Dream Cast
This casting isn’t necessarily about who I would pay to play
in my movie, but rather who I picture in my head when I’m imagining a scene.
Having a distinct face in mind helps me visualize how the characters would look
and sound as they react to the events and people around them.
Astrea (Ah-stray-uh)
Sophie Turner. Totally stealing this idea from blogger
(LINK) because I had never found a real person to be Astrea. I had a mental
image, though, and this actress is spot-on. The brilliant hair, the feisty
side-glance, the angry, innocent beauty. The main difference is Astrea has grey eyes,
like smoke.
Lexan (Lex-ehn)
Douglas Booth. Such a pretty, pretty boy. Even without the
Boy George makeup. He should really have blondish hair for a perfect Lexan, but
those eyes? Perfection.
Stian (Sty-ehn)
Jake Gyllenhaal, when he’s a little bit laughy and a lot bit
scruffy. The main difference is Stian’s eyes are green, and I believe Jake’s
are blue. Eh, no big deal.
Brenn
Taye Diggs. He visited my high school dance class one year,
and I haven’t exactly forgotten…he seems the perfect blend of serious
eagle-eye, fun uncle, and secret-keeper extraordinaire. (No spoilers, but he
keeps a big one!)
First Leader Keirna (Keer-nah)
Lucy Liu. She’s great at funny, but I think she could easily
pull off what Kate Winslet does in Divergent – the switch-flip between caring
leader and psychotic visionary. (I’m remembering Kill Bill!) The haircut, jacket, and slightly imperious smile in this pic are how I usually visualize Keirna too.
