Moning Maniacs discussion

I can totally see Hayden as Mac and Gerard would be perfect for Barrons!

I don't know who Darroc is, I haven't read Faefever and Dreamfever yet but this V'Lane does have a certain cockiness about him so that's good.

Ok, so I follow this forum religiously but I rarely post but

OH MY GOD!

a MOVIE!!!! How cool

Eric Etebari is beautiful. He can play whatever he wants in my book! LOL

I couldn't resist. LOL Btw, I love your title "Barron's lost wife"

nice!!!!

the other two would work, but please no Julian McMahon for barrons. my first choice is still joe(alicide;true blood) for barrons.

i think i would perfer kristen bell to Hayden Panettiere if it was just those two competing for the role of mac.

I love this series and would love to see it turned into a movie. I think Eric Etebari would be the best pick of the three for Barrons.

im so happy wit the movie news! i cant wait til we get real confirmation wit who the actors will be, the release date and everything...this has gotten me very excited!

OMG! a movie would be soooo great! I hope they pick it up. Now I'm torn between Joe & Gerard as Barrons. I love them both.

Now McMahon's been the one I've always pictured as Barrons-didn't even know he was in the running.

Sad news. Optioning a movie usually means giving up your rights to those characters so no side books.

omgomgomg !! i definitely perfer kristen bell but i don't know if i love Charlie Bewley for v'lane but maybe that's because when i read it v'lane is unhumanly hot and no one can compare lol

OMG HOW COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL

I always pictured Travis Fimmel as V'lane..so I'm with you there.

I think they would have a hard time doing it justice but I'd still love to see a movie.

i dont think any movie could top the books, but yea i'd love to see a movie outta this series!

I think Kristen bell would be a better Mac.

I love Julian McMahon, but he may be a bit too pretty to be Barrons. And while the other two choices are hot, Butler in particular, I still think they look a little too old. I too prefer Kristen Bell for Mac. I personally feel Hayden would look WAY too young with the choices for Barrons. Just my opinion...

I'm not too crazy about either choice for Mac. They could come up a better choice. Just cause they're petite and blond doesn't mean they are the right choice. Or maybe it's because I wanna be Mac. lol But really I'de like to see other candidates.

I agree, Silvia. I think someone who is not so well known might be best.

i love unknown actors b/c we would not reconize them from anything and we would always see them, reconize them in their role for this. i dont mind kristen bell, but hayden is wayyyyy too young and plus from her acting i dont think she would be good for the part, but i would also like to see more candidates for both characters. im not too crazy wit all of the barrons choices honestly, maybe b/c i still see joe(true blood) in my mind for barrons.

This is awesome news, this would be the best movie ever.

i knoe, but even if hayden looks to young i still wouldnt want her for mac, kristen does look very young still to me and looks much better the part.

LV, you are right but I think with KB vs HP KB offers the ability to grow if there is more than one movie, however I don't see HP being ableto grow with the role. I don't know if there is another actress out there that could fit the role

in my opnion, ive seen hayden's acting and i honestly feel she is not rite for this role. and i also agree that kristen would be able to grow more wit each movie.

OMG Hayden killed as Lizzie on ATWT. She is a great actress but I am not sure I could picture her as Mac but definately no to Kriten!!! Come on Mac has to have some edge to her. I want an unknown for Mac. I also think that Cam- from Twilight would make a great Barrons (died hair) or Darroc. I like Joe (Alcide) from True Blood but I am afraid he is not a very strong actor. I think that Gerard Butler is way too old to play Barrons- who is 30. I think they need to do the Twilight thing and go with more unknowns if they do a movie.

that is most true. a movie would always turn out better wit unknown actors which i hope wit all my mite they do that for the fever series movie. b/c it could be a big surprise that there r actors we dont knoe out there that could be perfect for the part.

I don't think either of the actress make me think of Mac. Kristen Bell doesn't look smoking hot as a brunette (and Hayden would look silly I think), and I almost picture Mac as transforming into this hot badass when she goes to dark hair.

I want an unknown for Mac as well.. Kristen and Hayden are fine actresses and they're pretty, but they're not Mac to me. If I absolutely HAD to pick one, I'd go with Kristen, but I think we need someone who can play original Mac well, cute, spunky, girly, but then totally transform into badass! I don't know who that would be, that's why I'd like to see someone fresh. I haven't done a re-read yet because I'm waiting until closer to the release...someone please, help me remember Darroc! That is aweful, but everytime he comes up in a thread, I can't remember exactly his role??? I know V'lane, Barrons, the other cute Irish guy( can't remember name right now, Christian, right?), but Darroc has just slipped right out of there.

Oh...and for Barrons. The picture earlier in this thread for Eric Etebari is totally how I would imagine him. I didn't remember him being that attractive in Witchblade, maybe because he was crazy and he had all that facial hair??? Anyway, someone like him would be great. Rugged, but refined with smoky eyes, a deep husky voice and built, but not bulgy (except where it counts...I'm bad!)

Darroc was part of the the queens high Council he tried to over throw the queen and release the unseelie.
It didn't work and was turned to human. He is attempting to do it again.
He was alinas boyfriend.

Yeah, I always agreed with Kristen Bell as Mac until I did my rereads and realized she would be dark haired for a majority of the movie which wouldnt suit her, but honestly, I am against the idea of an unknown in the part.

i knoe. she is lovely as a blonde, but no, why cant she also be just as beautiful as a burnette. ugh

Ok...Thank you, I can't believe I forgot that now! I'm definitely going to have to do some re-reading before February. The excerpts so far have been pretty vague, but they confuse me...I feel like I've forgotten much of the story line. It has been since last September that I read them, so that makes sense.

so this was poster KKM in her forums where i was checking out movie news:

In fact, I feel very differently than I did a few years ago about letting the Fever series being done for film or television. It is no longer under option with 20th Century Fox and I'm not shopping it. If the right fit comes along in terms of production, vision, actors, great but since I've finished Shadowfever, I feel pretty complete, LOL. It's much more important to me that it's done WELL than that it's done.

That being said...the graphic novel is going to be awesome. The visual representation will be true to my vision. I have full consultation with the artist and just finished a 55 page treatment on the settings and characters.

I am with you Lady Vale, but at the same time sometimes movies ruin what your mind has created

i agree wit KKM about not wanted movie people ruin wht she created in book world, b/c there is no way i would want it to turn out like twilight or true blood but i do hope that she finds a movie company/producer that is the rite fit for the fever series i would really like to see this onscreen.

i knoe. i think we all agree we dont want this movie ruined like some movies from book out there. i honestly rather they dont make a movie if its not made best to their ablility. i hope somebody comes around that can make it great though.

I love this cast! I had no idea they were thinking of maybe making a movie!!! How exciting :D

i hope that it does up end getting made.

OH NO! That's sad news.

I just saw Kristen Bell as a brunette for the movie Burlesque, and she looks great! It is too bad that she may be too old for the movie if it ever gets made. :(

That is sad, I was looking forward to a movie, but I didn't know that there was going to be a graphic novel! That's pretty cool.

I hope it is made into a movie. Even though most movies don't compare to the books, I love to get a little more of my obession not only in books, but in a movie too!

I think it would interesting to see the Fever series as a cartoon. I feel the same way about the Kate Daniel's series. Live action has alot of limitations even with CGI. I just think it would be neat to see these characters animated.

The Fever series would be an amazing story to play out on the big screen.. I hope that things work out. Regarding the cast.. out of all the suggestions for Barrons, I have to agree that Joe Alicide would be the best fit. I like Eric Etebari, but he just doesn't have the body that Barron's should have based on the descriptions in the books. I am also not a huge fan of Chris Cevic for Darroc, but he may grow on me. As for Mac.. of the two mentioned I prefer Kristen Bell, but the actress I pictured while reading the books was Katie Cassidy.

I've never seen Katie Cassidy, but I like her. She has more of the face I was picturing. Joe Manganiello (Alcide) is my favorite pick for Barrons.

Soo I totally butchered my cast picks name for Barrons.. can you tell I don't watch True Blood? Anyways.. my favorite Barrons pick from this thread is Joe Manganiello. He has the body and the dangerous yet sexual vibe needed to pull off JZB.
