  • WHY DO ANITA SLEEP WIT6 GUYS?(PLUS A LIL EXTRA?

  • Jensen Ackles is perfect for Jason (I am a die hard fan as you can tell)!<3 And most of your choices were pretty dead-on. Except of course for Jean Claude, which was already discussed haha. Well done though!

  • Great job! Will check out your newer one too. The only one I couldn't quite see was Edward... Neal McDonough is just a wee bit too pouty to embody the Edward I see in my mind's eye. Not a criticism, just my personal feeling. Otherwise I really resonated with your vision... You get my vote for casting director!

  • Gabriel Aubry would be a perfect Asher

  • I just hope that a movie is made and it goes with the book so many awesome books are ruined by the screen 

  • This is a really great video! Your choices are all really good. The only think I don't agree 100% with is the choice of Lucy Lawless for Claudia. I always imagined her of more like a young Sigourney Weaver. But even considering, you did a great job ^_^

  • Steward Townsend isn't attractive enough to be Jean Claude

  • @anindiekid I agree, Anindie. Let me know what you think about the guy in my newer video. I think he's pretty but of course it's hard to find anyone to match the magnificience of Jean Claude. Thanks for watching!

  • @anindiekid I agree, Anindie. Let me know what you think about the guy in my newer video. I think he's pretty but of course it's hard to find anyone to match the magnificence of Jean Claude. Thanks for watching!

  • I have looked at a lot of pictures of who ppl think the characters should be and I usually disagree but this was excellent!!!

  • so I'm not the only one who saw Nikolas as Dakota Fanning. I've hated her ever since I read Guilty Pleasures! Movies of this series would certaintly be interesting... It would be like a very long porno... I would still see it though...

  • PERFECT.

  • *tear* you forgot the lions and tigers (and bears oh my...couldn't resist)

    also for Jean-Claude you should check out Emmanuel Moire in Mon Essential. how much more smexy would Jean-Claude be if he sung in french?!

  • @AnitaHaven search youtube for le roi soleil mon essentiel

  • Wow... That would be a VERY expencive franchise. But, I would pay out the nose to see it.

  • Some brilliant choices! Well done!

  • Very nice. So sad that the movie's not happening...

  • You casted this perfectly. ALL the charaters are almost exactly as i pictured them when I read. GREAT JOB!!!!!!! I hope central casting uses your vid to cast for a movie

  • Comment removed

  • Dang, if you had added Alex O'Loughlin somewhere all my favorite vampires would have been in this movie. Of course Ian Somerhalder could play all the parts and I would be happy. lol Good job on the list.

  • Perfect, absolutely perfect casting.

  • I love what you did for the casting!! Awesome choices! But you forgot Jason!! I had alot of fun seeing who you picked tho!

  • The Rock as Dolph? Are you serious? 1 hes not big enough. Not anymore anyway. Also he doesn't have that presence that Dolph has. Hell if you want to pick a pro wrestler just because hes described to be built like one go for Big Show or Undertaker. When Taker cut his hair put a suit on him and bam! Dolph.

    However bullseye on Edward and Raina. Famka is how I see her when I read the books LOL

  • Stuart Townsend botched Lestat so badly I would never let him play another vampire. And definitely NOT my Jean-Claude. Hell, what human COULD play him? But really, most of the others are quite perfect.

  • Actually, Laurell K. Hamiltion was in talks with IFC to produce a series of Anita Blake movies, however she changed her mind and the idea was scrapped.

  • @2214diva Yes, I know that. What does that have to do with my video???

  • @2214diva there still doing a movie for anita blake? its gonna be so awesome

  • @2214diva OMG! I'M DYING FOR LAURELL TO MAKE UP HER MIND. I WANT TO C THIS SO BAD.

  • the lestat actor would be good as asher. well i think anyways just by the way he acts he reminds me of asher

  • Jean Claude is a good pic, but actually I think maybe the person who played dracula in Van Helsing?

  • My favorites are Damian and Willie^^

    Did I missed Larry you slideshow?

  • i <3 micha 

  • Love your casting and agree whit insanehumanhippo ...I just like to know what are they waiting to make the ANITA BLAKE movies.

    Fans will wait in line..... And we are a great number, money will flow....... Wake up and put Anita Blake on the big screen

  • @PandorasTruth Laurell is refusing to sell out, unlike the crap that Stephanie Meyer created and the sheer ridiculousness of True Blood. And am I the only one who noticed that Sookie gets more and more like Anita with every book? But I'm really, REALLY happy that there will NOT be an Anita movie. Laurell's way too good for that.

  • @Anbaznorom11 Ohh !! I soooooooooooooo agree with you. What's that all about Sookie ?? I guess we have a new word apparently now characters can get BLAKE-ISH....But I doubt that any blake-ish can get under my skin. What can I say?? BROWNIE POINTS ME !!

  • Comment removed

  • I still think that if they were to make a movie, anita (and others) should be played by someone generally unknown. Just adding my 5 cents. ^_^

  • All accept maybe a few, anyway.

  • I am an incredible fan of the series. To be honest, I think the casting is way off. But good try.

  • love the Nathaniel!

  • Angelina Jolie would make a great Raina

  • Great job! Although I was hoping for Jean Claude to look better than Townsend.

  • Amazing job on character choices!

  • I like the actress you picked for Anita but did you forget that Anita is a CURVEY woman? Which means she'll probably have a LITTLE weight to her? LoL But I dig the tough girl biker chick appeal! ;)

  • I really love this.

  • BRILLIANT CHOICES! I definitely cheered for Wicked and the twins! lol! awesome!

  • could you post the name of the song and the artist

    

  • could you name the song and artist of the music plz

  • There's one I would change. Jean Claude would be played by Roy Dupuis (who's french canadian)

  • stuart townsend >:D feck yes!!! to bad he's british and not french though :< faked accents tend to blow. ;-;

  • oh and i dont think "Spike" would be good for Zane...to me he will always be Spike sorry...

  • I agree with most of your choses but like with twilight i think most of the parts would be better with someone a little less known..but good job regardless!!!

  • i absolutely loved all your choices especially richard and jean claude. the best ive seen. they should definitely make a movie out of these or at least a tv series im sure lots of people would watch it.

  • Edward should be younger I think.

  • i like all of them except your jean claude...of course i have my perfect vision of him picked out...but the rest look great

  • just perfect!

  • OMG MICAH is too perfect to be true!!! So beautiful! exactly the way Hamilton described! nice job!

  • Edward I like.

  • incredible job with these picks. some are so ridiculously spot-on it kills!

  • Beautiful cast. Some of them I had not thought of

  • Monica Bellucci is PERFECT for Belle Morte! Gaston Willig plays Damian... Grrroar!!! *Droll!* Sebastian Large for Asher us also excellent!

    Ian Somerhalder as Micah... yummy!

    All in all, GREAT IDEA for Anita Blake movie characters! Like the previous post, you really should give your idea to the movie company! It's great!

  • Gah! Damien's hot too! In fact they all ARE! *slaps forehead...really hard* Of course they're all hot! This the catsing call for a movie based on the awesomeness that is the MRS. HAMILTON'S genius!

  • Gah! Bartek is perfect! I don't even know who he is, where he's from, or even which side of the tree he swings but he is GORGEOUS! Such a Nathaniel-look alike I'm wondering about Hamilton's inspiration for the awesome character.

  • See, right?? I'm not the only one who thought Steve Buscemi as Willie McCoy. Only problem is he's an old guy now. :( We'll need a time machine to cast him in this movie.

  • ohh i love Karl Urban! Dakota Fanning fits, she scares me. lol but i love your choices!!

  • OMG....these picks are perfect...u should consider forwarding them to the casting directors for the movie

  • Wow, thanks!

  • Perfect characters! Super!

  • Thanks a lot!

  • OMG!!! Where did you find all these people?! I totally see all of them perfectly! I'm not sure about Dolph though, I pictured him bigger then Dwayne. FANTASTIC JOB WITH MICAH AND NATHANIEL!! AND STUART TOWNSEND IS EXACTLY WHO I WOULD HAVE PICKED FOR JEAN CLAUDE!

  • You did an awesome job picking the people to play these characters. I definitely hope that someone is paying attention to you when they actually do the casting!!!!

  • Thanks!

  • @klmixon I LOVE THE PICK FOR ANITA. SHE IS SEXY AS HELL & WAS AWESOME IN SKINWALKERS. I ACTUALLY LIKED THE PICKS U HAD FOR THE GUYS BUT NOT SO MUCH FOR JEAN CLAUDE. HE HAS TO BE THIS AMAZING GOD LOOKING HOT GUY. NO OFFENSE TO STUART HIS HOT IN HIS OWN RIGH, LOL. BUT NOT FOR JEAN CLAUDE.

  • loved ur choices....hope to see more vids frm you

  • asher did not get killed...no way...god forbid...lol..as my name here is derived from Laurell's character...i just finished the book...Flirt...great as usual...kinda short but great none the less...Edward is not in it at all...waiting now for her new Meridith Gentry book...which is great also

  • Teehehee loving your name :D

    Can't wait for the film! BTW good song I actually feel quite relaxed lol what's it called?

  • Well done :) You really made some great chioces !!

  • i like your choice for jean claude.

  • @Morton.  If your talking about Skin Trade. No he dosent...Asher is even a part of the book.

  • you did a great job! Asher, Micah, and Raina are wonderful!i think Jean Claude is prettier than that guy! hard to put the beauty into the flesh but GREAT job :)

  • has anyone heard about the new book asher gets killed by edward thats what i heard.

  • @mortonraythomas

    what ?!?! in flirt thats coming next month?!

  • cool ! :)

  • what about micha?

  • i loved alot of your choices for the "cast"....the guy you choice for nathaniel--perfect. Also, richard-belle morte-jason-asher....i could go on and on. There was only a few that i couldnt picture.....wicked and truth i visualized different but that's just in my head and jean-claude......i love stuart townsend (LOVED him in QOTD)......but i just dont see him as our Jean-Claude....awesome job though i loved it.

  • i like it a lot ! good job one sugestion is a model called ejjan he could be great for micah :D !!!

  • what is this song?

    thx

  • what is the name of the film that show natassia malthe!!??? thank

  • Some of the pictures that I have chosen with Natassia are from Skinwalkers and the others are from BloodRayne2.

  • I like the conception, but Dolph... well; he has two adult sons, so I think he is an older man.

    Monica as Belle Morte was the best. :)

  • Thanks. I'm actually trying to upload another video with a different Dolph & Jean Claude, but youtube is giving me issues at the moment.

  • I'm just wondering if you read the books to pick these people. Only one close is maybe Nathaniel.

  • @squirrelgirl1018 I guess you didn't read my info which clearly says that if you have something negative to say, post it on your own video! Obviously, these are the people that I picked based on how I saw the characters in my head. Feel free to put whoever you want in your casting picks when you make a video yourself.

  • have you read the books? he or she did a great job based on the actors they had to work with. id like to see you do better. you cant find a person that exactly fits the characters that is impossible. they are imaginary.

  • I agree. Thanks, Scarlet!

  • when was the movie released or has it not been relased yet. thanks

  • thanks!

  • stephen and gregory? perfect

  • thanks!

  • As did I! Most of the casting would be great in my opinion. I did chuckle when I saw Famke Jansen (I am Dutch to), but I can see it happen.

    Just one point, I don't think that the character Jason got the attention he deserves with just one photo.

  • excellent casting! when does the movie come out?

  • almost the entire thing was perfect!!!

    My only problems were with Edward, Jean-Claude and Dolph. I think Jean-Claude might need to be just a little bit more prettier. As for Edward, I think he needs to have more of a rugged handsome look to him. And Dolph. I always thought of him as a bit older, with a once handsome face. I think Dwayne Johnson might be a bit too young for the part. But besides those 3, that was amazing!!! I hope they turn the books into movies. :]

  • you are just beyond amazing at this... i really hope someone whos involved in the movie sees your video....

  • thanks so much!

  • I MEAN IT... i hv a friend who works for paramount pictures and i told him to look at ur video... so cross our fingers and they get some ideas at who should be in the movie.. IF it becomes a movie....

  • @smothblade88 Thanks for the nice thoughts.

  • Jean claude was just--- ew!!!!!!! thats disgusting i wouldnt want to date that thing. lol anita blake was good, but it almost crosses the beautiful line wheras she says shes pretty

  • Some excellent choices. I'm not really seeing Anita though, Jean Claude and Richard were spot on. If the producers do it right, and take some of your recommendations -- could be fabulous.

  • thanks

  • No offense but I think the one you chose for Micah is more suited to be Gabriel, I dunno it's in the eyes, that guys' eyes make me think GABRIEL in big capital letters, but anyways your other choices were spot on mate, great job

  • i think that this micah is more pretty than in teh book

  • some very excellent choices. jensen ackles is a perfect jason. i had never considered lucy lawless as claudia but strongly agree there. devon aoki is so meng die, badass. Nicols could probably play dominga salvador pretty well. if she could be scary enough. jason berh, a great choice for richard. good job!

  • I love everyone you picked, The rock was kinda of to me though because i always pictured how big and white. I think the guy who played the thing in the movie fantastic four would be pretty good. And as for Jean claude I liked the guy you chose but I dont think anyone could ever really play Jean claude. The guy from unfaithful who the main character had the affair he might be a good Jean claude 2

  • I forgot about Michael Chiklis (the Thing). He'd make a great Lt. Dolph!  If I take the time to do another video, maybe I'll recast him.

    Thanks for the compliment!

  • I LOVE YO' BELLE >:D

    she's hot(:

  • LOL. I thought she was a great pick too!

  • I love your idea for Edward! Just with dark hair:) And Dolph I like too, just how I pictured him:) Its going to be hard to find an Anita, And Edward, and A Richard how we all see them. But Love the ideas!

  • Thanks so much!

  • not a good dolpf or edward... but the rest i agree

  • thanks!

  • i cannot find a great pic from jean claude...can anybody helps me?

  • but dakota fanning can play an excellant nicalaos! xD

  • i am not so sure about the guy who is going to play Jean Claude. he looks to scrawny to play the part. Jean Claude is supposed to be really tall and buff. not too buff but he has broad shoulders. im just not too sure. but he looks like he can pass on weraing lacy stuff like him.

  • is it true tha an anita blake television series is going to be made after trublood??? i have heard a lot about the idea, but have no clue if it is true or not...

  • This is probably the 8th fancast list I've seen for an Anita Blake movie and I have to admit it's not bad. Ironically three of your choices seem to be the most popular in other lists; Stuart Townsend as Jean Claude, Dakota Fanning as Nikolas, and Steve Busceme as Wally. I like your choice for Anita, she's hot. However, I did notice one little hiccup. The first movie would obviously be "Guilty Pleasures" , but you forgot to cast Phillip. How about Robert Pattinson? Still, I like this cast.

  • Thanks! Dang, I forgot about Phillip. I need to re-read "Guilty Pleasures" so I can see him in my mind and then pick someone for him. If I take the time to make another video, I'll have to remember to cast him in it. Thanks though.

  • You should check-out the graphic novel adaptation. Maybe an artist's perspective will help you picture your actors better. Movie people use comics for storyboards so why not? It's just a suggestion but I hope it helps.

  • Umm, these are the people that I chose based on how I saw them in my head when I read the book. When you make your video, feel free to use the graphic novel.

  • Like I said it's just a suggestion and even if I had the software to make my own video I wouldn't bother. I liked yours. Please understand I wasn't trying to criticize. Just trying to help.

  • I liked all of your line up except for to. The first one is Lt. Dolph Storr, I dont know, thats just weird. But thats just me. Secondly would be Jean Claude. I love Stewart, he is super hot, but NO ONE can capture the captivating goodness of Jean Claude. That's nothing against you. I probably wouldn't watch an Anita Blake movie, because I just don't think they could get Jean Claude right. That's just my opinion though.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your pick for Nathaniel. Perfect!!!!

  • Yum, I would be happy with your picks. I would love to see this series be made into a show more then a movie though.

  • although i agree with some of your pics, ya gotta remember that Anita is a more voluptuous woman, meaning more in the boobs and bootie department, and Dwayne Johnson is too young for Dolph. And if I can remember right, cuz i'm already reading Skin Trade right now, wasn't Cherry a more on the edge leopard? I just can't picture it with the actress you picked, but other than that, great job.

  • I'm actually thinking about re-casting Michael Chiklis as Lt. Dolph (if I ever take the time to make another video). I think that the girl I picked to play Cherry has the acting chops to pull it off. You can do wonders with makeup and the right outfit, but thanks for commenting.

  • I like and dislike some of your picks, I think that Anita is a pretty good fit, but you should look at Lisa Marcos, I think she would make an awesome Anita Blake

  • I think you might want to look at the movie blood rayne coz what you did looks similar to that. Just a thought lol.

  • The girl I picked as Anita is the girl from the 2nd Blood Rayne.

  • jean-claude HAS to be sexier tan that.

    richard, anita, nathiel and damien perfect.

    bella perecto lovely asher.

    nice one for nikolse, but shes in the new twilight movei - jane

  • Check out Nir Lavi on google images. If I make another video, HE is DEFINITELY who I'd recast as Jean-Claude.

  • I really don't agree with a lot of your picks I wouldn't cast it the same way as you but you put a lot of time and thought into this so thanks for taking the time to share it with everyone .. I haven't really liked the last several Anita books it's just all sex sex sex and no story to go with it ...... my fave book was obsidian butterfly whats your fav book from the series ?

  • obsidian butterfly is my second fav. circus of the damned being the first.

    and i agree with you to a point. i mean yes, there is a LOT of sex, but theres also a crap load of power/magic stuff going on. she seems to be gaining all this power and has not had anything to use it on. for like the past 5 or so books.

    the story line has gone down the crapper. but i will continue reading. have you tried the meredith gentry series?

  • Skin Trade is actually one of her best Anita books in a while (IMO). I loved it. There's a lot of action, a little sex, and more character development of Anita. Read it, I think you'll like it.

  • i loooooove the choice you made for anita... she actually looks the part...

  • Anita looks a little too asian and not enough hispanic. I pictured Jean Claude like Antonio Benderes. nathaniel is not what I pictured. richard could be micah. I like the micah you picked too. Belle Morte looks perfect. I pictured Byron a little broader. good pick for Raina. LOVE jason. sylvie could be anita with curlier hair. claudia should be more muscled. Ronnie and Bert= perfect. the rock is a little young. Dominga is awesome.

  • Thanks for the constructive criticism. I look forward to seeing your video!

  • Gaspard Ulliel would be great Jean-Claude, but also would Nir Lavi :) I can't imagine anyone else as him except maybe one of these two... and Kate Beckinsale could be Anita... Anyway, the choice for other characters is great :)))

  • I just looked up Nir Lavi online (never heard of him), but dang, he is yummy! I'll have to think about him if I do another video! He'd make a pretty Jean-Claude. LOL

  • I completely agree :)) One of the most beautiful men I've ever seen, I like him a lot :D

  • Hey I made a new video casting Nir Lavi as Jean-Claude. Check him out and thanks so much for the wonderful suggestion!

  • I'm cool with alot of your picks.... it was very interesting. However, I think your pick for Richard should be Micah... that's exactly who I thought of when I saw the picture. Also, Dwayne Johnson would be too young to be Dolph. But I freaking LOVED Dakota Fanning!

  • Spot on, chief. Great job. I'm always worried a movie would ruin the images I have of the characters, but this is pretty much exactly what I always pictured. When (yes, when, they are making one) they make this, these better be the actors

  • thanks!

  • Hmm..I guess that chick could be Anita Blake.

    I think the only guy who is close to looking like Jean Claude...is that Don Henrie vampire dude from Vegas. lol. I cant think of anyone else.

  • i see so many people pick that dude for jean-claude, but he just doesn't do it for me

    i don't think he's beautiful enough

    what do you think of gaspard ulliel?

    i don't like nathaniel, asher, requiem, wicked, micah or jason

    damien is really sexy and everyone else is greattt!

    i wonder who they're going to choose as their real cast...does anyone know when they're going to let us know?

  • Lmao Dakota Fanning as Nikolaos

  • read naricusses in chain antia just had sex with michah. so good

  • Keep reading. They get better and better! LOL

  • NICE choice for Willie. lol. If only the series didnt go down the crap tubes. Aw well. I have Jeaniene Frost now

  • I would have to say that I agree almost 100% with you. Wonderful choices my dear.

  • Thanks a lot. I have an updated version that I am having a time uploading. Will post the changes as soon as I can figure out what I'm doing differently.

  • monica belluci as belle morte purrrrfect! ur choices were great a lot of hard work

  • Thanks!

  • I made sure that I paid close attention to all of your choices. All of them are good choices. You reminded me of the small irony of Anita's triumvirate. Damien and Nathaniel have some version of red hair.

  • I'd say over all you did a great job ^.^

    Some people you hit dead on, like Anita, imo....that actress is not so hugely popular that people would have a difficult time seeing her in that role.

    Edward on the other hand, miss, imo.

    Over all good job!

  • 1 change.

    change anita to Michelle Rodriguez. she would b perfect for tehy role

  • Mila Kunis as Anita would be my choice.

  • ... oO ... I can't imagine any human face for Jean-Claude.

  • I really liked your picks for the casting, personally I have always thought that Jyrki 69 would be the utmost perfect pick for Jean Claude, but that's just me :)
