Feature & Follow Friday - Cast Your Kickstarter Movie

Alison Can Read Feature & Follow

Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! This is a blog hop that allows bloggers to gain new followers and find some awesome new blogs to follow themselves!

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host has a blog that they feature each week!

So, if you're a blogger, come join in on the fun!

Here's today's question -

Q: It is up to you to do a Kickstarter campaign for your favorite book!!! Who are you casting for the main characters?

Okay, I can never come up with all-time favorite books, so I'm just going to use one of my favorite books - The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa.


Allison Sekemoto
Malese Jow

Malese Jow (best known as Anna from The Vampire Diaries) is actually half Chinese, not Japanese, but she fits the description of Allison amazingly well.  According to the Blood of Eden wiki, "Allison is described as a small, beautiful, exotic-looking Asian vampire with straight black hair, pale skin, and "squinty eyes". She is 5'0 in The Immortal Rules."  
I absolutely LOVED Malese in TVD and could totally see her playing a tough, snarky vampire!  She would be perfect!

Zeke
Austin Butler
When I think of Zeke, I think of he has to have a sort of innocent sweetness (but he also has to be hot, of course!).  I think that Austin Butler (who I know as Wilke from Switched at Birth) fits the bill perfectly! According to the Blood of Eden wiki, "Zeke is described as handsome, tall and lean, with bright blue eyes and pale blonde hair."
Don't you think Austin fits the bill?

Kanin
Joseph Martin
I know, I'm going back to Vampire Diaries again, but I just can't help it.  Joseph Martin is the only one who comes to mind when I think of who should play Kanin.  He needs to be dark and mysterious, but also be able to show his soft side.  Of course, Kanin isn't British, but I'm sure Martin can do an American accent.


So, what do you think of my casting?  Any other ideas?

Have to agree with that!
Oh yes, I agree with Malese! I liked her performance in VD and I totally see her kicking ass as Allison. I don't know the actor for Zeke, but I have to agree: he fits perfect to that description. I don't imagine Joseph Martin as Kanin thought, because I think he might be more fitted for Jackal or Sarren. He really has something bad and dangerous, so I think he would suit best to those roles.

I think you might be right - Martin would be an awesome Jackal. I had a really hard time coming up with a Kanin - I should have just stuck with Allie & Zeke! :-)

Ooooh nice!! Can't see all the pics for some reason, but I know who you're talking about for Alison. Kanin's pic is not showing nor am I familiar with him. But I like your cast regardless!!

Here's my Follow Friday

Have a GREAT weekend!

Thanks for letting me know that you couldn't see the pictures, Jessica. If you have a chance, could you glance at it again and see if the issue is fixed? I've had this problem a couple of other times when I copy a picture from the internet, so I tried saving the pics to my computer and then putting them into the post that way. It's an extra step, but it would be worth it if that solves the problem. It's frustrating, though, because the pictures look fine to me, so I can't tell when there's a problem!
Oh, I love Joseph Martin!! Nice choice.

He's perfect, isn't he? I always feel like I can't come up with good casts, but this time I was really happy with my choices for Allison and Zeke!
Great choices! I wish I could be as great with picking people for movies. Thanks for stopping by my Friday 56!
