  • And actress Nicole Beharie would make a great Demali Richards. Put her and actor Patrick J Dancy together and you've got a movie.

  • Patrick J Dancy who plays Ted on Family Matters would make a great Carlos Rivera. And he's part Spanish in real life as well.

  • i call for a redo!!!!!!! i just got in the series......im insulted

  • Get a job. If I was YouTube I would erase this for the good of mankind.

  • I loved these books, and I believe that better can be done by this series. The character choices for Damali and Carlos are very off in my opinion. Neither of them are as attractive as I pictured, and the way Damali is speaking is super annoying.

  • omg no offense to anyone, but being a fan of the series this trailer was extremely cornball. Also it kind of ruins what I envision the characters would look like.

  • this could be better... i didnt envision the book trailer to be this... but as long as the message gets to where it belongs...

  • this needs alot of work!!!!!and why is carlos black?very dissapointing..

  • @crazivamp15 what do u mean very disappointing.U don't know this man personally, ur judging him by the way he looks, assuming he is black when he is actually Latino like the character, what do u expect him to look like George Lopez.That's very racist for u to assume someone is black just because they look it.Stop judging people and grow up.

  • @2scales I take that back:) very offensive to some poeple. sorry:( I invisioned the characters different .sorry 2 scales:( Did'nt mean anything by it:( Calm down. Im Just fifteen ! geesh

  • @crazivamp15 .I take that back:) very offensive to some poeple. sorry:(

  • This is whack!!!

  • You know what Carlos should be the Latino guy from "I can do bad all by myself". He is hott! Damali, Idk... *sigh*

  • Omg. Noooo ! noooo!!!

  • omfg, can damali be better and carlos as well? This "trailer" does no justice. It looks like it was done like during a boring weekend. it was well oput together but couldve been so much more. If its gonna be posted up on youtube can this be on its best state. I think both Damali and Carlos deserve that much.

  • Cool !

  • OOOHHH NOOOO what is this ...if a movie is to be made it better be some real shit not this corn ball crap the book is too damn good like I want some state of the art technology with the scenes

  • Oh wow it truely does look like kids put it together.

    And Carlos is Latino why is there a black guy playing him???

  • Comment removed

  • Are u serious?!! This is sad and very disappointing this loooks like a movie some kids threw together for fun.

  • well that was disappointing!!!! They should've picked different ppl 2 play Carlos and Damali ( maybe I should play D...lol... seriously tho)

  • I wanna play Damali LOL

  • NOOOOOOOOOOO, I pictured Damali and Carlos in such a different way. the actors don't look half as good as the book portrays

  • wow. That's bad. And not even the good kind of bad. Just bad.....

  • I hate urban poetry.

  • Wow. This extemely competent and not at all comically bad video bodes well for the literary standards of the books themselves. Seriously.

  • whatever... the books are MUCH better than this half-assed video. there doesn't even need to be a movie; it will just make the books seem corny.

  • I kind of wanna start reading these books. Are they good?

  • They are truley dope! Check them out!

  • I wish they reached out for me to play this part!!!! does anyone know if the movie is done yet?

    Res

  • no clue just found out about her from rewatching the special before the premiere of True Blood. im gonna check out the book though

  • love thiss book

  • Not to mention from the real akan symbol it is way off but the name is kool Akokonini

  • Yeah the video is coll and all except for the fact that her akan tattoo is backwards check the books i did lol!!!!!

  • Pretty girl, bad acting. Thank goodness this is just a trailer for a book & not for the movies that will be coming (but not soon enough). Even so, the whole premise is enough to send chills down your spine!

    I can't wait to see what the movies are going to be like since they first few books have been picked up. I'm so impatient, I want to watch them now! They'll do so well in the box office, these books have everything!

  • ok...I have to appologize, seriously i am sorry i didnt know that it was author approved. But thanks for agreeing with me xswx13 and emilia burns would be great for D. What about the guy who played Dozer in Matrix for Shabazz?(Anthony Ray Parker)gonna have to get a posse together and figure this thing out.:)

  • oh yeah i agree with lilflamethrower13 the guy that played Wrench...Franky G...would be awesome as Carlos!

  • okay so this video isnt great...it definitely isnt the people i envisioned. but i realize that this is just a promo vid, nothing more. all those with negative comments should chill and think of a way to help get this book made into a movie. i dont think that there should be too many big names in the movie also...i am praying that they find some new blood that can act...but here is one suggestion for damali...the girl from that movie The Condemned...Emelia Burns.

  • Your right, this girl seems way to dramatic.

  • I like this video- It follows the charater-it shounds like a spoken word performance. So you get a slice of the book. I think the negative comments are a disservice to the author and COS. It would not have been posted unless the author approved it. I think it is an excellent reprensentation of the book.

  • And one more thing.....Those people "acting" in this should not be kept.Period.Damali sounds hotter and when Carlos is described he sounds like either the guy-who's seen Dirty Love?- who dumped McArthy's character or in "The Italian Job" (the most recent one with walberg)the guy named Wrench. I was thinkin'(hehehe) maybe Whoopie could be marlene.? who knows?

  • Whoopi as Marlene doues sound interesting.

  • I agree with every one on here that it shouldnt be made into a movie without a awsome cast, like, Michael Clark Duncan for Shabazz or Big Mike or somethin' and other awsome actors/actresses, it especially shouldn't get made into a tv show..look how gaudy Buffy was,talk about hokey. And it didn't think the weapon she carried "Madam Isis" were those kind, i thought it was like a ninja sword with three blades. But,i agree with evanhsu2, awsome author needs awsome actors and actresses.

  • right on

  • allright so carlos isnt that cute in the video. but for real the vampire huntress legend books ar eTHE best.I cant wait for the next book to come out on feb. 6 08

  • OH PLEASE. That better not be Carlos Rivera.

    Oh fucking helllll no.

    This is going to be horrible!

    It's going to show injustive to the character, and it's just wrong.

  • I agree with labouredailure if they ever have a cast like this, my gosh what injustice it will have on the characters in the books.

  • ... I can't believe this video ...

    wtf ... GOsh .. I just want to shoot this video ... someone hand me my blade!!!

    gosh!! wtf!! and was that supposed to be Carlos Rivera?! ...

    YOU HAVE GOT TO bE KIDDING ME!

  • Dude... please dont kill the series with a movie or tv show or web show. Please. Wait for a large movie deal and top notch actors.

  • is this coming to TV? and if so I won't watch this crap. Carlos is hispanic and Damali is WAYY better looking on the covers than that. If it's a web series it's one thing but that video was terrible. keep the characters true at least BEFORE doing videos in tribute to it honestly.

  • The video is not good at all, and Please dont have this woman as Damali she should look way better then that sorry !

  • The series and the author are top notch! The video could use some work. But you can still see the potential. Seriously, liking the actress playing Damali...

  • Is this seriously ... serious??!! ...

    ugggh x.x

    I hope not .. I wasn't feeling this video AT ALL.

    gah ... I agree with velliebellie .. THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I HAVE SEEN ... not in a long time. but yeah.

    PLEASE .. DO NOT do this AGAIN.

  • Well it's a start. But it does kinda help to better visualize what Carlos and Damali look like.

  • I love this video and the author is the bomb

  • How dare you! This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a long time. Really Damili and Carlos deserve better. Carlos is supposed to be very suave and have wavy hair. Damili has long locks and shes beautiful. This video could not have been any farther from what the book proposed. HOW DARE YOU!

  • you are so rigth they shoud have use Res,D's canterpart and one for two peple to play carlos that is the Rock ore vin dilsal

  • omg i totally thought the same thing..haha or vin diesel as Carlos and the rock as Jose...awsomeness! love the books

  • what crack are you smoking on this b rate shit donot even fit the book please dont do this again please

  • wow a really great start to the legends series. Now that we have a taste of Damali come on people lets get this movie in full effect. Just save me a seat at the world Premiere. I'm Mist...
