Casting Contest

(Credit: Fer Gregory )

Yes, in case you didn’t know the good news, Fallen is being made into a movie. The rights were purchased by Mayhem Productions and the wonderful Scott Hicks has been chosen to direct. I am an executive producer for the film and I promise to let everyone know the moment any open casting calls are announced. Lately, I’ve been receiving lots of wonderful casting suggestions from readers. What better way to thank your for your interest in the series than with a casting contest? So here’s the deal: Send in your dream cast and explain why you chose each actor for each character’s role by March 25th to my email Laurenkatebooks at gmail.com. I’ll pick one of your submissions and post it here on the site (and keep it in mind for the real casting, which will be happening soon!).
And if you missed my recent blog post on USA Today, here is my time-bending fantasy cast, if I could have my pick of any actors from any era:

Luce: Olivia Hussey from Zefferelli’s Romeo and Juliet makes the intense vulnerability of true love look magnificent. She’s innocent, hopeful, and willing to give all of herself to Romeo, just as Luce gives herself to Daniel.

Daniel: Steve McQueen from the Getaway is tough and independent. He can be diffident, but is unabashed when it comes to love. And he’s undeniably sexy.

Cam: Sean Penn in Bad Boys would be perfect for the villain we love to love. The rougher and tougher he is, the more we fall for him.

Arriane: Stockard Channing in Grease is sassy, sexy, and surprising enough to make a superb Arriane. We yearn to trust her even as she keeps us guessing what’s behind that knowing ever-present smile.

Roland: Harold Perrineau from another version of Romeo and Juliet (Baz Luhrmann’s) is mysterious and unique. He manages to be loyal without ever seeming too “moral” and his imagination is a wonder to behold.

Gabbe: Alicia Silverstone from Clueless plays the role of the quintessential buttoned-up beauty who still knows how to throw down. She’s intimidating from a distance but happy to befriend the new girl and show her the lay of the land.

Penn: Diane Keaton from Annie Hall is just as charmingly neurotic as Luce’s best pal at Sword and Cross. She’s the kind of girl you can be completely yourself with and never feel self-conscious.

Miles: John Cusack in the Sure Thing is just shy of being too sweet for his own good. Like Miles, he falls in love easily and is irresistible to everyone–except the girl he wants.

I look forward to reading your suggestions!

    Although I think Ashley Greene would do a good job. I have a wry hard time picturing anyone but Ksenia Solo playing the part of Arrianne. Please look her up if you’re not familiar with her.

    I think the best cast would be unknown people! :)
    I find movies more awesome when I don’t already know the actor/actress. When I see a know actor/actress in a movie I just see them as acting. Or as a previous character. But when the actor/actress is unknown, you could really buy their character. Believe that that person is who they are. I dunno. Just an opinion :)

    Eu só tenho uma coisa a falar, o CAM tem que ser PERFEITO, então tenha muito cuidado ao escolher o ator para ele, PERFEITO< PERFEITO e não é do tipo "ele é perfeito" tem que ser do tipo "QUE DIABOS ELE É PEEEERFEITO" *——————-*

    Okay, I am, like, so freaking excited for this. This is my favorite book series.
    And, how about this:

    Daniel – Alexander Ludwig
    Cam – Drew Seely (IDK if I spelled that right, either)
    Arriane – Elizabeth Gillies
    Penn – The girl who played Quinn on Zoey 101
    Gabbe – Ariana Grande (with blondeish hair)
    Molly – Miley Cyrus
    Miles – Logan Lerman
    Shelby – Jennette McCurdy
    Roland – The guy who played T-Bo on iCarly

    I don’t know who I want to be casted for the characters except for Cam. Logan Lerman as Cam would be PERFECT. He fits the description of Cam and is such an amazing actor. Seeing him play the bad boy would be simply awesome haha!

    Nicholas Hoult as Cam
