Alot was already said about this, so I'll make it short - Anyone who really doesn't want Paul Bettany to be Elric is wellcome to specify here why!
My reasons are:
Doesn't have the right physique, face, and in short, the right look!
And it's true he's a pretty good actor, but so is Jonathan Rhys Davis, but no one is thinking of taking him to play Elric cause he simply doesn't have the right look.
Really, I don't know why Mr Moorcock is agreeing to that, Bettany is gonna ruin the whole elric image to both ppl who read the book and those who didn't. Forever.
As a side note - Phoenix isn't much of a choice for Yyrkoon either, he's too wimpy looking and not as impressive as Yyrkoon should be. And no makeup in the world is gonna help that i'm afraid.
