Friendly Fire Tour: Casting Call

As part of the Friendly Fire tour, I thought it would be fun to do a casting call for the main characters! Thanks to Lynn, author of the series, I was able to get some more in depth descriptions of the characters so I could truly bring them to life for the readers! Here’s what I came up with:

Alice | Amanda Seyfried Where You’ve Seen Her: Red Riding Hood (2011), Letters To Juliet (2010), Dear John (2010), Mean Girls (2004). Character Description: Tall, willowy, with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and a porcelain complexion. A very delicate sort of beauty. As for her fashion sense, I imagine her in pale colors--soft grays, pale rose, cream, ice blue) in clothing that flows a bit (as opposed to skin-tight), with a sort of bohemian-chic style. She'd also take Dante along for his stylistic input! Sarah’s Notes: Lynn and I both agree that Amanda is, hands down, the PERFECT Alice.

daniel | Alex Pettyfer Where You’ve Seen Him: Beastly (2011), I Am Number Four (2011), Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006).  Character Description: Tall, slender, green-eyed (soft, not piercing green), with chestnut-colored hair fairly shortly cropped, but not so short that it doesn't have a bit of play. He's extremely handsome, with a fine nose, full lips, high cheekbones. His fashion style borders on non-existent; Jeans, pull-overs, thermal-knit henleys, hoodies, flannel shirts, worn boots. Sarah’s Notes: For some reason Daniel was the hardest to cast for me. I didn’t have a pre-formed idea in my head. Lynn offered up some suggestions (see below) but I just couldn’t picture them with Amanda Seyfried. Though Alex is more masculine than how I originally envisioned Daniel, I think he could play the role really well.  Alernates: Kevin Zegers & Shiloh Fernandez

Dante | Thomas Dekker Where You’ve Seen Him: The Secret Circle (2011-2012), Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009), Heroes (2006-2007).   Character Description: Based on Adam Lambert. Anyone with Adam's dark good looks; blue eyes; tall, slender build. Dante wears a nose stud (sometimes a ring), has pierced ears, and a very dramatic, flambuoyant sense of style--lots of black leather, studs, boots. He's up for anything sexy and over-the-top glam! Sarah’s Notes: Thomas’ character on The Secret Circle is so incredibly dramatic. I think that, if we can’t have Adam Lambert play Dante, than Thomas would be the perfect stand in. Those who watch the show already know he can rock some eyeliner!

Shane | Andrew Garfield Where You’ve Seen Him: The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), The Social Network (2010), Never Let Me Go (2010).    Character Description: Large, brown, expressive eyes and chin-length, brown hair parted in the middle, usually swept behind his ears. Prominent (in a good sense) brows. He's handsome, in a sensitive, poetic kind of way. Sarah’s Notes: I picked Andrew for his performance in Never Let Me Go. No matter what he does, he always comes across as a sensitive soul to me. And look *points to picture* PROMINENT BROWS and big eyes!
