I'm going to be a girl for a minute here.
I love the series Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Love it. I've read every book many, many times and I'm currently pacing the floor waiting for the new book which is due.. to.. arrive.. any.. day..
I've daydreamed about the characters, I've planned out the movie in my head. Shame no one is asking me my casting ideas because I've thought long and hard about it. We're talking countless hours here.
What's that, you say? You want to know who I'd cast? I'd be happy to share that with you, thank you so much for asking!
Claire Beauchamp (Randall, Fraser): Anna Friel. She's young, she's English, she's feisty. The curly hair is a bonus character addition. Did you see her in Pushing Daisies? She's stinking cute. And she kinda looks like Diana Gabaldon, a little teensy bit. I could see her holding her own against a tall Scotsman.
Jamie Fraser (not posting his entire name): Either Oliver or James Phelps (they are twins, so take your pick). They are young, tall, redheaded, have the long, catlike face, and they are English--I can imagine they could swing Scottish. They are both stinking cute and have charismatic personalities. They are best known as Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter movies. Imagine long hair and kilts. All I'm sayin'.
The rest of the casting is incidental, right? There are plenty of others, but those two are the ones that have occupied my thoughts lately. I get a little overzealous when a new Gabaldon book comes out.
