Very interesting. But, she is working on a sci-fi trilogy right now.

I think that Jewel would be great cast as Mercedes Bingham. It would be even better casting if they were starting with OBS or if there are ever OBS flashbacks.


Jewel's a bit too young to play Mercedes, I think - isn't she supposed to be older with a weathered look to her?

Also, call me crazy, but I'd love to see Amanda Tapping in there somewhere. Maybe as Sonja Hemphill.

I know, which probably takes her out of the running for anything in the first movie, and she'll be too old for Abigail by the time Ashes rolls around if it ever gets made, but whenever I think of Abigail's face, I think of Shailene.

roseandheather,

Amanda Tapping!

Yes, yes, I'll second that. I have only been smitten with her since Stargate SG-1. Which pads her resume quite well as far as Sci-Fi experience.

And does anyone see any possible supermodels making the cut? there are genetically engineered beauties out there.

Well artificially engineered anyways.

Perhaps even Paris Hilton?

Splash!

Hmmmmm. Lemon Meringue, my favorite pie-in-the-face!

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

Aaaah, you know me so well. *files away mental note to never throw lemon meringue again* :lol:

Let's be honest here, this movie needs Amanda Tapping. Because Samantha Carter.

Speaking of beauties, I want Aishwarya Rai to play Eloise Pritchart. Like BURNING.

Anisimovna!
There it is!
You're a genius!

I'd also like to see Jeri Ryan perhaps as a first gen prolong recipient.

I mean, she's got two lives left! :D

Paris Hilton as Anisimovna would be great. Unfortunately Anisimovna is along way down the time line from Honor of the Queen.

I think that Jeri Ryan might actually be a prolong recipient.
