BLACK BUTLER AS A MOVIE - DREAM CAST


If Black Butler were released as a feature length film, who do think should play who?

Its been 2 odd years with no reply so I will give my choices....I am only going on looks/or vibe of the actors.
I'm trying t avoid actors whose personality would over-shine the role.
The total persona can be drastically different with some actors depending on the role, while others mainly play versions of themselves in every role (think Bruce Willis, Cruise, McCon=A=hey etc)

Sebastian- I like Ezra Miller's look for this but I am unsure if he is too short,ideally actor would tower over the actors playing all the other roles.
Rupert Friend, Harry Lloyd, Booboo Stewart

Ceil- Kodi Smitt McPhee, Asa Butterfield, Zachary Gordon

Elizabeth- Cloe Grace Moretz

Bardo - Zach Roerig

Grell- Jaime Cambell Bower, Jake Abel, Johann Urb

Madame Red-Eva Green, Kate Mara, Rose Leslie

Rachel(Ciel's Mom)-Milla Jovovich

Vincent(Ciel's Father)-Adian Turner,

Meilynne, Devin Aoli, Nikki Soohoo

Tanaka-Brian Tee, Shin Koyamada, Justin Schon, Jack Young

Snake-Rupert Grint

Undertaker-Dane DeHaan, Reeve Carney

Thats all I have time for now I'd love to cast movies/hunt for headshots etc I have just found out but pictures can't give you chemistry can they??

It's been a year with no response, so I figured I'd add my 2 cents on who I'd cast for a live acton Black Butler:

Ciel-Douglas Booth, Tom Sturridge or Reeve Carney, Because in an american film you'd HAVE to age Ciel up to get rid of the creepy, paedophilia subtext in the storyline, and also because Ciel is supposed to be this androgynous pretty boy which all three of those actors are.

Sebastian-Tom Wisdom

William-Paul Bettany

Undertaker-Lee Pace

Grell-Eddie Redmayne, or if you're feeling bold, Michelle Gomez

Elizabeth- Chloe Moretz

Madame Red-Bryce Dallas Howard

Alios-Jamie Campbell Bower

Claude-Harry Treadaway
