Aslan - Casting Suggestions
Posted: Oct 05, 2018 9:12 pm
Starting a new thread for a new era of Narnia films. Who should play Aslan? Feel free to name names, or simply a description of what you like. You're welcome to point out positives and negatives of past voice actors too.
A while back, Glumpuddle said something about "a young Aslan", and that has struck a cord in me as to why I don't think we've found the PERFECT Aslan. Granted, I don't know that we'll EVER find the perfect Aslan. I mean really, how do you voice a fictional representation of God? No pressure.
But I REALLY like the idea of having a younger actor play Aslan. I think the wildness would be better captured, like when Aslan is playing with Lucy and Susan after he's resurrected, and perhaps provide a slight sense of danger so none of the characters can feel TOO comfortable talking to a lion (except Lucy of course ).
I don't know that I have anybody in mind per se, but I'll definitely have to start listening to some other characters.
Oh, and for the record, I'm thinking like, 20s. Not a teenager.
