Who Should Play: The Others

**Hurlz** · September 10th, 2006, 12:54 AM

Well I've noticed that who should play Maerad, Cadvan, Hem etc. if there was a Pellinor movie adaption is a widely discussed and debated topic around here. So...
I was curious to see if people had ideas for some of the more minor characters. (eg. the Elidhu, Nerili, Saliman etc.)

hahahaha, this thread sounds like something outta lost

anyhow i was wonderin how would one go about casting the elidhu(sp?)
they gots to all look 'not human' but inaway resemble eachother - i was thinkin that there would be alot special effects involved in order to get the look right.

I think it would be kind of like how they did the elves in LotR....

The problem with making movies of the Pellinor books is that all fantasy movie directors are going to fall back on LotR for most of their inspiration....And we don't want that.

I think simply the special effects put behind the cat-irises would be enough to distinguish them from humans/bards.

Yeah it does sound like something out of Lost...I've got Lost on my mind atm as my friends are doing a parody of it for a movie the co-ordinator has asked us to do :P

Do elidhu have pointy ears?

I can't remember...but I think they should look like other bards, except for the cat irises, and maybe they could look more graceful than normal people.

**Ebi** · September 11th, 2006, 03:31 PM

i also think they should sound abit different than the bards etc.

**~Mairead~** · September 11th, 2006, 03:37 PM

yeah, like musical or something like that

Ethereal, that's what I was thinking of.

I don't think so, but somehow I think they should be more [insert the right word here

] than bards. Somehow, not quite so solid. Not like you can see through them or anything, but....You know what I mean?

transparent?

**Ebi** · September 12th, 2006, 06:11 AM

how about 'fluid'?

**Cait** · September 12th, 2006, 06:35 AM

i think they should be very graceful, fluid, all of those words. also pale, especially ardina. kinda tall, plae, blondie and able to glide along the floor. tall so they can look down on everyone else. i am really just describing galadriel and the elves from LoTR arent i? oh well thats how i see them.
