Jonathan Rhys Meyers who played steerpike in the BBC Gormenghast series. Perfect – sullen, pouty and probably very cheap compared to Brad Pitt.

I would vote for Gary Oldman. He’s one of the few actors who I think could be trusted with the role.

Let us hope that they do keep to the dark nature of the books. I would almost hope for a lesser known actor to play the lead. Brad pit would be bad, as would Orlando Bloom. I could see Jude Law,but what about Jhonnie Depp?? I hope the score is sinister and intense maybe kind of operatic. That song from the original Heavy Metal movie, Veteran of a thousand psychic wars would be a great theme song.

I think Johnny Depp would make a stellar Elric

As you know Mike Moorckock’s vision of Elric is exactly Jude Law… and since he’s responsible for Elric it might be a good choice…. speaking of Arioch it sould be someone of an extraordinary apparition, just as he’s been described in the book.. and yes, it should be a pure masscre..and as dark as the book itself

I think Brad Pitt would be a bad idea for Elric and so would Jude Law, as for Stuart Townshend as Arioch I could see him as maybe a form taken on by but not permanent stay. Personally they should go with some unkown actors or as another suggestion said animation, but go with some people that specialize in animation voice overs instead of A-list actors for the popularity points from the masses.

Why don’t we dream big? Brad Pitt would be a great Elric. As for the dude who said Christopher Lee for Arioch, uh, no. Arioch is always portrayed as a youth with old eyes. Stuart Townshend (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) would be great in the role.

The Stormbringer movie must be like the books; a pure dark fantasy adventure. Not an hollywood family shit pack. I hope it will be as it should be! A pure massacre!

Hawkwind would be great for the soundtrack , maybe even Monstermagnet could get in on the act.I really can’t see Christopher Lee as a ” Golden Youth” or the need for an Oriental actor to play Elric , the discrption of Melnabonians seems pretty Elvish to me and the Elves in LotR worked just fine ( shame about the rest of the film ). But at the end of the day , who ever plays the part , who ever ends up on the soundtrack , how ever they they try to get over to an audience the Evil that is Stormbringer….i hope they don’t trash it like LotR.
