Yes, and in real life, too!
Which young, big-name star wants to be Repairman Jack? - Exquemeling - 03-02-2005
When I originally read the Tomb and in all other subsequent books, I always found myself imagining that Jack looked just like Michael Biehn, but I understand that he's getting to be too old to play Jack now...
I gotta say that I really, REALLY like the idea of Ben Browder playing jack - from his stint on the fantastic Farscape series, he's proven that he can to the heavy stuff (damn fool had me crying like a baby at one point in season 3!), he does tha nuts stuff very convincingly and he also does the humour well too - I think Browder could nail the part of jack no worries. Apart from the fact he is in his (very) early 40's, I think...although he is a young looking 40ish...
Another suggestion...dunno if anyone else has suggested this (there are an INCREDIBLE amount of posts for me to wade through), but how about Michael Vartan from the Alias tv show? I think he could look the part...although he may be a little old for what the movie company want at 38(ish?)

If you come up with someone the group hasn't thought of, then bring them up. Someone's got to be right!

I agree with you. Vin Diesel is....scary! And, skinhead Jack is too awful. :eek:

Jeez, that would be a real travesty! Still, it would not surprise me too much. Hollywood seems to take perverse pleasure in taking really good books and screwing them up by putting together the most inappropriate casts. :mad:

Yeah, I know. That good example is The Keep.

I agree! I saw that some time ago and, if I remember right, didn't Glaeken get killed in the end? I cannot seem to remember and I really don't want to sit through that movie again just to find out whether I was right or wrong. Also, didn't Scott Glenn play Glaeken? He was the guy that played Jodie Foster's (Clarisse Starling) boss and mentor in "The Silence of the Lambs".

Sometimes I play THE KEEP just for that excellent soundtrack. I don't even have to be in the same room.
In the version NBC played once, Magda goes back into the keep and finds Glaeken alive but not too well, then I believe he sees his reflection in water (not that this means anything to the viewer because the unintelligible storyline never mentions his not having one) I taped this version, forgot to remove it from the VCR one day and it got recorded over. I got the theater version form a board member a year or two ago.
And another thing: Glaeken has a last name (Vobiskits or something like that) Where is that comming from? I don't recall that from the book.
