Bonnie Before The Casting Call

I
answered some questions in a writer’s forum recently about my latest book. “If
your latest book was a movie, who would direct? Who would star as the lead
characters? What song would play during the ending credits?” My answers went as
such:





 Bonnie Before The Brain Implants

available on Amazon.com



“Who would direct?”



 The Coen Brothers would be the
perfect choice to direct. I think Rian Johnson or JJ Abrams would both have
very unique takes on the story as well, but The Coens have a knack for oddities
like this.







“Who would star as the lead
characters?”



Bonnie Neman: Emma
Stone or Taylor Swift. The character is a brilliant young woman who's mother
forced her into beauty pageants for just about her entire life. The result is
that she's dedicated herself to science and discovery, to obsessively prove
herself as more than a smile on a stage.



Javier Costello: Adrien Brody would actually bring a lot to the character
with all his little expressions and mannerisms. He's a scientist at the end of
his rope, forced by his corprose bosses into the impossible task of designing a
shrink ray. His story is that of a man in a rut, and I'm reminded of Brody in The
Brothers Bloom.




Douglas Houser: Tom
Cruise, Matthew Fox, or Jim Caviezel. The character is a self obsessed, care
free administrator type. He needs to be smooth, slimy, and have a killer smile.
Cruise would be an easy first choice, but the other two could be interesting in
the part.




Gerald Hume: James
Earl Jones, Ian McKellen, or Patrick Stewart would all be perfect for the part.
The character is the president of what is essentially this sci-fi geek's dream
playland, and the character needs that fatherly, soothing voice. Also, on film his
voice has to be just as exciting as when you when you discover exactly what
Hume is...



 



“What song would play during the ending credits?”

 



 

At least that's a good first choice. But all of these would be fun too:
