Silitha (Voice)
for Silitha (Voice) in Darksiders Live Action Movie Trilogy
Suggested by thewantedraccoon
Darksiders is a series that I've really started to get into a lot lately. It's a series that has a lot more going for it then I think a lot of people realise. The games have a lot of really strong elements to them. A compelling and immersive overarching storyline, fascinating worldbuilding and expansive lore, a unique and incredibly varied cast of characters, there really is a lot to love with this series. So while we wait for the long anticipated fourth installment of this highly underrated series, I figured it would be fun to make some casting suggestions for the characters featured in it for a hypothetical film trilogy. I feel that Darksiders is a concept that would work incredibly well when translated to film, with it preferably being done predominantly through CG and Motion Capture, perhaps in the same vein as the Robert Zemeckis Beowulf film. And with the Darksiders series as a whole taking a great deal of inspiration from The Legend Of Zelda, I think there's no better fit for the director of this project than the man who brought us the greatest trilogy of fantasy films of all time, that of course being the great Peter Jackson! But that's not what you're here for, you're here for the actors! So without any further ado, let's just get into it!
