Yep, some padding and some prosthetics and you get Brienne the beauty, I hope they leave the line: "there is no being more unfortunate than an ugly woman" in Cat is such a bitch

I'm about halfway through SoS and then I'll start FFC. Pre-ordered DWD at Amazon so I can start it as soon as I'm ready.

I hate when people confuse film noir with literature noir. It's not the same thing and stop painting everything thats film noir as literature noir

I had to google "literature noir" and apparently it's a clothing brand.

Joseph Fiennes as Stannis Baratheon and Eva Green as Melisandre would certainly rock. I think Green may still be a pipe dream; she'll probably head back to film. But to be fair, she did sign up to do Camelot on Starz, so if HBO comes calling I'm sure she'd hear them out.

Joseph Fiennes as Stannis Baratheon

What? If anything, he would have made a good Renly.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #730 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:00:45 PM »

True he looks more like Renly than the actor they chose, but he's also in his early 40s making him more in Stannis' range imo.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #731 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:19:46 PM »

Fiennes just doesn't cut much of an imposing physical figure. I liked the suggestion of Mark Strong in the GAF thread (one of those threads, at least).

Diunx · « **Reply #732 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:20:31 PM »

I could see him as Mance Rayder too.

You're right, Strong would be perfect. I was just thinking about Fienness due to the tweet, but hmm...the more I think about it the more I like your idea.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #734 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:42:14 PM »

while reading the book I pretty much was picturing Mark Strong as Stannis.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #735 on:** July 12, 2011, 04:51:33 PM »

I pictured Stannis much older but the face in my mind I cannot easily translate to an actual actor

Diunx · « **Reply #736 on:** July 12, 2011, 09:07:17 PM »

The thing about stannis is that even thought he is younger than robert I always pictured him as older.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #737 on:** July 12, 2011, 10:19:22 PM »

He's described as looking older due to the...company he keeps.

I'm about halfway through Storm of Swords:

Yes! That would work but I agreed that he's aged past the point where I think it would work. A bald actor with a similar look would be perfect.

Dunno about Stannis. By all accounts he's a good actor, and I'm probably just having a hard time picturing him as Stannis due to all the pics of him smiling lol

To be fair (i'll put this in spoilers, but it's not really a spoiler):

spoiler (click to show/hide)

AFFC focuses primarily on the south and east, while ADWD focuses on the north. With that in mind it's not a spoiler to say Stannis is in book 5. The books intersect, with ADWD surpassing it by 400 or so pages.
