[Mikey_C]

Looks like Michael Bolton :x

[Michael Moorcock]

Might have to be Brad Pitt, after all... :?

[Michael Moorcock]

Sorry, vicar. At least he's not a scientologist... Is he ?

[Rookie]

(Drops to his knees in pained anguish, hands held to the sky, screaming to the Gods above)

No...

(A little OTT?)

EDIT: edited for brevity :lol:

I'd go with Samuel L. Jackson before Brad Pitt.

What about Christian Bale?

[McTalbayne]

Fan of Elric as well as Hawkmoon, my impatience to see Elric on a movie screen is bigger than a Tolkien fan waiting for LOTR movies. I can't remember well if someone was talking about David BOWIE as Arioch in a later topic, but it was a great idea i think. I juste hope the movies will be at the books level, even with the changes made for the adaptation.
Maybe after Elric success, Hawkmoon will come to :D .

(sorry for the awful english of a poor french fan )


Paul BETTANY could look like this as Elric.

Thank you Mr MOORCOCK for make me feel your stories.


(sorry i think i made a mistake and don't post my message at the good place the first time :oops: )

He looks like a singer from a 80s hair band.

[Jerico]

Seems people are tired of Jude Law and Johnny Depp

Christian Bale... maybe so!

Photoshop him someone.

Kommando?

[Athenys]

Not to worry pards :D ! I think I have found our actor:

British thespian Julian Sands...I only made him albino and gave him long hair, other than that though his features are unchanged. Now imagine with SFX makeup...Looks like Brom's Elric to me.

[mordenkainen]

i vehemently protest against Elric wearing that sort of bangs!

[Athenys]

BOTH Amano's and Brom's best renditions of him show him with a hairstyle much like the one I put on Sands. As long as the 'bangs' aren't pronounced it
actually makes him look more unusual, kind of like the ol'style Conan . It's either that or braids like a LOTR elf...

I don't think he's been given the right roles (which have been boring) to work with. I mean who would have thought Viggo Mortensen would have done such a good job as Aragorn? Based on his previous bland and rather unremarkable performances Mortensen shouldn't of been cast period. In fact he was the last-minute choice after Daniel Day-Lewis turned the role down. Sands could very well surprise in that regard. I have a feeling he has considerably greater potential, if given an interesting character to play for a change...

[Athenys]

However, every time that I see him I get the impression that he is insane. I really mean this. He has some strange effeminate quality mixed with a disconnected facial expression.

Detached/Bored=Introspective...check
Depressed/Emotionally disturbed=Moody...check
Frail/Effeminate=Sickly Melnibonean...check

An introspective, moody, sickly Melnibonean...
What did I tell you...he's PERFECT! If his best role was playing a Warlock it doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to picture him as a Daemon Summoning, Chaos Worshiping Sorceror. Better=he actually LIKED the part! That insanity would do wonders for his scenes with Stormbringer and it's malevolent influence on his personality...

[MissDreamy]

Nah, sorry... he's too old now. Must be in his forties, at least! How old's Elric at the beginning. . . early twenties/late teens???? :?

[Pietro_Mercurios]

Might have to be Brad Pitt, after all... :?

I'd go with Samuel L. Jackson before Brad Pitt.

Okay, couldn't resist it:


Hmm... not too bad. :)

[Michael Moorcock]

Looks like it's going to have to be Matt Damon.
