Have you ever fantasized about your book being turned into a movie? (If you say no, I might call you a liar.) It's fun to think about. So, we want you to make your movie.
Here are the rules:
Cast at least one character from your book, and post a picture of him or her on your blog.
Post at least one song that would be on the soundtrack.
I decided on my book Displaced Hearts. I always like to have a little background when I read about other people's work so a quick summary of the book:
Liz Wagner's sure the world is ending when her ex, Zach, moves back to town, but when a shooting sends Liz's brother to the hospital and emotional turmoil renders Liz useless, Zach is the only thing that keeps her world from falling apart.
Hmm.. For Liz I would actually say, Shailene Woodley. With her brown hair and blonde highlights, lingering summer tan and hazel eyes with green specks she's a perfect Liz.
Zach. Hmm... After much searching the only guy that can come close enough to my vision of Zach is Jean Luc Bilodea:
Liz's best friend Sadie was based on a younger version of Aishwarya Rai Bachan, a Bollywood Actress. (I'm obsessed with her eyes):
And last is Josh, Liz's brother and a big part of the book. I'd say Alexander Ludwig in this picture.
Now the soundtrack. Since it's about a couple who are no longer together, but obviously both still have feelings for one another, even if a particular someone acts as if she can't stand him. lol. The best song for the soundtrack would be:
Great job, Theresa! I am so impressed with everyone's book/movie summaries so far, and your character choices are great. Aishwarya Rai Bachan's eyes really are amazing, I'm a little jealous lol!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hop around. I tried to get some writing in this morning, but I can't hold out any longer. lol. I'm so jealous of her eyes! They don't even seem like they can be real.
Deletebeautiful people! awesome combination!
ReplyDeleteThey are a good looking bunch! lol. Thanks :)
DeleteI'm having a blast listening to the songs you guys choose. Not Over You is new to me, but I really like it. :D
ReplyDeleteOoo it's one of my fave songs! Happy to introduce it to you :)
DeleteLoving this! Dancing at my computer.
ReplyDeleteMe too! And singing too! Double dose of scary :)
DeleteI love Gavin DeGraw - nice choice :)
ReplyDeleteHe's full of awesome! His voice, his personality, his style and he's pretty darn cute too :)
DeleteI agree ;) - but one of my girlfriends actually turned down him down when he asked her on a date!!
DeleteWhat!?!?!?! Is she crazy? Sorry lol. But what a great story for her. "Yeah I turned down Gavin Degraw. It was no big deal" Ha!
DeleteNice song, it's new to me, too. I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with us today!
Happy to introduce it to you. It's one of those songs that will be stuck in your head for days. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI don't know any of those actors...*hangs head in shame* but they're exactly what I pictured when I read it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that song...perfect!
YAY! I was so excited to see what you thought, since you know the characters. And no need to hang your head in shame. Well Shailene Woodley was just in the George Clooney movie that was nominated for an Oscar so maybe you can hang your head slightly for that one. Ha!
DeleteI heard the song and was like Zach and Lizzie! That's them. lol.
They are all stunning! Aishwarya Rai Bachan - she's hot!
ReplyDeleteShe is beyond hot! She doesn't seem real. lol.
DeleteAishwarya Rai Bachan is so beautiful that it almost makes me uncomfortable to look at her. LOL! As for the rest, grat cast! Shailene Woodley is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about Aishwarya. It's the eyes. It has to be. lol :)
DeleteGreat choices! Aishwarya does have the most gorgeous eyes - I'd watch your movie just for her :) Love the male cast, too. Don't see how this could miss :)
ReplyDeleteI have a major girl crush on her :)
DeleteWhat a bunch of hotties! Especially Alexander Ludwig.... great choices x
ReplyDeleteI did a Google search and that's how I discovered Alexander Ludwig. Then I find out he's going to be Cato in the Hunger Games! Now I really can't wait.
DeleteThis has been a fun blogfest. I love finding out what music people write to.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great idea. I can't wait to hop around :)
DeleteWow, you have a great pitch for your story! I'd so read it!!! And looks like you have some fab characters!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Kelley helped take the pitch from bleh to Yay! lol.
DeleteAnd I'm always open for CP's and beta readers *wink, wink*
Wow - what good looking actors you've found! Hello, Alexander! :)
ReplyDeleteps LOVE your background!
That's how I was, Hello, Alexander! Ha! Then I saw like two years ago he looked like a little boy then I felt like creepy old cougar. lol.
DeleteThank you :)
Oh, Aishwarya Rai Bachan is soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of your WIP. The song adds up nicely. Great job!
Isn't she? And thank you :) I'm in love with the song. I need to stop listening to it.
DeleteOh! You have a Zach and a Josh in your book! I'm already sold, lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd this song I jam out to in the car all the time. Sweet!
When I saw you had a Zach (different spelling though which I must admit I love) in your WIP I was like Awesome!
DeleteMe too! It's embarrassing when I glance over and see another driver looking at me like I'm crazy, but I can't help myself :)
I'm loving Shailene Woodley at the moment, she's so cute! And wow do I want to read your story :)
ReplyDeleteI have to see The Descendants. She's in the Secret Life of An American Teenager (and yes I admit I used to watch it) and I just feel like she has so much more in her than the show lets her do.
DeleteAnd aww thanks :) I'm always open to beta readers :)
What a fantastic song! I love it--angst and all :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so sappy and fabulous! My favorite combination. lol :)
DeleteGreat choices! Those are some beautiful kids. I like how diversified they are. : )
ReplyDeleteThey obviously have good genes in their families lol.
DeleteI am obsessed with this song! And Aishwarya does indeed have some amazing eyes and I love her movies :) Your cast is great and thanks for the follow. I am following you right back!
ReplyDeleteI can listen to it over and over again and not get sick of it. I've actually never seen her in a movie. Only in pics and on gossip sites. I need to get on that. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow :)
DeleteNice cast! And I'm in love with the Bollywood actresses eyes too!
ReplyDeleteThey are sick! The first time I had seen them I was like, contacts! But nope they are real.
DeleteOooh, great cast! I love the eyes on all of them ;) Fun song too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Hope :) We're all obsessed over Aishwarya's eyes but you're right they all have nice eyes.
DeleteOhh, Aishwarya's eyes are amazing. Very nice casting. And I've never heard the song before, but it's very pretty. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHappy to introduce it to you :)
DeleteAishwarya Rai Bachan is just beautiful. And I love the sound of your story.
ReplyDeleteYes she is and thank you :)
DeleteI think you have great choices for your cast! I especially love Aishwarya Rai Bachan's eyes. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Her eyes are a huge hit, but how couldn't they be?
DeleteAHAH!!
ReplyDeleteCharacters are gorgeous!
It's funny because I wasn't even going for that, but it totally turned out that way :)
DeleteWOW.
ReplyDeleteHave to say that I'd love to see all of them on screen together :-D
Right! Shailene and Jean Luc would be amazing together on screen. At least I think so lol :)
DeleteGreat post! I loved the actors you chose, and I love that song, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteAre those eyes real? You have to wonder these days. Beautiful girl though. Never heard of Jean Luc Bilodea, but he would've fit well for my leading man (boy) too.
ReplyDeleteYup they're real. I thought they were fake too, but nope. Jean Luc was on the TV show Kyle XY- I think I might have been the only person that watched the show though. lol.
DeleteI've seen Aishwarya Rai Bachan before in Bride and Prejudice. Beautiful actress! It's very nice to meet your characters :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check it out, I've never seen it.
DeleteVery nice Theresa :D I´d watch that movie and I love the song! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Deleteooo nice picks! And wow the Bollywood actress is gorgeous... but then, aren't they all? hee hee
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
Very true, they all are. lol. It's nice to meet you too. Thanks for stopping by and for the follow :)
DeleteFun character choices and pics! The story sounds great too. :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteAww Thanks :)
DeleteHow brilliant a blog can be, who could have ever envisioned that.
