Movie adaptations have existed for a long time. Some good, some bad. Let’s dream a bit. If your current book were a movie, who would you cast as the main character?
If there is already an adaption of your book, imagine a new one.

I would love to see Henry Cavill as the main protagonist of Empire of the Damned. A vampire slayer in a middle age setting. Perfect for him!
Let’s be honest. I won’t be able to concentrate on the plot, so maybe Luke Evans?
And, for Dior, the 16-year-old girl he helps on his quest, I would say Mackenna Grace.

Michelle (mich2689) | 72 comments I am reading Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle. I’m not sure who I would cast but this is one crazy book and would make a pretty cool movie adaptation.

Well, it has been adapted with Kenneth Branagh as the MC (Wallander series). I think that’s a good choice lol

Cathy  (cathepsut) | 782 comments For The Raven and the Reindeer it‘s Charlize Theron for the Snow Queen. I know, not very inventive. I haven‘t put faces on any of the other characters I am reading right now.
