Perfect OmKranti... you get right on that...

Maybe Bob could act it. It might cheer him up to be a famous Hollywood actor.

[quote:1f96678933="Rincewind"]lol, you guys!

Sadly, those my acting skills aren't up for it. Besides, I only looked like him during a night of heavy drinking, so you'd have to keep me tanked up throught the shoot.......on second thoughts I'M YOUR MAN!

Simon Pegg, though a brillant actor, isn't right for the part.

Stevet Coogan would be good, though he tends to play everyone as alan Partrigde these days (Alan P is wicked but not for rincewind)

A young Eric Idle, would be perfect.[/quote:1f96678933]
so it's settled then, if a discworld movie was made twnety years ago, it would be eric, but now it would be you.

Cool Bob, fudgecake.

I agree that a young Eric Idle would be ideal (pun) but I would also like to see maybe the really nervous guy called geoff from 'Coupling' do it.

What a good suggestion! Never thought of him, but I can see it working

Whilst we're going to the past, I think Graham Chapman would be much better than Eric Idle. Think of Brian and tell me that isn't Rincewind-esque!

lol, I didn't think of that. Brian basically is Rincewind after a drastic beard-cut.

I still vote for Bob though.

Cheers Sleepy_Sarge, I knew he had a real name somewhere.

Brian from the film is perfect for Rinso as well. There are so many people though who could play him well.

Brian from 'Spaced'. Would be the best Rincewind.

He's called Mark Heap (he was also in big train and the green wing) he'd be perfect for the role. He's a great comic actor and looks just like him.

I voted "someone else" and I think Adrien Brody would be a great Rincewind, due to his constant "Let me in peace!" expression.

I think I'd go with Eric Idle. It could just be due to his work in the games, though, that got me. o.o;

[quote:bfff59aba9="colonesque10"]Eric Idle would be ideal (pun)[/quote:bfff59aba9]

... Well, isn't "Idle" pronounced the same as "idle", as in "not in use"? I mean, "After Monty Python, Eric Idle has been very idle in his work." would work, but not "Eric Idle would be ideal".

Sorry, just being very nit-picking at the moment. :oops:

Edit: My idea of the movie/s is to do some a different way sort of thing. One would be live action, one cartoon, one claymation and so on. It would be very interesting.

Steve Coogan will be a fine choice. he was great in Aroun the World in 80 days

I voted Eric Idle, simply because I dnot know anyone else...I think Steve Buscemi with long grey hair and a long white (although a bit thin and scruffy) beard and a cowardly personality would be great...
