Hatari...ohmigod love that movie, though since the movie is so old I doubt this will mean much to any of you.
Nathan Fillion in the lead because really, why would you ever NOT cast him? Ummm...Nicholas Brendon as Pockets, Daniel Craig as Kurt, Matt Damon as Chips, Natalie Portman as Brandy and Rachel Weiss as Dallas.
2. If you could turn a book into a movie, what would it be and who would you cast in the roles?
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Alan Rickman and Anthony Stewart Head as Crowley and Aziraphale...um don't know on the rest, but would love to see those to play opposite each other, especially in these roles.
3. If you were going to turn a video game into a movie, what would it be? Would it be animated or live-action?
Don't really play enough to say...
4. You're going to turn a book into a TV series. What is it? Why would it make a good TV show?
Can I cheat and say a series? Suprisingly not going to say Discworld (I think it's too well suited for book form, all the TV versions I've seen have been lacking) and I think Pern would be too hard special effects-wise for a weekly series to pull off well, but still in Anne McCaffrey's worlds, I think the Crystal Singer series would create a wealth of plot lines...then danger of the profession, the friction of the personalities. All could be good.
5. Do you generally prefer the movie versions or the novel versions of works? Usually whichever comes first. Novels that are later made into movies almost always trump the movies, but books that are based off of movies are almost always disappointing.
