The Dream Cast

>> I think it has to be the ultimate dream of every writer to have a movie done from one of their books, and to have it done well. So I think, if I were to have a movie done for mai book, "A Love By Any Other Name" there are a few people I would have in mind. To make this into a movie I would be changing a few things around, lyke age, in order to get the actors I want. Wanna know just who I have in mind? Here's the list. Go ahead, get all up in mai mind...<<

I needed an actress that was emotionally strong enough yet somewhat lost so that people would suddenly embrace her as her own and follow her through the whole story. For Hennessy I would either chose Charli Baltimore or Stacie Orrico. They both seem to be strong enough to carry the role of main female and yet there's something about them that's somewhat weak and cries out for some type of protection. Others might not agree, but I think they are quite good for the role. It was a hard choice but it had to be made.

Casting for Erika would be a bitch. Believe meeh, I can already tell. And since there has to be a cold-blooded bitch inside of Erika and yet a befriendable person I thought Eliza would be alright for the job. She's played someone befriendable in "Bring it on". As Missy there were still sometimes when she wasn't so sweet and she wasn't the girl that everyone loved. Although she was cold, she could still be a friend to Torrance (Kirsten Dunst). And her role as "Faith" proved to meeh that yeah, she was pretty much as close to the role of Erika as I was going to get.

What I would be looking for in someone who were playing "Bozjànique" is someone with a bold type of charismatic innocence. Brandy would fit just that. She has this type of childishness about her and at the same time she can be absolutly suductive. Bozjànique needs to be able to do just that. Brandy would be mai main pick, hands down.

Picking Trammel would hands down to go Fabolous! I mean he just radiates what I'm looking for. He has the whole feeling of a street cat going down and he's got the ego and confidence to match. Plus, he's kinda hott...

NEW
The reason I would pick Nelly as the role of Matthew is because he, like Fabolous, has that street smart about him. And at the same time Nelly seems to give off the impression that there are more than just a few levels to his personality. He's perfect. And not to mention attractive as hell... ^_^

When casting for the role of "Richard" I think that I would have to get either Taye Diggs or Sean Patrick Thomas. They would both definately bring to Richard the class and elegance as well as the flavor that is needed to portray him. I don't I could chose between them. They would both bring something different and perfect to Richard's character.

He is 100% perfect for Derrick. Tom has the ablility to play a cold, emotionless person, and look damn sexy while he's at it. So I think that he would have everything needed to pull of "Derrick" without a problem. He'd be able to mange the dark side of Derrick and then rarely show a softer side that he indeed has. He's not just getting mai vote because he's kyoote, he's a good actor too.

Ahhhh...Kavion. The main reason that I think that Nick Cannon would be perfect for Kavion's character is because they both have that strong, easy going, humor around them. Nick seems like the type of actor that could be hilarious and at the same time, a very loving person. That is a main aspect in Kavion and Nick could deliver that. I have no doubts.

One of the main reasons that I chose Michelle Branch for the part of Nirevé is because the real person who Nirevé is based on looks like Michelle Branch. Not only is personality a part of casting, but physical appearance is too. I think that Michelle Branch is the most physically orriented choice I have made in mai casting choices. I don't know much about her as an actress since she is a singer, but I do believe that she could pull Nirevé off just fine.

Although Kristen Kreuk irritates the living shit out of meeh sometimes, she is a good actress. She has the type of subtltiy that is needed in Shazlenn's character. She's got that shy and humble attitude, perfect for Shazlenn.

Although Kerry doesn't really look lyke Robyn at the moment, I luv the way she acts. It's only a matter of getting enough hair dye for her, then she'd be perfect. But putting looks aside, she's a great actress. She has a type of motherly-lyke attachment in "save the last dance". That's exactly what I'm looking for.
