Okay, a couple of you think that last blog of mine opened a new subject that wasn’t very interesting. That’s fine, no problem, I just come up with stuff that interests me…but I’m up for you people to pick your own topics. So - let’s go with Clare’s idea: if The Faerie Path was made into a movie, who would you want to act the main parts?
Movie Actors

Me either. lol But I couldn’t come up with anyone else I thought would come close. The only one I really like was the one for Rathina I think Katie McGrath would do a really good job. And maybe Ben Barnes for Gabriel.
It’s sort of hard to pick because when you think about it, most of the teen actors are either from Disney, Nickelodeon, or grown up to be too old (like Daniel Radcliffe, who’s in his 20’s now). So I can’t really come up with anybody…maybe it should be an open audition in obscure cities like, oh, a few in coastal Alabama? winkwink. Although, the guy who plays Murtagh in the Eragon movies might be good for Drak. I really didn’t like that movie, but I liked him. Garret Hedlund- that’s his name.
I read the series, and I’m sixteen, seventeen in October. It’s funny, but I’ve meant to read it for years, but I couldn’t afford it in hardcover. So I waited until it came out in paperback and read it.
Drak. Drake. I can’t type today.
Yeah, I thought about that too. But, you know Eragon was filmed four years ago, and Garret Hedlund is naturally blond anyway, isn’t he? I was thinking maybe Ben Barnes for Drake. The guy that plays Prince Caspian.
um u missed titania, Arya
Im 11yrs old and i loved the series, so i think it should be a family movie. (cant wait for the fifth book to come out!!!!!!)
Titania isn’t really in the first book that much, is she?
I think that Ed Speleers (eragon) would make a great edric. and the guy that plays Murtagh or Ben Barnes (prince caspian) would be good for drake
Everyone’s forgetting Mr. and Mrs. Palmer and Jade
i agree wit u addie but they r not really the main caracters but their still important cause theres a reason 4 every 1 in a book and i totally think edric should be robert patterson becasue he sounds like him and taylor or that guy who played prince caspian(ben barnes) would be good 4 drake.
I see you have a lot of people loving your THE FAERIE PATH series Allan but people dont forget about his WARRIOR PRINCESS series. -Ally
What about all of tania’s other friends?
Hey Allan, did you ever think about taking part in your movie. Like being an actor in it?
true addie. and i thought you were doing the first 2 books arya, sorry
Hey Allan…u should play Tania’s father. I could totally see u as him. I also think the woman who played the mother in Narnia should play Tania’s mother. Jade should be played by Georgie Henly. She played Lucy in the Narnia series. I agree with Marisa. Its hard to pick actors because they are all grown up.
My teacher said Stephanie Meyer was in her own movie, twilight, and i agree with Jess. Mr.Jones would be good for the part of Mr.Palmer
maybe even the king too.
most prodcers of movies/authors of the book that was made into a movie, play a small cameo role
mhm…..
i like the idea of Chace Crawford playing Edric.
but the rest….no idea.
well i would like to be a part of the movie
I Think Johanna Braddy should play Mrs. Palmer and Queen Titania
Johanna Braddy looks kinda young to be playing a parent.
well tania is not supposed to resemble her mortal parents at all and titania is supposed to look exactly like tania but Johanna Braddy looks somewhat like her (so you can cancel out her playing mrs. palmer) but not enough like her! (there goes titania)
Huh i lost you at looks somewhat like her Carolina
Yea I agree
Okay, first of all I think that Jason Dolley should play Edric. Second I think you should have Auditions in Idk maybe The Crystal Coast more specifically Cape Carteret. I would so totally be stoked if that were to happen. I think for Titana I think maybe Kate Hudson. For Rathina should be played by Vanessa Ann Hudgens and Jade by Monique Coleman. I always imagened jade black with curly brown hair. And Hopie should be Demi Lovato. And I think I should be Zara or Tania JK. But that would be awesome. Mr. Palmer should be Brad Pitt. Mrs. Palmer Johanna Braddy
Okay perfect songand band! Careless Whisper by seether when Drake takes Tania into Faerie i have on my ipod i think it would fit that part perfectly.
I agree with you Amber Jason Dolley would be cool! (but i would still love chace crawford!!!)
I hope that there are going to be worldwide castings…
not just UK or USA….
maybe michelle trachtenberg as hopie…or emma watson…
well i would love to be tania or cordelia!
and what about ashley tisdale as sancha?
i meant johanna brady looks a bit like tania when tania and her mortal mother aren’t supposed to look at all alike. but johanna brady doesn’t look almost exactly like tania when titania and tania are supposed to look exactly alike.
ashley tisdale as sancha never! for one sancha has dark brown eyesandshe has dark brown hair! they look nothing alike! (basing it upon the description of sancha)
Yes Carolina but u cant get two different people to look the exact same!
ok so then Johanna Brady can Be Titania
Allan… i could defiantely see u as either oberon or mr palmer. but i have a question… what do YOU picture jade looking like?
I think the girl on the cover looks lot like Isla Fisher, U no the one from confessions of a shopaholic……….
AFJ. Hi, Jess! In my head Jade has long straight black hair - she is tall and slim but quite athletic (it doesn’t say so in the early books, but she takes karate classes and tai chi - the kind of tai chi where you get to use a sword!!! Hmmm…now, should I have told you that? I wonder…). She’s quite dark skinned but I’m not sure if that means she’s part Italian or Spanish or quite what (I never thought to ask her!). She has dark eyes, too.
But if other people see her differently, that’s fine with me.
As I’m not an actor, I think me playing Oberon or Mr Palmer might not work for the movie producers. A smaller part, for me, perhaps - just a little cameo part. (If I was younger, I would have like to play Lord Brython - Hopie’s husband - he looks a bit like me a few years ago…)
AFJ. I’ve been trying to find out the name of the model on the cover, but the publishers can’t remember!
Jade sounds like the Bratz doll! lol
im not very good with names but mabey you should just have aditions all over the place! like mabey in VA!!!!
I imagined Jade as kinda Spanish
iv never pictured her as spanish. but i could see that…
Mr. Jones are u going to have any say in the directors pick in the actors and where the auditions are? Will u give us the locations if u do.
I think Sterling Knight should play Edric, they are both blonde and I could so see him playing Edric.
AFJ. I’m not sure what kind of input I’d be allowed by the producers if a movie was ever made of The Faerie Path series. Probably not very much - but you never know, I might get a trip to New Zealand out of it. Or not.
Here’s the thing:
170,000 books are published every year in America. Of that number, about 200 are “optioned” for a possible movie (optioning means buying the rights of the book with the possibility of making a movie of it). Of the 200 books “optioned” about TWO get to be movies.
So we’ll keep our fingers crossed, but we’ll also be keeping our feet on the ground, I think.
Oh i sure hope so cause when im reading i already feel like ive watched the movie but id love to see it on the big screen. and id also like to be in it but i know thats a small possibilty.
oh that stinks i hope you get picked! and you prob will have a little say cuz when they first made harry potter they wanted to change hermione to bonie but rowling would not let them change that much!
how would you know if the Faerie Path were one of the books optioned for a possible movie?
AFJ. I’d know if the books had been optioned because the Movie Producers would have to sign a contract and pay some money.
The absolute best position to be in, is if two different movie companies were bidding for the option - but right now I’d be happy with one.
Well back to the subject of the Movie, if it is made into it they should use the song by Brad Paisley “Then”
iv never heard that song is it up beat or slow???
yeah i’ve never heard it either
lol good im not a complet idiot!
