They are all good questions, but one of the most exciting questions is: "If this book transferred in to film, who would you cast?"
Grace Archer: Emma Watson
I think if you added 2 years of age to Emma, she would be golden. Hopefully she can lose the British accent and let her hair grow back out, but aside from the perfect match physically, I feel she would offer the amount of desperation, compassion, and control that Grace Archer has.
Deacon Gregory James - Jamie Foxx
Jamie is an all around sensational actor. From Any Given Sunday, to the Soloist, to Ray, to Collateral - he has really offered a convincing image with some challenging roles roles. Deacon James is the keeper of the knowledge. He is the only believer of a truly farfetched theory that he must somehow convince others of its validity. It won't be easy, but Jamie can do it.
Donar Gamule - Dolph Lundgren
Who doesn't love Masters of the Universe? Donar is a Russian, no B.S, hard as steel, calm, brutal human being. I don't think I need to say anything else. Dolph, its yours buddy. Just don't step on me.
FUN FACT: This would be the 2nd movie with Minion in the title that Dolph has been in. True story.
Lance Goodard - Regan Adair
I had the luxury of watching Regan perform with the Dallas Theater Center. His presence is undeniable on stage. Even between lines, I would keep him in the corner of my eye, preparing for him to explode in my face. Very bold, confident actor with strength in his voice and face. Lance spends his time in this story convincing himself and his audience of violently radical ideals. We are gonna need some firepower. Regan is the guy, no doubt
Ospi Gamule - Jackie Earle Haley
Picture Jackie Earl balding, no legs (one prosthetic), climbing along cave walls. whispering in the dark, sneaking from behind, moving like a ballerina, ending countless innocent lives and building underground visual art with the remains of the dead. Sounds like horror to me.
Kayden Archer - Gerard Butler
Transformation will be imperative to exhibit. Kayden Archer will have to quickly turn from a simple man of medicine to a divine flooded with hate. An actor will not only have to convince an audience that these supernatural events could very well happen, but that Kayden Archer has given up on his dreams, family, and career to become a vigilante. I've seen several sides to Gerard Butler. I've seen grace, progression, compassion, despair, regret, brutality, and pure hatred. He's gonna need it all to do Kayden Archer justice.
