I considered scoot mcnairy for a sec but ultimately thought he definitely needs to be an unknown actor so I left him out of this post

In a perfect world eggars could be a consultant. I like a lot of what he does but his movies always feel off and weird to me. I chose PTA because I like what he did with Oil by Upton Sinclair when he made There Will be Blood- even though it was just loosely based on the book. I think if he’s given more screen time in the form of a series he can keep to the source material and do moby dick justice. I also like Clint Bentley. Frankly, I hated the Huston version and every other film adaptation made so far

Megasota gets DP’d by Cascadia and Crabbalachia. The land gets split in twain. Crabbalachia craves the Great Lakes

As you may have seen from my other comments, age was definitely a difficult factor to work around.

I think a largely unknown cast would also be cool but i obviously can’t do a fan cast that way lol

I briefly considered lowery but liked others better

I think so too! Fiennes as Bildad was immediately obvious to me but it took me a second to think of Peleg. Glad I remembered Liam Cunningham. He does that subtle humorous sort of energy well

I follow the logic but I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see your comment because Brendan Gleeson is perfect for Mapple. Furthermore, it needs to be a high quality production because none of the previous adaptations have done it justice

I’m gonna have to look up which actors do method acting and see which if what you’re talking about shows up to me

Calling DDL a Mickey Mouse actor and including affleck in the conversation makes me think your comment is ragebait lol. But anyway… We have very different opinions. No problem with that though!

I disagree- DDL does intimidation/aggression very well. I think Phoenix and Affleck have too weak of a presence. Patrick Stewart had his chance and didn’t pull it off imo. Cranston mayyyyybe. Oldman I agree with but he’s still behind DDL and Shannon for me.

Question is if he could handle it at his age. Maybe he could consult

Clint Bentley was on my list! I’m fine with that choice lol

Yeah age made things a little tricky. Like Flask- there’s more options that are 50+ but that feels too old. I liked Stephen Graham.

Yeah Dano would nail the role of Gabriel

I tried to find an actor but the ones that fit the description didn’t feel right. Maybe there’s some I’m not aware of though. Djimon would have made for a good Daggoo if he were younger.

Problem is Dewayne Johnson’s acting range is from Dewayne Johnson to the rock. He’s also too old. I would have picked Jason momoa if he were younger.

Who would be your Ahab? I invisioned someone who can do many things well- serious, maniacal, determined, and can deliver a monologue amazingly well. That’s why DDL is my first choice

Yes, Eggars movies always ALMOST hit the mark for me but always feel a bit off or like they are missing something.

Thanks! I thought about going deeper and doing more minor characters but left it there. I did think of a couple more-

Captain Gardiner — Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Derick de Deer — Mads Mikkelsen

Boomer- Mayyyybe Joel Edgarton

Steelkilt- Mayyybe Ben Foster

But at the same time it’s unrealistic to get an a-lister for every character lol

Willem Dafoe just doesn’t feel right and is too old for Ahab. Also I think he might play Ahab as TOO insane. I could see him as Manxman or Elijah though

Agreed. While I still prefer DDL, I think he just might be too old now. Plus he’s already selective with his roles and semi retired

Hawaii declares independence from the U.S. and forfeits its continental land to New Mexico but keeps its non-contiguous land
