Who would you cast in the movie versions of this awesome tale?

Okay so I have quite a few faces that come to mind for certain characters and it is mostly because I love these actors but also have followed their career long enough to know that they would breathe another level of life into this story.

Elene = Lindze Letherman
Vi = Eliza Dushku
Kylar = Jensen Ackles
Durzo = Ben Browder
Momma K = Claudia Black
Wolf = Michael Shanks
Logan = Jonas Armstrong
Sister Ariel = Catherine Tate
Solon = Maximilian Carlo "Max" Martini
Feir =
Dorian = David Tennant
Neph Dada = Alan Cummings
Jeni = Hannah Murray - I know she is 19 but she pulls of teenager---still looking for the right gal
Jarl =
Kaede = Vanessa Marcil
Lantano = Tahmoh Penikett
Terah =
Godking = Would love to see Michael Chikilas because he can do anything and still make you care
Roth = Elisha Woods

Okay so I have not gotten everyone yet though I am still working on it. And yes I know that I have put Browder and Black back together again but they are such wonderful actors I can just see them totally give these characters life on screen---plus I would not mind seeing them together again---hell they are two of my favorite actors ever! Long live Farscape and SG1!
I have also put David Tennent as Dorian because I can totally see him playing the conflicted emotions and not make this a character to hate.
I thought Bruce would make a terrific baddie.
Eliza would have Vi down so tight it would be insane and Jensen just plays to Kylar's strengths. Having Jonas as Logan gives him that royal, handsome look without making it all about appearances...Jonas would be able to give him those layers the HOLE created without destroying those morals we know Logan has. As for Elene...I think Lindze is perfect and I love her so much that maybe I could like Elene!
Okay so I am going to go and cook food for Thanksgiving but I will be back to tweek my list

*I have tweaked three names either by adding a new name to one I thought made a better choice or in the case of Lantano--I just keep forgetting his real name is not Helo! I will admit that Jensen and Jonas could play either role but when I hear the sacrasm in Kylar or feel his conflictions...Jensen keeps popping into my head. I am having a hard time with Jarl...all i see is older actors...I am trying though to find someone. As for Feir I am still working on it...

you don't need to be a stick with nice boobs to be hot, the way you act and personalty go a long way to making a good looking person.

Loving these suggestions - and sooo get what you mean about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost - inseparable :P
I was seeing Timothy Spall to start with too :) but yeah I think David Tennant wins hands down...

I only have a few preferences:

Vi = Summer Glau (ok, she's not chesty, but did you see her fight in Serenity? )
Sister Ariel = Miranda Richardson
Solon = James Purefoy
Dorian = Naveen Andrews
Feir = Sean Astin
Godking - Samuel L. Jackson

Sean Astin as Feir??? Do you people even READ the descriptions?

Astin is like 5'8" Feir is huge and thick muscled. And skinny boy Sebastian Bach wouldn't pull off a convincing Feir either. Maybe a pro Wrestler with acting skills. This Feir is like a Conan-type figure.

Seriously, check Gilmore Girls - You WILL at least see I make an argument (SB is not skinny these days, either)

Ok. So any pro-wrestler... They all have acting skills.

Oh you mean the good acting ones....

The one's who have already been in movies?

I have to agree with Elike on this one, Latifah, no fit. She just doesn't have the look, I could see someone like Stacy Haiduk playing Momma K or Marg Helgenberger (though she's a little older). It just seems to me that Momma K is one of those women that grew older gracefully, and could still drag just about any guy to her bed, even if she's no longer a spring chicken.

good Momma K choices there :) I can totally see what you mean too

I don't see Jensen as a good Kylar
