Dream Cast

You know, it's been a while since I last started a fad that spanned the globe, so I thought it was about time to take another shot at it. So, here's my gift to all you blogger/writers: a meme wherein you detail who would play your characters in a movie and why. Have at it (and post a comment here if you do end up doing it - I'm interested in seeing the results).

For Blurred Line/Glistening Edges and Right Angles, here's who I'd cast (forgive the large number of characters and, depending on your screen resolution, the formatting):

From left to right: John Leguizamo as Rodney, badass loneboy. Leguizamo is a great actor and has played some pretty badass types in the past (see Carlito's Way). Jake Gyllenhaal as the isolated Regular. Another great actor, Gyllenhaal has both the look and the ability to portray the lonely gamer. Famke Janssen as the aimless and confused android Kat. Again, looks like Kat and has proved her acting ability in many indie flicks as well as summer blockbusters.

From left to right: Ashley Judd as Mel, harried robotics scientist at Summerstone. Judd has displayed a nice range and Mel, for a character who doesn't stick around that long, is relatively complex and something of an enigma. Jason Statham as Jeebs, badass British loneboy. I actually modeled Jeebs after Statham, so this selection was easy.

From left to right: Grace Park as Mia, badass lonegirl - girlfriend of badass loneboy Rodney. Park caught my attention on the new "Battlestar Galactica" and would fit perfectly. Naomie Harris as Nakato, protector of the free androids and black market entrepreneur. Harris was excellent in 28 Days Later and the toughness she displayed in that role would be perfect for Nakato.

From left to right: Campbell Scott as Crawford, leader of the android rights movement (and something else?). Scott can play "nice-guy" Crawford as well as whatever personality I attach to Crawford further down the line. Kirsten Dunst as Tweak, android black market entreprenuer - girlfriend of Nakato. Tweak is cute, but spurs along much of the action early on in the novel, so she's not just a one-dimensional character. Dunst would be perfect, but she'd have to dye her hair black.
