Chaapaaiguy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I've just finished reading John Birmingham's fantastic Axis of Time trilogy about a US-led naval taskforce from 2021 beinf accidentally sent back in time to 1942 and the US fleet sailing to Midway, I found them to be some of the most engrossing techno-thrillers i've read in years, Now on to the meat of the post... Who would you have as the principle characters on any possible movie/TV adaption? I'd start by having... "Uptimers" Admiral Philip Kolhammer, USN - Ed Harris Colonel J. "Lonesome" Jones, USMC - Dennis Haysbert (The Unit) Captain Karen Halabi, RN - Parminder Nagra (ER) Captain Jane Willett , RAN - Lucy Lawless (Yes, I know she's a Kiwi not an Aussie...lol!) Prince Harry Windsor, SAS - Daniel Craig (007) Julia Duffy, Reporter, New York Times - Not sure, Someone with the presence of Michelle Forbes but younger? "Temps" Cmdr. Dan Black USN - Matthem Modine Lt. Wally Black USN - Milo Ventimiglia Admiral Yamamoto IJN - George Takei (Let's get some Sulu love up in this house!!) That's all i've got so far,I don't know whether this would be better as a trilogy of movies or maybe a series of mini series with a similar format to Band of Brothers? Who else has read this excellent books and has ideas for cast? Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
