Anthony Schiavino, letterer/designer of the GHOST ZERO comic, sent me an email link to a couple of pictures from the new Indiana Jones film (a must see!) that featured Shia LaBeouf. He suggested that Shia would be a great candidate to play Eddie. Check out these photos:
I’ve got to say that Shia does have that “everyman” kind of quality that I think fits Eddie quite nicely, and after seeing him in the Transformers movie, I think he’s certainly got the talent to pull it off.
Similarly, I think Alan Rickman would make a very nice Charles Pallentine. See for yourself:
(That drawing of Charles is a peek from Page 11, by the way!)
So, what say you? Any better candidates? I guess all I have to do now is to make a movie sometime next year and we’ll be set. Yessir.
Maybe I’d better just keep writing the comic for now.)

Yep, Eddie definitely = Shia.
And yeah, Alan Rickman could very well = Charles Palentine (though my money is still on Jeremy Irons). Rickman’s a good actor, through, so he could definitely pull it off.
Oh, and that glimpse of Charles = GAH!! I’ll be seeing that eye when I close my eyes tonight,
Shia all the way. Matter of fact let’s hope he searches for himself and comes across this site or somebody he knows tells him. I’d love to see Dreamworks make a movie of Ghost Zero, but done right as an old style black and white drama.
Now as far as Palentine I don’t know. Having just seen Eragon, and not liking it at all, with Irons I can see him playing the part. But I can also see Rickman playing him as well. But I’m not completely sold on either. I will look into this further.
Whoever plays Palentine, he has to be scary… that’s definitely a pre-requisite, LOL
