Stephen Moyer
Hot Choice: He’s the budget option, currently to be found playing vampire Bill Compton on vampire TV show True Blood.
With his relatively affordable face leading the cast, the budget would, like some of the other cheaper options on the list, allow the filmmakers to go all out on other parts of the film.
Plus True Blood has become very popular, with near Sopranos-level viewer loyalty and Moyer could translate some of that fandom to awareness for the movie.
Cold Comfort: But is he too unknown? The British thesp has mostly worked on TV and nervy movie producers would likely be unwilling to gamble what is likely to be an expensive proposition (one that also tackles weighty themes and is entirely devoid of giant machines punching each other) on an untested thesp.
Still, stranger things have happened – and even more unknown thesps have been rocketed to stardom through just such a project…
We think Darabont will go for someone a little more famous. But to be honest, we just want to see him finally get to make the movie.
