Who would you cast to play your Hunter(s)?

Unread post by Niabi »

From a hypothetical point-of-view, if "World of Warcraft" were ever made into a full-length live action motion picture: Which actor(s) and or actress(es) would you cast to play your Hunters(s)?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


I pondered this very idea for myself and my own characters and this is what I've come up with so far ...


1. My Tauren Hunter, Khau, would be portrayed by either one of two possible talents, Michael Clarke Duncan or Ving Rhames.
Image Image
Both actors possess the physical prowess to best represent a Tauren imo and are excellent performers in their own right. Michael Clarke Duncan (pictured left) is known from such films as Armageddon, The Green Mile, Planet of the Apes, Daredevil, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, etc. Ving Rhames (pictured right) is known from such films as Pulp Fiction, the Mission Impossible movies, Con Air, Day of the Dead, etc.



2. My Human Huntress, Saerra, would be portrayed by Kate Beckinsale.
Image



3. My Forsaken Huntress, Synestra, would have to be played by the infamous Helena Bonham Carter.
Image
Her past performances in such darker films as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Planet of the Apes, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince plus Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1 and 2, etc. practically makes her a perfect candidate to play an Undead character imo.



That's all I have for now but I'd like to see who you guys would cast for your own Hunters and Huntresses. It'll be fun and interesting to see the collaboration of Hollywood stars everybody can come up with!

I love this haha

I'd probably cast Milla Jovovich as Niliana my blood elf huntress:
Image

Bryce Dallas Howard as Tantomile my blood elf paladin:
Image

And Anna Paquin as my lowbie pvp bloodelf priestess,Seranth:
Image

I'd probably take Natalie Portman if she was available as well :P I used to roleplay on forums when I was in highschool, so I spend a lot of my time thinking who would play my hunters or even myself (Amber Tamblyn ftw? yes) because we used celebrities to represent our characters.

For my druid, defo Cate Blancett - I loved her look as Galadriel.

Image


My huntress would be Liv Tyler, with the look from lord of the rings

Image


My bloodelf, Mila Jovovich with the look from resident evil

Image


My human shadow priest would be Helena Bonham Carter. I agree with Niabi that she is superb in dark roles. I know it says hunters but she be perfect for my shadowpriest :D -and this picture would be good for her look as a shadowpriest too :D

For my main BE hunter it would have to be Erin Cummings ala Sura from Spartacus season one.
Image

For my Draenei Alt I have no idea. She's a new toon so I have to get a better grasp on her.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


4. I think that, for my Draenei huntress, Niabi, I would cast Charlize Theron to play the role.
Image
Not only do I find her insanely (and almost unfairly) gorgeous as a human being, she also has that tall and toned look that would be perfect for the role. Like some of the other actors/actresses in my former post, her performances in physical roles greatly influenced my final choice. She is best known in such movies as The Devil's Advocate, The Italian Job, Aeon Flux, Hancock, etc.




5. For my Night Elf huntress, Lilyth, it would have to be Angelina Jolie.
Image
Another beautiful actress with phenominal acting credentials to boot! Jolie possesses that exotic quality in her features which I find more fitting for playing a Night Elf character.




6. For my Blood Elf huntress, Auroryn, I would cast Rebecca Romijn to play the role.
Image
Again, we have another gorgeous and svelte actress but with that "girl next door" aura. She is best known for her roles in such movies as X-Men, X-Men 2, X-Men: The Last Stand, a small cameo in X-Men: First Class, Femme Fatale, etc. Her performance as Mystique in the X-Men movies greatly influenced my final decision.

7. Casting the role for my Dwarf huntress, Ghiselle, proved a little more challenging; after all, not all actresses are designed to pull off a wise-crakin', gun-totin', punch-you-in-face-while-knockin'-back-a-frosty-beer type of character! I think I found that kind of gal for just such a role in Drew Barrymore.
Image
Drew's height stands at 5' 4", making her one of the shorter actresses among leading ladies today. She's sassy and super cute with an awesome sense of humor. I believe she has what it takes to pull off my tomboyish Dwarf without being completely over-shadowed by the taller co-stars. Considering all the visual effects and make-up mastery film makers have at their disposal now-a-days, making Drew appear more dwarf-like in stature shouldn't be too difficult a task either.




8. That just leaves my Troll Huntress, Kadija, which by far is even more difficult to cast than my Dwarf. The one person that keeps comming to mind, and I think it's because of her performance in Avatar, is Zoe Saldana.
Image
Zoe has also starred in such films as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Star Trek, Crossroads, etc. I have no doubt in my mind that her portrayal of a feral Troll character would be less than superb.

If only for his rather awesome portrayal of Prince Nuada in Hellboy.

To play Tårnfalks husband i can think of no other then the actor who play spike in buffy: I always liked him WAY more then Angel. Rawr - his evil traits would fit well with Tårnfalks innocent look as Liv tyler but in game she has a twisted dark side ..

He is soo RAWR

Jennifer Lawrence, maybe. Someone who can do good angry, but still be likable. I was thinking of Mila Kunis but she might be too "sexy-feral" instead just "hermit-angry". Sherbe is a contrary, hotheded and bitter just-barely-adult, a very atypical draenei.
My Draenei priestess Agape would be a mix or Amanda Seyfried and Cate Blanchett. She's a young but devout person with a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders.

I can't think of anyone for my NE or gnome yet, will update if I do.

Hydra sig by Vephriel, may this hydra soon befriend Sherbe!
