For my fantasy <i> Dreamers</i>: Chris Pine as the hero (who's also named Chris ;)), Kate Beckinsale as the heroine, and Hugh Jackman as the charming villain.<br /><br />For my WIP <i>The Deepest Breath</i>: Keri Russell as the heroine, Christian Bale as her husband, and Leonardo DiCaprio as her best friend-turned-bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832782604769370695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-50107613884565375202010-09-30T15:21:30.160-05:002010-09-30T15:21:30.160-05:00I love your casting choices, Liberty! :D

Maybe because I'm seeing this through her eyes. Her husband Mike is, in my mind, played by Christian Kane (aka Eliot on Leverage). His brother David (who has been a character in this novel since its initial sparks) used to be played by Brad Pitt but Pitt's looking a bit too raggy lately so he's sorta been recast with Matthew McCaughney(sp??) who not only looks the part these days but also has the charisma factor that character needs.<br /><br />My big 'complaint' in the - they cast HIM as who? category is the actor playing Thomas Lynley in the bbc/pbs inspector lynley is so NOT Tommy Lynley (in my mind) it's not funny. Likewise there are many moments where Havers is decidedly NOT the Havers of the book. Meanwhile the actor they have as Winston Nkata is dead on.<br /><br />Milisa HendersonLsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826408619899226721noreply@blogger.com
