Melodius asked Sebastien de Castell:

When the Greatcoats is inevitably made into a series of movies (I would love this), who plays Falcio? I like Chris Pratt or John Simm and my wife likes Chris Hemsworth or Matt Damon. I think all four have the ability to play a man with great moral integrity along with the comedic moments. We both feel that HBO or any other huge network would be thrilled to make this as a follow up to GOT. Good luck.

Sebastien de Castell I'd be, of course, delighted for the Greatcoats to become a film or television series. However while there's always talk of such things, talk is all it is until a deal is signed (actually, even that's just the first hurdle.)

Your choices for Falcio are interesting ones that I hadn't considered – strong actors all of them. Part of me really likes the idea of Martin Freeman as Falcio. He's such an outstanding actor and I've no doubt could pick up the physicality of it, and I think his sense of humour and pathos would bring the darker parts of the story to life. I'm also a fan of Tom Burke, but given he just wrapped up the Musketeers, I doubt he'd be looking for a similar role again.

Alas, right now any Greatcoats movies are all about crossed fingers and wishing on stars!
