1. I hate that they changed Murphy's name
2. Murphy is suppose to be a short, blonde, with blue eyes not a Cuban women
3. Dresden's car will be a jeep, not a VW Beetle
4. Paul Blackthorne does not fit the descriptions of Harry in the books
5. Harry will also have a Hockey stick - COME ON

Butcher puts a lot of time into describing his charactors and Beetle so it sure would be nice if they used his descriptions.

I'll still give it a shot. But why can't Hollywood get anything right?

I'm kinda irked by the fact that they changed Karrin's name to Connie for the tv show. Every time I watch, I have a feeling that's going to bioher me. Now this could just be me being nit-picky...But Hey, thats how I feel. Anybody else on my side?

good site

I completely agree with wanting to have James Marsters be the Voice of Bob. I had the same thought after I found out he wasn't cast as Harry. Hearing James' performance as Bob is the number one thing that I look forward to while listening to the audio books. It always puts a smile on my face. No one could do a better job as the voice of Bob. If they chose anyone besides James it just wouldn't be the same.

Has anyone thought about Marsters as lets say...Thomas? I know he's done the Vampire bit with Spike and all...but i can't think of anyone better to play Harry's Smart-ass oversexed vampire half-brother...Just a thought

I am soooo excited about this series and or movie.
I did have a thought though, since James Marsters is not playing Harry, what about the voice of Bob, he would be really great in that role. Throw in a little smart alec Spike and round it out with a know it all skull, too perfect

I got into Jim's books because I'm a huge fan of "Buffy" and esp James Marsters. Funny thing is, I have yet to get the audio versions, but am well into reading "Fool Moon" and have "Grave Peril" waiting on the nightstand. Thanks for creating such a wonderful world, Jim! It's a pleasure to immerse myself in it for a few hours a day. Being from Oak Park, I may even go home next year for your convention - any chance James might come? ;-)

Anyhoo...here's hoping the casting works out with the movie. Have to admit, not too happy about the change in Murphy (I've sort of been picturing her as Elizabeth Rohm from "Angel" and "Law and Order"), but will certainly give the chosen actress a shot.

Any news yet on the voice of Bob?

I started reading this series, while i was in Iraq, and I absolutely love the books. Jim Butcher, created a wonderful set of stories, and they were a welcome escape.When I heard they were making a series, a was really excited. After reading which actors, are playing which role, I'm not too optimistic. I think they had a golden opportunity, to make a great series, and now they're going to blow it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed though.

to be honest i think that harry is better off in books they wont be able to get it right they'll probably turn him into some sort of bruce willis action hero thing.

With that casting they might as well switch Susan and Murphy's names, too. Oi. The poor actresses will have to work double time to be convincing to the fans in those roles...

i like the cast exept for morgan. i always pictured him a lot bigger. and not in a purple striped suit. thought he was more of an all black type. in fact, in storm front it says he has a black duster almost identical to harry's (minus the mantle)

I wonder if I'll ever be able to see this in the UK.

Based on dailies so far, I think you guys are going to be pretty happy with the casting. But the proof is in the pudding, so you'll be able to judge for yourselves eventually.

After looking at all of this, all I'm doing right now is crossing everything that can be crossed and praying to whatever Powers that Sci-Fi doesn't foul this up beyond all recognition like their other TV movies ("Chupacabra: Dark Seas", "Manticore", "Sabretooth", to name a few of the stinkers they've come up with).

Too young and possibly a little blacker than I had imagined.

Was a little disappointed about whos playing Morgan. I'm sure Conrad Coates is a great actor, but I just didn't picture Morgan like that.

Hugh Laurie? Hmmmm.

So who plays Michael?

Personally, I think that plays Dr. House on "House" could make an interesting voice for Bob.

Still trying to work out which "Joanne Kelly" this is, since there are a couple of entries on IMDb with that spelling or similar. I'm going with the exact match for now, but it would be nice to get confirmation. I've registered at the "Ex Isle" forum, but their confirmation process is a bit glacial :-(

Hmm... lots of actors I've never seen. Doesn't make me any less eager to see it, though.

Gah! So much entertainment to look forward to in the next six months. What's a girl to do? ;o)

Ancient Mai is from Summer Knight -- she's a member of the Senior Council of the White Council. It's a "bit part" in the books, so clearly they're expanding, altering (and adding) her role for the movie.

Groovy.

Kirimani is, I believe, an Asian-ified Carmichael.

Not too surprised by this -- Hollywood likes more ethnic diversity than the books themselves sometimes present.

Ancient Mai - Elizabeth Thai
Kirmani - Raoul Bhaneja

who? I don't remember them from storm front.
