Zone, who is that as Roland? I can't make it out...

Good Ideas one and all! The Hugh Laurie thing is kind of funny, I would have never thought of him as Roland. He is a chameleon however, he played the nerdy dad in the ooey-gooey stuart little movies, now he plays the disgruntled Dr. on House. Here are some Josh Brolin pics for anyone who doesn't know what he looks like. He is young in these, but I can see him as Roland 20 years later.
Josh Brolin? NO.
Although I like Jared Leto, I don't see him for Eddie, either. *sigh*

Have you seen Requiem for a Dream?
I dunno, in that movie he is practically already Eddie to me.

There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
I LOVE Requiem for a Dream. But no.

see i'm all for a computer animation using the drawings of Jae Lee. I can't think of any actor who wouldn't mess it up. It is such topic of debate...who would, or could...or should it or shouldn't it. I have to say that i just can't see it being made right by using real actors. The comics were so amazingly well done that I think they should take that and make it into seven to ten computer animated movies.
Now as for the voices?
clint eastwood, hands down, has my vote for roland
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

Jared Leto may look the part of Eddie to me, but can he even been funny? He's always oh so serious in all his movies.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
also jared letto is a complete tool and could never never never do eddie justice, imo

Of course younger Clint is best for Roland, but otherwise, I always thought Scott Glenn would work, if you did something with the eyes. He has this bad ass carved look about him. But he is getting older too, so maybe not.
Telynn how about YOU as Roland Deschain??

Clint Eastwood in his 30's, 40's and 50's even was perfect, but now that he's in his 70's I am afraid he's too old.
I think Viggo Mortensen might work for Roland:
Not sure yet about Eddie, but I know this is wierd, but Whoopi Goldberg for Susannah works for me. They almost would have to shoot her in two hair do's-the dread lock look for the Detta, and more of a bun hair job for Susannah.
As for Jake-choose an unknown.
I guess I'm the only one for Telynn as Roland.

Whoopie Goldberg for Susannah? Thats a big "NO WAY" for me.

since seeing starship troopers, Ungela Brockman has always played the part of Detta/Odetta/Susannah in my head.
I think Leto could be a good Eddie, and not just from his acting in Requiem, but also from his acting in Lord of War. He's pretty damn funny in that movie, very Eddie-like. For instance, he made a map of the Ukraine out of a kilo of cocaine. Would Eddie and the eminent junkie do that? I think so.
Roland is so hard to cast. I'm still undecided on that one. House is to small physically to do it for me.
House is gonna hit the gym
Roland - Michael Keaton
Eddie - Seann William Scott
Susannah - Megalyn Echikunwoke
