So they did the switcharoo with the Beautiful Creatures male protagonist! It seems like Jack O'Connell had scheduling conflicts that are keeping him from doing this role (big mistake buddy; don't you know where the money is these days?) so the person with the hardest to say and write last name on Earth is playing the role, Alden Ehrenreich. It seems he was on some Supernatural and some CSI episodes, but other than that he is a total mystery. There are 3 things that I am absolutely certain about:
- He doesn't seem right for the role. He seems old, experienced, and I don't think he will be able to capture the strong yet gentle soul that is Ethan Wate.
- Why, oh why did Jack had to go? He seemed a little closer to what I pictured, sure not perfect but at least he was a youngster.
- This movie makes me nervous.
I'm with you on The Host thing...I'm curious to know how they'll do the duel voices.
ReplyDeleteMy Ethan Wate is Logan Lerman.
ReplyDeleteI love The Host so when I first heard about it becoming a movie I was super psyched. Until I just read your post and remembered the format of the book...now I'm wondering same as you, how the heck they'll pull that off. Ought to be interesting. Hopefully they keep to the book!
ReplyDeleteI'm so nervous about The Host movie. I hope they get it right, and that might be really difficult with all that mental dialogue throughout the book.
ReplyDeleteI like that the poster is like the original book cover, but I really liked the cover more:)
