Blue Bloods Series Fantasy Cast

If you haven't heard me talk about it yet, Blue Bloods is the latest series I'm obsessed with. While reading, I've had actors in my head for a lot of the main characters, so I've created a fantasy cast for the Blue Bloods Series by Melissa de la Cruz. Check back later this week for a giveaway of one of the books in the series!

I'm only on the 3rd Blue Bloods book, so my cast won't include any characters introduced afterwards (if there even are any). Please don't mention anything spoiler-y about the characters in the comments!

Schulyer Van Alen- the outcast who's suddenly thrust into the spotlight in the vampire world. Pretty, but in a natural, not a flashly way like Mimi. Played by...

Dakota Fanning. I think she would be absolutely perfect if she dyed her hair darker. Plus, she actually looks 15, like Schuyler is. She has the right look of fragileness combined with smarts, and she's a fantastic actress.

Bliss Llewellyn- the beautiful new girl. Curly red hair, tall, and gorgeous. Played by...

Rachel Hurd-Wood. I don't know if she's perfect, but she's the only one that came to my mind. She's pretty, and has the long curly red hair going (It's not curly in this picture, but is in others). As a bonus, she's only 20 years old.









Jack Force- very handsome, but also wise. The vampire twin, or soulmate, of Mimi, though he is starting to fall in love with Schulyer instead. Played by...

Chad Michael Murray. I know he's too old, but this is a fantasy cast, right? I couldn't get him out of my head for Jack throughout the whole book. I just think he's perfect.

Oliver Hazard-Perry -the human best friend of Schuyler. Ordinary looking. Played by...

Jamie Bell. He looks a little too old, but I just love him, and once again, it's a fantasy cast! His hair in this picture reminds me of Oliver for some reason. This pick I'm least solid on though- if you have any other Oliver suggestions let me know! I was having a hard time finding anyone who looked like Oliver in my mind.

Mimi Force- the blonde, beautiful, controlling and manipulative, ultra rich girl who always wears the latest fashions and shuns those that don't. Jack's vampire twin, or soulmate. Same blonde hair as him. Played by...

Alyson Michalka. I think a lot of actresses could play Mimi, but I like Alyson because she looks like that girl that has everything. And I could see her with Chad Michael Murray looking like a stunning couple.

Dylan Ward- the Blue Blood who was mysteriously transformed by the Silver Bloods... also Bliss's crush/love. Played by...

Justin Chatwin. I don't really like Dylan's character, I find him dull, but I find Bliss pretty dull too. But Justin is spot on to how I imagined Dylan.

Kingsley Martin- poses as a high schooler, but is actually a bit older. Very good looking and mysterious. We're unclear whose side he's really on... (at least at the point in the book where I'm at!) Played by...

Zac Efron. From the second Kingsley was introduced I had Zac in my head, and the more I read the more perfect I realized he was. He's got the good looks, he's the perfect age, and I think he'd play the mysterious hot guy really well. :)






What do you think about my picks? Do you have any of your own suggestions to add?

HG Week: Day 2- The Perfect Hunger Games Movie Cast

This my ideal Hunger Games cast if it were ever to be made into a movie. I know there is a movie in the works, and I am hoping to see it get made even though I know it will never be as good as the books. This is purely my own thoughts and just for fun! I know everyone has different opinions, and I'm happy to hear others.

I prefer unknown to play the main characters, but since we obviously can't make fan-made casts of unknowns, these are all pretty well-known actors. Not my first choice, but this is just for fun.

Please don't leave any rude comments if you don't agree with my choices, but feel free to tell me what you think about them and leave your own suggestions!

Katniss Everdeen: Kaya Scodelario
Films She's In: Moon, Clash of the Titans


She's not my "dream pick" for Katniss, but she's the best I could find. I've never seen her act though.

Gale Hawthorne: Nicholas Hoult
Films He's In: Clash of the Titans, X-Men: First Class




"He could be my brother. Straight black hair, olive skin, we even have the same gray eyes." (Hunger Games pg8)

Once again, I've never seen him act, but I think he totally looks the part. He could tan a little, but he has the perfect hair and really good looks!

Peeta Mellark: William Moseley
Films He's In: The Chronicles of Narnia series





"Medium height, stocky build, ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forehead." (Hunger Games pg 25)

I loved him in Chronicles of Narnia, and when I read the Hunger Games I couldn't get him out of my head for Peeta. Another popular suggestion I've heard is Alex Pettyfer, who would be completely awesome too. I'm actually kind of torn between the two.

Haymitch: Robert Downey Jr.
Films He's In: Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes

He's a popular pick for Haymitch, and I have to agree. Haymitch is the one role who I think needs to be humorous, to give relief to the tension in the rest of the story. Robert Downey Jr. could bring a lot of humor to the role and he's also a brilliant actor. He would also be a "big name" that would draw a lot of viewers who aren't familiar with the books.

Primrose Everdeen: Elle Fanning
Films She's In: Astro Boy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


She's perfect for Prim. She's so sweet and innocent looking, and has the blonde hair and delicate looks. I was concerned that she was a little young, but I found out she's 12- the exact age as Prim! How much perfect could it get?

Mrs. Everdeen: Jodie Foster
Films She's In: Flightplan, Nim's Island


I saw her in Flightplan and I thought she would be a perfect Mrs. Everdeen. She's a great actor and can look frazzled and worried, and also convey the depth of emotion from never getting over her lost husband. If this was a real movie, they would probably have someone that's less of a big name play Mrs. Everdeen, but I think Jodie Foster would be great.

Cinna: Hugh Dancy
Films He's In: Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Jane Austen Book Club



"I'm taken aback by how normal he looks...Cinna's close-cropped hair appears to be its natural shade of brown. The only concession to self-alteration seems to be metallic gold eyeliner that has been applied with a light hand...I can't help thinking how attractive it looks." (Hunger Games pg 63)

I love Hugh Dancy, who doesn't? He's got amazing looks, and I can totally see him as a hairstylist who also becomes Katniss's friend.


Effie Trinket: Kristin Chenoweth
Films She's In: Guest spot on Glee, Four Christmases



"fresh from the Capitol with her scary white grin, pinkish hiar, and spring green suit" (Hunger Games pg18)

She has a great funny personality and her voice would be absolutely perfect for Effie!

President Snow: Michael Des Barres
Film's He's In: Catch That Kid



"small, white-haired, snakelike eyes" (Catching Fire, pg 17)

My sister suggested him to me after watching Catch That Kid and I agree, he's creepy and powerful looking. I always imagined President Snow younger looking while reading the books, but when I went back through Catching Fire I realized he is probably older.

Madge: Ellen Page

Films She's In: Inception, Whip It, Juno

Like Mrs. Everdeen, Madge would probably be played by a less popular actress, but if I could pick anyone, I would say Ellen Page. She's a great actress and would be great for Madge, even though I think there are actually a lot of actresses that could play Madge, I just really like Ellen Page.

Rue: Rubina Ali
What She's In: Slumdog Millionaire, Bollywood Hero



I always imagined the district 11 tributes (Rue and Thresh) to look Indian, and this girl immeadietly came to mind. She's adorable and you can easily see why Katniss befriended her.

Portia: Hilary Swank

Films She's In: Amelia, P.S. I Love You

Once again, a role that might be played by a lesser known actress, but I think Hilary Swank and Hugh Dancy would make a great pair of stylists!

These are just a few of the characters and my favorite picks. I might do another post with my picks for the tributes (from The Hunger Games and Catching Fire). And, if there's any major characters I forgot about, be sure to comment and let me know and I'll add them! I hope I didn't miss anyone. I would love to hear what you think about my choices!
