chimeer Member	Posted Who would you cast as Death? I had to give it some thought, it's not an easy one. The best I can think of is Eliza Dushku though she would have to play it quite differently than Faith from Buffy. I'm sorry if there's a thread on this already...

Stainboy Member	Posted Hide Post Keira Knightly? Bleh. She's overrated. I can't think of any actress who would make a great Death. Personally, I think it'd be a great role for an unknown to play. - - - Ethos - credibility Pathos - emotional appeals Logos - logic, rhetoric

Kitmarlowescot2 Member	Posted Hide Post That can work too. I think Amy Acker would make a good Death too.

Posted Hide Post Amy Acker, yes. I don't know if she would make a good Death or Delirium, but I'd like her to be cast in the movie anyway. As anything that fits her. It's hard to detach the actress from the role she played before. Fred's personality (Angel reference) had a lot in common with Delirium. But it's also really fun to see her play something completely different, like the role she had on Alias.

Kitmarlowescot2 Member	Posted Hide Post You didn't see Amy Acker play Illyria did you, Amy can play characters that are quite different from each other in personality.

Zahrah Member	Posted Hide Post I could also see Summer Glau as Death. For those who are familiar, she was River in both Firefly and Serenity. Here's the link to her IMDb bio with a very stunning picture: Summer Glau And a larger: Summer Glau

Kitmarlowescot2 Member	Posted Hide Post Oh yes Summer would make a great Death. She already has played characters of Delirum too. River is the child of Del.

Wait, is Illyria that goddess or something that takes Fred's body in the last season of Angel? Yes, that was quite a different personality.

DNNDNDNDNDNNDNDNDN Member	Posted Hide Post Natalie Portman and Drew Barrymore are GREAT ideas to play death, I always really thought the best actress for her would be Christina Ricci, though

DNNDNDNDNDNNDNDNDN Member	Posted Hide Post OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW wait a minute, it was called 'Casting Death' not 'Chasing Death' Sorry. I'm on here at 2:00 in the morning (another 2:00 am!) and don't tend to wear my freakishly large-Robert-Crumb- similar glasses... But still, I personally think Christina Ricci should play death. She has the Goth look and the character in real life and film.

Posted Hide Post I love Christina Ricci, but I always thought that part of Death's unqiue appeal in Sandman was how serenely joyful she was, and how loving of life. Ricci really doesn't convey that ... she's more Emily LeStrange than Death, IMO. - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner.

chimeer Member	Posted Hide Post I have the same impression about Christina Ricci. Even when she's playing a completely joyful person, there's something not quite light-hearted about her. But you said it better than me.

Anea Member	Posted Hide Post I'm all about casting unknowns as much as possible. I get so tired of seeing the same actors over and over! That being said, I do think that Claire Danes would be great, and we know she's a fan. She's got the talent and the looks. (I think) As for Delirium, it should be... ME!
