- Imagining classic characters and scenes from volume 1 of the epic Cantos.
0:00 - 2:09: A very basic introduction to the story
2:10 - 5:16: A short overview of the main characters
The appearance of the characters I've chosen is what I imagined when reading the book. I'm sure many of you who watch this video, however, will have very different ideas about how the characters might appear. Let us know who you would choose to play their roles. It's always good to meet other fans of the books.
Hopefully we'll eventually get a movie or two (or even better - a series) that brings this great cantos to life.
No Spoilers. All images created using Midjourney V.5. Might have a go soon at redoing this using V.6.

2:16 look like young George Takei but Lee Byung-hun as well he will be a great choice for this role. 2:47 I can see Josh Brolin being Paul Dure easily.
Thanks for the feedback. I've enjoyed a few of the recent sci fi epic movies / TV series (Dune, 3 Body Problem, Foundation, etc). With all this interest in making the sci fi epics, lets hope Hyperion is next in line. Cheers.
@@neilrichardson4998 Hyperion deserves a treatment like Dune. Can you do Aegon's Conquest art as well? Will be amazing I don't see anyone doing
Not bad, although some of them look like Actors. Brian Blessed, Jeff Bridges and Aiden Quinn are a few I recognise. Not sure I'd go for that.
Thanks for the feedback. Who would be your dream cast? Hopefully if they ever make a movie or series based on the novel they'll choose their cast wisely.
@@neilrichardson4998 Personally I'd like to see a series. Each pilgrims tale taking an hour episode. So maybe 8 or 9 episodes for the first book. I mean if they can do it for Foundation, I dont see why they cant do it for this, which is a far superior book.
I think Willem Dafoe would make a good Martin Silenus. He's older now, from America and has that mobile expressive face. He's gritty enough. Aiden Quinn as the consul ? Possibly. Although I think Bradley Cooper has himself down for that role in the anticipated movie he's looking into. Brawne Lamia is also very short, stocky and thickly built, being from Lusus. As for Johnny, well, if you look at an image of John Keats, being only young, he resembles Timothy Chalomet a little although thats probably because I cant think of anyone else. As for Lenar Hoyt, He needs to be someone thin, gaunt and ill looking. John Hurt would have been perfect in his younger days, but not sure now. Sol Weintraub - possibly Ben Kingsley ?
As you can see I'm itching to see a film version of this, my favourite book.
@@theinnerparty5295 Fully agree with your comments about a tv series. There is so much to unpack in each pilgrims story that you must have a series to do them justice. My template for the consul character was actually Aidan Gillen. I like your choices of actors to play the pilgrim roles. Hopefully it happens. All the best.
