the terror by dan simmons
Crozier - Johnny Depp
Fitzjames - Ewan McGregor
Goodsir - Cillian Murphy
Franklin - Tom Wilkinson
Irving - Charlie Hunnam
Hickey - Robert Carlyle
Peglar - James McAvoy
Bridgens - Anthony Hopkins
Gordon - Peter Sarsgaard
director - Tim Burton (as long as he doesnt cast Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Silence)
it's more likely that russell crowe would be cast as crozier, but i think he lacks sensitivity, and that factor is surprisingly crucial to crozier's character.
i also feel like Jamie Bell should be in this movie. maybe he could be evans.
i tried to cast Rupert Graves in here somewhere. Maybe as Peglar. Then McAvoy could be Hickey, we've never really seen him as a character like that. Could be interesting, actually. but i feel like he's too young to be Hickey, hickey seems like more of an old salt.
this would be a good role for johnny depp, i resisted him as crozier for a while because i felt like he wasnt rough and burly enough to play crozier. i tried a few different actors in the part and had trouble visualizing it. finally, i tried johnny and it fit perfectly. and johnny is such a great actor that this wouldnt be fey jack sparrow, but he would be the Crozier of the book.
and for what it's worth--i cast ewan mcg as fitzjames, but the whole time i was reading the book i was picturing billy crudup.

We need a blanky.
or did we decide on Timothy Spall? Also, what was the name of the cook?
Your next and possibly biggest challenge: The Amazing Adventures of Kaviler and Clay.
On second thought, TS is all wrong for Blanky. It needs to be someone tough, grizzled yet charming. And short, i think.
spall we may have said hickey, actually. he would be good as hickey.
pete postlethwaite is blanky. yes?
Spall as Hickey, that would be Icky!
