Suzanna Hoang LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Never really had a picture for Julian, but he seems to fit quite nicely for the role. I can't really judge because I only know him from Disney, but I have faith in him! Now all we need is our Alex...


Suzanna Hoang I was just thinking, if Julian has been cast for the Pilot, that means we're being introduced to his character very early on as opposed to waiting for all the shenanigans to happen first. I don't mind them straying from the book, but I just find it a bit of a stretch to have Julian in the very first episode.


Katie I think he reminds me more of Alex than Julian

They're making the series into a tv show.


Vivid Light ~ ♥♥ Ya know, it's alright. Freddie Stroma would have been more fitting but oo-kaay.

Omg no way that so not how I imagined him....


Brittney I'm giving up all expectations for this series, because I have the funny feeling it's going to dreadful. :P The fact that they've cast Julian for the Pilot, when he doesn't appear til book 2, is just the final nail in the coffin.

Erin I think he can definitely pass as an acceptable Julian but I agree with previous comments that I hope he's not introduced too early in the series!!

Now we need an Alex!!


Caitlin Look at some of the changes they are making wil be nothing like the book and episode one covers the full first book :o http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidetheb...


Suzanna Hoang Hmm, those changes aren't actually that bad. I mean, we all knew if they were to turn this into a television series, there would have to be changes. I don't really mind the additional characters and Julian being in the pilot, I just hope that if they plan to cover the full first book, that they do it well. They have to establish relationships, memories and stories that are key leading up to Pandemonium. Cross you fingers, guys!

Lexi Holy shit this is awesome. I think they cast the role well

Urrr. After reading that I'm definitely NOT tuning into the show, if even gets picked up. Simply because I really don't want to lose the integrity of the books. :(


Ifrah I saw the picture first and immediately though of Julian and when I found out that he would be playing Julian I was so happy!
Can't wait for this show.

I can be ok with most of the changes except the Hana/Julian thing. I'm team Julian so I really hope that that happens in the show at some point. Also, I'm kinda bummed that it might be Hana that introduces Julian to love rather than Lena.

The books will always be the books. They'll be just as amazing and heart-breaking regardless of what becomes of the television series. I certainly don't think they'll lose integrity just by the sheer fact that they were so well received to even be considered as a tv series. Apprehension is understandable, but I for one am beyond excited despite the changes which you have to admit are unavoidable for something like this.

I'm not so much upset that it was picked up for a show or anything of that nature. And I understand that in order to make anything work, changes have to be made in order to fit things into a certain time slot. But I was also one of the people miffed at the horrid botching that was the Beautiful Creatures movie, so I'm really keeping low standards for this. And I may not watch it at all because I'm too scared it's not going to even be the same story anymore.


Ilana i'm actually not familiar with him at all so maybe that's a good thing. i'm always one for discovering new talent and putting them into a role that i think could be fore them. we'll see how it turns out.

I actually enjoyed Beautiful Creatures very much. They made a lot of changes, but I still thought it was humorous and captured the heart of the story very well. But I can also see why some people didn't like it. Luckily I read it a long time ago and couldn't remember most of what happened. But yeah, never expect too much or you might be disappointed otherwise.


Abbigail so do they have a date on when the series is premiering? I cannot wait! LOVE THE CAST
!


message 24: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice wait, when is the series premiering?


Suzanna Hoang well this is just a pilot, I think what they do is they shoot a bunch of different pilots for different shows and then they choose among those pilots the ones they will actually go forward with, if im not mistaken. That's what they did with the Selection anyway...

Beatrice Thnx that makes sense :)

Oh no! That sounds horrible :( Ren? Seriously? Good lord


Natasha oh god this is horrible i was expecting a movie i cannot stand shows they will drag this book on forever my life is over they should have made this a movie im so pissed right now


Leela He fits the role well IMO (except wasn't Julian blonde??) perhaps a bad hair dye job will be in-store, in which case I'd rather they leave him as a brunette ;s

I know!! I can't wrap my head around them getting through the whole first book in the pilot episode. What??! What on earth is the rest of the season going to be about?? A series of flashbacks into each characters lives and side stories I'm guessing. Yikes, I'm still holding out hope though, I just love this book series.... Please do it justice!!! And pretty please cast someone suitable for Alex! Not too Hollywood pls ;)


Amirah I. Julian and Hana?!!! Omg I can't accept this :'(

Haha I agree! The whole first book in one episode? That really is crazy im guessing we're going to miss so much :( and julien and Hana what the? That's bad. :(


Suzanna Hoang Well I suppose they have good reason for going over the entire book one in the pilot. I'm sure they're not sitting there plotting different ways they can piss us off. Fortunately, their job is to make us happy so that we watch it, so I'm sure they have a plan behind the madness. Hopefully it turns out well.


Nellie ☾ He's a cutie! :D I have no problems with him as Julian xD



message 35: by Brie (new) - rated it 5 stars

Brie I'm not as attached to the character's looks in Delirium like I was with say, the Hunger Games or the Mortal Instruments. So as long as he can act and can kill it on screen, I love him :)


message 36: by Lexi (new) - rated it 5 stars

Lexi This is unexceptable Julian can't be so good looking cuz Alex has to be better looking lol


Rachael_A I'm not sure how I feel about this becoming a show instead of a movie, but I definitely do not like the fact that it seems that they are changing things around and pretty much skipping most of the first book.


Andrea Im super pissed right now. I just read that Hanna was cast...Jeanine Mason. WTF? HELLO! HANNA IS BLONDE! Oh and Julian will live next door to Hanna and has a thing for her? No, no, no. I just cant....I mean Ive been trying to get around the fact that Emma Roberts will be playing Lena and that this other guy, cant remember his name, will be playing my perfect Alex and that Julian will be in the pilot. And now this? No this was the last straw. Im sorry I dont know if I will ever give this tv series a chance.
I want to cry, I want to scream and rip my hair off. Sorry I may seem a bit dramatic but this is not at all what I was expecting.
Am I the only one that feels like this?

I absolutely agree with you. Although, I've never seen this Daren guy before, so I'm not going to pass any judgment on his casting for Alex until I actually see it. I mean, so long as they dye the hair, I think I might be okay with him. But Emma? Hell no. Jeanine? I adore the girl to pieces, loved her on So You Think You Can Dance, but she is not Hana. Hana is a tall athletic blonde, with slightly tanned skin and a perfect complexion. The whole screwing around the plotline thing, explaining the ENTIRE FIRST BOOK in the first episode, and then adding random ass characters who don't even belong in the first place. AAAGH. >:(

Not to mention, Julian being their friend from the beginning, kind of defeats the purpose of the series. Alex was new to her, because outside of relatives and authority figures, Lena has really never SPENT TIME with a boy. Boys are new to her. Uncured boys, are new to her. They're forced to go to separate schools for a reason. I would think their parents would have a hay day finding out that they're friends WITH A BOY THAT ISN'T CURED OR RELATED TO THEM. Is that just me?

Augh. I might watch the first episode, just to fight off curiosity. But after that, I probably won't continue with it. This series would have worked so much better as a series of movies.

I had not thought of the fact that Lena has never talked to an uncured boy before Alex. I agree with you a 100% on that point, they are not supposed to be friends with uncured boys. I guess I will watch the pilot too but I wish it wouldve been turned into a movie..

Emma They can't take out the bonding of Alex and Lena! Those were the best parts. Especially when they were in his trailer looking at the stars. That was the sweetest moment of the book. Other than that, I don't really mind the other changes. I think Ren will be an interesting character.

Cristina I was so excited for this TV series until I saw the casting. I think Gregg Sulkin is okay for Julian, but that's about it. I'm not too happy with the rest of the cast, its just nothing like I imagined it. I wonder just how far off they are gonna stray from the books...
