odyssey cast

fine...i'll cast the odyssey...by the way, when i refer to the actor who portrays edward cullen as "cedric diggory" it is because i refuse to call him a ridiculous and pointless nickname like "spunk ransom". actors should be called by their real names(ie. billie piper, kate winslet, george clooney etc.) or by their screen names. but not some ridiculous nickname.
on to the odyssey cast...
odysseus: this one was very hard. i ended up going for robert downey jr./rufus sewell. both of them can look really wheathered if they need to/have these incredibly deep eyes...
penelope: rachel weisz. amazing actress. looks just like what i pictured penelope to look like.
telemachus: another hard one...i'm in between harry lloyd who is amazing. and michael cera, who has the awkward teen thing down perfectly...if only thomas sangster was old enough...he'd be amazing
athena: kate blanchette. must you ask?
the suitors: i was thinking that russell brand/richard armitage could play the two main obnoxious suitors. russell could be alkinoos and richard could be the other one...
kirke: angelina jolie. another obvious one.
calypso: josie maran...
eurykleia: helen mirren. amazing actress. would be perfect
nausikaa: ellen page/olivia thirlby
i think that's all the main characters. if i left out someone hugely important, tell me. also, tell me what you think of this cast...i know it's not as good as the twilight cast, but i tried

whos josie maran?

michael cera too indie? he's been in two mainstream moives. true indie actors, ie robert carlyle and marc warren would shun him for even dreaming of appearing in a major picture.

if michael cera was an indie star, he would not appear in nick and norah's after the fame with juno. in fact, he'd probably lay low, not do movies for a bit, etc. just because he was in an "indie" film does not mean he's an indie actor. Johnny depp started in indie films and is he indie?

who cares if he is indie or not...is it really worth having a debate over? how do you know what is indie or not...i thought indie was short for independent as in making independent decisions without conforming to some "norm" for indie actors. that doesn't even make sense, it's an oxymoron
