I picture Barrons and V'lane being aroung 30. Any older and Mac (22) would not be interested in them. I mean 22 just don't find 40 year old attractive!!Ian is still my Barrons. He is hot and sexy and has a badass quality and lots of edge!!! He is the loveable badboy. Eric looks was too old!!!
I think that Jason is hot but again way too old!!!!
Kriten as a brunette? I don't think so. Also she seems to ditzy an actress to do a serious intense scene. I think you need a stronger actress!!!
I hope they make this a movie! Sometimes they buy film rights and never use them!!! For example Succubus Blues rights were sold to fox and nothing has yet to happen :(:(I truly hope they go through with it and don't fuck it up like they usually mess up book transitions into movies!
I actually don't mind new actors being brought in, I think it worked well for the twilight franchise (except kristen stewart, I do not like her!)
and Emma and Dakota are making big bucks in other movies so we will see.
I was just saying in "my" mind while I was reading Barrons was older. However, if I was 20 years old reading the Fever Series he would probably be 30 in my mind(not late 30s-40s). I think it depends on the person. My best friend dated 40 year old guys when she was 20. She thought they were hot. I thought it was gross. But now that I am 37, 40 is not gross anymore to me haha. But back to Barrons, if he is 30 I will be okay with that...a MATURE 30 though.But anyway, Melody I agree with you. They sold the rights (to Fox I think) forA Great and Terrible Beautyto make the movie and then they nixed it. Which really sucks because I loved the book. Hope they do not do this with Fever but who knows.

That image varies on our own pr..."And I bet that is really why the movies are never as good as the book...because they mess up what we have in our mind while we are reading. LOL.
I think it was book #3, because that is when she found out his birthday and did the whole cake thing.
I need to look that up again and see how that went. I don't think she saw a year did she? Just the day and date? Didn't she debate on how many candles to put on the cake? I picture Barrons as 30ish, too.
But see even if she saw the year isn't he like from another century? Or is that just vampires? I am confused...getting my creatures all mixed up. lol.
FOUND IT!!!Darkfever p.43
About thirty, six foot two or three, he had dark hair, golden skin, and dark eyes.
Oh and way cool video!
Look what I found. I forgot they were in the movie Pulse together. I still like her for Mac and him for DEG...so far. lol [image error]
Ok...Mac= Bethany Joy Galeotti (One Tree Hill)
Barrons= Ian Somerhalder (Vampire Diaries)
V'lane= Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights)

Kriten Bell is was too bubbly to play Mac- she can't bring the pathos to the charater.Bethany was killer on Guiding Light and she was amazing on One Tree Hill and she can sing!!!!
No way am I budging on Ian being Barrons. If you watch VD then you would know that he can play snark, badass, sexy, and be vulnerable at the same time. Ian can play complex!!! And did I mention how hot he is!!!!!
LOL Kristen Bell can sing as well, not sure that that matters, but she has some serious "pathos" throughout the 3 VM seasons. Have you seen the show? Shes amazing at just about everything Ive seen her do, including singing.
Sammy wrote: "As far as Kristen being bubbly, she is in certain roles, but I have also seen her in other more serious roles and I think she could definitly make the transition from Pink Mac to Black Mac."I agree Sammy. Well said.
Sammy wrote: "I watch VD, and although Ian does a good Job as Damon, I can't see him as Barrons. He's too pretty. Don't get me wrong he's hot but I picture Barrons as rougher and more mature looking. Not sure ab..."I agree. Ian is too pretty and he would be great as Christian.
Barrons needs to be DARK, SEXY and more mature looking. He has dark eyes in the book. The blue eyes can go to V'Lane and Christian. Barrons needs dark eyes!!!!:)
Can a guy ever be too pretty? Ever heard of contacts. I mean Kristen wore them in Twiligh. Also Ian is in his 30's. Eric is not attractive and he is so old!! Barrons is not that old. I have never really seen VM. I tried to watch it but it didn't hold my interest. Kristen has way too bubbly a voice and she wouldn't look good as a brunette.
Bethany has actually produced CD's!! Halo would be one of my favoirtes of hers!!!
I think in general the casting should go younger or the tweens won't watch it and that is the market the advertisers will want.
What this series it totally PG13. She is really descriptive with the sex. I mean there are no penis or cock or pussy or cunt words really going on. It would only be rated R for violence. The tweens would still go.
Sorry, but there is no way I would want to see any part of this series tweened. It’s very mature, in every aspect of the word, throughout the entire series. Besides, currently sex is still a number one seller, so why bother muting what was intended. JMHOIan as Christian or DEG for sure. Too small to play the "space saturating" Barrons. I guess we can keep Eric until everyone more or less agrees on someone. LOL Cause I'm sure everyone has different pictures in their minds anyway. :~P
What about Aiden Turner from BBC's Being Human for Barrons?http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__EToHfLTFbE...

Holy crap, 2 different hotties with the same name? Damn. I think I like the guy in your second pic Vale, but the first one isn't showing up. Is it on my end only? I hate to say it but I do not like Patrick Wilson as a great looking guy. Maybe the guy next door, but he just doesn't do anything for me, especially after seeing his sex scene with Malin Ackerman in Watchmen. Blech, they made him sooo ugly in that movie.
I love JRM but hes a little too small for Barrons. But, damn, if he isn't another man we should find a place for in the cast! ;~}
Jenny is pretty but I don't know much about her.
Not sure about Ben either but I want to see that movie now. LOL
Considering we don't really have much on descriptions for the nine Id say we must absolutely use Meyers for one of Barrons men. I've seen him do angry mean bastard and its scary good.
Sammy wrote: "Does anyone remember what Ryoden is suppose to look like?"Wasn't he more scruffy with a beard?
I think the only description we get for Ry is when Mac goes to Chester's and sees Ryodan in the glass office and he is watching Dani speed around the hidden room trying to escape couple of his men. I'm pretty sure even then shes very vague on the description. I will have to look it up again. As usual. :~P
I love JRM but I think he is too small for JZB.
This clip is more the Aidan Turner I was thinking of--from Being Human.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Got6Mp...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8iJqc...
Mmmmm Isn't he also Meyers best friend on Tudors? He is very worthy. We should just keep him up and fresh in our minds for when we do our re-read. ;~) We'll find a special place for him.
Henry would have to keep his close-trimmed beard in order to look old enough. They would also have to darken his hair. But he is definitely yummy!
Ooh, Viggo could be one of the Nine. Very rough and strong yet good looking. This thread is getting hot.
Viggo could be Ryoden but he is too old to be Barrons.
They need to make Henry look older though. He has a tendency to have a babyface but I've seen him look rougher too.
And darker. Barrons is all shadows and dark eyes, so he'd have to dye his hair and maybe bronze up his skin some...
IMO I don't like Eric Etebari for Barrons, something about him just doesn't sit right with me. My choice is the model David Gandy. I don't know if he can act to save his life but he is the ultimate Barrons to me! Here are a few pics...
Sammy wrote: "He's totally hot, BUT I read somewhere that he doesn't want to go into acting. Too bad, huh."That totally sucks because he would make the PERFECT Barrons, IMHO of course!
What about Christian Kane for anyone? I think Ive been in love with him since he was on Angel. LOL[image error]
I know, thats my problem! I think there are too many guys we want to place and only a few spots for them. We are really behind on the girls casting though. (They're just not as fun to look at sometimes.)

So far, there are two men I think might play Barron's role well. The first is Jason Behr, and the second is Steven Strait.

Steven Strait
