For those unfamiliar with the novels of David Weber on Honor Harrington and what we call the Honorverse . David Weber is an author of Sci Fi Space Opera mix with the most detailed account of military and strategic. His novel "On Basilisk Station" begins the saga of Honor Harrington, an officer in the military fleet Manticore space, several thousand years in the future when humanity has expanded throughout much of the galaxy.
Weber knows how to use the exact amount of descriptive narrative, and give the reader the elements to build a stage, without being boring or heavy. This leaves the bottom ready for the characters to begin the dialogue. Combined with the ability to tell great space battles with suspense and action, makes a great writer.
Of course not everything is perfect, the first two installments are spectacular. But unfortunately after the fourth delivery become more dilute and slow to the point that it seems that Weber was pulling the original text to publish and sell more books. It does not sound unreasonable considering that more than a dozen public.
In recent years there have been several rumors that Weber would be in talks to bring Honor Harrington to the screen. And on several occasions, disturbed readers have expressed their desire to cast Angelina Jolie in the role of Honor. This is a travesty, plain and simple, and the worst is that we have been justified by comparing the character Honor Jolie in "Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow", an insult really.
Honor Harrington is a mystical character and real time, with a depth that many others can only envy. That's why we proposed to the actress bakanakoto Michelle Ryan for the role. Ryan has proven to be multifaceted and includes the most important qualities of Honor. Ryan has great appeal and power to command a scene, conveying deep emotions with his eyes. This can be seen in his work on "Bionic Woman", which although was a failure at the script and development because of the production, did not prevent the display quality of their performance.
Ryan may not be a mirror image of Honor, but this probably is the closest Hollywood clowns and jerks allowed. And it is an insult to the character as does Jolie.
Below is a list of actors suggested for a possible cast: Michelle Ryan
... Honor Harrington
Nino Rota ... James MacGuiness
Roger Rees ... Hamish Alexander
Craig Ferguson ... William Alexander Robert DuVall
... Kimberly Allen Williams Summervale
... Queen Elizabeth
Amanda Tapping ... Alice Truman
James Gandolfini ... Thomas Caparelli
Michael Chiklis ... Andrew Christopher Plummer LaFollet
... Robert S. Pierre
Gary Busey ... Oscar Saint-Just
Marg Helgenberger ... Esther McQueen
Ron Perlman ... Ray Lester Tourville
Liot ... Pavel Young
Apart from the views on the players, I recommend the first two novels, "On Basilisk Station " and "The Honor of The Queen." Two works are really amazing Sci Fi that have no waste. Honor Harrington is the greatest, and has the support of bakanakoto, not for nothing is left on the list of books.
