How would you cast a movie adaptation of The book of the new sun ?
Assuming you would have an unlimited budget.

>> No.11605991

It can’t be done
The book is sci-fi disguised as fantasy
If you were to try to film it it wouldn’t be BotNS anymore

i'd hire Jodorowsky. he'd fill it with amputee shamans and people shitting on each other, and then blow most of the budget trying to hire Salvador Dali, ignoring the fact that he's dead.

it's fantasy disguised as SF.

BOTNS needs to be a studio ghibli movie if it goes to the screen, but why even bother?
books are better than movies anyway, why sully your mind with someone else's imperfect imaginings

A younger Michelle Rodriguez sort as Agia

I think this guy should play the autarch
For some reason I just imagined Varys the whole time

He’d work too, I figure. Visually, I think, a kind of “old man Tiresias with wrinkled dugs” decrepit androgyny is the most important thing to capture.
