As part of the launch tour for my new book, FIRE AND CINDER (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum 6), the lovely folks at Jazzy Book Reviews have asked me to share my dream cast for my magicorum series.
So without further ado, here goes!
Bryar Rose, a modern sleeping beauty
In terms of looks, I think a teenage Paris Hilton would be great for this role. In fact, my inspiration board for this character includes a few pics of Paris. In terms of acting chops, I’d like to graft some of Awkwafina’s personality in there. Bryar Rose has sass!
Knox, her werewolf boyfriend
This time, I don’t need to break out looks and personality. Please, let there be a time machine where I could bring back a young Marlon Brando to play Knox! Marlon could just as easily punch an enemy in the nose as kiss your face off. Love!
Elle, a modern Cinderella
Wow, this one is tough! You’d need a mash-up of the looks of Chloe Grace Moretz… the toughness of Sigourney Weaver in the first Alien movie… and the sharp wit that makes Tina Fey everyone’s favorite. How hard can that be to find?
Alec, a modern prince charming
A teenage Brad Pitt, no question about it. Cute, funny, sexy as hell. Le sigh!
Agatha, an evil stepsister
Julia Louis Dreyfus before Seinfeld could pull this off. She’s strong-willed, funny and open about having faults.
Jacoby, an elf prince
Gah! Another tough one! I have to go with a teenage Robert Downey Junior. He is handsome and funny, sure. But he also can also show real pain and inner anguish. Jacoby hasn’t had an easy life!
So there you have it… my dream cast for Magicorum! Now where did I put that time machine?
