Scott Sigler

[badhead]

Anyone listen to his book podcasts, or read his books? Who do you think should play Perry dawsy in the films

[bvglee]

Infected and Contagious only, they're awesome...

He said in a Q&A at the end of Contagious that he would like Josh Harnett to play Scary Perry, but in my mind I pictured a younger, ripped, Kevin Nash (WCW days) yep he's too old but he's blond (dyed I think, but good old Josh would have to do it also) , has long hair, is freaking H-U-G-E and curiously is from Detroit.

I've read/listened to all of siglers work..a def. Fave of mine...the interesting thing about his books is the majority of his Sci fi concepts are based in some form of reality...scotts an admitted skeptic, so the realism he can bring to the subject matter makes the work all the more enjoyable...

And I totally agree with the Kevin Nash assessment...a good fit for the part.

Kevin Nash would be a good one. He's got the size that's for sure. I've been listening to all of his Podcast Novels and am caught up on "The Starter." I'm actually thinking about going to get the books. See how much is left out of the podcasts.

I listened to Contagious. Very good, I liked it a lot. Although the ending was...surprising.

I've listened to a few of his audio books, can't remember which ones, I can't access itunes, I used FireFox browser, now using CometBird, there's a script on the itunes page that keeps hanging up both Browsers, so anything hosted there is out of the question for me.

BTW, I also pictured María Canals Barrera, the mom from Wizards of Waverly Place as Margaret Montoya (Daisy Fuentes is the same age but she's is too hot to fit Margo's description):

and Shemar Moore as Clarence_

Curiously I have problems casting Dew Phillips, more due to a percieved age incongruence: someone who saw action as a First sergant (E-7) in 'Nam, should be above 70 in a post 9-11 story and too old for some of the stuff Dew pulls out in the book, I picture him like Bruce Willis in "16 Blocks" or "Sin City", but the age doesn't fit. At 70 you need some badass actor, James Caan maybe, the rest is easy:

Rober Patrick as Charlie Ogden:

or maybe Sam Elliott:

and some others, who would U choose for those and other roles?

[badhead]

not sure. But if Infected was a hit, and they make a movie out of contagious, they may cut out some of the scenes of child killing ( even thought the children and the people doing it are under mind control). I really cant see a mainstream movie showing an adult kicking a 12 year old boy in the face over and over till he dies, and perry breaking the 10 year olds spine is played for laughs.

Movies almost never are up to the source material, and actually its more like an idea of who's who when the narrative unfolds

i have listened to all of his podcasts and have then gone onto buy his audio books as i am not American i do struggle on the ones within the GFL (NFL) but still enjoy them. i also love the science part of the stories. he does rewrite some of the books ancestor was changes slightly also nocturnal was rewritten so will be good to hear that! i love the was Scott brings the stories to life with his voice congrats to the FDO!!!!
