Digital Spy have suggestions for who should play Blake's 7...

Not too sure about their suggestion of Joshua Jackson as Blake, as I think he could be too friendly. Having said that, he played the observer influenced Peter in series 5 of Fringe brilliantly coldly, so I could be wrong, and he could play the mercenary elements of Blake well.
Summer Glau would be good as Cally, but her presence in a series does appear to be the death knell (although she has appeared in the Big Bang Theory a couple of times, and that seems to be doing OK).
Morena Baccarin could be good as Servalan. She played Diana in V well.
Arthur Darvill would be good as Villa. IMO, his performance as Rory in Doctor Who showed he can play the comedy elements of the role, as well as the action.
