Park- Glen in walking deadEleonor- Lindsay lohan (I imagine her body type could pass as a little bit curvy and she could gain some weight for the role)
I would like to see Fangirl or Attachments as a movie. For Attachments, I would cast Jay Baruchel as Lincoln, Jennifer Connelly as Jennifer and Alyson Hannigan or Kirsten Dunst as Beth.
I'd love to see any of the books be movies!Seeing as how Eleanor and Park IS being made into a movie, I've had the dream cast conversation with my friends.
I think Eleanor and Park should be newcomers because a lot of the Korean-American actors aren't the right age to play Park, and Eleanor has such a specific look that it would be hard to find someone popular who wouldn't take focus just by being themselves.
But I do think it'd be cool to see Christina Hendricks play Eleanor's mom and Christopher Meloni play Park's dad. I'm not familiar with the following actress's work (she was in "Cloud Atlas" apparently), but Doona Bae looks like how I imagine Park's mom would look.
I'd DEFINITELY cast Eleanor and Park! I would cast Ami Metcalf as Eleanor (she's just how I pictured her, and although British, I'm sure with training she could pull of an American accent! Look at Hugh Jackman :D) and Seol Gong Chan as Park, he's an up and coming Korean actor, and although mid twenties, could definitely pass for 17 ish, he also looks exactly how I imagined Park!
I'd love to see Fangirl as a movie.Emma Watson as Wren/Cath (mostly because she looks good in a pixie cut but we know she can play a more dorky character too.)
I can't think of anyone I like as Levi.
Emma Stone or Jany Levy as Reagan.
Paul Wesley as Nick.
it's weird but i think DANampaikid on Vine is perfect for Park
other than that, i think Jennifer Stone (Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place) could be a good Eleanor. And Harry Shum for Park, he still could look a little 16-ish or 17-ish

Definitely Emma Watson as Wren/Cath!
And I always pictured Austin Butler as Levi! He's blonder than the picture makes him appear, btw haha.
And then I pictured Mae Whitman for Reagan.
Eleanor and Park:Eleanor- Maria Lark
I think this character is difficult because Hollywood likes skinny blondes, especially in that age range but I love Maria. Such spunk. (she'd have to dye hair I realize)
Park-Lee Hyun-woo
Just because he is a great Korean actor and looks the part. I have no idea if he can speak English lol.
Eleanor's mom-Alicia Witt
Eleanor's stepdad-Edward Norton
Park's mom-Sandra Oh
Park's dad-Damian Lewis

Emma Watson is a fun choice. But if she was Wren/Cath, then I would really like to see Daniel Radcliffe as Simon Snow and Tom Felton as Baz for the scenes that Cath writes. I am pretty sure I would nerd out hard core if that happened.

I am totally for the idea of Daniel and Tom playing Simon and Baz, this really would be the greatest thing ever :D
@Maribeth. Yes, it would be the best thing ever if Daniel and Tom played Simon and Baz.
Well Eleanor and Park is already being made into a movie. They also said Rainbow wants to cast complete outcasts for the role. I agree. After all, do you see many big, super curly, red haired girls and have Chinese half Irish but still Asian looking boys popular in the acting world? I think not. But if another one was to be made, I would choose Fangirl. I haven't read Attachments or Landline but I'm going to get too them soon. :)
I would love to see Fangirl as a movie! It would be just perfect!I would cast Sam Calfin as Levi, I don't know why but I feel like he could do a great job.
As for Cath/Wren I'd like to see twin actresses who are debuting.
For Attachments, I imagined Chris Pratt as Lincoln, and Rashida Jones as Beth.
Also, I'm currently reading Landline, and I'm imagining Tina Fey as Georgie. :)

always saw Bart Johnson as Park's dad
for Fangirl idk i always thought of Torrey DeVito as cath/wren idk why
I don't really have many preferences, but if a Fangirl movie were to ever be made, I would really want to see an actual set of twins play Cath and Wren. I know it's more expensive, but it's so much more authentic. I hate when they have the same actor or actress play both parts. It irks me.I do know that Eleanor and Park is going to be a movie. I'm leaving it up to Hollywood to cast everyone because I can't even pick one actor or actress right now who I think would be great. I hope they get some unknowns who can really show us their stuff.

It makes the movie more exciting.
For attachments I would cast:Chris Pratt as Lincoln
Kat dennings as Beth
Allison pill as Jennifer
Eleanor & Park!!! Not because it is the first, but teens these days are into it.
Eleanor and park: if they really do it right this book to movie adaptation can change things in the movie industry. they just need to find great actors it doesn't matter if their famous or not.Also fangirl could be a great movie but is more difficult because of the twins situation haha!
Am I the only one who saw Kat Dennings as Beth and Beth Behrs as Jennifer!?
Eleanor-Sarah Snook. I know she's a lot older than the character but she's a great actress. I saw that Jennifer Stone also fits the profile. Park-My vote's for Ki Hong Lee.
Fangirl-- Emma Watson for Cath/Wren but I think she's too famous and of course she's already tied to the Harry Potter kingdom. If you cast Emma Watson as Cath/Wren, you better cast Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton.
Landline---In my head I kept picturing Martin Freeman and his real-life partner Amanda Abbington. But a more American version would be Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. They had good chemistry in They Came Together. Ironically, Amy Poehler's ex-husband can play Seth. heheh.
For the younger versions of Georgie and Neal I imagine Logan Lerman and Anna Sophia Robb.
Landline---In my head I kept picturing Martin Freeman and his real-life partner Amanda Abbington. But a more American version would be Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. They had good chemistry in They Came Together. Ironically, Amy Poehler's ex-husband can play Seth. heheh.
Definitely Attachments. I think it'd be the perfect romantic comedy and people would relate to the story, especially all the cute stalking and the code names they used for Lincoln. I'd enjoy so much seeing it in the big screen!

I agree with all your picks. :)
Sorry but.....please don't make Carry On into a movie. No one can do Baz justice, no one can do Simon justice, no one can do Penny justice, and it's likely that someone could do Agatha justice but only because she's a petty arse and no one likes her.
I just want Lindsay Lohan maybe for Fangirl. I dont know with boys xD Oh Maybe Ki Hong Lee for Park cuz Korean xD

3. Jessica Chastain- Elanor's mother
For Fangirl:
1. Sarah Bolger or Hailee Steinfeld- Cath/Wren
2. Ansel Elgort- Levi
3. Phoebe Tonkin- Reagan
3. Octavia Spencer- Prof. Piper
Fangirl: Vanessa Marano or Kaya Scodelario as Reagan
Hailee Steinfield, Sammi Hanratty or Emma Stone as Cath/Wren
Lucas Till or Andrew Garfield as Levi
Keke Palmer as Courtney
Julianne Moore as Prof. Piper
Brendan Robinson as Nick
Carry On, absolutely. It would be a fantastic fantasy inspired movie!!
I think carry on would make a fantastic movie
I would love to see one of her books be turned into a movie!

Probably either Fangirl or Carry On!For Cath, Emma Watson. For Levi, Sam Claflin.
For Baz, Ezra Miller. For Simon, Troye Sivan.
I’d LOVE seeing Carry On as a movie, so here goes mu dream cast.Simon- Troye Sivan
Baz- Rob Raco
Penny- Amandla Stenberg
Agatha- Gabriella Wilde
Baz’s mom- Marisol Nichols
The Mage- Hugh Jackman

I can totally see Ami as Eleanor!
I’d definitely cast Rob Raco (though not spot on) as Baz, I think he could do a great job being a posh British boy.
No one can do Simon justice, tbh.

I agree on the Mage and Agatha, but idk on Troye and Rob, they both seem a little old to play Snowbaz
