I am so pleased to be part of the Descended by Blood blog tour! Angeline is here today to tell us who she would cast if the book was made into a movie (Yum!) and she has offered up an amazing giveaway!
Who would I cast for my characters if Descended by Blood
were made into a movie?
Brooke, main character: Lucy Hale
When I was doing my characterizations during the plotting
phase, Lucy was the closest that I could find for what I saw in my mind's eye
for Brooke. Brooke's eyes are blue, though, but the face shape and hair are
very similar.
Jaren: I see him as a nephew-to-Brad Pitt...look-a-like. -Alex Pettyfer
This one is really hard for me because no actor really looks
like Jaren. The image from the bookmarks IS Jaren. But I would probably have to
say I would like Alex Pettyfer to play Jaren. He has a young face, that's broad
and sweet. Plus, he looks fit, like he could play lacrosse. I saw him in I Am
Four, and I think he did a good job. He would need to get a haircut, though.
Mirko: Wentworth Miller
Wentworth has those straight, serious eyebrows, same as
Mirko does. He also keeps his hair cropped short like Mirko does. Wentworth
would have to train his face to smile how Mirko does. As soon as Wentworth
smiles, he doesn't look like Mirko anymore. When Wentworth smiles, his face
scrunches up from around his nose and out around his mouth. Mirko smiles more with
his eyes and a wicked side-lip curl.
--Yummo!! (Added by Confessions of a Bookaholic)
Kaitlynn, Brooke's best friend: Amanda Seyfried
I LOVE Amanda. She is such a good actress. Have you seen in
her in Dear John? She even has a song she sang on the sound track. I love her
and think she would make a great Kaitlynn. She has the slender face and blonde
hair. Plus, who wouldn't want her as their best friend?
Jelena, the villain: Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine has that sexy, high class, "I'm going to get
what I want" vibe. She's tough and a great actress. I think she would make
a great vampire villain. Plus, she's gorgeous and that's a requirement for
vamps, right?
Thank you so much for having me! It's truly an honor to be
hosted by Confessions of a Bookaholic!

I really want to read this! Thanks for the fun post! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting post the mind tends to do that associate a character with people we know
ReplyDeleteThis book looks drool-worthy.
ReplyDeleteI like how you associated the characters with someone people can picture. Normally authors let you picture them how you want this idea brings that knowledge before hand and lets the readers know how you specifically picture them.
