Cassie:Cassie is the main character of the series: A red-headed, fiery teen from a broke family. She is a natural, a teenager recruited to the FBI because she has a natural ability. She is a profiler, she's independent and strong. But wildly empathetic. Who else would I have play her than Emma Stone? She would kill this roll. Emma Stone is one of my favorite actresses and she would totally pull off the character. Not only did her role in The Amazing Spider man 2 solidify this for me (because she managed to be strong and stubborn and an amazing Gwen) but I think that she would add an interesting dimension to the love triangle that runs through the series.
Lia:
Lia is a lie detector. She was one of the first recruits to the Naturals program. I don't' know much about her, she's allusive, defensive and protective Dean. But she's afraid of letting people in, of letting them know who she really is. She changes her outfits every day, not letting anyone see her style but maintains her non-nonchalant, wicked, and sarcastic personality. I would cast Vanessa Marano as Lia. In Switched At Birth she plays Bay, a unruly and rebellious teen. I think that adding her into the mix would be interesting to how Lia was adapted. Would she turn her into more of a softy or add venom to her bite? Who knows, but one thing I do know is that Vanessa would be the perfect choice.
Michael: Michael is the resident bad boy. He reads emotions but with a personality like Lia's no one ever really figures him out. He's got a crush on Cassie and is the first guy in the love triangle. He's got a huge rivalry with Dean and doesn't get along with many of the other naturals. However, I couldn't stop loving him and being torn on who should win Cassie's heart. I would cast Liam Hemsworth as Michael. After watching his amazing rivalry (as Gale) with Peeta in The Hunger Games he would make the perfect Michael. Vindictive, jealous and downright cruel sometimes Michael's a hard man to portray but Hemsworth could pull it off while showing great chemistry with Cassie.
Dean: Dean is the competitor. He wants Cassie and distracts her from Michael even though he doesn't think he can ever be with her. Dean describes being a profiler to Cassie,“Maybe, to do what you and I do, we have to have a little bit of the monster in us.” He truly thinks that he can't be with her because he'll make her a full monster. Dean was the first person recruited into the Naturals program, the son of a serial killer makes a pretty great profiler. It also makes a teen who is so scared of ruining the people around him that he closes himself off. Broken, poisonous and brooding, he's the darkest character there is. But he's so lovable, while you are reading the book you want to fix him, you want to rip him away from his tragic back story and give him a better life. One where he is already with Cassie. That's right, he's the one I rooted for the entire book. Brett Dalton is my one and only choice for this movie that I imagine in my head. The actor who already plays HYDRA Agent Ward from Agents of Shield is the one I think could bring darkness and brooding like it was the easiest thing ever. It would feel natural having him playing Dean and I can see him and Cassie playing out the romance that's almost forbidden while Michael fights his own war for Cassie.
Sloane:
The last of the naturals, Sloane is awkward, alone and hopelessly smart. She's a genius, she knows patterns and statistics like they're common knowledge. She's timid and believes that no one likes her, probably because her family didn't. She's the character I relate with most. Socially awkward girls have to stick together. I would cast Elizabeth Henstridge as Slaone. She is also an actress from Agents of Shield, she plays Gemma, a nerdy, smart and awkward scientist. I think that she would do well as Sloane.
If you were me, who would you cast as these characters?
I really like how you go through each character and there personality type and their significance to the story! It really gives me a good idea of who they are.
