Chris Pine and Emily Blunt?

For Vin....I'd love to see Pedro Pascal, hair cut short, trim the mo a bit, 5 O'clock shadow, he'd be great...though slightly biased opinion as he'd seriously look good in any role. That smirk he has...perfect! Any cooler, he'd be block of ice.

For Masters, I've always pictured her as short, dark hair, natural beauty, someone like Gal Gadot, though not sure if she's short enough?

And for the movie, Death Trust, but reckon go for a short series.

David B is over the hill. No way would he fit as Vin. How about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I'm sure the sparks would fly between those two.

Since we are talking about a film franchise with several movies, lets start at the beginning, "The Death Trust" and work from there.

Pratt for sure (Bradley Cooper is a bit too pretty): Any of the women for Anna, but definitely HARD RAIN, and please just get on with it!

Oh and for a female lead, Amber Heard…

Amber Heard. Yep, I can see that. Good to throw that net wider, as with Boreanaz

I think David Boreanaz would be great. He’s dry but can be witty and sarcastic, good looking, has a presence about him and my wife tells me he’s not a bad sort. Matt Damon would be good too. I really like Ryan Reynolds but he’s too much a smart arse for this role I think, I can’t see him in the scenes where Vin loses people. Cris Pratt would be the pick of the ones you’ve listed I think.

Hi David, I would like to add my pennies worth re actors for your movie. Ryan Reynolds as Cooper. Ryan has played some good parts. A bit of humor, clever and a bit witty. And Kerri Russell as Masters. She has played a spy. Then again any of the actresses mentioned would be good. My first choice of books would be Death Trust. Then I read your choice and I agree. I have read a lot of Roman novels. In all, it seems the Romans, reached the Indian boarder and never reached China. Having said that it appears there may have been a lot of trading with China. I am not expert on Roman. Ted M

Hey Shaz, are you some kind of savant casting director? I am a huge fan of Pascal's. He was great in NARCOS. And Gal Gadot! What a pairing that would be. I hadn't considered Gal. She is a wonderful actor as well as being genetically blessed. Definitely a dream team those two!

Ha! No just goggled dark haired actresses over 30, looked at images for 5 mins and came up with Gal. Yes Narcos was excellent, though most of his recent followers are due to the Mandalorian, which I loved but we didn’t see his face often enough for my liking😜. He has that suave confidence to be a great Vin Cooper…go the dream team!

David Boreanaz. Interesting choice! Anyone else for Boreanaz?

David Rollins's avatar

Nice, Teddy. Yes, Reynolds would be a great choice for Cooper. The whole Deadpool thing is right up Cooper’s ally. I’m watching THE AMERICANS at the moment. Love Russell. She’s an amazing actor.

Chris Pine and Emily Blunt? PS You are right on the money re: China.

I'd like to see Wes Chatham in the role. He's a big dude and can be threatening with either his body or his face. Think he could also "play dumb" until such time as it was time to play seriously.
