Call Her Forth: Dream Casting

Call Her Forth by Angel Leya: Coming SoonWhat author hasn’t dreamed of having their book turned into a movie? It’s fun to imagine what the characters would look like if they jumped off the page. Here’s my cast of the main characters. Who would you pick?

Trent

Lovable, charming, quiet, and boyish good looks, my pick for Trent is Orlando Bloom. I first fell in love with Orlando as the dashing elf, Legolas in Lord of the Rings. While not nearly as handsome without the blond hair and pointy ears, he still takes the cake in the boyish good looks department.

Lisa

Originally a blond, I wanted to give Lisa a little something more, so naturally, I made her Latina. I wanted someone both sweet and sexy, and Zoe Saldana fit the bill.

Lexi

Obviously, I needed an actress who could pull off the red hair, and Rachelle Leferve was an easy choice. I mean, seriously, look at those beautiful red curls!

Jason

A total goof, a body builder, a surfer, and an incredible friend. I went around with this a bit before I came up with the perfect answer – Dolph Ziggler. For those of you who don’t recognize him, he’s a wrestler in the WWE, and he has the perfect look for Jason.

Will

The boss now has a name, and he’s big, bad, and totally obsessed with numbers. Give Stephen Root a bad combover and he’s perfect.

Grandma Iris

I love Iris so much. She’s wise and fun and supportive, the perfect mentor. In coming up with her actress, I came across Helen Mirren, who has been my pick for quite some time.

Giant

Okay, let me preface this by saying that I’m not a huge Lady Gaga fan. I’m sure she’s nice enough in real life, but something about the way she behaves in public is a bit off-putting, in my opinion. Despite that, the woman has mad talent, and she can pull off nearly any look, including looking like a man. For a two-headed androgenous giant, she’s kinda perfect.

What do you think? Did I get the cast right, or would you replace any of the actors or actresses on the list? Are there any other characters you’d like to see cast?
