^Maybe you could film your own fan movie? 😛

Well, I was reading way back through this and thinking about what Ariel and I have been discussing about SC through PMs.
Previously, Ariel mentioned Katie McGrath for the role of the LotGK, and I think that she could pull it off. I would be a little wary, like for Bradley James, that she would be too easily recognized as Morgana, but I think that she would still be a great choice.
I wonder if Lana Parrilla could pull it off. She plays Regina/The Evil Queen on the tv show Once Upon a Time. She's incredible in her role.

I'm in favor of a blond Rilian, and would love to see Bradley James play the role, but like many of you, I believe he'd be too recognizable. Because of what has been done with Caspian and the Telmarines, the way it's been set up in PC and VTD, I would accept a Rilian that looked more like Caspian. I'd suggest Santiago Cabrera (he plays Lancelot on Merlin).

All I know is that Jill has to have curly/wavy hair and has to be able to walk very quietly and has to be able to cry. 😆

@Engee: *considers Lana Parilla* I've always imagined LotGK as younger-looking, quite possibly because of her whole promising-her-gracious-hand-in-marriage-to-Rilian thing. And if we're fearing Katie McGrath being recognized, I would think that there's a greater risk of Americans especially recognizing Lana Parilla since she's on OUaT and OUaT is still current news.
I too would be fine with Santiago Cabrera as Rilian. I've often thought, "I could see him and Ben Barnes being related."

I like Bradley James as Rillian! I never would have thought of that but he does have the prince thing down well. 🙂

I really hope they go with a blonde Rillian. That's how I have always imagined him, and his mother is blonde anyways.

I'd bring Will Poulter back.

I hope they do. Even if he's done some serious physical maturing since VDT.

Apparently he's reaaaaaaally tall now. 😛 But it would be really mean to have him play brat-Eustace in VODT and not let him play nice-Eustace in SC and LB. I don't care how tall he is. Eustace is Eustace. Maybe they can use CG to shrink him like they did with the hobbits in LOTR... 😆

Well, at any rate, we shouldn't have the problem of Jill being half a foot taller than him, like she was in the BBC Narnias.

He did a wonderful job as Eustace and since Lucy and Edmund won't be returning he would tie in the movies and provide a bit of continuity for any that watch them. (If there's one thing I can't stand it's when an actor is replaced). The only problem is: he's not the exactly the right age nor size. Maybe he could be digitally resized but I think he still looks way more mature than he should for these films.

Ok this has probably been said before and I am not saying that it will happen but I really would love to see Cate Blanchett do LotGK! (Maybe it's just me) She has that face and that sweet trusting smile but she also has a bad side *snicker* I always think of that one scene at the end of TT when Frodo just got rid of Gollum and he's walking around then he falls over and sees her and when she smiles and offers her hand to him when someone mentions LotGK. That is what I think of. Yep. Carry on.

I've been wondering about this for a while but today while watching Great Expectations (2012) I found that Jeremy Irvine could possibly play Rilian.

He hasn't naturally light hair but dye could easily rectify that for those in favour of a lighter haired Rilian. From what I've seen in the two films I've watched, Great Expectations and War Horse, I'd say he does well in the roles he's given. So what do you think?
