Title: In Her Majesty's Name - the Movie!
Post by: Craig on 16 February 2014, 10:59:15 AM
That got your attention didn't it  lol

If there was ever a movie who would you cast and why?

We need casting for Lord Curr's Co. and The Society of Thule :) and a decent Director...

I would love to see a version featuring the cast of Sesame Street versus the Muppets.
 :D

I would definitely see Mads Mikkelsen as part of the Thule cast. Guess he'll be a great cold driven minion leader or field agent of some sort, one prompt to turn his men into undead scourge.

I am a cheapskate about non-miniatures entertainment but I would pay money to see this one!

If you're going that far, why not also include the Wombles. Militant litter pickers!

Not really wargaming though, is it...

No.

I was referring to Muppets.....

Though if you could find/make the miniatures then it would be wargaming related...

Right, not so likely...

Rather than seing a movie based on this idea I'd be happier seeing some AARs using these rules.  >:D

You can find a plethora of AAR's on the blog under the category 'Heroic Engagements!"

Dont be silly, old chap, that would be far too old skool.

This child board seems to be all about 'talking' about painting and gaming and not actually doing anything.
Although, to be fair, there are a couple of stalwarts of the 'old guard' who still paint, make and play games and even post the evidence of it.

I had high hopes at the beginning but am not too keen on the direction it has taken since and shall confine my VSF activities to the main board in future, where there seems to be evidence of more people actually 'doing' something rather than waffling about the possibility that they 'might do' one day...

Lord Curr's Company:
Having watched Golden Compass recently - definitely Daniel Craig in a suit for Lord Curr
Lady Felicity - Emily Browning (mostly for Sucker Punch), although Abbie Cornish could be good as well (I tend to favour local actors) - for that matter, Mia Wasikowska to be very local :)
Mohan Singh - Naveen Andrews (Bride & Prejudice, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)
Mad Mick McFarlan - Simon Pegg, just to hear his attempts at a Scottish accent again...
The Incorrigibles -Basically action stars that are getting a bit too old for action - Hugh Jackman, Brendan Fraser, Bruce Willis (any of the Red cast really), Sylvester Stallone etc...

Terry Gilliam to direct.

Surely that would bring in the Gilliam Effect and put the project into development hell for 15 years or cause a member of the cast to drop dead? ;)

Christoph Waltz would have to be in the Thule contingent.

After seeing what he's capable of these days I'd also put Jerome Flynn into Curr's company somewhere too.

Curt Jurgens for leader of the Thule Society (unfortunately, he's long since deceased).

He would be an excellent choice, with Werner Herzog playing an unhinged Dr Kobalt  :D

Actually, I saw Klaus Kinski as Dr. Kobalt.  Oliver Reed (in his slimmer days) would have made a good Lord Curr.

Oliver Reed? Not a bad choice. Perhaps Brian Blessed could do it instead! "von Stroheim's' ALIIIVE!?"

rats! the cops already got us!  :D



I agree with Terry Gilliam directing, but would like to add Martin Scorsese

but why don't you first collect movies that already go along the premise, like "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"  or "Wild Wild West"
