ASOIAF/Game of Thrones as Movie Franchise

So i saw a discussion once, possibly here or reddit, about an imaginary adaptation of the books/show as a movie franchise with big name stars. I put together a cast list with the idea the first two movies would basically adapt the first two seasons of the show.



Russell Crowe as Ned Stark

Hugh Jackman as Jaime Lannister

Julianne Moore as Catelyn Stark

Nicole Kidman as Cersei Lannister

Warwick Davis as Tyrion Lannister

Emily Blunt as Daenerys Targaryen

Bill Nighy as Tywin Lannister

Nicholas Hoult as Jon Snow

Emma Stone as Sansa Stark

Chloe Moretz as Arya Stark

Henry Cavill as Robb Stark

Tom Hardy as Theon Greyjoy

Tom Felton as Joffrey Baratheon

Mark Strong as Stannis Baratheon

Jake Gyllenhaal as Renly Baratheon

Josh Brolin as Sandor Clegane the Hound

Brock Lesnar as Gregor Clegane the Mountain

Nathan Lane as Lord Varys the Spider

Christoph Waltz as Lord Petyr Baelish

Christopher Lloyd as Maester Pycelle

Sean Connery as Sir Barristan Selmy

Pierce Brosnan as Jorah Mormont

Dwayne The Rock Johnson as Khal Drogo

Scarlett Johannssen as Margarey Tyrell

Neil Patrick Harris as Loras Tyrell

Charlize Theron as Brienne



Anyone else have any ideas about casting this fictitious movie franchise or directors, etc. Basically who would be your fantasy choices for bringing the series to life on the big screen?
