JT: I have started on a sequel overall I don’t know the direction of what the last should be.

If this book were made into a movie which actors and actresses would you like to see playing the lead characters.

Let us start with the ones I know who be good in the role
Master Luray I would like Jackie Chan due to his already know fighting form.

The spirit of Grand Master Eirik I would like Ewan McGregor. He acted wise in

Star Wars I would like him to be a wise master but dead and train Alexander in the sprite void.

The Lord of Shadows I would like someone who is strong and looks imposing. The Rock of wrestling.

Alexander:  I think if you made Hayden Christensen younger with  make up by a few year. I would like him to play the main character. He could be good if he got a good director.

Other than that not sure
