Shiva Option would have to be a trilogy. The war went for years, and there are 5 Worlds which must be defended to glass.

Donpt worry about a tall actress for Honor, as long she is a good actress....

See Wolverine, the actor in the movies is not as short as the comics portrait wolverine, but he was perfect to the character.... in fact, one of the best comic/movie renditions to date...

In fact, i found the actors that did professor X and Magneto also perfect... in the bad side, cyclops and storm were bad... Jean Gray was so so...

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

And don't forget the guy who played Frodo. Apparently, he's taller in real life. The real thing is you have to find someone with as strong a personality as Honor, and I think Makeup can supplement the appearance fine enough. Plus, it would allow for a market of Manticoran and Grayson uniforms. I want a Grayson one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

I'd bet that the Shiva Option trilogy would be better in theares than the Lord of the Rings was. Probably just as long, too.

Well what's his name, the guy who played Gimli in LotR was one of the tallest guys on the set. If you put the effort in you can make people look shorter/taller than they actually are.

Hell Tom Cruise is all but a medical midget but that rarely shows in his films. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

Well, there's an eye-opener. That would make him about the same height as me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

If they can make me look tall, then they could make an average-height woman into a giant.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

Tom Cruise is about 5' 6" or 5' 7" judging by the pictures you see of him in real life with other people of known height. A little bit short for an American man, but not even close to 'midget'. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yes, I suppose it would be much easier to choose a strong actress and use technology to make her look tall rather than go searching all over for a tall actress who happens to be talented enough. But you never know if you might find a talented unknown who fits the part. Linda Carter with her classic 1940s 'Vargas girl' looks was utterly perfect for Wonder Woman. She could have been lifted from the comic.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

Assuming he isn't wearing platform shoes or elaborate heightening devices!

When staring in that masterpiece of homo-erotica Top Gun much work was put into making him appear not to be the smallest person in the film. On a good day, in high heels, he might be 5'5". If you squint and he's a fair distance away.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

Tom Cruise is 5'7"

I love how people just soak up these Hollywood urban legends. Just so you know, Keanu Reeves has a doctorate in physics, Arnold Schwartzeneger is 5' tall, Vin Diesel is gay, etc.

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

But he's taller standing on the couch. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT- Honour Harrington movie
 

Is he taller on the couch in Risky Business or on Oprah's couch...
