They could def do a Lang voice / shrike split..... And Avatar is being filmed in NZ so Lang may as well move to NZ!!!Making Mortal Engineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511773246146990115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784099681407679393.post-76464859485119553092017-08-03T01:16:33.959-07:002017-08-03T01:16:33.959-07:00I've been thinking about this of late, as the ...I've been thinking about this of late, as the final book is possibly my favourite - so I'm really hoping they get there. As it stands, the "completion of the circle" works as a wonderful surprise on the page, but if they use Stephen Lang as a narrator it will somewhat spoil the ending. (An aside: If he's filming Avatar sequels for the next decade or so, where does this leave potential ME sequels?). I guess he could do it in his own voice (I assume he'll have a SHRIKE VOICE) but it's too recognisable.<br /><br />My suggestion: ME - text intro (possibly a vaguely "robotic" font), dissolve to the chase; DP - Shrike speaking, dissolve to same shot.<br /><br />Note to PJ & CR: If this has helped, tickets to the UK premiere or one of those sweet crew Gerbers would be cool.LeMarchandnoreply@blogger.com
