She's too old and he's already said no. Sorry to burst ure bubble. :/

..."
Has Ben Barnes said no?!! Oh dear, he was just perfect! I mean, I've never seen an acter look like a character from a book, so much like he did! Where did you read it? :(


Yep. He's signed on for another novel/movie adaption called Seventh Son, I think. Besides, he's 33. Dimitri is supposed to be 24. Sophie Bush is about the same. And VA is on hold since they don't have a director, producer or funding just yet.
It has been brought by a studio and is slated to happen but not any time soon. However, the success of Hunger Games might jolt this adaption to life. I think Hollywood is starting to see that it's time to look to the book crowd for good ideas. :P


Oh it's to bad! I would have liked him to play Dimitri. Maybe... there's still a little chance. God, I hope so!

It's a shame Ben Barnes said no; he would've been an amazing Dimitri :(

If it became a TV series, it would probably have alot of changes like Vampire Diaries and True Blood. They'd probably add new characters, plot lines and delete parts of the books completely.
Then again, I really wouldn't mind that. I like what they did in VD with Klaus and the family of originals. I would have liked to have met the first Strigoi in VA. Maybe he/she will turn up in the bloodlines series. :D


even if they are 22 now. They would be older before the filming starts so it would definitely be more than 6 years
In my opinion it's easier to make someone in their 30ies look like mid 20ies than to make someone in mid 20ies look like the are 15 or 16


I think that would be best. I think that in a series that are quite famous you don't have to have only know actors


Neither do I really, but he wouldn't have been a bad choice.

Odette Yutsman as Rose
Ben Barnes as Dimitri (finger crossed- he's like, perfect!)
Laura Ramsay as Lissa
Chase Crawford as Adrian
Tom Sturridge or Gaspard Ulliel as Christian
AnnaSophia Robb as Mia
Zooey Deschanel as Tasha
Alexis Bladel as Natalie
Tara Lynne Barr or Ryan Newman as Jill
Elizabeth Harnois as Sydney
Zac Efron as Mason
and that's all I really know for now. What do you guys think?
I realize some of these people are a little bit older, but most the time they are. I know there have been thirty year olds that play highschoolers. Anyone ever watched Glee? You know how old the actor that plays Finn (who's 18)? He's in his 30's!

avril Lavigne?! seriously?

never heard of Gaspard Ulliel... so looked him up! Looks exactly how I though Christian would look like, icier bluer contacts maybe>
I think Lissa is meant to be quite reserved and shy so I don't think Avril Lavagne is up for that job, sorry.

Is Rita Ora better?
(Who would you suggest?)

Bruce Willis as Dimitri
Tom Cruise as Christian
Angelina Jolie as Rose
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Since everyone is choosing actors/actresses that are about 20 years too old for the parts. :P

And jennifer lopez as Lissa :D

Why not????
The book series is great!

Since the VA series is kinda long,I think that instead of making a movie,a TV series would be better.

Odette Yutsman as Rose
Ben Barnes as Dimitri (finger crossed- he's like, perfect!)
Laura Ramsay as Lissa
Chase Crawford as Adrian

AnnaSophia Robb..."
i google searched the actors/actresses you mentioned and heres' what i think
Odette Yutsman as Rose: No
Ben Barnes as Dimitri: YESSS!!!!!
Laura Ramsay as Lissa: No
Chase Crawford as Adrian: No
Tom Sturridge as Christian: Yes
or Gaspard Ulliel as Christian: No
AnnaSophia Robb as Mia: Yes (i think she would be a good Lissa.)
Zooey Deschanel as Tasha: No (Shes too young in my opinion.)
Alexis Bladel as Natalie: No
Tara Lynne Barr as Jill: No
or Ryan Newman as Jill: Yes
Elizabeth Harnois as Sydney: Yes (i think she would be a good Mia, too.)
Zac Efron as Mason: No (he's too well known,)
But that's Just my opinion.

Hey, everybody has their opinion. No judging here! I'm just happy that you're a VA fan.
But even I don't think all those people would fit their characters. And you're probably right about Zac Efron.
But thanks for you're opinion!

Shelley Hennig for Rose
Ben Barnes as Dimitri
Gaspard Ulliel as Christian"

completely agree, Plus does anyone else think Gaspard is a seriously cool name?
OMG there's going to be a movie? i just finished the first book and i really liked it! Do we know any more details?
i don't care who the actors will be as long as they know what the are doing and they are fitting for the part :)

Odette Yutsman as Rose: I like it but she's just a little too old looking maybe that Lyndsey Fonseca girl?
Anna Sophia Robb: I can see as Lissa
Ben Barnes: would have been perfect for Dimitri but sounds like thats not happening
Gaspard: Christian, that could work
Any more suggestions for Adrian?? Im having a hard time picturing an actor for him..

Odette Yutsman as Rose: I like it but she's just a little too old looking maybe that Lyndsey Fonseca girl?
Anna Sophia..."
Shelly Henning would be a good Rose if she could act tougher

Not so sure about Ben Barnes though.
Gaspard? Yes!! totally agree with that one!
lyndsey fonseca shes okay.

Odette Yutsman as Rose: I like it but she's just a little too old looking maybe that Lyndsey Fonseca gi..."
Agreed.


Very cute with emerald eyes and brown hair that is always styled to appear unkempt, in the sun it shines with golden and chestnut highlights. When it comes to height he is a little shorter than Dimitri but not as lanky as some Moroi look. His height is perhaps somewhere between 6’2 and 6’4 as Dimitri is 6’7.
His description from shadowkissed.com :)
