Who would make a good Honor Harrington in a Movie/TV role?

There's a similar discussion topic over on the Starship
Combat News website (of which I am also a member),and
I'd made the same observation regarding any potential
Honor Harrington movie, as far as the CGA part is con-
cerned.

Hi All,

David Weber discusses the Honorverse movie in the last three sections of the tape of his Q&A in Poland not long ago, warning there is translation to Polish about 30 minuets for the last three where he discusses the movie. David begins discussing the movie about 6 minuites in the first one, David Weber w Nidzicy część 6/8:

Alexa Petrenko is a radio host in Toronto (http://www.classical963fm.com/hosts/alexa-petrenko/) whose voice I just love. Obviously she wouldn't be good for the role of HH. But whenever I hear her mellifluous voice on the radio I always imagine her's is what DW was thinking when describing HH's voice. We always talk about which actress to play the role of HH but if for example an animated movie were to be made instead which actress's voice do people think best suits HH?

If animated I'd nominate Juanita Phillips, Australian news reader for voice. She had an illustrious career as a senior news reader with CNN and the BBC before coming back to the Australian ABC. Crisp, clear, authoritative and absolutely neutral accent (except for sexy undertones).
Classy lady but now in her fifties, petite elfin blond so not suitable for visual role.

Just did a search on this topic, and I can't believe nobody has mentioned Lexa Doig - Andromeda series and, was it "Jason X"(?) '70s serial killer on a space station. Sucky movie, but she looked good.

Oh, oh, young padwan. Do not presume to own all wisdom so early in your training.

If you have been around this forum, and especially the Bar for 10, 12, 15 years you would realize that every player with the right plumbing, an a few with the wrong, has been propose publically for this role by fans in the last 15+ years.

Lexa Doig rated very high in speculations/ proposals floating around the Bar at the time of David's first prospective prodution deal, 10 years ago. Despite the fact that she is only 5' 6".

*Cough*

Ahem.


I would like to nominate...


SNOOKI!

*flees the room*

Based on what I have learned and deduced, the movie's production is problematic because of funding issues. Oh, well, it was fun speculating on who would make a good, if not great, Honor.
I hope rfc was able to take the "celery" and run.

Ummm, I got like.... hang on, three, seven, umm... I got eleven dollars and thirty-four cents. Does that help?

If you're correct, the real bummer is that the movie rights are now held by someone without the resources to actually use them, which means no movie.
