I have said before ( about a year ago) that I would like Rachel Weisz as Claire, but as I think about it more, I really think a fairly unknown Brit with hidden skills would be best. Hayley Atwell, Romola Garai or Gemma Arturon ( even though she has gotten a lot of attention lately) would be great choices. Romola Garai would have t dye her hair, and all would need a perm, but NONE of them are sticks like AHEM Keira and ALL of them can act. See Romola in I Capture the Castle or Rory O’Shea Was Here and Hayley in How About You for examples. think about it!!! Claire is our hero, and how can we project her onto a well known actress who we will see in other roles?!?

I believe Keri Russell should be Claire, and Gerard Butler, Jamie. I would keep Ruth Wilson for Geillis Duncan. I would use James McAvoy for Roger Mackenzie. As for Brianna, it would be Rachelle Lefevre.

Charlie Hunnam – he’s Jamie. He’s British, but does an excellent American accent. No doubt he can slip into a fine brogue when called to…look him up on IMDB…even has slanted blue cat eyes like a Fraser.

I know everyone has their favorites, as do I-but it really bugs me that people want such young actresses for Claire. She was older than Jamie, she is British and considered herself somewhat plain. As i read the first book years and years ago I realized that i was seeing Claire as Emma Thompson, and it was perfect.

look her up in Google images. Unfortunately, try though I might, I have NOT seen the perfect Jamie yet. I liked the possibilty of Heath Ledger at one time, but even he was not big enough. I shall keep my eyes open, though, I can promise you that.

What about Christina Hendricks (Mad Men secretary) for Claire and Gerard Butler for Jamie?

I vote for Rachel McAdams, soft but strong. She’s perfect! Helmsworth isn’t bad, but I like David Wenham. I hope they make it a TV series… too hard to make it a movie and get everything in!

Back in the 90s when I read the first books, I pictured Alex Kingston (Dr. Corday on ER) as Claire – nowadays she wouldn’t be able to play young claire, but older Claire? I can still see it.

I feel that KERI RUSSELL could play the role of Clair and do that role justice. She’s still young enough to play a 27 year old and get away with it. She has an angelic face of someone who would be from the 40’s. She’s an amazing actress and she also has crazy curly hair with the perfect coloring too. I would much rather have actors and actresses in this movie that are not so famous if you know what I mean.

I also think CHRIS HEMSWORTH 6′3″ would be the PERFECT Jamie. He’s young, tall, muscular, and sexy. He even has catlike eyes and since he has light hair he would look great with the red hair.
