face for wanda? yay or nay?
i'm here to bring another candidate to the table who was presented in an earlier discussion over character faces: summer glau.



i think she could be PARTICULARLY good for people interested in vidding the host. of any clips from films, firefly and serenity (maybe even the sarah connor chronicles?) scenes might offer some of the easiest to manipulate to fit the setting. add summer's expressions and aura and it sort of hits home with wanderer. she provides the skittish, agonized emotional roller coaster that the character defines a good majority of the time.

here are some examples...



INSERTION SCENE, Y/Y?



makes me think of the scene where jamie had a gun and wanderer was freaking out.



her hair is unruly and she looks like she hasn't bathed in a while (again, fitting for the host) annnnd her expression is too powerful to go ignored!



wanderer down in the supply cave, perhaps?



the caves. dun dun dun.



OUCH. my heart hurts.



wanda is NOT a lab rat, jared.



story time? possibly.



and there's a mel-ish photo.

just a suggestion. thoughts?

SUMMMMMMER.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER AS WANDERER/WANDA.

but mel, i am still iffy. cause when ever i see summer, i think almost dainty (WHICH IS STUPID CAUSE RIVER WAS KICKASS HARDCORE) but still.
[info]yoursolace on May 15th, 2008 11:49 pm (UTC)
SAME with the daintiness. idk, like you, i see sophia in my head for melanie. but summer is so perfect for wanderer and she'd be great for videos, you know? IT'D BE WEIRD TO HAVE HALF OF THE CLIPS SOPHIA AND THE OTHER SUMMER AHAHA. i'd be like....WANDA GOT A FACE LIFT OKAY.

but she CAN exude this really kick ass personality. like in sarah connor chronicles.

I personally *love* Summer Glau, especially in Firefly/Serenity, but I kinda like Camilla Belle more....

I do think Summer and Camilla are much better choices than some that I've seen off of lj, like Hilary Swank (she's gorgeous, but is like 30 something?), and Rachel McAdams (again with the age!).

yes, camilla has definitely grown on me since she was brought up. i can definitely pin her as mel's image, and i think she could do wanda justice. i just prefer summer when i think wanderer.

....rachel? SAY WHAT? i mean, rachel might be good for mel... but wanda?

I really love Summer. She so rocks... I have thought of her first in my mind. The thought of her would be awesome. But in characteristics I think Camilla looks more like Melanie.

LOl...
Love Firefly/Serenity and she kicks ass in Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles... I love how you did the images and her and add it into a story line... It's giving me ideas.. lol.. just to find the right actors lol....
[info]yoursolace on May 16th, 2008 12:12 am (UTC)
i agree. camilla is more mel-ish, whereas summer is very wanda.

serenity is my favorite movie and firefly is so lovely. i'm a little obsessed with summer and definitely obsessed with river, so i'm attached to her for wanda.

AHAHAH YAY. I ENCOURAGE THESE IDEAS. it was fun to find the right pics and do captions.

Lindsey[info]shadybrightside on May 16th, 2008 12:12 am (UTC)
Oh thanks for putting up those pictures! I almost felt like they were actual caps from a movie, ahahaha. From these shots she's definitely able to pull off Mel/Wanda-esque expressions.

And as mentioned in the above comment, we have no Jamie :(
[info]yoursolace on May 16th, 2008 12:16 am (UTC)
that's what i was aiming for!

WE MUST FIND JAMIE A FACE ASAP.

UM I LOVE SUMMER! i think she could totally play it <333 it's a really complicated role to fill, basically playing two roles. if they do ever make a movie it will be very complicated with all the in-and-out dialogue that goes on, they will need someone talented to pull it off.
[info]yoursolace on May 16th, 2008 01:50 am (UTC)
SUMMER IS SO GIRLCRUSH. she's so talented. one of the best actresses out there, definitely. i mean, her roles are VERY complicated. river and cameron? crazy, empathetic genius and a robot? she OWNED those roles.

YOUR ICON. OMG. I LOVE IT.

I'M SO GLAD EVERYBODY IS ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH AS ME. SHE IS PERFECT.
[info]yoursolace on May 16th, 2008 03:22 am (UTC)
COMPLETELY PERFECT. SHE WAS BASICALLY MADE FOR WANDA.
Daphnée: [gg] b&s // power struggle[info]daphneejen on May 16th, 2008 03:33 am (UTC)
YES!! I love her and I haven't been able to imagine anyone else since the suggestion from the other post.
[info]yoursolace on May 16th, 2008 03:37 am (UTC)
YES. i'm in the same position. camille is growing on me, but summer is STUCK. she's like glue.
Ship Of Fools: Firefly - mal Crazy[info]saiyengirl on May 17th, 2008 04:46 am (UTC)
Oh most definitely! I didn't even THINK of her, but now that I am, Summer would be fantastic. She definitely has the acting skills after Firefly. Plus, she also has the rugged/athleticness of Melanie. River Tam was a bit "crazy", so she has experience talking to herself convincingly. XDDDD

Whoever suggested this was great, I wholly agree!
[info]yoursolace on May 17th, 2008 09:22 am (UTC)
whatcha saying "a bit"? :P SHE WAS CRAZY AND I LOVE HER FOR IT.

[info]fadedpresence did, and she's def great. :D

Melanie/Wanderer
I picture Aubry Dollar in the role, she's a little older (28) but I think she could play younger and work well for the role. (Jensen Ackles for Jared too) Check out her pic at http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3041761536/nm0231122
jesi-bee :][info]minuteseventeen on May 21st, 2008 11:08 pm (UTC)
This post is brilliant. :D
I really agree with it
And when I scrolled down and saw the picutre
My mind screamed "MEL'S BODY!"

Ahhh amazing find :D
[info]yoursolace on May 22nd, 2008 01:03 am (UTC)
i like when people agree with me! :D
insane_wanderer[info]insane_wanderer on June 2nd, 2008 10:59 pm (UTC)
I could see her as Wanda and Mel. I like her as an actress so I'm game.
[info]yoursolace on June 2nd, 2008 11:01 pm (UTC)
:D yay.
