Moby Dick limited series fan cast
Some notes-
For a screen adaptation to work I think it would have to be a mini series instead of a movie
DDL is the obvious choice for Ahab but he is getting old. I think Michael Shannon could do the job.
Couldn’t decide between Turner and Pattinson for Starbuck
Domhnall can do comedy and serious pretty well. I like him for stubb
Flask was a difficult cast. Cooper Hoffman was who I settled on but I don’t love it
Ngannou is no actor but is the perfect physical fit for Daggoo. I think he could pull it off
Fedallah is a difficult cast. Other thought was Riz Ahmed but he felt too modern looking
Manxman- Willem Defoe was another option but I thought he would make the character too eccentric
Director - PTA/Eggars. Wish they could work together. PTA could keep Eggars from getting too weird/dark with it
Cinematographer- Robert Elswit/Jarin Blaschke
Score- Howard Shore/Jonny Greenwood
I love this book and done right I think it would be a top series. Other adaptations have not done it justice.
Couldn’t think of a suitable Pip. Probably an unknown child actor
Thoughts? Opinions? I’d love do defend my choices or hear new ones
