You know, Your Movie. The movie of your PSO characters, or if you've written a fanfiction, the movie verison of that (assuming there would be one in a perfect world). I occasionally play with this idea to keep the images and personalities of my characters fresh in my mind--sometimes picking out an actor who looks like and could potentially play them well helps get a better grip on who they are and what types of interesting quirks or features they may or may not have. Who's got the right voice, the right hair, the right stature? It's kind of a weird little game but it can be fun to think about. (It's also a pretty good way to put actual faces to your characters.)

Julie Gonzalo as Alexa Hale (from "Seraphim" and "Right Between the Eyes")
I think I saw this girl in that horrible Christmas movie with Tim Allen that came out last year. It was, to say the least, a film of pretty questionable quality, but I remember his "daughter" looked similiar to how I envisioned Alexa. She may be a little too smiley and happy looking to play a convincing Alexa, who can sometimes be pretty rough-around-the-edges, but she's got the right level of prettiness, her voice matched pretty decently, and I think her eyes were actually brown.

Winona Ryder as Vischa Ivera (from "Half Past Midnight")
Winona Ryder is almost a perfect Vischa. I've always thought her face looked a lot like that one moon-eyed HUnewearl face that most people use, and her hair is about the right length and color (when it's blonde. And shoulder-length... Uh...). Anyway, if she's got one problem, it's the voice. Winona Ryder has a very light, high-pitched teenage girl type voice, whereas Vischa is supposed to be a somewhat demented and hardly personable woman.

Amy Jo Johnson as Sydney Blair (from "Right Between the Eyes" and "Seraphim")
I laughed when I first thought of it, but Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly from Power Rangers, as most everyone probably remembers her) would be a pretty good Mousy... Even if just for her looks. She could definitely act her way around a popular teenager with a rival in combat, at least.

Angela Lindvall as Celisse Russeau (from "Seraphim" and "Half Past Midnight")
I actually don't really know who Angela Lindvall is, other than some model. She looks vaugely Celissey, though (especially in the picture where she's all dirty and has black hair). She'd probably have to dye it, as I think she's blonde by default, but still. She'd be alright, I think, if she could get some good looking slashes across her right eye. Haha.

Chan Marshall as Simone Kelter (from "Half Past Midnight")
Chan Marshall is the main and possibly only member of the band Cat Power. Her voice is really sulky and kind of scratchy sounding, which is perfect for Simone. She also looks pretty close to how human Simone would have looked (she's an android in the story).

Young Christopher Walken as Alex Faust (from "Seraphim")
Even though he's too old to play Faust now, there's no way I could leave Christopher Walken out of a movie I had any hand in creating. The man is just far too godly to do a bad job no matter what he's playing, and as a young guy, he actually looked kind of how I invision a twisted, violently insane love bird who wants to reign over an entire dimension.

Shirley Manson as Shirley (from "Seraphim")
Shirley should probably play herself, even if her part was just a small cameo role. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Emily Deschanel as May Witherwillow (from "Half Past Midnight")
Emily Deschanel would definitely have to kick her wild, angry side up a notch and do quite a bit more yelling at things, but I think she could be a passable May. She might not be tall enough (May is a towering giant of a woman at 6'3"), but hey, this whole thread is working off of the idea that it's a perfect world...
