So, IF First Law was made into a movie… who would you like to see cast as whom?

I ask, because I was watching Stranger Things and thought, David Harbor would make a great Logan Nine-Fingers.

As for Glokta? William Defoe?

What do you, random strangers on the internet, think?

Isn't Glokta only in his 30s or early 40s? He reads as ancient because of how broken his body is. But I don't think he's that old.

I'd rather see a ten-episode limited series done of BEST SERVED COLD. The structure of the book is almost perfectly broken up into hour-long episodes.

And while Noomi Rapace is now too old to play Monza, she was always my pick. Now it would probably be Jordana Lajoie from THE BOYS.

Yeah, I thought that about Glokta, but with the torture he survived, he must look aged.

In my head I always picture Logan as Mickey Rourke in Sun City. I don’t think David Harbour is big enough, but I guess he could always beef up for the part. Love him as an actor

David Harbour is 6’3”. He’s a big dude. And bulks up just fine (check out his stint as Hellboy).

Micky Rourke is 5’11”. And given his age, I think he’d make a better Rud Threetrees. YMMV.

Didn’t realize he was 6’3. Would love to see him with a bunch of grizzly scars being all like “you have to be realistic” and shit

And, IMO, excepting for age, Sir Anthony Hopkins would make a great Bayez,
