  • So, I completely agree with all but three! Otherwise, amazing choices!!!

    Zerbrowski - Only a small issue. Height. He's supposed to be a lot closer to 5'6".

    Asher - He's supposed to be almost feminine. Not Jean Claude feminine, but your choice was almost Richard level masculinity.

    Micah - I refuse to give up on my petite, beautiful, delicate man!

  • Actually the last book hit list is Anita at 28 or 29. Not 30 yet.

  • Agree with everyone but rhianna.

  • You know I'm not sure this movie will ever be made. It is a pretty dark version of grown-up, empowered womanly sexuality not little girl, fantsy, sparkly diamond vampire sexuality and hollywood hates nothing so much as a grown-ass woman who knows who she is and what she wants, not that Anita isn't conflicted but you know what I mean.

  • @christimalia Agreed. Honestly, i think they should animated it instead. Ive seen too many shit movies lately with crappy effects, bad casting and horrible scripts.

  • Alright... i get heated about Anita.......

  • @blooding77 good fucking grief....

  • Are you f****ing stupid?!?! First off when I get exited I make a lot of mistakes.... but my choices are still firm. Are you challenged?!?!? ANITA IS IN HER F'ING 30'S MAN.... she is no young maiden... I don't think some tea toddling 20 something chubby cheerleader is going to cut it!! And as for me thinking a few of your choices were ok.... take it as a complement that you are not totally incompetent!! Good day.

  • @blooding77 Actually Anita was about 23 when the first book came out. Am i fucking stupid?? Apparently i am because i am trying to have a conversation with someone who isn't right in the head. Am i challenged?? only by crazy people.

  • Man .. thoughs choices where freaking terrible. I felt like I was watching a c movie "Gray's anatomy", spliced with an unhealthy dose of just blahh.. Kate Beckensale absolutly HAS TO BE Anita in my eyes.... and the guy Micheal from "Underworld" would make a yummy Richard.... all buff and tormented.... and Don Henrie (mad mad house) would make a good Jean Claud.... or even another sexy vampire.... PLEASE LAUREL... I WILL WORSHIP YOU MORE TN I ALREADY DO IF YOU COULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!

  • @blooding77 What??? Your reply is incoherent and contradictory. First, from what i can tell, find my choices terrible and then you go on saying how you agree with blah blah blah. I absolutely hate the thought of Kate Beckinsale as Anita. I do not think she is a good actress and she is much too old for the part now ( She is 38. She may look great for her age but she is still too old). if you bothered to look at the video, you would see its been a few years since i made it.

  • @blooding77 ALL of the "casting videos" that 3 years and older are outdated. Im planning to make another one but this will be based on the replies and usable, workable suggestions that i have gotten

  • i like amy lee as anita but i agreee not bloom. and there are some others that would be great

  • mayb unknowns wud b beta t play the parts fresh meats so t speak lol

  • its not just looks it how tall many of the 1s that have been picked r the ppl they r ment t play micah for example is only a couple of inches taller than anita so sum1 who is 6ft isnt that rite person to play his part anita will b the hardest to find shes so unique but i do think that Nir Lavi is just the perfect jean claude his pail skin his eyes his very dark curl long hair yummy is all i can say as for the rest of the cast so many choices but dolph is dwayne johnson

  • Amy Lee as Anita?! ARE YOU ON CRACK?! She's not nearly what Anita is; she's not curvy and petite, she's kinda chubby to be honest. Anita is supposed to be voluptuous, with jet black CURLY hair, fair skin, and nearly black eyes

  • @rachelpoor18 Oh lord! Really!? First, this video was made 3 years ago and i HAVE agreed with some of the other suggestions. Second, Amy lee is approximately 5'3 and so is Anita Blake. Amy Lee is curvy and voluptuous as is Anita. I wonder what your basis for comparison is! Third, Amy lee has black hair and looks good with it. Its very natural looking on her, as it should be with anyone having to be Anita Blake.

  • @rachelpoor18 Fourth, hair can EASILY be curled, extended or (gasp!) the actress portraying Anita Blake will have to have to wear a wig. OH NOS! Amy lee is also fair skinned and wait for it, she would have to wear contacts!!! Oh the horror! BTW, Anita herself complains several times about her thick thighs and big boobs, which some people out there would consider to be " a lil chubby"

  • god, everyone, but not Bloom...

  • @RiderOfTheGod i do not understand. Everyone but bloom is or is not a good pick?

  • Kate beckinsale should play anita

  • @grikken42 i hope they never consider her for the role. I dont think she is a very good actress and she is way too old. most of my pics are now way too old for the role.

  • this is really good, and the only one i disagree with was Rafeal.... i think he should've been the rock.....

  • @KiannTate Thank you! Rafael is a lil more athletically built. i see him like younger Benjamin Pratt . mmmm Benjamin Pratt........

  • @IoneMahina

    np! you know what? i think i agree now....

    benjamin is pretty finnee. lol.

  • I hope they continue with the movie! The books are amazing!

  • LOVE your choice for wicked truth

  • @sampfa Thanx ^_^

  • Very nice! I don't really like Don-Henrie as Jean-Claude though. And I wish the movie would happen. I think Anita Blake's cooler than Buffy.

  • this would be my kind of movie!!! :DDDD

  • @louie23fly I wish they would make a movie or series but then again, it would probally just be a let down. :( Most of the movies i have seen recently suck!

  • I loved this. I'm not that far into the series yet, so some characters I just couldn't jugde, but right off the bat I really loved your picks for Larry, Zerbrowski, Richard and Rafael, those are spot on for me... and of course Dakota as Nikolaos would have been too good to be true, shame she would be too old now...

    I must say I personally would have picked an older, manlier-looking Jean-Claude. But that's just me of course... ;)

  • @HijaDelMar6 Thanx!

  • pretty awsome choices amy lee wood be alright but kate beckenstale wooda ben bettr ur choice 4 edward waz perfect!!!

  • Great choises for Nikolaos,Jean-Claude,Damien and Nathanie;.

    Not sure about Amy Lee,she seems too fragile and sensitive for Anita's role.And Kyle I see him more into a vampire role ,seeing him as a human is just weird (yeah,too much Blood Ties)

  • Seth Green would be a good Larry, with Michelle Rodriguez as Anita, but I can see Adrien as Willie, I liked your choice for mr Oliver, and Marcus Schenkenberg seems to be the fan favorite for Richard, but nice choices all around

  • I sort of agree with the human list but the other lists are too far off Orlando bloom and Dakota fanning would just ruin it

  • Everyone says The Rock should be Lt. Storr and I agree he's perfect for the role

  • edward should be the dude that playes spike off buffy the vamipre slayer and the rat king is more mexican

  • Shia as Larry? Larry is a redhead...Philip is listed under vampires, but he's human...

    Love the choice of Dakota for Nikolaos...I'd have gone with Julianna Marguiles for Anita.

  • @mkidd0630 okies, First, thank you for commenting. i do appreciate it .However, i must say that this has been addressed a few times already. Shia can have his hair dyed or wear a wig. No biggies there. He is also a little taller than Larry but no one really cares about that, just that he isn't a redhead. Really people?!Second, i am assuming you haven't read any of the comments. its been addressed several times, in the beginning comments that it was an editing mistake

  • @mkidd0630 Also, Dakota right now i think would be pushing it, so someone else would have to be Nikolas. Julianna Marguiles is just too old now for Anita She's 43.

    Looking at the All thing Anita wiki there is another listing for Anita, Katie Melua. She's a maybe in my book

  • Absolutely BRILLIANT! Honestly, how I pictured the characters looks a lot like who you and your team picked! Amazing!

  • @eclark5153 WOW!! Thank you! most people havent been that nice about it. I am thinking of redoing the whole thing, with more characters that i hadnt done yet. Any suggestion? :)

  • @CorsetBoundEvil Know this was forever ago, but... You're not being rude, it IS an opinion. And I absolutely could not back up why I sometimes consider her as Anita, I really can't. I even said that in my first post - don't look alike, don't act alike... But sometimes it just happens. Probably bc they're both kick ass women role models and I love them dearly. :) But like I said, I know it's crazy. :P

  • @psychicsammy lol no Meng-da is a woman

  • hm I agree with some of those like Nathaniel and Jason and Dr. Lilian but everyone else is kinda a no no 4 me but good job I love Jensen and Jared from Supernatural but I dnt see them in Anita Blake movie unless they r hunters XD

  • awesome picks!!

  • @rachelraia19

    Thanx ;p

  • I heard that the CW was going to be the channel starting this fall. for the tv show anita.

  • Whats CW?

  • where is alejandro???

  • your picks suck. sorry but they do.

  • @skofadown Thanx for playing!

  • Bartek-Nathaniel:))))))))))<3

  • awesome vid!!! I LOVE EDWARD!!!!!lol he's my fav character in the series. Neal McDonough is a great actor and he would make the perfect Edward lol loved him in tin man.

  • cool song and vid .

  • I just don't like Amy Lee for Anita, she needs to be more...hmm something, I had the word, but Amy Lee no, I liked the other picks just not for Anita.

  • LOVED your pics for the movie idea... Tho, my personal choice for jean claudewould be more Michael Wincott. for some reason I think he would do it good. and maybe someone a little more??? for richard. more I dont know what perhaps darker? but not a bad start at all good works!

  • Just curious. Do mean 'Gerard Butler'? And I think he may be a littel older than 8 years. ;-) Just wondering...

  • good job for most...my top pick is for Johnny Depp as JC and Val Kilmer as Asher, other than that you did really impress me!! LOVE your choice for Haven actually and Nathaniel wouldn't have to do anything but extensions!! :) GREAT JOB!!

  • wow I think you did a fabulous job. I'm just not at all attracted to don henrie, but that's personal taste.

  • I'm happy and sad at the same time that the series is getting very popular and they are now making the movies. Thats cool she'll probably get a lot more fans but i still selfishly wish that I was sorta the only one reading these books that I knew of lol. At least I have the original books and their covers when it first came out and it looked sorta cartoonish on the front of them and I forgot it when I was 9 b/c I thought it was a kids book for me. Little did my mom know what I was reading lol.

  • they're making the movies?!

  • awesome picks although i'm somewhat sad Olaf is almost always left out....hey btw i'm trying to get my friend into reading it and is using Olaf as my launching pad*she loves reading about psychos* so which books ar ethe ones with him in it?.. help me please:)

  • He first appears in Obsidian Butterfly, hope that helps ^_^

  • it certainly does...i'll go buy it and let her read it.....thx bunches :)

  • I have a video and I for the life of me have yet to find anyone that could live ip to my idea of Olaf. He's sorta hard to cast I think. I know whoever they choose when it gets to that book I probably won't agree with.

  • lol i know.....it's good that he's such a unique character but the casters have a hard task in front of them......

  • @WonderfulCullens I could not find a good Olaf. Who would you suggest?

  • For Meng Die I'm thinking Jeon Ji Hyun!The guy for Nathaniel is too masculine.Other than that you did a damn fine job!Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not a hater!I swear!

  • @TheDancingDarkness No problem. I can take criticism. What i can not take is blatant rudeness. Thanx for your comment!

  • Bartek Borowiec age???

  • I thought most were very fitting, but I wasnt really feeling the ones you picked for Micah and Richard. Nice Work all and all!

  • i like your choices for the shapeshifters.

  • @psychobunny32 Thanx!

  • Well, I read some of the negative comments and I don't know what they're talking about.  I think you did a great job with your picks and with your video. Screw those haters! They need to make their own video and see how people respond to their choices! Obviously some people don't understand what a "fan-based video" means. Good grief!

  • @klmixon Thank you. My apologies to you and the rest for replying so late. I never knew these comment were here. I never got anything in my mailbox. Again, my apologies!

  • Wait... what do you mean husband and boyfriend? Yeah, didn't think anyone would catch that did ya... lucky bitch. lol

  • @gragona What? What are you talking about??

  • @IoneMahina LOL I don't remember! Sorry, I must have been drunk or something. haha

  • @IoneMahina lol, its alrighty then...no worries, no drama!

  • pretty nice and most of them are fitting greatly! good job

  • I can see most of these. Some of them would have to do hair color changes, and several would have to really bulk up! I would change Micah to Kyle Schmid tho.. He's still too tall for Micah, but I think the look is better. In another video someone used actor Lance Armstrong for Edward and I think that fit very well. I think Gary Dourdan would be excellent as Jamil... a bit more rugged looking. But in all, great choices!

  • I love your picks!!!! I have to disagree on Richard though. He just doesn't seem to have that masculine face that LKH describes him as having.

  • Thank you. I really appreciate that

  • @ASAD03139642259 grown up!

  • Some of these were pretty fucking awesome! :) Great job!

  • I just started this series. I'm still on the first book, but from what I have imagined, you nailed em. I really love Dakota Fanning as Nikolaos. (Probably spelled that wrong lol.) She was who popped in my head when Anita described her!!!! Excellent job on the video!!!!!!

  • I love anita blake!!!

  • So do I, so do I!

  • i love the Wicked Truth! excellent combination of the two characters!...mmm lucky anita!

  • AMAZING PICKS!!

  • Comment removed

  • WTF Don Henri is ugly ass fuck and Amy Lee as Anita??? I don't think so, your imagination is all fucked up. This video sucks!!! I don't understand why you got all these views!!!! You're SUCCCHHHH an idiot!!! Hey its MY opinion, so don't hate you ruined my images!!!!

  • Exactly wat I was sayin!

  • aw i miss Philip so so much <3

  • Thanks...

  • Thanks, i relly appreciate that!

  • this tv movie is going to end up MA at the least...if true blood can pull R anita will most likely aswell..

    BRING IT ON!!!

  • Everyone does realize this a made for tv movie, granted it is an IFC funded film, so it won't be low budget. However it will not have the funds to sustain the actors everyone keeps thinking of. Anita is young when her character starts out everyone is suggesting older unlikely to be chosen women. I just hope they don't screw up the main casting of anita, richard, and jean-claude. That is the bread and butter of this film. Thank God the IFC channel is not a PG based station.

  • love your choice for Wicked and Truth :) not sure about Travis as Jason but he looks like he could pull it off (Jason is my fave werewolf)....still with the unknowns I think that is what we need to make it work

  • jonny depp would be better then orlando bloom because requeim was a poet and orlando wouldnt be good

  • What? LMAO, is this a serious comment or are you joking?

  • i have to say i admire your choice of characters, they fit nicely. I especially liked that you added Jensen Ackles =]

  • Thanks. Jensen can portray bing a uptight, stuffy prick really well. that's one of the reasons i chose him

  • i hate to say it but when i read the book i thought of dakoda for nicolas

    how weird/scary

  • Its not weird or scary. She went with the the most generic hack choice in choosing Dakota Fanning; the BIG "IT" child star of the decade. Seeing as its going to be a made for TV movie on a basic cable station it's extremely unrealistic considering budgetary restraints. Annnnd isn't she about 15-16 years old by now? Nikolaos was described as child like (ie: Kirsten Dunst in Interview). Goofy awkward teenage puberty would not fit well into a 1000+ year old ageless master vampire.

  • If i remember correctly, They "aged" Claudia from age to age 8 in the movie.

    Wasn't Nikolas 12? where is the big stretch that would make Dakota unfit? Who else do you have in mind?

  • Same here. Have you seen her in "Push"?

  • your cast is amazing

  • Thaks you very much! ;)

  • @ulalah5 Thanx i appreciate that! I think i did a good job, but it could have been better. I should have spent more time on it

  • hmm. some were good picks (especially bert vaughn) Larry is a pale freckle faced red head so think you missed that one, and lt storr as well. i kind of liked having norah jones as anita, but as far as acting ability and body type, probably j lo is a good bet.

  • You do realise that most actors, especially ones in "Otherworldly" movies were make up right? so why wouldn't Shia be rigt for the part? and height isn't an issue. They have ways of taking care of that too. J Lo? LMAO no way in hell is she even close to being a canidate for Anita!!

  • You're a loser for replying back to ALL of your comments. Stop trying to justify yourself you lowlife prick!!! You need to delete this video before I spam it!! HAHA!!!

  • Comment removed

  • First, i can reply to whatever comments i want to. This is my channel and you dont have to look at it. Second, most people would appreciate the fact that i have read their comments ad take the time to reply back. This doesn't make me a loser, it makes you a loser for reading through my comments only to leave nasty, pointless comments. If you spam my channel, i just report it. you really dont bother me at all. Besides, its not like i cant just block you.

  • Comment removed

  • how am i throwing a tantrum?? If you really read all the comments, you would see that i am not the one making a big deal over this. with most of the people who didnt agree with me, we weren't obnoxious to each other. I only have problems with the people who cause one. Yes, it is very fucking sad that if someone comments negatively on my channel, im just supposed to not reply, according to you. Grow up you fucking child!

  • you have all the were wolves perfect actors to fit the roll

  • Thank you very much!

  • scott speedman is a deffanite richard

  • I thought so too. We'll see what IFC does in the future

  • Hmm..Yeah, pretty good. Really good actually, I would have cast Kate Beckinsale as Anita but apart from that...perfect, Especially Nathaniel, he is hot. And Damian, wow, where did you find these guys, men that hot don't exist!

  • Ms. Beckinsale i do not feel is right for the part of Anita at all. I kinda got into that earlier in the comments

  • This is not the children's page. Why dont you kiss my ass and jump first!

  • good goin fucktard. Thank god you're not the casting director for the movie. Jesus christ. Have you even read the books.. ya mummy fart. Anyways, go fall of a cliff.

  • The pic for nathaniel was really good. But you could have shown their faces for a bit longer before covering it up with their names. Shia? He's got Larry's energy. Interesting pics, yes.

  • Thanks and maybe i wil work on that next time.

  • I agree on most. Some were iffy, but the Anita Blake and the twins pick were a major no for me. Amy Lee is too feminine pretty for Anita. Anita is pretty but in a different way.

  • wow, that is the first time i have heard that one. I think Amy Lee is pretty, but not overly feminine/ go figure...

  • lol don henrie is too emo for jean

  • EMO????? I don't think so, whatever. take care

  • It's ok if you think that he would be a good Jean Claude but so what if I think that Don Henrie is emo? I also think he's ugly ass fuck! We all have our own images of what we IMAGINE Jean Claude to look like so don't get mad at people just because they don't agree with you. It's MY opinion. And DON'T try and say that you take criticism well because you don't. I just said a little comment about him being emo and you reply back to me a MONTH later with a attitude? I dont think so.

  • Nathaniel is excellent. Overall, nicely chosen.

  • Thank you very much!

  • Wow, you've made some really interesting choices...don't agree with all of them, but none the less very interesting!

  • Thank you

  • Thanx, and have fun reading!

  • With the exception of her colored eyes, she fits pretty well. ANITA;5'3 AMY 5'3 Both have curves, dark hair (yeah its not curly but for all we know she straightens her hair, either way, its can be curled) and pale skin, which Anita complains about all through the series. Amy, like Anita looks like a "good girl" small, and "dainty" but neither one are. She reminds me alot of LKH and to me, the look alike. I think LKH modeled Anita's looks after her own.

  • yah i think the same thing to for a wile i was really into the series but after the harlqin i kind of just got tired of her crap i mean i love all the guys but stop being so stubern and an ass to all of them also i want her to pick one guy i mean when she is in love with every one it dosent make her words "i love you" mean much anymore when you are just handing it out and she is alredy a whore stop fighting it she is just hurting the ones she says she "loves"

  • You made a lots of typing mistakes...

  • ...Nice of you to notice

  • @Ichigo616

    If I were to point out spelling mistakes, I would ensure my grammar was correct before posting.... "a lots of"???? Fool

  • @missalphamikeyankee Mert te biztosan tökéletes vagy és soha sem hibázol,ugye?

  • @Ichigo616

    Yes. You are right!! But I am not claiming to be perfect. If you don't like people pointing out your errors in grammar perhaps you shouldn't point out theirs. I fail to see why you need to reply in Hungarian when you made your original pointless comment in English. Maybe next time you are criticising somebody elses grammar you will ensure yours is perfect first.

  • I lovee your picks, except Amy Lee doesn't fit Anita at all. sorry.

  • So... For some reason, I keep picturing Amy Lee as Anita, and I have no IDEA why. They don't look the same, act the same, yada yada. But I kept seeing Amy and thinking Anita and thinking I was crazy. And then I see this, and know - I may be crazy, but I am not alone. Cheers!

  • Thank you! ;p

  • my fav or the wares! :P i love the leporades there my babys

  • yeah, i like the Weres too!

  • those are pretty nice picks for the actors it of by a little the way i see them but you did pretty good i like it

  • Thanx. Take care

  • OMG great phillip pick! Great vamp picks. Wow Jared and Jensen!! <3

  • Thank you.

  • I like this its good...but even though Don-Henrie looks gorgeous, i don't think any one can play Jean- Claude he's too perfect....oh and i like the background music what is it?

  • I dont remember, sorry! It was randomly picked because of the copyright infringement thing.

  • Micah was only as tall as Anita though so, 6ft wouldn't work

  • Its been done before. Who do you see as Micah?

  • Most were pretty good...I didn't like Amy Lee as Anita though...she's beautiful...just not how I imaged her. I see Roselyn Sanchez or even Eva Longoria as Anita...someone who looks more Mexican as described in the books....but overall...I like your choices.

  • You obviously weren't paying attention while you were reading. Even though Anita is part hispanic, she does not look it. She is VERY pale and had problems with her family growing up because of it. She does have dark eyes and curly dark hair, though.

  • Was this directed to me or nswank75?

  • nswank, not you. "someone who looks more Mexican as described in the books...." It says in the book that she is very pale and had family problems because she did not look Mexican. She has the dark hair and eyes but that's it.

  • Thank you! Its nice to know that you remembered those details!

  • um, not going there. if i did, it would be like the tenth time

  • I agree with some of your choices but realize that most of them were for their physical similarity to the characters. Whether or not some of them would be able to act is quite another story. Having said that I realize you're just having fun with this...

  • Why thank you very much

  • Favorite pick: Nathaniel. *drool* Least favorite: Mr. Oliver. He was supposed to be close to a neanderthal so I think he'd be best left out of a movie. ;) No living person would fit his description, imo.

    I liked the picks as a general rule. Mmm, tasty boys...

  • Mr. Oliver was a major character. leaving him out wouldnt make sense unless they changed the story.

  • Mr. Oliver was a throw-away villain, introduced and killed within a single novel. I was actually pretty disappointed at Hamilton's handling of Oliver; for such a powerful individual he sure was killed off pretty easily.

  • wow these are really good choices.
