Question

Your book is a best seller and Hollywood is making it into a movie. You get to decide the cast. Who do you choose to play each of the main characters? Cast at least three of the characters. This must be a book that has not been made into a movie already!
Include both of these points in your response:

· Explain why you choose this particular actor/actress (looks, personality, previous work, special quality, etc.)

· Which scene from the book do you use at the audition to see if the actor/actress is the best fit for the character? Why do you choose this particular scene for the screen test?

Answer 1

there's no direct answer for this i could help you with its more of an opinion. so basically its just asking you to pick three actors and why you pick them. :)

Answer 2

then just choose a scene from a book of your choice

Answer 3

yes, I know but I wanna see someone elses work for this

Answer 4

ok give me a book that hasn had a movie written about it

Answer 5

lemme see

Answer 6

Steve Harvey biography

Answer 7

I guess the obvious choice would be your favorite book or a book you enjoy a lot.
Does anything come to mind?
Once we figure that out, the choice of actors/actresses shouldn't be too hard

Answer 8

How about the maze runner death cure? since the previous actors can be in the 4th movie

Answer 9

I meant The Kill Order
Novel by James Dashner

Answer 10

Oh nice! I've heard that's a good one, but I never checked it out myself.
So, some of the other Maze Runner books have been made into movies, but that one "The Kill Order" hasn't, right? I guess that could still count
Like you mentioned, that also means a lot of the characters would have the same actors. Are there any new characters in that book we'd have to think about?

Answer 11

yes the kill order hasn't been made.

Answer 12

yes there are new charaters

Answer 13

Ok, nice, that'll let you say more than just "These actors will be in the movie because they were in the previous movies" lol
So, which of those characters do you wanna decide on actors for? Like the question mentioned, you can think about they're abilities, other movies they've been in, their looks, and stuff like that

Answer 14

Alec and Mark

Answer 15

are new characters in the book

Answer 16

Right, gotcha.
So, what kind of characters are those? Thinking about what kind of characters they are might help us decide on who might be a good fit to portray them.
How do they behave, and what sort of things do they do in the story?

Answer 17

Mark is a teenage boy who is the protagonist of The Kill Order

Answer 18

Alec is a key character who functions as Mark's partner in their adventures and discoveries in the story.

Answer 19

Trina
Mark's neighbor, friend, and love interest. Trina is a beautiful teenager girl with cropped, short, blond hair. She is kind-hearted and caring, and especially fond and protective of Deedee. She and Mark are very close, and they spend their last moments together.

Answer 20

Mark is also close with Trina, who was his neighbor growing up. He is also very close with Alec, who is like a paternal figure to him. Mark is physically fit, kind-hearted, caring, and fiercely protective of his friends. His friends have become his family after the sun flares killed off everyone else they loved. He had a younger sister named Madison for whom he cared greatly. Mark eventually succumbs to the Flare, but not before helping Deedee escape to safety. Mark shows remarkable bravery throughout the entire story.

Answer 21

Oh, nice, so Mark and Alec have kind of like a hero-sidekick relationship then? If they're good friends in the story, maybe we can consider casting actors who have worked together before, but that's not required.
And it sounds like Trina is also pretty closely related to Mark as well.
So, we want a male actor with experience in a starring role as the hero... a "best friend" character, and a beautiful young actress who is close to Mark's character

Answer 22

yep

Answer 23

Alec was an ex-soldier, and his soldier skills and reflexes come in handy all of the time. He is also Mark's mentor, teaching the younger man all that he knows. Alec was the one who saved Mark and Trina from the subtrans tunnels the day the flares struck, and if it were not for him, the group of friends probably would not have survived. He is very close friends with Lana, with whom he used to work. Alec is heroic and noble.

Answer 24

Well, that's a good start! Unfortunately, I actually don't know that many actors!
How about that kid who played Spider Man in the recent Marvel movies? Would he make a good Mark? I mean, he definitely has "main character" potential, but I guess we should consider their personalities and appearances too

Answer 25

Oh wow it actually sounds like Alec is a little more experienced and maybe older than Mark is, so we could try going for a slightly older actor for that role. Ex-soldier, so someone with a tough look to them...
Again, I don't know a lot of actors, and I'm not very familiar with the story... Is someone like Dwayne Johnson or Vin Diesel kind of close to what that character is? Or is that a little *too* tough or *too* old maybe?

Answer 26

I am thunking

Answer 27

I guess this is about *your* ideal movie, so we should consider how *you* imagine the characters to be most importantly.
I think maybe someone who knows more about pop culture and celebrities could be more helpful, but it seems like you're on the right track!

Answer 28

Alright

Answer 29

Levi Miller as mark
