This segment is going to be Raith-centric. Yay Pretty people!
Lara Raith
Lara Raith (and any of the Raith's in general, really) Are supposed to be sex on a stick, right? Initially, I thought, Oh, of course, Angelina Jolie. But then I thought, sure she'd be great ... if this was the Billy Bob days. I wanted to be a little more original. So then I thought of the second least original choice. *sheepish grin* Kate Beckinsale. She already has vampire experience from the Underworld movies and if you ask the Hublet he will say she is the perfect woman. After myself, of course. (HAH) She looks fantastic with that blue-black hair and she's a strong enough actress, figuratively and literally, to pull off a very physical role. Lara is a sex vampire but she also kicks serious ass, and KB has the fight scene practice in from both Underworld and Van Helsing. |
My next choice for Lara is Berenice Marlowe. If you saw Skyfall you've noticed her. Or was it just me? *fans self* Every Bond Girl is going to be beautiful, of course. But Berenice stands out. She's exotic and sultry and the female human equivalent of a luxury sports car that Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond would actually agree on. |
Thomas Raith
Let me rephrase. Finding someone perfect for Thomas is difficult. I mean, even the way Harry describes him makes him sound like the perfect male specimen in every way. And he's talking about his own brother! So this has to be a great casting choice.
I initially thought of Ben Barnes. He's certainly pretty enough. Long dark hair, pretty face. But to be honest, he doesn't bring "Sex Vampire" to the table. I'm sure there's people that want to make sweet, sweet love by the fire with him, but Thomas is the guy that walks into a room and panties not only drop, but also cause tiny forest fires wherever they land. You go to Ben Barnes when you want to have a picnic in a spring meadow while a beautiful, romantic lead reads you poetry with a very proper British accent. |
Then, I thought: Orlando Bloom. Again, he's just so lovely! Swoon-worthy, even. Dark hair, curling just perfectly. Intense eyes. He has that certain "cool guy" factor. I bet he listens to music I've never even heard of. Plus, I mean have you seen him in Lord of the Rings or in Pirates of the Caribbean? [If you haven't, you are most likely an alien invader spy, trying to infiltrate and learn human culture. To which I say, "Welcome! We are not all bad. Please don't kill us all!"] He's very swashbuckly and can kick some serious ass. Or at least he can make it look convincing in a movie. But again ... have we ever seen him in anything extra sexy? Charming, yes. Romantic, yes. But how about some dirty fuckery? Anyone who's going to play Thomas is going to have to look like he can deliver. Just sayin. |
If he has a squeaky voice or talks through his nose, I'm going to be so disappointed. Please, nobody burst my bubble if he talks like David Beckham!
Justine
Both of my choices are cast members of Pretty Little Liars. Such a guilty pleasure, that show. First, Ashley Benson. She can pull off the party girl we're initially introduced easily. But I think she has the chops to give us all the aspects of Justine from there on. She's certainly run the gamut on PLL. |
I honestly think that either of the two actresses could pull it off and both bring an even number of pros and cons.
[Hannah and Aria are constantly duking it out in my brain for favorite Liar, too.]
