ღIsabellaღ If The Fallen Star became a movie I think it would be really cool, because with all the YA dystopian and Vampire/warewolf stuff, It would be cool to have a movie that's about a star. It would make things different.

And I think they should chose completely unknown people if it ever does become a movie cause then the actors/actresses can be as original as the charaters:)


Alexa yes!!

Ann Just PLEASE don't put Kristen Stewert in it!!!


Michelle Knox Just read the first book in this series and if it ever were to be made into a movie they would absolutely HAVE to get Gemma and Alex's characters spot on with casting!

Idk if it will make you made but Kristin Stewart can not SMILE and i know Gemma has really no emotions in the being and thats Kristin but I want a girl that will fit Gemma JUST RIGHT AND BE A PERFECT GIRL


message 7: by Ann (new) - rated it 3 stars

Ann Gemma has a lot of emotion throughout the series. She is just discovering them all.

Kristen stewert can be a good actress but in all her movies she naturally stutters and moves her bangs. And again if this was a movie it would be kool/good to get new actors in this.


Christina Ly This is one of the series that I would agree to turning into a movie because the story reads like a movie pretty much. However, I don't see it happening because it's not that popular.


Elizabeth its a shame that the books are not as popular as they should be ! though i think i would be kind of like the hunger games people would only come to recognize the books more if there were a film and i think it would go really well just as long as they do it right. I think i might cry if they ruined it !

oh yes! and you have to read he others asap and lucky for you you dont have to wait for them to come out like i did (because they are all out now) and waiting was like agony !


Natalie This book series would be so amazing as a movie! I hope it happens!


Brittany | BookRamblings I wish the books were more popular cause this would make a great movie!!!! Its not gonna happen but i sooo wish it could. I agree with an earlier comment about Leighton Meester playing Gemma. Dunno about the other characters though :)

Jessy I would love this to be a movie too!!! although i would be afraid that they wouldnt get the detail right/ not somewhat exact or not how i imagined them but still to see the story come to life would be more than amazing! I think that deoending on his hair and angle MATT LANTER does remind me a lot of ALEX and kristen stewart reminds me a lot of Gemma but i still dont think it would be good for her to act in it-- i agree on Leighton Meester though or TALYOR MOMSEN(with black hair of course)
ok, No matter how much I loved LAYLEN, I always had a problem imagining him (kind of like TOM FELTON) but in a more sweeter and gorgeous looking way... almost just almost like WILLIAM MOSELEY or even MATT PROKOP (i guess because of his lips-i always imagined him with huge red lips and a lip ring) with contacts and blonde hair.

anyone agree?


message 15: by Adoitoi (new) - added it

Adoitoi I would love Alex to be Alex Pettyfer (with dyed hair) and Laylen to be Tom Felton. Aislin would be perfect if she was Andrea Bowen. I'm not sure for Gemma but maybe someone like Leighton Meester... I would love the movie <3

AGREE!!!


message 17: by Ellen (new)

Ellen Gregory-evans Warren Kole would be a perfect actor for Nicholas! all the way through the book I was thinking of him as Nicholas. Plus, if you watch a programme called "the following" hes the sheriff in that and I just see it in his character!
This book series made me cry in so many places, it would make the perfect film if it was made properly and included the correct cast.
Also, check out Ashley Rickards for Gemma, she'd be perfect!!!!!
I love being a book worm.

Warren Kole is 35, Nicholas is around Gemma's age :) x


Madeline Totally agree, just NOT have Gemma be portrayed by a bad actress like Kristen Stewart. That would ruin everything. Forever. lol


message 21: by Emily (new)

Emily no kristen stuart!!!! i love this book and they need to put a really cute guy infor alex and make most everything the same as far places what happens and characters and how they look i really wish they would make this a movie


message 22: by Emily (new)

Emily yes to matt lanter defently matt pokop and leighton meester


message 23: by Emily (new)

Emily Jeremy sumpter would be good for alex acually


message 24: by Y. (new) - rated it 5 stars

Y. I think it would be awesome,too. But its also not thrilling when you think about the possibility that this book's image in your head could be ruined if the movie doesn't go right.

message 27: by Emily (new)

message 28: by Ashely (last edited Jul 08, 2013 11:57AM) (new)

Ashely Nicole I would love to see it as a movie here are my picks:

Gemma- Lyndsy Fonseca
Alex- Alex Pettyfer
Aislin- Phoebe Tonkin
Laylen- Michael Rady
Nicholas- Stephen Lunsford


message 29: by Nina (new) - rated it 4 stars

Nina Whyle I like watching Kristen Stewart's performances. I don't think I've yet to see her in a movie I haven't liked: Into the Wild, On the Road, Snow White and the Huntsmen or the Twilight movies. I think she gets a bad rap. But I don't think she's right for Gemma only because she comes with the whole affair-baggage. I also think Gemma is not that dissimilar to Bella Swan. Both Gemma and Bella don't think there is anything exceptional about them (aside from Gemma's eyes) they are both clumsy, they consider themselves ordinary. It's not until later that they discover they actually pretty exceptional.
Right, now I've got that off my chest. My thoughts for Gemma are:
Chloe Moretz, she's the right age and I'd be interested to see what she'd bring to the role and we know she can kick-ass. Or maybe Elle Fanning, she's got a vulnerability to her acting I like.
Saoirse Ronan would be totally awesome for the role too.
As for Alex. I too think Alex Pettyfer. He was good in "Beastly" (although film was rubbish) and he was damn good in "Magic Mike" Loved that film.


Abigail Cortez No no movie it will screw up the characters if they do a horrible job


message 31: by Kaptain (new)

Kaptain Merica I'm so making this into a movie in a few years i have the perfect actors and actresses


Autumn I feel like if this book became a movie we should not pick well known actors. We should pick actors that aren't well known to give the movie more of a hype. Take the hunger games for example, No one knew who Jennifer Lawrence was and she turned out to be a star that everyone looks up to who has a bright future. I think Kirsten Stewert is one of the most terrible choices for the role of Gemma. AND leghtiing Meester is also. They dont reach Gemmas level. Kirsten has little to no emotion yes i do know gemma doesn't but that's only at the begining of the first book she changes and im not sure Kirsten can do that. Matt Lanton is a terrible choice also who wants him? I think the only reason you want him as Alex is because in the book alex is supposed to be amzingly hot and adorable but hes also to himself and i just don't think Matt Lanton is the right pick. Really think about the choices your making cause by the time the movie might come out you could be disapointed. I only have opinion for the characters so far but the will most likely change...

Gemma- Saoirse Ronan
Nicholas- Stephan Lunsford
Alex- Paul Wesley

these are only suggestions thanks :)

no....


Jessica_boribon I REALLY WANT THIS BOOK TO BE A MOVIE!!! i think it would be a great story!!! the only thing is that you would have to make movies for each of the books cause the story Definitely does not end in the ending of the first book!!


for the cast i don't really care who they are going to be just that they can suit the characters perfectly!!!


Hummingbird01 I totally agree with the normal people as the cast but I would love Johnny Deep to play Stephan !!!


Hummingbird01 Emily wrote: "sure zac efron for laylen"
But I think Zac Efron would make a horrible Laylen. Laylen is supposed to be kind, considerate and BLOND!!!!!!!!!!!


message 37: by Emily (new)

Emily True, I wasn't thinking when I put him for laylen.


Dainah Websdale I agree that they should be unfamous actors but paul wesley would be good for Alex or Alex pettyfer but not Matt lanter because he doesnt look arrogant enough.
Lyndsey fonseca and leighton meester as gemma. I also think crystal reed would be good or the girls from beautiful creatures, divergent and the mortal instruments, as long as its not kristern stewart!
I wish they could make it into a film i give it a billion out of 5 stars if that was possible, I love this film!!!


Hummingbird01 It should be not well known actors but I think Alexandra Daddario (She plays Annabeth in Percy Jackson and the lightning thief!) should play Aislin!!!


random name Autumn wrote: "I feel like if this book became a movie we should not pick well known actors. We should pick actors that aren't well known to give the movie more of a hype. Take the hunger games for example, No on..."

I agree with you completely!! What about the Alex's sister? Or Leighton?


Dainah Websdale Yeah cause we need a blondie and she would fit the path. They all need to wear contacts because I was not happy when the girl from beautiful creatures (I forget both the actor and characters name) didnt have green contacts in?! Whats the point?


Dainah Websdale Fit the path? Doesnt even make sense what is going on with me today? She would be good to play Aislin.


random name What... o.o


Hummingbird01 She would bd great to play Aislin. I just wish they sould hurry up and make the movie already !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


random name When is it predicted to come out?


message 46: by Maya (new) - added it

Maya I honestly don't want them to make a movie because I am afraid it will ruin the book the way I see it. :'( so I just try to make it my own movie in my head the way I imagine it and that's good enough for me.


message 47: by Em (new) - rated it 5 stars

Em Lou I would love for this book to become a film, but like everyone else I think that the characters NEED to be casted right. The adult version of fallen star, I think, was a lot better and would be better suited to make into films. That way they have more room to work with plot wise and not just a younger audience to market for. As long as they don't do a repeat of twilight where the main characters were all wrong, for me Kristen Stewart didn't play Bella like the one that we read in the books, AT ALL.

However saying this and looking through the comments I don't think ANY of the actors that people have recommended in this discussion suite any of the characters. All the recommendations for Gemma just look FAR too made up and OTT. I've often wondered who I would cast if it were me and I honestly couldn't put any well known actors as the characters in this book.

The best way to do it would be to cast people that aren't known so much for the roles that they already do and also pick people that look the part as well as act it. I hope that if they eventually make a film from the fallen star, that they cast it properly and not cast characters because of their supposed chemistry (One of the Reasons behind the Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson casting for Twilight. Not sure how when I couldn't see the chemistry myself.... if awkwardness and stammering and twitching is chemistry, then I've got it all wrong!) Obviously actors need chemistry in order to play well as their characters, BUT they shouldn't be picked purely for that reason.

If they really do make the books into films, they should do it right, but then what the author pictured as her characters may be completely different from what everyone else interprets in their own minds.


Ariel Bennett I would watch it everyday until i can say it word for word. I just love this book its so awesome


random name ..........


Sarah Nebeker I would love for their to be a movie about this book because I love this book so much and I would love the movie to and I know that I would!!!! so please make a movie about this book!!!!
