Actor Pierce Brosnan plays King Louis XIV —

Pierce Brosnan, Bill Nighy and Fan Bingbing are attached to star in The Moon & the Sun, a Hollywood film which will shoot in Australia and France….

Based on a novel by Vonda McIntyre, The Moon & the Sun is an adult fairytale centring on Louis XIV, who brings a mermaid into captivity in order to steal its life force. The King’s quest is complicated when he brings to Court the daughter of the mistress he always loved and the creature seeks out the girl. When the girl, Marie-Josephe, discovers what her father intends to do, she sets out to free the mermaid.

Brosnan will play the King, with Fan Bingbing as the mermaid, a Gollum-type digital creation. Nighy will play a character named Pere de Chaise…

Vonda’s Casting Call

Posted on by

On the Book View Café Blog, Vonda McIntyre has asked readers to recommend performers to be cast in a movie hypothetically being made from her novel Dreamsnake:

Now I have the opportunity to create the fantasy cast of the Dreamsnake movie, and I could use some help.

I have some ideas for Snake, Arevin (you’ll be surprised, but you’ll see I’m right), the Mayor, Jesse, and North.

I haven’t settled on who could play Stavin, Stavin’s three parents, Arevin’s cousin (the leader), Alex, Gabriel, Ras, Silver, Thad, the crazy, or Jesse’s brother.

I believe the cast is meant to be chosen from contemporary actors and actresses – although shouldn’t a science fiction writer know someone with a time machine who can retrieve anyone in movie history?
