Thanks Kyra and Rachel for hosting this fun bloghop!
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to post a photo of the actors or actresses you would like to play the characters in your WiP if it were to be made into a movie. It can be just one character, or the entire cast!
Secondly, soundtrack your movie! Head over to YouTube, and post a song that best describes one of your characters, or your story as a whole. Again, you can pick one song, or several, it's entirely up to you!
My Protector: The Calling
Pitch: When Eri becomes the first girl to receive the
Calling, an internal link to the man-eating beasts plaguing her planet, she
must use her inherited skills to stop the creatures from destroying everything
she loves.
Eri meets Finnley after they're both drawn out into the darkness by the Calling, ultimately forging a friendship once their secret bond is revealed. Grayson is the Protector who saved Eri from the claws of a beast when she was 14 and is later talked into helping her train thanks to Finnley's jabber mouth and undying loyalty to Eri.

I know, I'd need a time machine for these actors to play Finnley and Grayson, but the world inside my head does not comprehend such trivial limitations.
Who is running around in your head?
Now it's your turn to hop around and find out what characters are living inside other people's imaginations :)
Chloe Moretz is wonderful! Great choices for all of your cast, and your soundtrack. I'd never heard Eri's song before, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I do that too, cast younger versions of actors in my books. Psh, the laws of time and space do not apply to writers.
ReplyDeleteWe have an amazing ability to warp things :)
DeleteUmm, Paul Walker is PERFECT for Grayson. Yes please! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're a Grayson fan!
DeleteChloe would be perfect! And I can watch Paul play anyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle!
Deletebeautiful cast and sounds like it would make an exciting movie!
ReplyDeleteIt makes an exciting movie in my head, that's for sure!
DeleteI'd need a time machine for my dream cast too. Guess I should've written faster...
ReplyDeleteLOVE Mumford and Sons. So glad they're on your soundtrack list.
I have a few of their songs on my 'book soundtrack' :)
DeleteOh, yummy men you chose there lol
ReplyDeleteSuper yummy :)
DeleteIt's a fantasy. You can totally have a time machine! :) Nice cast. Thanks for playing along with us today!
ReplyDeleteReally fun bloghop!
DeleteOh my oh my oh my!!!!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you don't want to change Jen's name? I think it would be a big hit if she was named Cassie.
And I love the Flyleaf song. On my playlist too!
I really should have done that! I should have stolen your profile pic and put you under Jen :)
Deletethis was great! I love your girl pick, and the songs rock! And the guy are total hunks, so sounds like a greast cast :)
ReplyDeleteThis was fun to put together!
DeleteOoo, Paul Walker. Melty. And I love that song by Flyleaf!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cortney!
DeleteTaylor Kitsch has been a popular choice today.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'll have to see who else he is going to play :)
DeleteI love when people put a picture to the name! Is it crazy that I've never "cast" anyone in any of my books? It's just so daunting!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time picking Eri and Finnley cause they have always just been actions and emotions in my head. Now I have a face I can sort of put with them. Paul Walker has always been Grayson :)
DeletePAUL WALKER! <3
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that my brother kinda looks like him and I still think Paul is hot?
That's so funny! My husband throws that one out to me once in a while and it almost ruins Paul Walker for just a second :) My brother looks more like Matt Damon meets Josh Hartnett, and once I figured that out I can't look at either of them in a 'hot' way, I still think they're handsome though :) Wow, did I just call my brother handsome?
DeleteOh, Paul Walker is GREAT! I wanted you to know that I heard through the grapevine how awesome your story was. Now I can't remember who told me (Cassie? Emily?)
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks so much! That's so flattering :)
DeleteAwesome pitch! And I have always been a huge Flyleaf and Kings of Leon fan. You can't go wrong with Chloe and Taylor! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you ;)
DeleteDrool over Paul Walker! :) Can you believe I don't know the other two? How bad is that! :) lol I'd love to see some of your man-eating beasts though :)
ReplyDeleteThey're too scary to show :)
DeleteGreat pitch! You have awesome taste in music. I love all of these songs. And great character choices. I'm in love with Taylor Kitsch. I'm so happy he's in a new movie because he is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's super yummy :) John Carter looks entertaining, but I'm really looking forward to Battleship! Short haired Taylor Kitsch is really hot too! I guess he even has a Scorsese film coming up, he's on fire :)
DeleteI'm already regretting not being involved in this hop!!! :(
ReplyDeleteSo fun, Hope ;)
Also wanted you to know I gave a mini shout out/ thank you to you today on my blog :D <3 ya girl :D
Thanks Morgan! You're awesome ;)
DeleteI've always loved Paul Walker! There's an innocence about him and a vulnerability few actors possess! Good choice! ;)
ReplyDeleteI <33333 Paul Walker. Except in the movie Running Scared. He terrified me. But totally redeemed himself with Eight Below :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so crushing on Taylor Kitsch right now - considered him over and over again for my MC but he just didn't work. He's so hot. Great cast!
ReplyDeleteOh Hope I loved who you picked for Erin!! I also love her song. ;0) I can't wait to learn more about Grayson. He is on my schedule for tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePaul Walker has some beautiful eyes! I don't exactly know what he's been in, but he looks like a Finnley.
ReplyDeleteI almost resorted to the time machine for a few actors, but in the end didn't have to. I feel old because I don't know hardly any of these celebrities on all the blogs.
ReplyDeleteAh, I love Chloe! She's such a great actress! Your pitch is great!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... pictures and songs for everyone! You go girl! I love it. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love all three of these peeps. I just saw Taylor in John Carter and all I could think was Envogue's "what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man." ;) I would see your movie in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteTaylor Kitsch with long or short hair?
