STIS: I am trying to mentally cast the movie of the book I am reading.

Posted by ralph wiggum (aka Wiggum17) Sep 9 '09, 20:58

I'm trying to come up with a suitable actress for the lead.

20-25 (the age is actually relevant, not just a Hollywood issue)
Skinny, angular physique (Keira Kn. style)
Striking, but not beautiful in a cosmetic campaign kind of way.
Credible at playing edgy and tough (with tattoos and piercings) (therefore, NOT Keira Kn.)

Would totally be Angelina if she were 20 and take less curvy.

What book is it? - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:22 14
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Ricci is kind of the idea, but somehow not quite right. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:27 10
  - They already made the movie. -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 21:42 1

    - That's completely right, but I'm just assuming that any American version she'll need to be a less butch than that. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:42
  - ooooh, are the 2nd and 3rd books out yet in english? - 'lia Sep 9, 21:31 3
    - Second book is out in English (at least in Australia). Third one is due in October here. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:33 2

Moon Bloodgood -- nm - JaxSean Sep 9, 21:12 6

  - You say that like it's a bad thing. -- nm - BB Sep 9, 21:15 3
    - I like boobies as much as the next person. It's just not appropriate for this character. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:16 2

Evan Rachel Wood probably gets that call. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 9, 21:04 5

  - Christina Ricci -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:09
Meagan Fox! -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 20:59 6

  - Just the men of the world -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 21:10
  - Contradicktory. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:08
- The "credible" part also requires a modicum of acting ability. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:01 2
  - jolene blalock? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 21:03 1
