Casting Call for Darwin's Children: The Psychic Vampires

Before I share this post I feel the need to disclaim myself. Darwin's Children is not being adapted into a movie. Nor will it be a TV show. I wanted to clear that up because I gave several people the wrong idea. I just do this for fun.

My bad...

Moving on, last week I cast the teens from the Darwin's Children series. Now, it's time to move onto those wacky paranormal's. The psychic vampires. In the first book of the series, I really only introduced Layla Grey, the vampire mother and Sasha Grey, her savage daughter. Because of this, they are only two I will be "casting today."

Let me know what you think of my picks.

Layla Grey. Picture her without the make-up and with jet black hair. I think Charlize Theron would be a fierce vampire. I've loved her ever since I saw her in Monster.

Sasha Grey! I'd love to see Michelle Trachtenberg take on the most lethal hunter in DC. I know she hasn't done much action, but she has the look, and I've always been a fan.

Well, what do you think? Feel free to share your choices. Next week, a few members of the Dey-Vah Guard. That should be fun.

Casting Call For Darwin's Children: The Kiddies

Because I'm a huge geek, I had a lot of fun doing this last week. So, I'm back this week posting pictures of my dream cast for the younger characters of Darwin's Children: Haylee, Matt and Jaycie. Enjoy!

Meet Miss Omega herself. I've been a huge fan of Keke Palmer ever since I saw her in Akeelah and the Bee. I think she would be a fantastic Jaycie Lerner. 

I've loved Katelyn Pippy from Army Wives. I think she's a great choice for Haylee Mitchell. 

Okay, so I'm not a fan of the Justin Bieber haircut, but picture this guy with shorter, spiky hair. Well, hello Matt Carter! Rarw. I hope you can act Austin Victoria.

I hope you like my picks. Next week I'll be back casting a few of the vampires and members of the Dey-Vah. Plus, I'll be posting some of the new supers from Unnatural Law.

Casting Call for Darwin's Children: The Big Three

I'd like to start this post by saying I totally stole this idea from the wonderfully talented author of the YA adventure Excelsior, George Sirois. You can read my review of his debut title Here. Its worth checking out.

Now on to that age old question, if my books were ever turned into a movie or  TV series, who do I see playing them? I'd like to start with the big three in the Darwin's Children series, or rather, the adults because they were the easiest to "cast." Here are my picks for John Gramm, Mason Lerner and Allison Young.

I'm pretty sure Bradley Cooper was born to play the super powered master of the human will. I decided this after seeing him in the A-team. He has John Gramm's sense of humor and big, blue eyes. 

 

 

 

I've always loved Terrance Howard and think he would be a great Mason Lerner.

I've always loved Thirteen from House, and can totally see her leveling planets and juggling tanks. She's my pick to play Jaycie's mommy, Allison Young. 

Next week I'll do the kiddies, or Matt, Jaycie and Haylee. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts about my picks. Authors, who is your dream cast for your own work? 

Happy Sunday!
