Though I liked Deutch as Rose and thought that she had knack for great delivery on those trademark Rose snarks, after the re-read I was thinking of someone with more Middle Eastern traits. What I really love about Alia as Rose is that she depicts both aspects of Rose’s parents, where she has Middle Eastern characteristics while representing Janine Hathaway’s freckles and curls. I think she brings a lot of charm to the table as well, and she’s definitely proven that her comedic timing is on point.

I am sure Danila is a very nice man. He seems like a very nice man. But I already am very much NOT a fan of Dimitri in general, and I feel like Kozlovsky looks too old for Dimitri’s 24-year-old age. If I’m going to feel somewhat sympathetic to the gross relationship that is Dimitri and Rose, then Jared Padalecki during his mid-season era of “Supernatural” (again, these random bits of content that I was too young for in middle school have made me who am today, for better or for worse) is going to be the thing that makes me think, “Hmm. I could see how this could happen. But I still don’t like it.” I think Padalecki brings the height and the five o’clock shadowness, and with a little bit of black hair dye, man could be speaking in a Russian accent and make me contemplate risking it all.

I actually thought Lucy Fry was a great choice, and I did remember her from “Mako Mermaids,” but this is just a dream cast. Florence has the eyes, the hair, the regality, the accent, the poise, the goofiness… What doesn’t she have? I could totally see her as a member of the Court, and I think she’d play growing royalty well. Her charm and charisma matches that of Lissa, and I think she’d capture the all of Spirit’s consequences well. But I really did think that Lucy Fry did a great job!

I know there are some pretty widely-accepted depictions of Adrian in lieu of his presence in the movie, but I always jump back to the wit and flirtatiousness of “Boy Meets World-” era Rider Strong. I love the stylishly messy hair, and I really think he’d do an excellent job of bringing Spirit’s charisma一and pitfalls一 to life. In most of the fan-casts I see, he looks well into his late-20’s to mid-30’s, and I cannot stand by and watch one of the best characters in the whole series look like someone who could be like my uncle. (hee hee)

Both physically and socially, Rider would perfectly portray so much of Adrian’s likeness, and I think people get carried away with the whole “vampire romance novel” book cover man, where he looks like he could literally be a substitute teacher that all my classmates would whisper excitedly about until he reveals that he actually met his fiancee of two months at his youth group in high school and that they’ve planned the wedding for next week. Rider actually looks 21, and he is charming while also seeming complex.

I kind of liked Dominic Sherwood as Christian, but I thought he was super intense all the time and it made me uncomfortable. I’ve been rewatching “Lost,” and I would like to throw “Lost-” era Ian Somerhalder into the mix. This magnetic force of a man should be on every list. Dip his hair in some box dye and you’ve got an excellent Christian who isn’t super intense and actually comes across as compassionate. Also, I highly recommend “Lost,” and Boone is one of my faves.

I thought Sami Gayle was actually perfect, and I almost didn’t do a fan-cast for her. I looked up different lists of popular actresses from different decades, and I happened to see AnnaSophia Robb, so I kind of just threw her in there for fun. I have only seen her in a couple things, though I had a pretty neutral opinion of her for most of my life as “Race to Witch Mountain” gave me nightmares. I’m just throwing her name in the mix, as she has a pretty babyface and the same characteristics as Mia, but I think Sami Gayle hit the nail on the head.

I have the same issue with Sydney as I do with Adrian where people will choose the most early 2000’s side-bangs Selena Gomez bleach blonde bob-wearing Mormon-looking girl and slap Sydney’s name under it. I know that for most of her appearances, Sydney is pretty conservative and judgy, but don’t do my girl like that PLEASE.

She is likeable in an uptight kind of way, and she needs someone that can play recluse while also seeming dynamic and determined. Kirsten has played someone with intensity before, but she’s also acted as a character that is emotionally guarded. Sydney is nothing if not unwilling to share her emotions, and yet people find themselves gravitating towards her. Dunst is charismatic, but she is excellent at appearing ambitious, and God help me, she does not have side-bangs.

I remember in the dredges of sixth grade, this man was my only vision of Eddie, and no one else has ever taken his place. Among the tragically niche interests my sisters and I harbored during our childhoods (“Vampire Academy” being one of those for me), the “Cinderella Story” with Lucy Hale has to be one of the most prominent. I can recite the script word. For. Word. If you know me in my personal life, feel free to request this and hold me to my promise, for I do not doubt myself in the slightest. Freddie Stroma happened to be one of the loves of my young life, and the song “Knockin'” from the “Cinderella Story” soundtrack holds up to this day as grade-A, certified, validated, innovative, scrumdidiliumptious bangerooni. Someday, there will likely be a post on that movie, but I have to move on.

Freddie Stroma has the gentle voice, the muscle, the sandy blond hair. When I say I wish Freddie Stroma should be Eddie, let it be known that I mean what he looks like in “Cinderella Story,” not “Pitch Perfect” (a good look, but not the one we need right now). He is perfect, and no one can convince me otherwise.
