Thinking out loud.
Added 2023-04-13 08:51:57 +0000 UTCPeople ask me more than once if I would shoot a film adaptation about Tir na Lia and the elves, what actors would I like to see.
My answer: I wouldn't want to take on any star/superstar. I would like the viewer to see Avallaс'h, not Legolas, not Superman cosplaying Geralt of Rvia, and not Hermione Granger cosplaying Belle from Cinderella. I want to say that superstars always have a role to which they are irrevocably associated and this is a huge disadvantage. This is how human brain is working.
So if I was doing the casting, it would be young noname actors who didn't have an association with the other famous characters. And that's cool, because I would like the elves to look young and beautiful, like they should be according to the book canon.
You can write your opinion on this matter in the comments, it will be interesting for me to read.

В общем целом, сделать хорошую экранизацию почти невозможно. увы и ах.

2023-04-13 13:07:31 +0000 UTCGod forbid ever to film something in Hollywood or Europe. :D I'm not an animator, nor am I a film director. I'm comfortable making comics. This is a separate type of visual art, which is already self-sufficient.

2023-04-13 13:06:28 +0000 UTCI wouldn't do a live action movie at all. I feel someone would bungle it up for you, too much woke politics in hollywood right now (I say this as an American, not sure how much better it is elswhere). Real people cast as elves barely look live elves to me, some elven characters in LOTR were great, don't get me wrong, but the dark fae in Maleficent seemed closest to me on what elves should look like, minus the horns and wings. Have you ever thought of taking your style and creating an alternate animation story with your own universe of fair folk and humans colliding?

2023-04-13 10:40:43 +0000 UTCОчень хотелось бы шикарную экранизацию с молодыми красивыми актёрами. За не знаменитых актёров - полностью поддерживаю. Только, мне кажется, что кастинг будет суров как никогда - придется искать красавчиков.😍 Некрасивых эльфов не бывает (даже если шрам на всё лицо... или татуировка на руке и сам ведёт себя как гад).🤭 Всё равно красивые. Харизма и мастерство помимо костюмов и декораций должны быть на высоте. Просто смотреть как играет бревно в красивом дорогом костюме на фоне шикарного дворца это как сходить на рыбок посмотреть. А мне надо не аквариум, а серпентарий. 😅😈
