A Great and Terrible Beauty Cast

[iEmoScratches]

Not a fan of Rachel Hurd-Wood.

And the girl who is Felicity here doesn't look have strong enough facial features to portray such a strong character.

All the others look perfect for the part though.

[pacochingobling23]

or ranveer singh as kartik cause he' s dark skin :)

[pacochingobling23]

I think dev patel should play kartik after he bulks up hahaha gemma by emma watosn or this girl, natalie dormer as felicity and katie mcgrath as pippa and tamzin merchant as ann cause of "naivete." iddddk hahahaha :)

[MrBuckaroony]

I LOVED THE WHOLE THING!!! I think that Kartik is FABULOUS and Simon looks the role. Tom is old eneough. Every vid i have watched has had the same Gemma, but i am not possitive about Amanda as Fee because she doesnt have the sharp feirce ness that is neccesary. Libba Bray needs to write a fourth book or I will rip out my heart, the book were so so sad :'(

[madamemusiquepourvie]

except karik and tom it's perfect! especially felicity...my favourite character :D

[TheAraberstylerin343]

ann popplewell fits PERFECTLY into the role of pippa..... and rachel fits perfectly into the role of gemma..... great job: D

[randomsockmonkeys]

I think Ava Jogia as Kartik, look him up people :D

[songbird4799]

Anne and Felicity... switch and perfect

[TheDoraLL]

I REALLY LIKE THIS!!!!!♥

[coolJessie123]

PERFECT choice for Simon!!!!!!!!

[megustaescucha]

I always wanted elisha cuthbert to play felicity. Especially after watching "the quiet"

[RedVampireRose]

I LOVE this, they're all almost exactly how i pictured them. I wish they would actually make a movie!

[evieProductions]

Gemma is perfect,

Kaya Scodelario for Pippa,

Lily Loveless for Felicity (I know they're both from skins),

Georgia Groome for Ann

They're all English.

[gd1866]

I think all the characters you chose are perfect but if Anna popplewell's hair was darker then she would look exacly! :)

[sepidehtje]

I would actually prefer if they chose unknown faces, Fresh new actresses. I can't help but think of "mean girls" and that stupid girl when I see Amanda seyfried, which is totally the reverse of what Felicity should be like. But these are just my opinions.

[TheLibbaBray]

what's the name of the song up first?

[Liliah121]

@TheLibbaBray

its all one song by Biffy Clyro called 9 15th

[1121Carol]

Gemmas eyes are littralley piercing but i wonder if any one else has better more peircing green eyes

[LovelyMe93]

Everybody sucked, sorry :/

[hdickinson2]

The only one I have to say I disagree with is the one cast as felicity.

[Anonymousses123]

@hdickinson2 i agree with you

[MsCishy]

I always thought of Simon as chad micheal Murray! lol! but i think this cast is perfect! especialy Pippa. :)

[lindsaylohansucks]

popplewell is ugly

[TheBookworm24]

i love this cast!! Felicity is PERFECT! simon is perfect too, so is Gemma, but i think that Bonnie Wright from Harry Potter would make a good Gemma

[Cameo0434]

i like ann hate pippa but LOVE KARTIK AND SIMON!

...i have a thing for ben wishaw and tom struidge

toms a good one too!

[TEEHEE0981]

I like you cast!!!1

[mewfan24]

u forgot Gemma, but other than that it was awsome!!!

♥♥♥

[TheBookworm24]

@mewfan24 im pretty sure gemma was the first girl. i think she just forgot to write her name

[LunaticMiNa]

@mewfan24 no she put Gemma First on the vid ! is Rachel Hurdwood

she wrote it 0:08 .

[Cmet332]

And Kartik: Dav Patel

[Cmet332]

My CAST

Gemma:Rachel hurd-wood

Felicity:Amanda Seyfried

Ann:Bonnie Wright

Pippa: Kaya Scoledario

[Cmet332]

Kartrik is supposed to be Indian not white!!

[Liliah121]

@Cmet332 yes and thats why i said in my comments that I didnt have an Indian Actor yet picked out. In my second cast vid I do

[gmmuan]

Wow! I really love this series and I think you have

picked the best actors so far to resemble the

characters in the book!

[Liliah121]

@gmmuan thank you so very much

[alexatetris]

wow, lemme just say your simon is perfect!

and I didn't think i was going to like anna poppelwell as pippa but i do!

[Liliah121]

@alexatetris lol im glad you like them

[robinLOVESstarfire]

Anna Popplewell isn't pretty enough to be Pip imo...but I really like this video!

[Kairbear19]

Love everyone except Felicity and Kartik. I would absolutely love to see this book made into a movie!

[LittleMsNicola]

exept for kartik i totally agree with you! anna popplewell would do perfect as pippa.

but still i dont think the film could ever beat the book.

[missquackquack]

@Kugo101 i think she'd be great for the part

[maxnmer]

Don't like Gemma, Ann, Pippa, Kartik,

Kinda like Felicity,

[Liliah121]

the very same, i saw her again in Like Minds aka Murderous Intent, and she was great

[greenblackeyes]

Your video is very good!!!

Pippa and Felicity are perfect! ^^

[ipodgirl95]

Tom and Simon are perfect.

Gemma's good too.

[Liliah121]

thank you!

[bunnnyplayful]

i actually like the choice for pippa... i love that actress -ever since the little vampire haha. shes a good actress.

but ann? NOOOO..... sarah steele, who played adam sandlers daughter in spanglish, would be perfectttt

[Liliah121]

Ill have to look into her, Im glad you liked it over all though ;)

[whitemexicanchic]

tanx!!! and nice cast by the way i really like Pippa :D

[Liliah121]

thanks Im glad you liked it, i made a second cast vid as well, it has more cast possibilties

[whitemexicanchic]

hey hwat song is this?? i really like it :)

[Liliah121]

Biffy Clyro- 9/15th

they are a great band, Machines is a great song from them

[Megerz16]

Anna is pretty but for Pippa no one ever considers Brenna O'Brien. She's perfect for it lol.

[xXTheMajorityLiedXx]

I LOVED the choice for Felicity; most people get her wrong.

Gemma was good, too, though Ann shouldn't be prettier than Gemma...

Pippa-sorry, but no. Not Anna Popplewell.

Loved Kartik.

Simon was perfect, and I liked Tom, too.

[Liliah121]

thanks, i made another vid that had more options for the characters,

[CMFanxD]

I would chose the same, except from Pippa...

[Myhorse321]

I would switch the characters of Tom and Simon...

[Liliah121]

i saw Tom Sturridge and instantly though omg Simon, but i could see Ed as Simon too

[twilightfan151990]

I love her as Gemma!!!!!!!

[Liliah121]

thanks, id be happy with her or bonnie wright

[stereoboese]

great choice simon!!!

but tom: no at all!! ed speleers is just too nice to be tom.

gemma: best choice i've seen, felicity too.

pippa: no.

kartik is beautiful, but does not fit. the actor is not an indian at all!

but the video is well-made (;

[Liliah121]

thank you

[luckystarr2010]

I think that Rachel hurd wood would make a better Mary Dowd:/

also I think Kartik should be played by an Indian guy

Also I think that Anne Poppywell shold play Ann because Anne can be both ordinary in the real world and beautiful in the realms

[torborgirl123]

Great cast choices!!!

[kleigh4892]

i think the casting for this is the closest to my opinion, too..although, felicity's ok, but idk about kartik..? perfect choice for gemma though

[Liliah121]

i did make a new vid that has more choices for the characters, you may like those better ;)

[darksilklips]

anna is just not pretty enough for pippa and WAYYY not period! Pippi is supposed to look like a cameo.

[darksilklips]

what song is this?

[Lex222101]

PERFECT CAST!!

u picked the best cast ive seen

(good choice on pippa)

[love4mygoddess]

PERFECT. seriously. :D

[lolkittehs34]

I think Ann looks a little young, but otherwise, you did really well!

[Liliah121]

thank you

[writerforever11]

What a great kartik!

[vampirekisses244]

I think you've got them pretty much down! I love who you picked for Ann. I think felicity and pippa would be better as other people whose names i can't remember.... and KARTIK!! Sorry, but I'm a major Steve Straight fan for that part. <333 I think it's his serious, dark, i'm-not-seriously-not-kidding-­this-time look. xD

[Liliah121]

haha i love Steven Straight, he is amazingly pretty.

[vampirekisses244]

i think you've pretty much got the entire thing down! :D I still think that Kartik would be great with Steve Straight. <333333333 It's that serious, dark, i'm-seriously-not-kidding-this­-time look of his!! xD

[DemyxAxel123459]

All the fan casts I've seen has been with Rachel Hurd-Wood as Gemma, and sure, she's a great actress, but...Personally I think she's too pretty. I mean, Gemma is supposed to be pretty, but not BEAUTIFUL. And the best would be if they used new people for the young actors, I think 8D But good job with the cast though!

[Liliah121]

i think gemma is supposed to be normel at first but is alluring. RHD is that in many ways, but again Im still looking around for more to cast

[MariiaaManiiaa]

Reallyy good but i just disagree with ann but the rest is great!!

Cool video!!

[BellzXO]

If they cast Anna Popplewell as Pip, then they would have to pluck her eyebrows and straighten her teeth.

[alittlebitmuddled]

your simon is fantastic and also sooo hot yum =]

um but i dont think amanda seyfried should play felicity simply because she looks so much older and i don't think Kate maberly should be ann cuz she looks too young...but cool

[DaniM4444]

i LOVED gemma. and simon too! but felicity shouldn't be played by amanda seyfriend. and anna wuzn't wut i imagined for pippa, but i think it wood be cool to see how she does

[jibber102]

What about Sophia Bush as a Pippa? I mean I know she's in her mid 20s, but it's an idea!

[jibber102]

NO! Anna Popplewell is pretty, but she is not AMAAAAAZINGLY beautiful! Nor does she have a dainty figure with a small nose! Ah! It makes me crazy that people want to choose her, I mean she's a great actress, but no. And I do believe Felicity is supposed to have small eyes, not GINORMOUS eyes lol. Just my critiques, but the rest is good!

[twilightfan151990]

OMG! That would be the perfect cast!!! I cant wait to find out who they are really going to choose.

[elenius2008]

i imagined simon JUST like this! he's amazing! ann and gemma are really good too.

[pkatharine]

i would really LOVE to see anna popplewell as pippa!!

[EdFan93]

ohh so great!

anna popplewell is so great!

and i really like ed speleers :D

[Caromaus93]

omg I love your cast amanda seyfried would be perfect as fee

[chriistiee]

wow, simon's character is EXACTLY how I imagined him. It's almost eerie.

I think that shawn ahmed from flight 93 would fit kartik really nicely.

[xFutureJockeyx]

OMG Anna popplewell would be perfect as pippa!!!

[MrsNickJonas10101]

They are PERFECT!!! I REALLY hope they cast those people! OMG! You should like send that to the directors or something!

[Kairbear19]

love all your picks!

what song is this btw?

[Liliah121]

9 3/4 by Biffy Clyro

[hassigurl45]

wow i reaaaally like your choices. i DO think they could use some one else for pippa but she's REALLY beautiful 2!!!!! kartik could be darker and ann is REALLY goood. awesome cast!

[krisycave95]

I love the people you chose for the cast! They are all perfect! Especially with Gemma. But the character playing Kartik chould have longer hair, but he is still a very good choice. Me and my friends can't wait for the movie to come out

[Bonjourneko]

Tom is amazingly cute. :D All of them were good, but Gemma does need to be taller. lol

[Liliah121]

i just cant wait to get a real cast lol

[lolkittehs34]

Tom is TOO cute. Wasn't he in Eragon?

[Liliah121]

yes he was

[Zero5dine]

OMg!! they are perfect... though i'm having second thoughts about pippa... i always imagined her almost like a godess and kartrik a bit darker but he's good. i don't know about u (sorryyy) but everyone else is perfect ^_^

[Liliah121]

I have Michael Stegar in mind for Kartik, the guy i used in this really was a stand in lol

[chriistiee]

Michael Stegar is almost perfect for Kartik!

[GaaraHug]

Oh sorry I didnt see the text.

[GaaraHug]

who did you choose to play gemma?

[LuminescentDelusion]

AW!

I love it!

I pictured someone with longer hair though for Kartik..but still Wishaw is handsome..so he'll do! :DDD

[sizerz]

YYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!­!! FINALLY!! someone who's imagined pretty much what i have through out the series!! Spot on with Gemma, i think! Pippa and Ann, too! i had to take a second look at felicity, but figured she'd fit right in. Kartik i always imagined fairly dark; rustcolored almost. : ) but the guy you picked was still really good! Tom and Simon just.... felt right, y'know. i'm so happy over your selection! the best yet!!

[Liliah121]

wow thank you very much!

[katerbuggz]

I think Leighton Meester would be a great Pippa, I even made a video about it.....no one has mentioned it :(

[machendley]

no. fee is to soft in this. gemma is perfect. everyone else is aslo wonderful

[TNMEBDlove]

PERFECT! but i still do not like gemma! sorry and all! but i don't :( I thought someone taller, and a bit skinnier, just fit the part better, not trying 2 b mean!

[Kmovieproduction]

Thats probably the best cast I've seen for this movie so far! :)

[Liliah121]

thank you very much

[piratesgirl1234]

Wow I love the cast for Felicity and Anne and Pippa

AHHH!!!! YOU TOTALY PICKED PERFECT!

Although I think the guy who was Simon should be Tom

Haha sorry the guy from Eragon

[Liliah121]

thanks, it was hard to think who would play those two, either works for me lol

[escape4eva]

Wow this is a good cast. I never thought of ed speelers as tom but it is a good match. i always thought of him older so i thought of joe anderson for him.

[Liliah121]

Joe would be good too, I thought of Tom as a mid twenties kind of guy that has looks but brains, Ed fit that in my mind lol

[NJJD13]

this is one of the best casts i ve seen except for tom but besides him everybody else is awesome .... i love these books !!!!!!

[Liliah121]

I love them too, I plan to read them for the 4th time soon

[FantasmaLuna]

Wow, I use Kate Maberly in The Secret Garden as Little Ann in my vids. I love that movie!

[Liliah121]

me too, I think she is perfect

[highfivefourthree21]

That is a really good cast. I can see every single one of them.

[Liliah121]

Thank you!

[FashionRocks4ever]

u rock

[Liliah121]

thanks!

[objdvarm]

If I see another person put Rachel watsherface as Gemma I think I'll vomit! Libba Bray says that Gemma has copper red hair not like fire and she says that she's tall and that Rachel girl is extremly short and she ALSO says that Gemma has a good profile and have you seen that girl's NOSE?! Sorry if you think I'm being mean the Kartick was alright I liked you're Simon and you're Tom was OK and I liked you're Ann but Pippa had the right eye color but i don't think shes pretty enough shes kinda fat

[Liliah121]

The fat comment isnt nice, she is actually very pretty and not razor thin like more actors are today.

I used Rachel bc she did an amazing job in Perfume, she had this worrior feel to her and I thought why not.

[objdvarm]

I'm not saying that she's FAT FAT I'm just sayng that she has like chubby cheeks and Rachel Hurd Wood I just don't like her. But I think Anna P. is a very talented actress I just don't think she's BEAUTIFUL as they describe her in the book. Shes pretty but she just has that cute baby face.

[AdsumIma]

Avan Jogia for Kartik.

Or Dev Patel.

[BeautyVintageRoses]

yessssssss

[HeyIz]

also....the girl you have for anne is from the secret graden!!!omg i love that!!!! YaY! This is perfect. The ppl in charge of casting shud just go stright to your vid

[HeyIz]

Okay...the perfect Kartik...Dev Patel from Slumdog millionaire. im trying to help you find a good Kartik, and i think he is amazing....AND he is an Indian that lives in London...perfect huh?

[bestpenpal1]

this is the first video i actually like!!

I like everyone but felicity and kartik!

and anne for pippa i'm iffy on!

[01Marii]

loll and for some reason, i usually picture Kelly Rutherford (Lily Van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl) as Mrs. Worthington. Am I alone on that?

[01Marii]

very good choices!

i think that amanda isn't that great of a choice for Felicity though. Everything else was genius, especially for Pippa! I can even imagine the fierceness in her when she goes over to the Borderlands.

And MAN, who is the one you chose for Simon? I haven't heard of him before, but he's soo very attractive :)

I absolutely love your choices though!

[Liliah121]

I have Tom Sturridge as Simon, he was in the film Like Minds, its amazing!!

[JAAxox]

OMG Anna Popwell as Pipa is sooo perfect!! i can't believe i never realised that it's freakin genious!!! but i don't think amanda seyfried could be felicity..i always pictured felicity stronger/feircer. the other ones are awesome!

[hhmmquerico]

wow i think you made great choices!!!:D

i specially like the idea of amanda seyfried as felicty!!!

[Liliah121]

Thank you, I think she is stunning

[jarfish02]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! anna as pippa! PTICH PERFECT! ur a genius! lol. and whats the name of this song? i love it!

[Liliah121]

ahh thanks, I like her for Pippa too lol

the song is called 9 3/4 by Biffy Clyo they are great, you can look them up here esp the song Machines

[twilightersss]

I do love your choice for Felicity though!

[twilightersss]

Please no more Rachel Hurd-Wood!

does anyone else have any ideas for Gemma that isn't Rachel Hurd-Wood?

She does not look like the bold, brave, mysterious Gemma Doyle. She looks like a firghtened little mouse to me. Not to be mean. sorry if you like her. She doesn't look at all like the girl on the cover either. sorry

[Liliah121]

Gemma will in my mind be very hard to cast, like you said she needs to be tough and yet kind looking. Rachel seemed to do well in Perfume, so I figured why not. I was looking at Bonnie Wright as well(just needs curls)

[twilightersss]

yeah i agree. i haven't seen perfume, but i take your word for it.

[FantasmaLuna]

Read the book first. The film is beautifully shot, but the book is so much better

[TippiDink]

Not Anna Popplewell...she's just not pretty that one. Besides, I'm sure she's tired after lugging her lips all over Narnia

[curlygirl1016]

i really love this cast. i think pippa should be a tad prettier though. your simon is so good looking. I love Amanda as Felicity.

[Liliah121]

thanks, Anna was a pull for Pippa, she had the same features and she can be truly stunning but i think she may be better as Ann.

[xojoannaax3]

are they really making a movie of these books??

[heinousbitch46]

i like the song

[Liliah121]

I love Biffy Clyro, they are amazing

[muhminatali1]

wtf! i thought Kartik was Indian!! they put a white person there!!! he's effing indian

such assholes!!

[Liliah121]

well I put in the comment area that I didnt have an Indian actor yet that I found to play him, so I stuck with Ben. I can only hope that they find an Indian actor, but you can only hope.

[BeautyVintageRoses]

yeah he is indian.

[shinobirocker]

I like who you chose for everyone. They can have Ben Wishaw get a little tan, it'll look hot on him, but some people might get mad about the actor not being Indian. But I really liked your choices! I loved the Simon picture at 1:55.

[Liliah121]

Ben could play him, but Im sure there might be someone better. and I can only hope that Tom plays Simon

[1JazzCat]

Omg I love your choices! Ben Wishaw is very handsome, but he didn't fit my image of Kartik because he looks too English. I think they could've made a better choice for Edward Cullen from Twilight too, so I suppose I just make them look better in my mind. lol Great choices though! ^_-

[Liliah121]

Yea Ben isnt my real choice for Kartik but for now he will do lol

thank you

[KaliDesarai]

I really like your choices. Ive seen where alot of people cast alexis bledel as Pippa, and I totally dont agree with that. I love your choice so much better. ^_^

[Liliah121]

Thank you very much, Im glad you like it! I think Anna would be a great Pippa or Ann so Im happy you agree

[LadyOfTheRain]

i agree...even if alexis could be made to look like pippa, she is nowhere near a strong enough actress to portray the role. she is phenomenal as rory, but anything much past that and she's lost

[Zaeiir]

Mhm. Pippa has some really intense moments.

[2kisses4uProductions]

its cute :) Only thing is i think Pippa and kartik are misscast. Still a great video!

[Liliah121]

thank you, yea I have been trying to find someone for Kartik for a bit now.

[lauraleeeeeee]

btw, I also love the song choice.

[Liliah121]

thanks, I love Biffu Clyro and I thought the words fit pretty well with the book

[KennaHuliaGulia]

love the video and the casting is great, i'm just not too fond of anna for pippa...she's pretty or whatever, but i just don't see her as pippa. everyone else was great. i could see ben whishaw as kartik, i guess (as long as he got some more muscles and stayed unshaven) because i don't really care if the actor is ACTUALLY indian--because my dream kartik isn't (steven strait). i LOVE rachel for gemma, no matter what people say, and amanda is okay for felicity...everyone else is great too! :D

[Liliah121]

Thank you, Im still getting a few cast pics now and will post a new version soon

[BeautyVintageRoses]

I LOVEE Tom for Simon and Ed for Tom =]

Kate Malberly might be just as pretty as Anna Popplewell-but geeze cheeze did Anna look gorgeous in those pictures--she seems more of an Ann...but to each their own Pippa and Ann =D

[Liliah121]

With the next vid Im making Anna will be put in as both Ann and Pip.

Im glad you like Ed and Tom(love him)

And Im glad you like the song I used, its one of my fav.

[redlipstickchick]

Ok guys. Get ready for the pickiest person to judge thez vids.

MY GOSH PEOPLE! HAVE YOU SEEN RACHEL ACT?! mamma mia girl? I don't think so. Her look isn't right. narnia girl? she can't act either. *-*

[Liliah121]

To each thier own. its hard finding a cast that fits the look and age for these characters, or for any book actually. Do you have any ideas for any casts?

[redlipstickchick]

Yea, ok. I guess I overlooked that fact that it's based on looks. And yea I do know who they shud cast 4 everything... ME! ha ha jk jk. But relly at least I can act but as you said: here it's based on looks. I could probably only pull off Pippa. My opnion 4 a lot lately is hopeful for unknowns. Honestly if it's already a great book why do you need big names?

[Liliah121]

I think unknown actors would be great too, bc in many ways this is an unknown book. I think the main characters should be New and fresh, and characters like Circe or Gemma's mother should be a little more well known, so it can pull in more of an audience.
