Can't wait for the movieeee...
Mod
I'm pretty sure it'll be good since Kiera Cass said she would be involved in it
Mod
I sure do hope they don't mess up the movie. It could be really good if it's done right
Do you guys know anything about the actresses/actors they've casted so far? I don't recognize any of them.
I didn't know they started casting yet
I saw the actors for America and Maxon in an article, I was trying to find it to post here but I forgot it... can't find it anymore
What do you think, are they going to use the plot from all 3 books in one movie or make a movie per book?
Mod
I heard Netflix is making it? And I sure do hope they do a movie per book. Although I do think it would make a good series, maybe?

So can we talk about the book with spoilers now? Has everyone read the book? :)
Mod
Mod
Yeah, but because of Covid 19 everything is delayed... I mean they are still searching for actors... I know that the production team wants Michael Provost do audition for Maxon, because he really looks the part.. and I agree. :)Also, the girl from the book cover wants to play America... she will audition :D I think she should get it, ofc if she is a good actress, because she is on the cover...she is the face of America :D
Mod
Has anyone read more of the series? What do you think of America? Do you ship her with Aspen or amazon?
I recently finished reading this series. I really enjoyed the first book, but personally I felt as though things went downhill after that. The love triangle in the second book complicated the plot and added unnecessary drama to the story in my opinion, and the third book was also frustrating as it took AGES for America to simply confess her love to Maxon even though it was obvious he loved her as well. But despite my complaints, I still enjoyed some aspects of the books, and I’m glad I read it as it had been on my TBR for a while.
I really liked the first one, but the second one really annoyed me! I wanted to punch Maxon in the face for making fun of America, humiliating her by ignoring her and dating other girls and just being a jerk about it... and I wanted to punch America in the face for being so indecisive and cheating on Maxon. I felt sorry for both of them in the first book, but wanted to punch them in the second. But, I'm just glad they both realized their mistakes by the third one and that it had a happy ending. I love happy endings.
