If you could pick your own cast for the movie what actors and actresses would you choose for the part and why?

I'd want nobodies. I don't want people to be seeing the movie just for a specific celebrity involved.

I think that Jennifer Connely, from The Labyrinth, would be a good candidate for Boa. What do you think?

The more people watch the movie, some of 'em get interested in Abarat (assuming it's a good movie. If it's a horrible movie, I will personally kill the director), and read the books. I don't think you could really do a live-action Abarat movie--it's just too bizarre. It'd have to be CGI. Although Narnia was part-CGI, so maybe you could make a live-action and have it heavily CGI'ed.

A nobody for Candy would be awesome, but only if she could act. Cillian Murphy for somebody....anybody...as long as he had a decent amount of screen time *drool*. And I could see Tim Curry as someone, maybe Hat Dude (can't remember his name, I'm super tired). Just someone evil (Oh, and on a completely other note I'm going to see RHPS tonight). But this is just my funny thoughts. (Daniel Radcliffe as Letheo? )

Aw, Dan Radcliffe he's so sweet. I love the way he talks in interviews, he always seems so nervous. He certainly has the abs to play Letheo.
I'm so jealous you're seeing RHPS! I would totally love to be doing that tonight. Leeeeets do the Time Warp agaaaaain!!

I know, it's so cute! *hugs cuteness* And yeah, they have a show the last Friday of every month, and my friend Jimmy and I haven't missed one yet (there's only been four, but hey!). He goes as the very *friendly* person Eating Bush (Everyone loves it) and I go as Rocky Horror. We've gotten front row twice and front row house right another time. They're hiring and we are thinking of "auditioning" in Feb when he turns 17 (they won't let us because of the rating, and I don't want to do it alone so I will just wait). But anyway, it's tons of fun.

I like completely forgot that kid was in Sweeney Todd! I only recognized him as that kid playing Gellert in the new Harry Potter movie He definitely has that dark, broody look for Letheo!

I would LOVE Jamie Campbell Bowers as Letheo ... I think. I love that guy hahaha.
I want a movie soooo bad. But I'd rather have the next book out for sure. I can't wait any longer!!!!

I'm very surprised to find that nobody's mentioned the obvious Steve Buscemi = Rojo Pixler thing. On the other Abarat forum I was on everyone was in agreement about it, and someone even made a pretty nifty photoshop of him as Pixler.
As for anyone else...I could definitely see Doug Jones as Mendelson Shape. Being the makeup-actor extraordinaire that he is, he should definitely have SOME role in the movie. I could see James McAvoy as John Mischeif - I don't really know why, but he comes to mind.
Candy and Malingo would both be newcomers, Wolfswinkel would be an established actor (don't know who though, NOT DeVito, for god's sakes), and Jimothi Tarrie would be voiced by not played by Morgan Freeman (just something I always imagined). Houlihan could also be someone famous. Jason Statham?

i can't believe how many movies jamie bowers has been in. How does he manage to look completely different to me every time? X-X
and I love your pixler and Shape ideas--two definitely creepy dudes. I'm going to have to think about the others for awhile though. I haven't been struck by anyone definitely yet.

If they had made a Abarat movie during 2002-2008, I would suggested Stephanie Leonidas as Candy Quackenbush. She played Helena/Anti-Helena in "Mirrormask" I think she made a great job! If you have seen the movie, you know what I mean when I say that her looks and actingskills would have been perfect for the role as Candy. But unfortunatly she`s now a bit to old to play the role and thats a pity!

alexander skarsgard as carrion--he's tall enough, he has the right build, and he would be able to have hints of beauty under the make up, which is the only way to show the carrion's complexity on film since you can't read his thoughts
cillian murphy as rojo pixler, cillian's eyes once rojo pixler merges with the requiax...
shannyn sossamon as boa (but she might be too old now)
jane lynch as mater motely
candy is going to be very hard to cast

These sound like very good choices. ;D Candy would have to be someone fairly unknown I think.
