Making my way through Carte Blanche, and I'm loving it so far, but I have a question. Who do you see when reading the book?


Daniel Craig as James Bond


Javier Bardem as Severan Hydt



Rory Kinnear as Niall Dunne



Lauren Ambrose as Bheka Jordaan



Bernard Lee as M



Karen Gillan as Ophelia "Philly" Maidenstone



Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter



Mark Benton as Gregory Lamb



More coming later!

Here's my cast for the main characters of Carte Blanche.

James Bond - Henry Cavill


Severan Hydt : Kevin Bacon


Bheka Jordaan : Lesley-Ann Brandt


Niall Dunne : David Tennant


Felicity Welling : Charlize Theron


Felix Leiter : Ethan Hawke

And I add...

Percy Osborne-Smith : Oliver Platt

Seems quite similar to the 'who would you cast' thread to me!

[DamnCoffee]

I can understand why you'd think that. It's a lot different though, if you think about it. Who you would cast in Carte Blanche is completely different to who you actually see whilst reading. For example, when I see Severan Hydt's girlfriend, her name escapes me, I see Jamie Lee Curtis. BUT if I were to cast the part, she wouldn't be my first choice.

I have to admit I saw Kim Cattrall as Hydt's girlfriend, and Michael Fassbender was definitely Bond. Someone a bit more like Paula Patton meets Naomie Harris meets Sophie Okonedo as Bheka Jordaan though.

When I first read it when it came out, totally saw Karen Gillan as Ophelia Maidenstone!
She is oh so beautiful!!!!


Also saw
Charlize Theron as Felicity
Hugh Laurie as Hydt
and Matt Smith as Obsbourne Smith

Bond and Felix were the same as now.
Craig & Wright respectively.

Well I'm glad some people thought to same as me
haha
