: : Andrew Tunks posted the following article in the Vance Info BBS
: : >Wayness Tamm, Zap 210, Alice Wroke, Allusz Tokay Epherigima (spelling?), the tragic Sessily Veeder, Derl the Flower of Cath, Tatzel, the list while not endless is certainly extensive.
: : >Who dares to pose mortals for these incomparables from Vanceís imagination?
: : I do! I can see Winona Ryder in either of these roles, excepting Sessily and the Flower of Cath. For some reason I deem Ms. Ryder especially suitable for the roles of Zap 210 and Alusz Iphigenia Eperje-Tokay.
: : But we will still be lopsided, even if we come up with scores of female thespians. Who should portray Vance's illustrious crooks?
: : Agreed, in the Demon Princes book you see precious little of these title characters, but maybe an adaption would change that. Kevin Spacey might make a good Hekkus or Treesong. Kenneth McMillan, who was the Baron in "Dune," could play Larque.

: I believe we could have talked Marlon Brando out of seclusion to play Malagate the Woe for $50-100 Million, but rumor has it that he'll be doing Jabba the Hut's grandfather in the upcoming Star Wars Prequel for Lucas. Perhaps less makeup?
Surely Kevin Kline as Howard Alan Treesong? But who would play Simonetta and Spanchetta Clattuc or Namour?
