To pass the time while I wait for The One to be released, I decided to make a cast list. When in doubt, cast a nonexistent movie. Works every time.
To tell you the truth, I always pictured my beautiful red-headed cousin in the role of America while I was reading. (I have several beautiful red-headed cousins, but for whatever reason, one in particular played America in my head.) As this particular cousin has a life and a career and dreams that do not include acting, I had to find another actress for the role. (However, should she decide to rearrange her whole life to accommodate my fictitious film adaptations, she would certainly be my first pick.)
That being said, here's who I would cast in The Selection by Kiera Cass:
Young Jessica Chastain as America Singer
Alternate (not-almost-40-year-old) option: Emma Watson as America Singer.
Emma would make a great redhead.
Dean Geyer as Prince Maxon
Blake Lively as Marlee
Camilla Belle as Celeste
Keiko Kitagawa as Elise
Aimee Teegarden as Natalie
Holly Marie Combs as Anne
Joanne Froggatt as Mary
Anne Hathaway as Lucy
Josh Brolin as King Clarkson
Penelope Cruz as Queen Amberley
Eleanor Bron as Sylvia
Ceasar Flickerman as Gavril Fedaye

I love it when you do these. I'm going to read these now! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janelle! I enjoyed the books, but you may want to hold off reading them until May so that you don't have to wait until the last book in the series is released. Enjoy!
