Here I knew he had attitude. He's probably best known to you as Mr. Tumnus from Narnia or from Becoming Jane.


JACK (alien): played by Doctor Who, I mean David Tennant. Adorable, ci? You probably recognize him as Barty Crouch Jr. from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (the guy who kept sticking his tongue out strangely)!



JACQUE LEBAR (Grandfather to Rafe): Anthony Hopkins is the perfect type of old person for this character. Just imagine him in a wheelchair and kind of drooling due to senility.

ADAM SASSIL (earth minister): Jason Isaacs aka Lucius Malfoy, need I say more?



BAI SHONG (tutor): Kenneth Tsang. I searched high and low for the properly aged Asian actor to play Bai and I found this guy! He played The General in Memoirs of a Geisha. Just imagine him bald and with a goatee and he's perfect.


BAYARD LESTAT (CEO on Earth): played by Michael Fairman. I know him as Niska from Firefly. I don't know what else he has done but he'd be awesome for my evil CEO.

BIK (alien captain): played by Jason Momoa. Don't let his good looks and smily face get to you. If you've seen Stargate Atlantis you'll know that Jason can be mean when it calls for it. It was difficult to cast an alien because they are appear different to everyone. So this is how R271 would see Bik and how I would like to see Bik.


CAIL LEBAR (emperor): John Hurt! Just imagine him with a mustache! That picture is perfect for Cail! John Hurt played the bad guy in V for Vendetta and Mr. Ollivander in Harry Potter!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!
R271

R271 (main character): played by Masami Nagasawa. I don't know if she's fluent in English and I haven't seen any of her movies but she looks like the perfect R271!!

Well there you have it. Character appearances in a nutshell! LoL!! I hope you enjoyed it!
