Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Death's the second oldest, but she's always appeared young. I wouldn't necessarily say "teenager", though. And I'd prefer the right actress in the role, even if she's technically too old, than the wrong young actress.

The girl who was in Mirrormask has the right look about her. Don't know if she could pull the acting off, though, since I haven't seen her in anything else.

Edited for correct Endless.

The girl who was in Mirrormask has the right look about her.

She'd be a good choice, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ivana Baquero.

Maybe a bit too young, though.

Punishingly Intricate

I have a memory of Gaiman describing her as a teenager. It may be I'm totally mis-remembering!

I can see the girl who playes Didi from the Riches as her too. Young and cute and kind but take charge. Also don't know if she's got the acting chops for it yet.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I was thinking about the Mirrormask girl!

Jewel Staite just jumped into my head too -- she also has a young/old look, does sweetly earthy, blunt, loving and gently teasing very well (all key elements in Death's relationship with Dream), and has Gothed up very nicely in the past.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There are some thing I don't need to see six stories tall, you know? Heath Ledger in a green fright wig is one of them.

That's one thing I precisely need to see. Was a sample of the makeup linked to here? It was horrifying. I really liked it.
