She’s pretending to be the pretend prophet’s bodyguard.
“Well, she’s….she’s secretly the prophet. “Because she got kidnapped by these evil wizards who turned into giant eagles, they sensed the magic in her–exactly what the god is, or is doing to her isn’t clear, so they didn’t know either, so they just grabbed her so they could find out.” “So, they have to go and rescue the prophet of the forgotten god.” An expert in staying alive she claims to stay with the Rebellion only because it’s well-funded. Thera is a woman of the warrior caste, ostensibly the bodyguard of Keta, the Keeper of Names. I feel Nakadai is right for the role because he has not only has the physicality to portray the world’s greatest living swordsman, but also the acting chops to show the cold, tortured soul beneath it. It’s as much a shock to him as it is to everyone else. Our hero, something of a cross between a Terminator, a samurai, and a Knight Templar.Īshok has been shaped, forged, and bound his entire life into being the perfect weapon of the Law, its servant and its most powerful enforcer….until one day, somehow, he breaks free. (SPOILERS FOR BOTH BOOKS: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED) Well, they aren’t paying me to do this, ya know. So naturally, I imagined the cast as being all Chinese or Japanese. Think Zelazny’s Lord of Light, but without the immortal gods who remember Earth That Was and control sophisticated technology. Now, The Saga of the Forgotten Warrior takes place on a fantasy (but secretly SF) world with a strong Indian/Asian flavor.
SAGA OF THE FORGOTTEN WARRIOR MOVIE
My previous efforts ( Nine Movie Stars in Amber) featured actors from (mostly) Golden Age Hollywood.
