SPOILERS Lets Cast - 'Guards! Guards!'

Seriously? You liked Irons? I thought it was almost outrageous :x , he looked to me as if he was trying to mime Connery doing the old wiseman, without getting it right. I thought in that moment 'next time someone insists on casting Jeremy Irons for a fantasy movie i won't watch it' so i hope they never recast him for Vetinari.
Well, everyone has his opinions
I never thought of Terence Stamp, but he's better than Irons, I would give him a chance
I admit i don't know Charles Dance, I'll google the name

I just googled Kegin McKidd... yeees, he would be a nice Carrott..but i've found this site www.kmyburgh.com/gallery.htm and I think Kirsten Myburgh would be very good to play Carrot. What do you think?
p.s. i thought, until today, that Kirsten was only a female name..

Every time someone says Hugh Laurie would make a good Vimes all I can see is HL playing Bertie Wooster or dad in Stuart Little 
I know he's a whole lot tougher and hyper-cynical in House but - No! It's just a push too far I'm afraid.
Johnny Depp as Vetinari? I can sort of see that in the attitude department although he's really too flippant, but he's far too cute physically and in a way he's like Pierce Brosnan was playing Bond - you just can't imagine him being really ruthless despite the evidence of your own eyes. Vetinari's not got any playfulness about him at all and JD can't help but do that whoever he's playing.
Now Stephen Fry (HL's sometime comedy partner) would be brilliant as being Vetinari on the cerebral side of things as he can do cruel snidey, superior intellect and coldly calculating to the nth degree :twisted: Pity he's a bit too pampered looking (plump) although he does look a bit like a prize fighter (he's got a glorious broken-looking nose), is very tall and has a decidedly Patricianly manner about him. But he's such a big old softie I don't think he could quite crack it - Charles Dance is pretty well cast in that role I'd say.

There you go Tina Hugh in full comedy flood and Stephen Fry (who I reckon could carry off Vetinari in manner and voice at least) [edit as YT's withdrawn the other one - playing Lord Melchet (he of the golden breasts Hugh's the tallest of the 1st 3 stag night guests)]
Hugh's not done much 'straight' acting really, but he's been in Stuart Little, the 1st live action 101 Dalmations as the taller of Cruella's henchmen and Maybe Baby opposite Joely Richardson (film of Ben Elton's book Inconceivable)

Don't know if any of you are registered with BBC Points of View forum, but the above link is a discussion about TP's movies.
It actually started out as a thread about Terry on BBC Breakfast, but you know how these things go off topic!
They're wondering why he went with Sky to make the movies, as he loathes that type of company, or somesuch.
Perhaps one of you could answer, or let me have something I could copy/paste over to there?
Ta muchly.
Oook!

I *think* I heard something about TP saying that he went with Sky because they were offering the most creative control/involvement and he hadn't liked how other companies wanted to change the plots/characters. That's only based on vague recall of something I saw on tv though (possibly on a behind-the-scenes/making of documentary for one of the films).
