If this was a movie and you were the casting director; who would you cast?
For example: I would cast Ian Somerhalder as Joshua


Kaine Andrews (kaineandrews) | 75 comments Isn't that Damon Salvatore? ;) Well, in my head, here's who was who:

Parker Posey (circa Scary Movie) as Rachael; James Van Der Beek as Jesse; Winona Rider (after her breakdown) as Mrs. Taylor; Sam Niel (specifically from the latter chunk of Event Horizon) as Joshua (yes, he's too old, but his demonic look is what comes to mind with the descriptions); Samuel L. Jackson as Job and Samantha Ferris as Anna.

Probably an odd list (especially my insistence on pulling from certain time periods) and the only one who's actually the "right" age is probably Samantha Ferris, but oh well.

interesting choices. i think that the old lead singer of nightwish would make a good elizabeth. she's very strange and demonic looking but still angelic enough to pass for what shes supposed to be

I think a lot of my original lists were older actors/ actresses too such as Audrey Hepburn as Rachael. I thought that Sean Bean would be a good one for Raphael just because in everything he is in he has that strong, leader, type character with just a chance of becoming evil


Kaine Andrews (kaineandrews) | 75 comments Sean Bean, eh? I picture more Alec Baldwin... but I'm known to be insane. XD

Lol. I think either one would work. I was looking through actors/ actresses of the right age group and I think Logan lerman would be good as Jesse, just because he has that whole baby-face, puppy dog eyes thing going on


Justin (justinbienvenue) James Van Der Beek has Jesse? More like him as Joshua, the guy plays toolish douchey roles lately he would be perfect for Joshua! lol


Justin (justinbienvenue) Shenae Grimes or Ashley Greene as Rachael, James Van Der Beek or Stuart Townsend as Joshua, Chad Michael Murray as Jesse, Kristen Ritter as Elizabeth, Brad Pitt or Aaron Eckhart as Gabriel, Terrance Stamp or Christopher Lee as Raphael, Eric Roberts as Job.


Jennifer | 38 comments I seem to recall this conversation from a while ago Shay, I also seem to remember offering Alec Baldwin up as an option too.

I believe you did. I always thought Christopher Lee as Job. Recently after watching The last airbender (don't ask... younger brothers... and hey, I grew up on that show and they finally made it into a live movie... 5 years ago) I think Jackson Rathbone would make an excellent either Jesse or Gabriel... I honestly don't know why these two characters. I just think so


Jennifer | 38 comments I suggested him as well, not for Jesse, but for Avery. you know that part of that movie was shot in Reading.


Jennifer | 38 comments and I loved Avatar, the last airbender. the cartoon, not really the movie.


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

No I did not, although I know now. And you did say he would be good for Avery. He would work for Gabriel, jesse, or Avery, but as a brunette. Did you see what they did to him in Twilight? Blonde is not a good look on him...


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

The movie kind of sucked... but still


Jennifer | 38 comments it was a bad look in Twilight, but I loved him in Twilight.


message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

I just really like him. In everything. Him or Logan Lerman would make a really good Jesse. Rathbone's not really old enough to play Gabriel, I don't think.


Jennifer | 38 comments no, I don't think he looks old enough to play him.


message 18: by [deleted user] (new)

Who doesn't look old enough to play who? Or are you seconding my motion :P please forgive my braindead-ness tonight


Jennifer | 38 comments Rathbone as Gabriel. And forgiven. I normally work that shift on weekends & by the 3rd night I tend to get poo-brain too.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

lol. I'm debating though for Jesse. Lerman or Rathbone? I just don't know.
And Joshua; well there are a lot of choices for him. Ian Somerhalder, Alex Pettyfer, Channing Tatum (too old but still), Jesse McCartney (Maybe too young but he's got that attitude), William Mosely (have you seen this picture??? http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebri... have you seen this picture?!?!), Hayden Christensen, well the list could go on and on and on


Justin (justinbienvenue) Christopher Lee is ancient! hes 92! He would have to play one of the elder angels. I always pictured Job as a middle aged guy.


message 22: by [deleted user] (new)

I know he's old... More like when he was younger. I think it's the evil voice
