King's Quest Actors

TheReturnofDMD · July 03, 2010, 11:33:08 PM

If there was ever a KQ movie made, who would you want for each character?

I'm not sure about the other characters, but here are my three picks for King Graham and Prince Alex:

Harrison Ford (KQ5/6 era Graham/1990-1994 era Ford)
Tom Selleck
Tommy Lee Jones (the character drawing in the KQ6 hint book looks like him)

Alexander:
(Young) Richard Gere
(Young) Kevin Kline (around the age he was in Sophie's Choice)
Shia LeBeouf

King Edward:
(with age makeup) Sam Neil
Patrick Stewart

Hmm, an interesting question. But I'm not movie-savvy enough to really know who would be good, much less who I have to choose from.

I think Amy Adams from "Enchanted" should play Princess Rosella. She's got plenty of experience playing a princess!

Enchantermon · July 04, 2010, 09:07:00 PM

Or Brooke Nevin.

Oh, and Michael Gambon as King Edward (since I can't have Richard Harris.

).

Though I enjoy Shia LaBeouf, I shudder at the idea of him as Alexander! Gah!

Harrison Ford as Graham would be great...well, maybe ten years ago, at least. He's a bit old for it now. But he is the person whom we based the image of Graham on in our game.

Ah, perhaps Henry Ian Cusick, aka Desmond from Lost?

Amy Adams as Rosella, perfect!

I wouldn't mind seeing Julian Morris as Alexander. Right look and I've seen him in a few things, I think he could make it work.

(Plus, cute guy + British accent = even cuter!)

If not him, then Jensen Ackles with dyed hair. He could DEFINITELY rock Alexander's tortured soul thing.

Valanice, hmm....Julianne Moore could be a great Valanice. Maybe with a little age makeup.

Hahahaha! I guess Alex DOES have kind of a "tortured soul thing" going on. Never thought much about it, but you're right.

And that's thrilling that you based Graham off of Harrison Ford! I've been in love with the man since I was two. Seriously, I'd put in the Star Wars tape pretty much just so I could see Han Solo. I think that's how I became a Star Wars fan.

I'm gonna add a vote for Jensen Ackles as Alexander. I don't even care if he dyes his hair to the right color, he's just so perty!

KatieHal · July 06, 2010, 02:50:02 PM

And such an awesome actor, too

(LOVE Supernatural!)

Would he search for the fugitive treasures in the first game himself, or get a team to do it for him?

"Alright, listen up people. Our fugitive treasures are somewhere in the land of Daventry. That gives us a radius of six screens. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every castle, residence, cave, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area."

Definitely not Shia LeBeouf. He should have stopped after Holes, imho.

Rosella · July 07, 2010, 04:41:24 PM

I haven't seen him in anything after Holes (which I loved for some reason

) but I can't imagine taking him seriously as an actor. Of course, that's probably WHY he's taking all of these serious roles, but...the hair.

B'rrr · July 07, 2010, 05:55:27 PM

Dane Cook for Alex! or maybe too old *ponders*

Kiera can be his wife *nods*

Enchantermon · July 07, 2010, 09:19:27 PM

Just had the thought that Heath Ledger might be a good Alexander. Then I remembered.

Haids1987 · July 07, 2010, 11:23:54 PM

Peter Facinelli would make a good Alexander, if he were a few years younger (like during the time he was in Can't Hardly Wait.) He's got that strong look about him, plus he's dark and handsome.

Sean Connery would be a good King Edward, I think. And of course, Harrison Ford would be the best King Graham ever.

I can't think of anyone good for Cassima, though.

Everyone I think of is too young or too blonde.

Megan Fox?
Sorry, someone had to say it.

I heard the are doing amazing things with dying hair and such

crayauchtin · July 08, 2010, 03:26:39 PM

I'd rather see Keira Knightly as Cassima.

Or Angelina. Hahahaha.

Haids1987 · July 08, 2010, 04:33:54 PM

See, I don't think Kiera is dark enough. I'm not just talking about hair, I'm talking about skin. And Angelina...just...no!

I've never seen a Megan Fox movie before, but she's dark. Hmmm. Cassima is my favorite KQ character, so whoever were to play her would have to be perfect!

Yup. Dark hair, dark skin, and pretty. She's only been in a few major roles.
