I think a silver haired Charlize Theron would be a good Alustriel. A silver-haired Kate Beckinsale would be a good Dove.
And Rory was supposed to be in the video game topic thread. As that is where we are discussing 360s and all of that fun stuff.
Which I have to tear myself away from here now, else I'll never get to play my Quake 4!!

A few things to keep in mind with movies.
It takes an average of seven years, to go from an idea to release. So if someon wanted to put a FR movie out it would be the end of 2012 before it would hit the theaters.
Books tell a story, movies show a story. The harry potter movies show how this can be a big problem.
From a producers point of view, why make a FR movie. FR the background, there interested in the story. FR may impact the merchandising side of it, but thats it really.
If its going to happen. Then it will be by a director who's a FR fan IMO.
ps My choice would be the ervis cale trilogy. |

| Well, in my opinion, I think the books I would most likely want to be made into a movie would proably be either the Finder's Stone Trilogy or the Icewind Dale trilogy. Great stories, memorable characters, and loads of action. They would really need the high end treatment like Lord of the Rings though, so they don't end up like the first two D&D movies, which while entertaining, no one would ever confuse with an fantastic movie |

| Personally I would like to see the Threat from the Sea in a movie format. I would enjoy seeing how they would protray the sahuagin. |

Actually they are making Chronicles into a movie. It is about an hour and a half animated movie based on Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

I think that a classic like Icewind Dale or the Dark Elf Trilogy should be made into a movie. That way, more people can be introduced to the world of Toril through film.

Not all of us regard those trilogies as classics. Besides, I've addressed before the reasons I think that this would be a bad idea (though not everyone shares my opinion). |

Like many other people, I'm not overly enthusiatic about the Drizzt stories. However, I don't think there is any denying that a Drizzt movie would likely be the most bankable, since RAS is the most popular FR author. |

| And, oddly enough, as much as I love Evermeet, I don't think it'd do well on the big screen. Not without a lot of already existent knowledge of the setting, at least. |
