Official Mort Casting thread

I like Edward Norton.

 

There's already a Mort in Sin City 1. He's in the Art Of Sin City book, and also in the extended version of the movie. He's an important character, but I don't know if he needs to be potrayed by a "name" actor. I just want a good actor.

 

Mort is here in the top pic:


And notice the shots of Hartigan's wife, and the Nurse.

These scenes were shot, but excluded for the theatrical release. Each story will be complete in the Special Edition DVD, coming out next year.

 

Who said he was a sound guy? I never heard that.

I just assume they shot all this stuff, so, for all intents and purposes, you're looking at Mort right there.

 

I doubt he'll be in ADTKF though.

Norton would be sweet if he and Salma Hayek were to work together. They would have good chemistry when it came to conflict.q

 

Um, Rodriguez himself said they shot the comics *in their entirety*, and these images were pulled from The Making of Sin City book. So, yeah, it's hardly a baseless assumption. If he says he shot the entire film, and the Making Of The Movie book has images of characters in scenes from the comics (but not from the theatrical release), one would *easily assume* these scenes will end up in the extended versions he's promised us.

I have no idea who the guy is, or who the woman that plays Hartigan's wife is. But there they are. Their names will probably be on the DVD. There are also images of Marv visiting his mother in the book, and I don't know her name either, but you can tell the scene was shot.

Where did you read all this talk about him not even being an actor? Another message board or an actual article?

 

We probably don't know who he is because we haven't seen the extended versions yet.

Again, where did you hear he was a sound guy? And unless Rodriguez reshoots these parts with new actors (don't know why he'd do that), one could quite easily assume these will be the actors in the extended DVD, until we are told otherwise.

so, again, that assumption is hardly "baseless." its based on what evidence we've been shown thus far. if anything, YOURS is based on even more speculation.

 

Heres my pick, Cole Hauser.

 

I'm thinking Kevin Spacey.
He's a great actor, likes crime/noir movies and would only have to film a few days!

 

In the first Sin City, When Bruce Willis shoots himself, the shot is side on, with Willis body shaded completely in white. That actual angle is used when Mort kills himself in A Dame To Kill For. Are they going to use the original angle in That Yellow Bastard instead?

 

Alan Ruck gets my vote

 

For your viewing pleasure, mort topping himself

 

And, as a bonus, the original death from That Yellow Bastard

 

that always bothered me about hartigan's death in the movie.instead of bruce willis pressing the gun to his temple,he presses it to his forehead(mort's suicide angle).nevertheless it WILL be interesting to see how they go about mort's death.

 

I always pictured Anthony Edwards from ER and Top Gun.
