Read-along: Seven Ancient Wonders - Part 12 (Poll!)

Before we get onto the next chunk of the book, I shall have a quick poll for you all!
I promised a poll of our characters so far, based entirely upon their minimal descriptions, and I shall deliver! I also present to you the movie cast for this book, including later characters of importance who have been merely described, as well as my guesses as to who the Ninth member of the team is (Though, I already know, and it's something stupider than my suggestion here.).
The most popular character will be drawn by me, and personally sent out to everybody who reads it. Don't expect much. I draw like Matthew Reilly writes.

I also have a competition for my handful of readers:

Guess the nickname of the Ninth member!

Anybody who gets it, will get a prize. I will also accept the funniest suggestion as the one I use for the rest of the book, so you can feel as if you have some kind of input on this blog!

Starring Hugh Jackman as Jack West Jr, all round super asshole! Hopefully sporting this very same facial hair and expression throughout the entire movie, because it's more amusing that way.
That's the face of a man reading a script where he has a metal arm.
Co-starring Gilbert Gottfried as Lily! Because if she has to say those stupid lines, at least make them sound passable in his voice.
Worth the ticket price alone, I can assure you.
With Ray Stevenson as Titus Pullo/Big Ears/Gunman, idiot trap trigger and carrier of Gilbert Gottfried!
Hold me, Titus. Hold me in your manly, manly arms...
With Shirley Henderson as Princess Zoe! Because I've never seen her in an action movie, which she'll rock at because Shirley Henderson can do wrong, and so that the inevitable romance between these two characters gets less weird.
Seriously, you wouldn't want to see her in an action movie? Shirley Henderson makes any movie better by virtue of her presence.
And also starring Malcolm McDowell as Max T. Epper. Because if anybody is a wizard, it's him:
And so he won't play villains anymore.
With sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy Omid Djalili as Omid Djalili, A.K.A Pooh Bear, A.K.A Omid Djalili.
Enough said.
Co-starring Lee Pace as Stretch, as he's the youngest, tallest man I can think of. But only as long as he plays the character as Ronan the Accuser.
Definitely the face of a hardcore globe trotting badass.
And our favourite character, Horus, is played by:
And with Chris Tucker's ballsack as Fuzzy.
And finally, I think that their last member shall be renowned Japanese icon General Lee. Not him playing a character, but him.
Majestic General Lee... Because if anybody can do battle with traps of a ridiculous nature, it's him.

Who is your favourite?
Winners will be announced at some point.
