This is a guilty pleasure of mine but a true LXG movie would be awesome. I guess I'd go with the following:

Allan Quartermain: Gary Oldman

Mina Murray: Eva Green

Captain Nemo: Ben Kingsley

Dr. Jekyll/Edward Hyde: James McAvoy

Invisible Man: Christian Bale

Doctor Moriarty: Anthony Hopkins

Campion Bond: Toby Jones

Mycroft Holmes: Charles Dance

Sherlock Holmes: Michael Fassbender

I’d say you’re spot on

That's pretty great casting right there.

i don't think having so many characters from Holmes literature would be appropriate,
you forgot Sawyer & Grey,
otherwise, good casting...except Toby Jones

Tom Sawyer wasn't in the original comics.

i'll cast him for you then:
Chris Pine

I'd rather it be like the comics and not have him in it. So does the TC which is why he didn't include him.

SHANE WEST'S SAWYER WAS ONE OF THE FILMS FEW HIGHLIGHTS.

So it's wrong for comic fans to want the makers of a movie to do a faithful adaptation?

[–] legnadibrom (5711) 4 years ago

since the movie came out, it eclipsed the popularity of the comic book,
if a person says "i'm an LXG fan!" they must be talking about the movie

[–] GreenGoblinsOck8 (7402) 4 years ago

Whatever. Some of us read comics and often we don't like how Hollywood adapts them.
