Why is it...

that fan-made trailers are so much better than the real ones? For example, say you went to see Thor, and this was the first trailer:

But who would you cast as Louis Wu and Teela Brown? Who would you get to voice Speaker to Animals and Nessus? For Halrloprillalar, I'd want someone trained in dance. She has to be both human and very alien.

It'd be typecasting of a sort, but...Summer Glau.

What does a thing about Ringworld have to do with Thor?

I think when fans make the trailers, there are less people diluting the original idea, so the vision can be made more perfect.

As a coincidence, I just read Ringworld last week - I bought it in an used-book store somewhat by accident. It was a fun book, again, though I seem to have misplaced my Ringworld Engineers.

I'd say Summer Glau is much too young for my mental image of Prill. She'd be more suitable for Teela...

I also have a mental image of Louis Wu but can't think of anybody suitable for that. Orlando Bloom perhaps. Speaker's voice would be Samuel L. Jackson. Nessus is also tough, but I think maybe.. Cameron Diaz. She did Fiona in Shrek, which is why I though of her.

That is lovely

For Speaker, a BASS. James Earl Jones, Christopher Lee (Is he still around?), Michael Dorn (Worf), maybe Mr T.
