However I would not be opposed to having Oriana played by a person of color since the island’s inhabitants are descended from people all across the world. Her book illustrations appear to show her as either a redhead or brunette. Her book descriptions show her as someone around her 30’s. Introduced in the 2 nd book “The World Beneath”, Oriana is a musician who accompanies Arthur and Lee Crabb to the underworld of Dinotopia, which conveniently shares the same name as the book. Should Jaeden also fall victim to the passage of time, any rising child/teen star with chops should do. However, seeing as they’re starting to approach 30, it’s safe to say they’ve outgrown their teenage looks by now. Had I wrote this article a few years ago I would’ve considered Tom Holland or Timothée Chalamet. Jaeden Martell I believe is very capable of playing usually cliched weak characters and giving new life into them as shown in the horror film It where he plays an autistic kid who stutters, and most recently in Knives Out where plays a young Ben Shapiro. Either do this cliché well or do it differently. We want to avoid clichés of teenage characters who are wide-eyed and curious without having any charm or relatability. Will, despite struggling with the loss of his mother, finds new purpose with the peaceful ethics of the island and would later become a Skybax Rider by the end of book one. Will is Arthur’s son who appears to be around 15 or 16 at the start of the books – so it is important to find an actor who is at that age or who can pull off the appearance of one. Ewan McGregor has that intelligence charm and Charisma to pull this off. He also has to have the acting range of someone who still misses the outside, but finds the mystery of finding out this world keeps drawing him in. This requires an actor who can pass for someone in his 40s as someone very inquisitive and yet has a certain charm or charisma in a way that doesn’t make him boring or having whimsical expressions Like similar characters. The main character in this book series, Arthur Denison, an American single father after his wife’s recent passing sought adventure with his son before getting caught up in a storm.

Of course the world presents a large cast explore – but for the sake of simplicity let’s focus primarily on our main characters. Now it is time to discuss these characters and look at what actors could fit these roles. Read parts one and two here!Īs stated in our previous entries (see above), the only proper way to bring in Dinotopia onscreen in our vision is to set it in the original timeline, following original characters from the books. Also, the reason the dinosaurs read while on treadmills was because they had near impossible difficulty turning pages of books, so all books had duplicates in scrolls and they walked along the treadmill to make the scroll roll for them to read.Īdd to that, the way dinosaurs wrote was with footprints, the facimily for a typewriter was quite amusing considering it had to allow for a 6 foot tall dinosaur to be jumping and stepping on each of the keys.This is part 3/3 of our “Dinotopia Reimagined” series. Thing were different, for example, the curator of the library was Deinonychus, but since he couldn't speak english, he had a human translator. It was very impressive, but also took place in the 1950's if I'm not mistaken. When this law was violated by a traitor, the Gigonotosaurs allowed the trustworthy humans to hop on their backs and the city guards didn't raise the brig, permitting the Gigonotosaurs to run through the city to get at the traitor.

They even learned the name of one of them, Stinktooth.īasically, before they could go into the ruins, Stinktooth made them agree to only leave with the items they brought in. In the second book, outside of a set of ruins were Gigonotosaurs, but they were more lax in their territory. Bix, a protoceratops, was the translator and in order to permit a caravan to pass through the Rex territory, they offered a rather massive supply of fish to them for safe passage out and back in. Outside of the city was the territory of the T-rexs. Basically, all dinosaurs were allowed in the city and none had qualms with eachother.
