As Remus Lupin? :confused: that so totally sucks!

[Colli]

Hmm.. first of all, it doesn't really look like Remus' hair in the pictures we've seen so far.

Second, look at the face. It actually looks more like Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy). Crazy haircut...

[SiriuslyInLove]

well-its not him as Remus, its just a photo of him, but i cant see how he's going to pull of Lupin..

[Peregrinning Took]

Arrrrrr, am not happy with the casting *at all*. Ewan McGregor should play Lupin, I tells ya! EWAN!!!!!!!!!!!

And Gary Oldman as S.B.???????????? *shudder* Has anyone seen The Fifth Element? A word to the wise for all who haven't seen it: DON'T. Gary Oldman will scare you and you'll never want to see HP3........

[Fleurdelacour]

I want to cry...

Gary Oldman was the angry guy in Air Force One, but it was Jason Isaacs in Dragon Heart ;) I'd know that chest anywhere dear XD

Oh, and David Thewlis was Prince Whatsit in Dragon Heart...


Don't even get me started on the tasch...

[SiriuslyInLove]

Jason was a in Dragon Heart? :o i'll have to see it again,its been ages! last timei saw it was when it came out and i think i was 8 or 9!

Which prince was Divid? the one who Shared the dragon's heart? *loved the dragon...Sean Connery! :swoon:*

[owl]

How dare they cast him as Lupin
He looks nothing like him

Lupins my FAVOURITE character:mad:

[glaelia]

Yes SIL, I forget his name, but that was David Thewlis.

[ChianaWeasley]

Oh goodness! He it was gary oldman wasnt it?
Blast, I get the two of them mixed up, either man and gary oldman's picture pops into my head.... :LOL:

Go figur'

I still think we should give Thewlis a chance guys:)

Dont judge a book by its cover, you could be missing worlds
;)

[owl]

I'll wait until the movie comes out before making my final decision
but at the moment I will stick with what I said before
How dare they!;)

[Peregrinning Took]

Look at this picture!

*screams and runs away*

[SiriuslyInLove]

yes ive seen that pccie lots! I mean, im not upset anymore about Sirius, i am upset about Lupin! :(

[Athelas]

From 2 different girls who saw the unfinished preview:

Veritaserum.com:
What do you think of David Thewlis's performance?
Emily:
FABULOUS! He was great! And Lupin is my absolute favorite character. I think he’s better than anyone else in the movie. Sirius, too, but he was slightly more insane than I thought in the books.

Veritaserum.com:
What do you think of David Thewlis's performance?
Pat:
He was good, but he’s got this ugly mustache.


So, he's a good actor but looks hideous.

WAHHHHHH!

[SiriuslyInLove]

WAHHHHHH!

yeah, ive heard he's a good actor, but he's nothing at all like most of us imagined him to look like (and if you look on the back of OOTP you see a piccie of him with Tonks & Mad eye) So He's also too young to play him. which sucks! :(

[Rapunzel]

*de-lurks*

Hi everyone! :wave: I've never posted in here before, only lurked, but I just had to say

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghh! Noooooooooooo!

Its wrong, I tell you, wrong! Thats not Lupin! That can't be Lupin! Lupin might be a bit scruffy, but he's gorgeous, I'm sure he is! And he does NOT have a moustache!

Nooooooooo!

Ahem. Thats all.

*re-lurks*

[SiriuslyInLove]

:LOL:

Welcome Repunzel! :) Please feel free to join in! :) We wont scare you away! ;)

[Persephine]

OhboyohboyohboyohboyohboyoboyOhboyohboyohboyohboyo hboyoboyOhboyohboyohboyohboyohboyoboyOhboyohboyohb oyohboyohboyoboy...Oh BOY!!!

[Persephine]

Yes, I do think that Siri is gorgeous...:swoon:

[SiriuslyInLove]

[Athelas]

Even this, from the new PoA video game, looks better!

[SiriuslyInLove]

I ag ree Athelas! It does look better!

[Fleurdelacour]

Its... Its... Its like Hitler with a new moustash! I cant name my future son Remus now!! Not after that 'tash!

http://atlantic.photoisland.com/sessions/63555922865/23814439lg.jpg

I had fun with Paint Shop Pro... Well it wasnt fun... More of "God they look alike..."

Computer graphic.... Much better... Well anything had to be better...

[SiriuslyInLove]

mean ol' thingy! didnt show up! can ya email it to me?

[Rapunzel]

Has anyone else noticed that, not only has he got a moustache (as if that wasnt bad enough), but that its also a really weird looking moustache? Sort of thin, and curvy, and just ... weird.

Anyway, I don't reckon the real Lupin (because that's quite clearly some imposter) would ever have a moustache. Because wouldn't it just be a bit too high maintenence? I mean, I just don't reckon he'd have time to do all that intricate careful shaving.

*grumble grumble*

[SiriuslyInLove]

yeah Repunzel I did notice! It's awful! :( *cries* :o

[sirius2004]

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while (seriously, probably coming up on a year...OUCH!) but i'm back now!! (run away run away!)

anyways, about Thewis as Lupin:
i agree, he's not really how I imagined Lupin, but then again, Alan Rickman isn't how I imagined Snape (and i would have much preferred it if Tim Roth had taken the roll as well) but he turned out ok. So Thewis isn't exactly drop-dead gorgous, he's a kickass actor though and i think we all should give him a chance!! I was VERY excited when i found out he was going to be Lupin. The casting directors have yet to screw us over and put the perfectly wrong person in a perfectly right part, i say we trust them on this one!
I think he'll do a great job!

As for Oldman as Black: scarily similar to how i imagined him, and i didn't even put two and two together until i saw the pic of him as Black and thought "That's Sirius!"

Can't wait!!

[SiriuslyInLove]

yeah, Ok...I shall give him a chance! :)

Nice to meet ya Sirius2004! :)

[Athelas]

Maybe if I expect him to look awful, I will be pleasantly surprised?! I hope so--after Aragorn, he is one of my favorite swoonworthy literary characters!:swoon:

[SiriuslyInLove]

good point Athelas! :)

[katzpotter]

He has a Hitler moustache! It burrrrrnnnnnnnnssssssss!

Have decided to accept Gary Oldman as Sirius and bash the casting of Thewlis instead.

GYAH!!!!Get it away from our eyes, Precioussss!

Oh well. At least Draco hasn't changed much.








...I hope.

[SiriuslyInLove]

LOL!

Why did you see Gary in something Katz and decide he's good enough for Siri? :D

[ChianaWeasley]

You all know me pretty well, so you have to belive me, Thewlis will be excellent as Lupin. I'm really going out on a thin limb here, but it's true! Please try to give him a chance! I know the moustache is alittle overwhelming, but should you really judge a book by its cover?

:LOL:

I am not a squirrel ;)

[Rapunzel]

Me too! (except i'm more an elrond than aragorn sort of girl)

I guess that's why the moustasche is so annoying, I wanted to be able to swoon for Lupin in the movie, and now I don't think I can. There's just something about moustaches that's a bit ... creepy.

Anyway, I don't doubt that Thewlis will do a good job with the character, I dont really question the casting. I just question whoever decided that he should have that thing on his face.

Anyhow, on the plus side I was quite impressed with how he sounded in the new trailer.

Ah, maybe I can learn to love him. :D

[Athelas]

This is the best picture I've seen yet:
http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/images/2004/picturebook/lupin.jpg
And I DON"T like it!

[lithorose]

Let's hope this is one of those rare instances where someone only looks bad in stills?:confused:

Don't care for the mustache, but I'm pretty much withholding all judgements until I see the movie. I will only add that a lot of the characters are different than I imagined. But that's to be expected; I'm even rather glad of it. One of the things about LOTR is that so many characters cast in the films looked so much like what I imagined that I can no longer imagine them as anyone else when I read the books.:(

[Xyla]

What are those strange scratch/scars on his face?

[lithorose]

I hadn't noticed those. Looks like they have gone with the werewolf scratching himself theory (which I'm not fond of). My Lupin has no scars.:p

Also, wouldn't frequent scratches appearing, oh say, every month (on the button) be a good tipoff that someone was a werewolf? And then, wouldn't it be that much easier for the students to figure out his secret?:confused:

[Persephine]

ARGH!!! OMG!!! *faints*

He looks awful!

No way!

*dies*

[Rapunzel]

Hmmm, you know, I don't think that picture looks quite so bad... maybe it's because he's smiling...

Maybe he's growing on me! Or maybe my expectations have just gone down a bit. ;)

I hadn't noticed those scars either. I don't think new scratches would appear every month though, because he's got that potion now that means he keeps his mind when he transforms. I reckon they're probably really old, permanent scars.

They do sort of make me feel sorry for him though. Hmmm. Whilst I don't think I actually like movie Lupin yet, I don't think I dislike him quite as much as I did ...

There is still hope!

[Fleurdelacour]

He just looks like that typical english/geography/maths/history teacher you get. Dreadfully drab, monotonously mournful, and unbearably uninspiring. The sort of teacher that stands infront of the blackboard with a piece of crumbling chalk, mumbling about algebra, moaning about "new methods" grumbling about the Gestapo and smelling like cigars, whiskey and coffee.

He'll have worn the same greyish brown tweed suit for the last twenty years, and his moustash regains new levels of tweekiness every week. He'll have socks that are now a grimy shade of grey, grey through the lack of a wife to sort out the whites from the darks in the washing machine. He'll own plain dark brown loafers, which are slightly scuffed from kids trying to kick him. His shirt will have the same dull, grey appearance, and his tie a delightful stripy brown and grey, or on Mondays he'll be exciting and wear a brown and mustard tie for the start of the week ahead.

His hair will either be greying, grey or dusty brown, whatever the colour it will either be annoyingly flyaway, balding or greasy. And the only hair found on his face is the dreadful moustache he preens like the privet hedging in his front garden.

I hate it.

That's NOT our Remus.

[Athelas]

Thank you, Fleur, that's EXACTLY what he looks like! I will keep trying to remember all the fears I had about LOTR that ultimately were proved wrong, but right now,:eek:

[ChianaWeasley]

I agree with Rapunzel, I like the picture. The moustache is a bit odd, but that is because we all have our own mental image of Remus Lupin in our heads. I myself pictured someone far older, with small rimmed glasses, and a sweater vest of checkers under a shabby cloak. But, I do like the way they choosen to portray Thewlis's character.

::fends off trouting::

Besides, i like the idea of the scars, except that might give the plot away too easily. But really, in away women feel scars are mysterious and sexy.

I guess we'll see how it all goes

Chiana is ever the more optimistic :p

[Athelas]

Chiana, your optimism makes me smile!:hug: I always feel better after reading your posts.

I have a feeling this pic may be from the latter part of the movie and they are relatively new scrapes, but we'll see!

[Fleurdelacour]

Chiana, you're really scarily optimistic. I just hope you're right and I'm wrong :)

[Rapunzel]

Maybe they're trying to teach us all a 'you can't judge a book by it's cover' type of lesson - 'you can't judge a man by his moustache'. Or his tweed. Or his shirt. Etc Etc.

I think I can see a hint of Lupin's kindness in that last picture. And I agree, Chiana, those scars are kind of sexy, in a mysterious sort of way.

That's really interesting, I never imagined him being like that! I guess it just goes to show that everyone will have a different idea about how he should look!

[ChianaWeasley]

Oddly enough, I'm not usually that optimistic...:LOL:

I've just seen 'Timeline' with David Thewlis, with an American accent it was crazy! He was a really good Doniger, another suggestion...go rent it! He's very versitile with his acting...a good thing :p

[SiriuslyInLove]

hmm... Mom wants to see it-didnt know he was in it, shall have to see it! :)

[Fleurdelacour]

I actualy saw a David Thewlis film last night. It was on Channel Four. Gangster No 1.

Gruff cockney accent... No moustache... He could act I guess... But I didnt like him... He still looks weird...

[SiriuslyInLove]

LOL!

almost everyone doesn't want him for Lupin... Now I'm trying to imagine how the dude feel's if he know's.:(

[ChianaWeasley]

Well, at least he'll see a few people giving him a chance.
OR,
he's anxiously waiting to prove them wrong then come back to see comments like;

"Wow! I underestimated him as Lupin!"

or something along those lines....wait a moment...I'm being optimistic again :p

[SiriuslyInLove]

hmm....yeah I guess you're right!:)

[Athelas]

Have you seen the int'l trailer? I just saw it through a link on the-leaky-cauldron.org and I have FINALLY seen a shot of Lupin I like! I'm sorry I don't know how to take a pic of it to post here, but they have a quick shot of Lupin on the train with perhaps his coat covering the lower part of his face (including the hideous mustache <shudder>), and he looks mysterious and sexy!

On the other hand, the part where he is opening the chest to let the boggart out for Harry to practice on has him looking quite the weenie:p

[ChianaWeasley]

See?
Mysterious and sexy she says...
see? you might miss the sexiness of Lupin if you'r too busy trying to point out faults.... ;)
Mysterious and sexy, lets build on that
:p

[Athelas]

Have you seen the review on AICN? The one thing I will copy here is You’ll love the movie-Lupin as much as everyone loves book-Lupin.

I HOPE so! I really, really hope so! Maybe looks truly don't matter and what matters is the character beneath the surface:angel: <insert stirring music here

;) We'll see.....
