That's true. And now that you mention it, that scene will be tough to pull off all together.
Brian Cox as Franklin could definitely work

i don't like it. i mean i like Brian Cox, but not as Franklin. Franklin was a fool (in the book). i like Colin Firth as Fitzjames. shoot you could make him Crozier if Colm Meaney isn't suitable. what about Tom Felton as Hickey? maybe typecasting sure. that dude can play nasty though. Jay Baruchel as Harry Goodsir. liked him in the book. Goodsir that is. i guess you could get that girl from The New World to play Lady Silence, or maybe Mizuo Peck from the Night at the Museum movies. i'd cast Bob Hoskins as Blankyif he were about 10-15 years younger. that's it for now.

I agree with the casting of Robert Carlyle! Huge fan of the independent film Ravenous(he was a blood thirsty two-faced creep), as well as Trainspotting where Robert was 'slightly' off his rocker as Begby.

..and Lucy Liu as lady Silence .. hehe ;; there are several casting options; fact is it should be a feature film and no series and should be directed by no other than Terrence Malick !

Jesse Tyler Ferguson for Hickey.

Richard Brake as Hickey! He just seems like a good two-faced scrawny weasel. Creepy as well.if you remember the naked dance scene on the ice as a lure! He was one of the kidnappers in Hannibal Rising(under
the radar)..OR(slightly older) Willem Dafoe!

I'd cast:
Liam Neeson as Sir John Franklin.
James Nesbitt as Francis Crozier.
Ioan Gruffud as James Fitzjames.
Lee Inglby as Lt. Graham Gore.
Alex Russell as Lt. John Irving.
Toby Jones as James Reid.
Sean Harris as Thomas Blanky.
Stephen Waltersanother one of the bad guys from Hannibal Risingwould be my choice to play Cornelius Hickey.
Can't think of anyone for Magnus Manson.

I always imagined Thomas Kretschmann as Crozier.

Tim Roth as Hickey. As I read the book I pictured him as well as Gabriel Byrne as Crozier. Byrne might be too old now , I guess.

Our first official casting announcement; Tobias Menzies, playing "member of the Royal Navy."

As the title says.

Wikipedia gives Tobias cast as Crozier, but hey, it's Wikipedia, so better take it with a barrel of salt.
My guess is that he is playing either Crozier or Fitzjames.

Yes, it's officially Tobias Menzies as Crozier and I'm thrilled. He will be terrific in the leading role.

I'm replying to my own link - Jared Harris is Crozier, Tobias Menzies is Fitzjames, still great casting.
