Dakota Blue Richards-Stephanie Edgley in Skulduggery Pleasant

[MrCraze45]

Skulduggery should be played by Robert Downey Jr.

[SkateFastRockHard]

Is'nt she english?

Stefanie must be irish

I hate when people try fake irish accents it sounds awful

[kevinlimwangli]

@musichead32 yea youre right cos they both have that layback kinda eccentric acting attitude that makes them funny

[sesshomarusamarocks]

THEY NEED TO MAKE A SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT MOVIE!!! animated tho not real life, real life movie of some books/cartoons suck just look at how bad dragonball evolution sucked it completely ruined Dragon Ball/ Z/ GT!!!

[kevinlimwangli]

johnny depp should play skulldugery

[sesshomarusamarocks]

@kevinlimwangli totally either that or robbert downy jr.



[musichead32]

i think she'd be ok bbut even though i know it would never happen i would LOVE to be Val in the movies but it probably won't happen.......... =) =D

[heatherthestarkitten]

if it was for the fourth book she would be great

[scream44evr]

No. She's not good for the part. She's way too old.

[webgeek198]

@scream44evr i dont know they made judy garland (who was like 20) look 14 in wizard of oz and katey perry looked 13 in tgif i think its possible

[StrawberryAkito]

I don't get why so many people say that Dakota is ugly...

Honestly, I actually think she has a very pretty face. But it's good to see that tastes vary.

I think she'd make a great Stephanie Edgley. I've loved all the books and she comes very close to what I've imagined Steph to look like.

[JohnJsHogo]

are u mad shes gorgeous

[vintageX1]

Oh yeah!!! :L This is perfect!

[Lucardos98]

she seems good but not really the right age for someone at the start of the series maybe in more of the recent ones but not tough enough I wouldn't say she is perfect for her even then she just doesn't seem right and they aren't making it an annimation as far as I know but I've heard Johnny Dept will be playing the voice of Skullduggery

[Thenewzboyof2000]

Needs to be stronger

[MissDeMurf]

(hahaha) yeah, NO !

[taylorsbab]

no. i'm going to be valkyrie.

[mranything233]

i agree with fantasylady2907 and she is kinda 2 old for val but the rest is perfect

[Fantasylady2907]

i think, it's not bad, but Dakota Blue Richards is a little bit too sweet and pretty... stephanie's actor must look a bit stronger i think ;)

[halohali32]

love the picture at 0:19..i think she is quite beautiful...my dad thinks we are twins because we look alike and have the same exact birthday lol

[RobinWing2499]

Excellent idea! Problem is, she [dakota] smiles too wide! lol

[flintstar2]

creepy

[SPStephanie]

There is gonna be a movie and actually im gonna play Stephanie

[DeflorationTV]

Oh boy! She is soooo cuteeee soooo beaaauuuuutiiiiifuuuuuuuulllll­!!!Hot, nice sweet! And with a so soo natural beauty!.

[Flummiification]

i don't like the video but the actress would be a good choice .just how she looks like

[Predator4681]

Who the hell do you think you are chloe mortez should play valkrie Cain you moron

[Chokoteru]

she's way to skinny... Steph is meant to be slender, but she is still a "Valkyrie". I can't imagine this girl fighting and punching someone

[GhettoStar66]

she looks so cute

[Colin55567]

agreed she fits the description of steph perfectley

[890bumblebee]

@nushnaut No Problem And Thanks :)

[890bumblebee]

@nushnaut We All Wish We Could I Suppose At Least I Do Anyway Cause Im Alot Like Her Myself But Dont Say Your Not Good Enough Im Sure Your Really Good At Actiing And Your Like Her !

[CrazyCheeseBoyz]

did anyone else notice shes english?

[TELFORD88]

i think shes georgeous :) and im a guy anyways whats the name of the song?

[datebayobunshin]

@TELFORD88 the song is called Shattered by Trading Yesterday ^^

[MrFletcherrenn]

it should be chloe moretz.

[miguro]

Sorry to break this to ya mate, but i think she is to old to play a twelve year old, sorry.

[Izicain]

Exactly, this is the problem when you dont get one man to design a book cover, but there is already a movie made. Derek Landy doesnt want to release it becasue he is also ill and too much headache of writing and blog posting. He said the film wont be released till: 2014!

[McCormick691]

i think sleana gomez would make a betther steph

[derekturbo2009]

What's hard about picking someone to be Steph is that she always changes her look.Compare the cover of Playing With Fire to the cover of The Faceless Ones.You can easily see the difference in her and even Skulduggery.

[Keverblair]

she is fierce so she could possibly be the one

[PinkBunnyMiss]

shes 2 ugly to be Steph. Steph is ment to be pretty. look at the book cover and u will see what she is ment to look like. but anyway, the way the video is made really shows ur opinion well, although i do disagree x

[datebayobunshin]

@PinkBunnyMiss Thank U very much =)

[TheskIsMyName]

@PinkBunnyMiss Your a dick... just cause she's famous, she does actually still take offence to stuff like this, everyone does. And she's infact quite good looking.

[PinkBunnyMiss]

@TheskIsMyName its just my opinion

[inaomi11]

OMFG R U KIDDING well that's kinda ..... Depressing I alway thought I had the looks and personality IDIOTS!........:( Fuk u

[krystabelleify]

I guess she kinda looks the part but i dont think she looks fierce enough.

[fantageisawesome194]

I KNOW RIGHT :)

[SimounAngel]

Isabelle Fuhrman is younger and kind of looks like the girl from the book x) she's 14 but looks young enough lol

[VereBennoda]

Goood :)

[rOcKcHiCk1062]

at 1:38 her plait looks much shorter than it was in dustbin baby, was the plait she wore it that film fake? Also, anyone know what that flower thing was that was braided into her plait in that film?

(Sorry this isn't related to the topic, but really want to know!) X

[otakupandaa]

Yeah she FITS the character. But that's it I guess. She's 16 though :/ I'm 12 xD my turn my turn!!

[GothicAngel13100]

DAKOTA NEEDZ 2 BE STEPHANIE!!!! i friggin luv her (NO HOMO!!) and i heard that johhny depp iz gunna be Skulduggery........AWESOME!!!!

[KDMisery]

By judgement of her appearance alone, I think she'd make a good Stephanie/Valkyrie.

[CrimsonCru]

i think dakota doesnt fit too much, i mean, firstly, shes 16 not 12........but then again, there are a lot of resemblance in them, except hair color....and they probably wont be acting, i think it would be an animation

[datebayobunshin]

@CrimsonCru yes ur right shes to old ... xD

but it won´t be animated ... Derek Lady once said that there will be real action and no animation =)

[MrBenH123]

@datebayobunshin Animation would be dissapointing :( I want real acting and a top class film for all the great books he has written!

[VioletAmethyst7124]

@CrimsonCru I think that it wont be animation, but only 2 more years to go until we see!

[IndianaJonas96]

@CT9AEII Wow. You're a bit of a waste of space arent you?

[Wonderland891]

She's the perfect Valkyrie.

[worshipme513]

I think they should use an unknown for the casting of Valkyrie. Sort of like they're going to use an unknown for Katniss in the Hunger Games movie. :)

[zaelon6]

no way

[Skulduggery951]

The movie is coming in 2013. My God. I shudder to imagine what she'll look like then.

great person. A tear shed for an amazing person once perfect for an amazing character lost.

[Aceofdrumandbass]

@Skulduggery951 HOLY SHIT ARE U KIDDING, I've always wanted the books to become a film, are they showing one of the books or are they continuing were Derek Landy left off?

[EdwardCullen8290]

Does anyone know when and where the Stephanie Edgley auditions are taking place?? x

[sweetdynamiite]

yh but thats the magic of movies....people can look younger than they acc are ... so theres still a chance :D fingers crossed :D

[intwentyseconds]

jst read d new 1, mortal coil its sooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lolaSmilexD]

and stefanie is in the first book 12 so... shes to old!!!

[mh3]

Oh my God. She looks like she's grown ten years since Golden Compass.

[ClipDJo]

now, she's to old. That's true but i think she would have been the best stephanie edgley. In the moment i don't know a good substitute

[ChaOSforEver777]

i dont think she would be good for as Stephanie Edgley!

[Izicain]

@ChaOSforEver777 me too, she's quite a lazy acress as said at the Oscar Movie awards back stage coz she only got 1 nomination award. COME ON NOMINATED!

[JayLynnization]

Okay I agree she is perfect. I really like her as Ste...I mean Valkerie. The age really shouldn't matter I mean they had people in there mid 20 or less play as teenagers, because they look the part. So Dakota does too. She fits the part, I like her. I'm not worried much about how Stephanie/Valkerie look,but if they don't Skulduggery right I will kill.

[KKiacho]

she'd be awesome:D

[SuperBuecherwurm1]

=D yep

[xxPiratePrincessxxx]

Hmm..she would make an alright Val, but we all know who Skulduggery is....

DAVID TENNANT!!!!

[gaspcheesey]

wats the song in this video???

i have the last book its so good

[Skulduggery951]

She's just PERFECT for Valkyrie! Shame she's too old now. =(

And the movie's coming out in... 2013!! OMG! A long wait, though... Aww.

[Skulduggery951]

She's just PERFECT for Valkyrie! Shame she's too old now. =(

[RebbyRebel22]

she really looks the part, but how can you make her look 12 years old again?

[TheImaginaryKiki]

I really Acctually agree with you!! She would be perfect!!!

[starlight101angel]

oohh she's so pretty and she does look a lot like Valkyrie!! I think it would be nice if she would play in the Skulduggery Pleasant series as well. I heard that they're going to try to get Johnny Depp to be SP- and that would be awesome as well!! =D

[Kit572]

@starlight101angel But johnneh aint' irish.

Wait, is he?

[starlight101angel]

@Kit572 well, I'm actually not sure, =/ But I still say he'd make a good SP =)

[Kit572]

@starlight101angel well, just found out he can put on any accent so u might be right.

[starlight101angel]

@Kit572 oh thats good =) I'd love to see him play the part!!

[Jascha1995]

hOW OLD IS SHE

[datebayobunshin]

@Jascha1995 Shes 16 AND TO EVERYONE yes thats to old now for stephanie but no matter what ... i still would love her beeing stephanie... thats what i always imagined when i read the books... ^^

[Molly4thJuly]

@datebayobunshin but my friend is 16 and she's down to the last few now for the role of Stephanie.. so she didn't not get it cause she's too old, she just wasn't good enough.

[Molly4thJuly]

@datebayobunshin but my friend is 16 and she's down to the last few now for the role of Stephanie.. so she didn't not get it cause she's too old, she just wasn't good enough.

[datebayobunshin]

@Molly4thJuly hey cool ... so the castings are over already? :)

[BB123ish]

you know who would make a good tanith low.......... that blonde chearleader from hell cats

[Arussigma]

i kinda argree

[leonsnumber1girl]

but she's to old

[129POISON]

may work if she looks like at 1:42, but she looks too inocent and sweet when she smiles

[SuperBuecherwurm1]

i think, nobody wants to wait such a long time...but i think also, that the movie will be great =)

[RebaXLee]

I heard the movie was going to come out sometime in 2013... I don't wanna wait that long!

[FunkmasterAce01]

She would make a good stephanie...

[yodadizzy]

She would only suit this part if she had a good Irish accent

[Ollive142]

look, the charactor Valkyrie is going to somebody who isnt famous... it said so in dereks blog. There are so many people out there who are gonna audition for this amazing role (including me). even though... we dont know when the dates are yet.... but seriously... Valkyries roll is going to an un-famous person okay??? im trying not to be rude.... but seriously, i dont think she would make a good Valkyrie. Dont judge a book by its cover.

[theindecisiveness]

Personally, I don't really think she looks that much like Stephanie.

If she can act like her or not, I can't say, but for the sheer resemblance, I think there are better options.

[MilaMango108]

She would be a deadly Stephanie :D

Ashley greene should play Tanith :D

[TreestumpFilms]

The movie Will be made as a youtube project to be released late 2010. Become a fan on facebook!

[brokentreeswing]

OK dakota's filming career has already taken off so someone like Leigh White ( search her on youtube ) who is irish and does look like her would fit perfectly! sorry dakota :)

[EmmerzLovesYou]

warner bros own the rights for the film, i cant wait for it to be made into a movie they are such good books :)

[MungretLass]

I think someone Irish should be given a chance. The book is set in dublin after all.

However, she would probably be a good Stephanie.

[321myself]

isnt Steph 12?

she is perfect for the role but she is to old.

nice vid

[patrico1212]

@CDWZCvp5 you just ruined dark days for everyone by saying darquesse you retard!!

[xpirateEmmax]

they will be making a movie im so happy derek said so himself in an interview, but im not sure when its out as he need to get the script and things ready,

this girl seems too old...

[demoa003]

yuck no, shes cute! but she wont make a stephanie edgley, she doesnt look like her, and i dont think she capable of taking that role AND they will ruin skulduggery pleasant by a film... every film based on a book is CRAP if you havent noticed e.g: northern lights (golden compass)

[SuperBuecherwurm1]

cool thx =D

[SuperBuecherwurm1]

WHAT? there is a MOVIE? which date? omg

[datebayobunshin]

@SuperBuecherwurm1 I made this video bevore i knew that there would be a movie.... but there will be... i read this somewhere and theyll make a movie ... i dont know if its true but it seemed to be real.----- :):):)

[jonasklj]

@datebayobunshin It has been confirmed that they are making a movie

[datebayobunshin]

@jonasklj Hey cool....thank u for the Information.... ^^ thats great !!

[Kit572]

@jonasklj Im desperate to know who the cast is.

[00Absolution00]

@SuperBuecherwurm1

the movie is planned for 2013!...

[AwwwAwesamNumNumNum1]

@SuperBuecherwurm1 sometime in 2013 i hope its worth the wait!!! XD

[chenelle97]

@SuperBuecherwurm1 Yeh mitee be comin out,, wiv the director of Steven Spielberg check on wikipedia :]

[skulprox]

ses a little too old to play valkyrie?

[martyndavey]

dakota is my one true hero and she cant be eney better thane she is so let her be she,s my hero

[darlixjaffa]

no, they need an irish girl, cause the book is set in dublin

[dudleland]

Listen follower readers of up to book 4 :

At the end of Dark Days ; 'Stephine is darkise'

She is but she is not...

Her reflection has been getting ... 'emotions'....Stephanie is not darkise but HER REFLECTION IS!

What do you think? Reply to this comment and give me your opinion ;)

[Animegirl829]

No, I don't think so, she dosn't realy look like her that much, it's close, but I don't think she's a good Stephanie. She's missing some qwalitys of her. Do you know when the movie is coming out?

[madcow898]

i think it might just kill me to see anyone else but who i picture in my head as valkyrie, i mean i have the same coat :P that doesnt protect me from much more then wind :L

[can2004yon]

thank you for a well done video!!!!!!

[MaLilPwny]

dont be stupid, stephenie is 12 in the book! tttwweeelllvvveee!!!!!!!!!! this chick looks about 20 lulz :P they should have an 11/13 year old girl play the part..... not dakota blue richards lol shes 16............ ur dumb

[JimmyKavanaghTV]

Yeah, she does look a lot like Stephanie, but Stephanie is only 12 in the first book, and she's about 15 or 16.... plus she's got an English accent, and Stephanie is supposed to be Irish.

[chocolatetheresa98]

She is waaay to old. 12 yr olds don't look like that.

[123123c123]

she dont look like Stephanie =(((

got to agree she's a good actress though

[halofan6857]

i think she should play Stephanie in Skulduggery Pleasant

shes like perfect for the part

[raikenable]

DaKot@!!! wiSh we will be toGetHer!! 4Ever!!! ^_^

[Costinhascp24]

oh... ok sorry! but thanks!

[Costinhascp24]

look

the name of the song isn't the same music that is in the video.

something is wrong.

[datebayobunshin]

@Costinhascp24 it is the same Song.... i cut the original song from 5min13sec.... so now it starts from the middle ... ?^^

[Costinhascp24]

what's the name of the song, please?~

and the video it's very good, and I am exciting to watch the film of the Skulduggery Plesant! ;)

[milesxofxsmilesx]

You havfe a point - She looks like she can play the part, She would make a good Stephanie

[cmwish999]

I agree

[DarkAngel29996]

how old is hse cause if she is more than 14 she wouldnt fit unless they dont go with the age groups of charctersw but still great choice

[can2004yon]

happy birthday dakota!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[martyndavey]

dakota as hadi she rocks me

[CreepyDollx]

I think Dakota would make an excellent Stephanie. I loved her in the Golden Compass. =)

[uhicantremember]

Valkyrie is not that tall....

[starlight101angel]

That was awesome and I love that song and video!! You're right- Dakota really does look like Stephanie(Valkyrie)!! That would be AWESOME if she got the part! I haven't seen Golden Compass, but I heard that Dakota is a good actress, and she fits this part well!! ;)

[ZzzMyself]

I am not thinking so.

[mjmegafan223]

FUK I WANTED THAT ROLE

[AwwwAwesamNumNumNum1]

i think shed be awesome for valkyrie

[hole1991]

Uh, yeah I suppose. Actually, I could really see her as that character. She has got that thoughtful, wry, intense quality to her which would work. Good idea.

Though if I'm honest, I would like to see someone Irish and an unknown. Sorry for being awkward. It's just me being a bit closed-minded.

[JoShPEt1993]

What song is this ? Plzzz replyyyy :) thnkies

[datebayobunshin]

@JoShPEt1993 Shattered by Trading Yesterday ;)

[can2004yon]

happy birthday dakota!!!!!!!!!!

[can2004yon]

happy birthday dakota!!!!!!!!

[h204eva]

Hmmm.... She looks a bit like how I pictured Valkyrie, but I think with black hair instead. Yes, I know you can use hair dye, but it just won't look as right as natural :| Also, I don't know if it was the poor adaption of the book, but the film didn't let her show off her skills, and so I don't have a very high expectation of her. She may be a good actress, I haven't seen her in The Secret of Moonacre, but in the Golden Compass, I didn't think she was the best Lyra there could have been. :) xx

[hole1991]

@h204eva

Honestly, I think she could've probably overacted a bit more. Her Lyra was very good, don't get me wrong, but it was a little too mature and restrained and not brash enough to be entirely Lyra the savage.

However, regarding Valkyrie Cain, I think she could play that character. She is a bit more rational-headed and mature. So maybe.

[lucashillpaul]

hmmm, maybe but... SHE'S NOT IRISH!! skulduggery is set in IRELAND!

[wellzakkinit]

OMG, yes

[TheLonelyHappyMeal]

and that guy who is a tailer and gets stuck in something because skullduugery cast an earth spell in the second book should be that guy morphius from the matrix

[yomiuriboy]

DakotaBlue №1!

[minimitchie]

she's pretty, might act good... but for Stephanie.. NO. Maybe we need to wait or look for a ( unfamous ) girl.

[Onlybirdsandmice]

she looks just like i imagined her wen readin the book

[MissMaddiJean]

no way!! she looks far too girly. Dakota could NOT play her

[shortuf0]

i realy think that stephenie should REALLY be played by someone who is actuallly irish coz seriously ive herd alot of ppl try to talk with an irish acsent and no1 has come close to it ive heard austrlians, americans, canadians, kiwis and even italians and nothin

[EmzoCullen]

i like it. but honestly, i think an IRISH stephenie would be better

[nathanclark11]

imagine valkyrie-stephanie as stephanie andd sometimes as my dadsgirlfriends daughter bethony who looks like her

[yomiuriboy]

Dakota is nice actress.

very very very like Dakota! Wow!!!

[tergmaster]

i think she could do a good tanith low

[KiiRa232]

of course Dakota is pretty, but Stephanie is 12 years old in the 1st book/movie and Dakota ist 16...

[KiiRa232]

and Steph isn't the beautiful, girlielike girl. she's a action girl, she's fighting. dakota is to ary I think

[XxYamiNoEnzeruxX]

I think it would fit stephany well, the young look and the miscivous way she does in the golden compass. Her personality fits well.

[katy25o]

dakota is really good looking but i don't think that she is like stephenie edgley.i've read all t5he books and i imagined her not like dakota..i mean..sure dakota is pretty but not for this movie....i think someone else should play stephenie edgely
