So we've all thought about it at least once: What if our novels got turned into movies? What would we like on the poster, what would the byline be, who would compose the score, and who would be cast? Hell, we've even discussed these things on this very forum. Somewhere. Don't ask me exactly where.
But I think we all realize that if our novels got turned into movies, there's probably a horrifyingly good chance that something would be terribly wrong with it. They'd cut out a key subplot, or bungle a thematic element. They'd horribly mispronounce character and/or place names. They could do what they did to Earthsea.
Or they could, you know, cast Miley Cyrus as the leading lady.
On that horrifying note, discuss: Which actors give you the screaming, crawling horrors when you think of them being cast as one of your characters?

Aside: This thread stemmed from Irian commenting that if MOSI were ever made into a movie, they'd probably try to cast someone super butch as Vitae. To which I replied, "Russel Crowe! gonk "
This was followed closely by Viggo Mortensen and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Tacked onto that was Tom Cruise as Nathan.
Lindsay Lohan or Ellen Paige as Sabine.
I don't remember who we thought up for Jericho and Yinda, but it was also horrifying.
Or Johnny Depp as anybody. gonk
Edit: Wait, was it Jude Law as Jericho?

I thought we decided Jude Law probably wouldn't be an entirely terrible Jericho, since he seems to at least have the ability to act smarmy on occasion.
Alternatively: Leonardo DiCaprio. xd wahmbulance
