I agree that Matthew McConaughey has too much twinkle in his eye. He's more suited to the daemons. And I think Jim Caviezel is more suited to one of the evil witches or vampires. There's something about his mouth that makes him look sly like a fox.

pretty eyes, but I still feel they're sly. Sorry Jim.
So far like the suggestions of: Henry Cavill or Richard Armitage. I love ALex O'Loughlin, but he's probably busy with Hawaii Five-O and rehab. Besides, he's played a vampire on TV before - anyone remember Moonlight??

Gilles Marini, Gilles Marini, Gilles Marini!!!!Hot as hell, actually French, correct age...he's perfect.
No complaint with Gilles Marini....so good in Brothers snd Sisters.....but have only seen him in that role....Richard Armitage in Robin Hood, Monet, Mi-5...the BEST!
I pictured Christian Bale the whole time I was reading the book. Matthew McConneghy would be a better Marcus. I think he was described as having a surfer look. I would love to see Natalie Portman as Diana, Charlize Theron as Ysabeau, Julianne Moore as Sarah, and Stockard Channing as Em.
I don't picture the chemistry between Julianne Moore and Stockard Channing, but I think the latter is a brilliant idea. I'm not as enthusiastic about Christian Bale. I still think Matthew should be a daemon. The right character for him may show up in the next book. Charlize Theron I think is too old to be Ysabeau. She's described as looking younger than Matthew, obviously younger when she was made a vampire. I'm reading the book (again) right now, and I'm picturing Vanessa Paradis as Ysabeau. She's also got the tiny build that Ysabeau is supposed to have.Natalie Portman works for me, though she doesn't set me on fire like the idea of Stockard Channing does. I keep picturing Diane Lane, though I think she's too old for the part.
Definitely Richard Armitage...he has the eyes, the simmer, the body. Yep.
The 2nd book of the trilogy will be released in 5 days (July 10th) and is called Shadow of Night. Are you planning on reading it?

F*ck yeah!
yes, I've already pre-ordered
Have you heard anything about it yet or do you have any thoughts on what might happen in the book?
I've not heard a thing, except for what's on the last page of the first book . . . and I can't wait to 'meet' Shakespeare and Marlowe!

Oh, and the title is 'Shadow of Night.' No "the."

Thanks for telling me. I went back and took "the" out of the title.Hadn't noticed that I had put it in.
You can get a extended first chapter of Shadows through ibooks as a preview.Benedict Cumberbatch is the guy I have always imagined as Matthew, Diana I have pictured as Jessica Biel. Purely because of her physicality.

I just finished re-reading Discovery, and it occurs to me we'll have plenty of opportunity to find 'homes' for our favorite actors. Because Matthew & Diana are going back in time, we'll likely have the opportunity to meet Philippe, Matthew's father. And we might get to know Baldwin a little better. AND, Matthew has two other brothers we've not met. And then there is Miriam's husband who was Matthew's best friend until WWII.
I lOVE the idea of Benedict Cumberbatch in some role. I agree that he's not burly enough to be Matthew, but there's got to be a role for him. Maybe he could be Kit Marlowe!
He's my choice....and quite a few others....
I wasn't familiar with most of the suggestions to play Matthew but looked some of them up and can definitely see them as possibilities. Jonathan Rhys Myers definitely comes to mind for me. If you've seen him play King Henry VIII in The Tudors series you know he has the brooding, quick-switch mood change thing going. You can also see his natural command of power and leadership in that role. And he was downright scary at times. And he's the right age.
he's good too ..loved him in The Tudors..but still Richard Armitage for me...
Benedict Cumberbatch has always been "Matthew" to me. Although Tom Hardy would do nicely.
I always picture Goran Visnjic (ER) when I read and envision Matthew. :)
...who bought the new book? I did and so far I like it :)

I downloaded it last night and was up until 4 reading it...boy am I feeling that "great idea".
Pre-ordered the book and it should be shipped out today.
I got lucky and got to be the first one to check it out from my library.
Erin wrote: "I got lucky and got to be the first one to check it out from my library."Very awesome!! I am too impatient to check new books out. Lol
Jessica wrote: "Erin wrote: "I got lucky and got to be the first one to check it out from my library."Very awesome!! I am too impatient to check new books out. Lol"
I don't like to pay the full price for the hardcover! I buy when they come out in paperback.

I completely understand that! I typically buy from stores like Target or Walmart. They put them slightly more on sale than stores like Barnes and Noble. But they still are a little too expensive for my blood.

Yes, I discovered this when I bought
Fifty Shades of Grey with a coupon at Barnes and Noble, only to discover it was cheaper at Target without a coupon.
You are all more patient than me ... It will be close to a year before SON come out in paperback. I preordered the kindle edition and it was on my kindle when got up this morning
Donna wrote: "You are all more patient than me ... It will be close to a year before SON come out in paperback. I preordered the kindle edition and it was on my kindle when got up this morning"Haha! Aren't E-readers great in that regard?! I got out of work at midnight last night and was downloading it when I got home. Glad to see I wasn't the only one! I didn't pre-order it though. I bought Discovery before I had my Noook and was on the fence on if I wanted the Hardback of SON. (Bc I am nerd like that. I wanted to match) But once I saw Deborah tweet about it my mind was made up and I couldn't wait any longer. So I downloaded it and put my other books on hold.
How are you liking it so far?
Susana wrote: "Would also say Michael Fassbender. Or maybe Hugh Jackman or even Eric Bana..."When I read your Eric Bana suggestion it hit me - Yes! that was who I was picturing. His face when he was in The Other Boleyn Girl.
