A lion's voice...

[eldritchhobbit]

The latest news from NarniaWeb is quite interesting:

The big news of the Biola Media Conference is that Brian Cox is no longer doing the voice of Aslan! Apparently he has lost some weight and his voice has changed.

Reportedly, Jason Isaacs, Timothy Dalton, Sean Bean, Gerard Butler, Ian McKellen, and Ralph Fiennes have all auditioned for the part. No choice has yet been made. Stay tuned as we’re covering this breaking story!

Having to make that choice would be... a pretty remarkable challenge, I would imagine.


And now, a quote for the day:

"I like them to talk nonsense. That's man's one privilege over all creation. Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err! You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen."

from Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky

now you have me intrigued about timmy dalton. what was the recent dalton performance you saw?

Oh, it wasn't live or anything. It was some clips from his recent theater work with His Dark Materials. But even as early as The King's Whore (which was, what, 1990?), I think his voice had really come into its own in terms of
gravity and authority.

because one fears one is straying towards an entry for fandom_wank (or similar).

*points* Ha-ha!
