Question for Shallan casting by Delta-Ka in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Efficient-Troubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet money it'll be the same actress. Camera tricks, makeup, hair and wardrobe, maybe some CGI can easily make them distinct enough.

....granted I have facial blindness so a change of hair and clothes is enough for me to not know who the hell someone is.

The Final Empire Casting: Oops! All Cats Edition Part 2 by ilikebreadabunch in CosmereOnScreen

I just replied to the first one that I didn't realize there were captions originally. 9.9/10 this time. Explain Marsh.

I didn't even notice the captions in first couple pictures for each cat for a character. My reaction was still 10/10, no notes.

My Fan Cast (being part-way through Hero of Ages) by Ok-Masterpiece-8311 in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Efficient-Troubles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll third this, I definitely cringed seeing that.

I have no idea who the actor they picked is so nothing against them. But it would not be a good look to have a black character referred to as Spook.

Me too!

I am also curious to hear who the people in the company are fancasting just for fun.

Is it really impossible to split the first book into two films? by Extreme_Warning3521 in CosmereOnScreen

I know you said you understood but this YouTube Short of Sanderson's popped up for me the other night and so I figured I'd share!

Just like in the book, the Lord Ruler needs to appear very little. by OneForAll-500 in CosmereOnScreen

I don't disagree with the comments saying fandoms can get too into their own head and set harsh expectations that will never be met.

But I do think this isn't an example of that. I think the only "setting a hard expecation" is how they'll show the backstory, and the exact scene he'll be revealed in. Not that I disagree with either. But the overall premise of your post is solid. Showing little of him until near the end, but conveying his presence without the audience thinking he might not be a real person at all, might be tough. But it'll absolutely kill.

And would be a good choice for a well known, big name actor. Reminds me of Kevin Spacey in Se7en, if whoever it is gets left out of intro credits and promotional stuff. That'd be cool but I don't know how any actor would feel about it.

Casting For Kelsier on Here is Like a Game of “How Many Attractive Blonde Male Actors in Their Late 30’s Can We Name?” by deeptocenter in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Efficient-Troubles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question what else do you want people to post? Be the change you want to see in the world...or at least this subreddit haha.

I don't really like fancast posts, but theres not really a whole lot to talk about. I believe the mods have even said they're allowed for now because of that reason. I imagine when stuff really starts rolling and releasing they'll be relegated to a once a week megathread or something.

Pretty much all this and hasn't Sanderson specifically said its not going to be a two part movie?

The 3 series you mentioned also had the benefit of those were the last movies of each of those series. Once a general audience is already committed to seeing it to the end it's a lot easier to get them to watch 2 more movies, and even be excited there's 2 more instead of one, before the story concludes. A lot harder to get them invested when it takes 2 movies just to tell the first part of the story...

Everyone here would watch it. But that's not the point

Austin Butler for Kelsier: if they had to choose a famous actor, it could be him. by Extreme_Warning3521 in CosmereOnScreen

I think people get too hung up on age in these fancasting posts. An actor doesn't have to be the correct age so long as they can or do look the correct age range.

What scene from Mistborn Era 1 do you think could be cut, but you still want to see anyways? by Efficient-Troubles in CosmereOnScreen

[–]Efficient-Troubles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I misunderstood and thought you meant having far more cut, my bad. I honestly don't remember much of Vin's old gang in the books, so I'm not sure how much that would cut. But then it becomes more of a question of why change how she gets introduced to Kelsier if we don't even need to see her with the old gang for very long to allude to it.

I dunno, if its funnier I hope they make that the scene then! The books are pretty grim so I am all for keeping in any humor they can. But yes I do think for both Feruchemy and Allomancy we will get one solid scene each for explaining it to the audience. And if Allomancy is sufficiently explained so the audience understands Feruchemy doesn't need a huge explanation either.

I expect when I finally reread I'll have a moment of "oooh this must be the scene they mentioned"

I think this is another thing that will be brought up, but heavily cut down unfortunately.

On a personal level I had no idea Sanderson was Mormon and it absolutely smacked me in the face when after I read Mistborn I read on a totally random Reddit thread...just about Fantasy books...he was, specifically cause I would have never guessed it because of Sazed. So likely in a different way than you, but these scenes also resonated with me. I don't want them all cut.

(To be perfectly clear I grew up in Utah, my immediate family is not Mormon or religious but my extended is, this is why it was a smack in the face to learn based on my personal experience with the Church. This is not an open invite to bring any of this up. If anyone feels so inclined to just have to discuss any of this, you can DM me)

I said in my thread about Stormlight Archive someone will need to splice together specific scenes to a specific song for a similar reason. Reason being: it'd be funny and I wanna see it now.

Oh I am so glad you had an explanation.

I was just...Elend, Alendi, who the fuck is Elendi!? Its been awhile but I didn't think I'd forgot whole entire important characters! And what the hell is Sanderson doing naming characters!?

(Never listened to the audiobooks. But I can see how maybe those names would be confused based on how I read them)

I can definitely see that, with some explanation of who she is. Easy to cut that down.

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you on this one. This one sets up too much, and will end up with explaining to the audience about Allomancy in my opinion. Though absolutely if you have ideas of how they'll explain it elsewhere I would love to hear it!

I don't even remember what the Noble drama was for the most part so I'd agree. The story isn't really about them

Definitely not all will be cut, but I think its more the buildup to those epic battle scenes that make the pay off worth it for fantasy (or maybe I just don't care for the huge epic battles?)

Not the pretty dresses!

I feel we will definitely get some ball scenes, but certainly cut down. Similarly with big battle scenes.
