Hooray! Personally, I thought Bettany looked too young for the part of Asriel. he looks sort of like Sting,or Steve McQueen, doesn't he?

I thought Bettany looked rather… frail and transparent as well as too young. I hope whoever they find to play the part of Lord Asriel has more of an air of masculinity. When I saw Bettany's picture, I immediately thought he looked diminutive and unfit for the role. Someone with more of a presence would be nice. But that's just my opinion!

YEEEESSSSS!!! :laughing: :tongue: WOOO! The good news keeps coming. Sorry, I just really think Bettany wouldn't make a good Asriel. This is good. Now if they'd just announce Viggo Mortensen is playing Asriel I'd pass out from the joy.

lol at the steve McQueen comment, he owns.
yeah, i didnt think that this dude would make a good dude for the movie, some1 older perhaps, and more not fruity.

I love most of Paul Bettany's stuff, but I can't help but jump up and down for joy that he won't be playing Asriel. WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
No offence.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!
I am glad that Bettany didn't get that role. He didn't look right for the part. I think Ralph Fennis has much a better build and is more older to play that role.
