Okay, a couple of you think that last blog of mine opened a new subject that wasn’t very interesting. That’s fine, no problem, I just come up with stuff that interests me…but I’m up for you people to pick your own topics. So - let’s go with Clare’s idea: if The Faerie Path was made into a movie, who would you want to act the main parts?
Movie Actors

I think tania should be played by the girl on the cover
Yeah i think so to
I think you should get some actors/actresses from different countries you know some that might actually live in London.
Indiana Evens should play Cordelia and Pheobe Tonkin should play Tania if the cover of the book girl isn’t an actress. And Angus Mclaren should play Edric. honestly right now there would only be one movie the first book, connor doesn’t come until the fourth so there is plenty of time.
I think Edric should be portrayed by Riley Smith, I think he would be perfect for Edric. What do you think?
Also, for Gabriel Drake, a perfect guy to portray him would be: Nathaniel Parker, like he is in “The Haunted Mansion.” He is the perfect Gabriel, in my opinion.
I kind of think that this is an interesting subject, sorry if i am using some people from Clare’s list but here is my list:
Tania: Rachael Hurd Wood ; Lindsay Lohan; Bonnie Wright; Jojo (the singer) with redder hair and green eyes
Connor: (definetly not the draco malfoy guy..) alex pettyfer;
Edric: William Moseley; Lucas Grabeel
Rathina: Megan Fox w/h brown contacts or Alexis Bledel w/h brown contacts ( i know she is too old and only a singer but Katy Perry kind of reminds me of Rathina)
Sancha:Victoria Justice, Demi Lovato, or Selena Gomez
Hopie: Alexis Bledel
Zara: Sara Paxton
Eden: this is weird but maybe Megan Fox with dyed white hair
so, what do other people think???
Allan Frewin Jones again. I’m still trying to find out the name of the model who posed for the covers - I’ll let you know as soon as I do. Also, while you’re thinking about the movie - do you have any singers or bands who you think should sing/write/perform the theme music?
if they make all the books into movies then a good song for the fourth one like when Tania, Rathina, and Connor are on there adventure would be “Think of Me” from the Phantom of the Opera. ooh and they should show like you know when Tania was talking to connor and starts crying then it should show her faded and edric faded. that would be to me romantic and nice and such.
Tania- Bonnie Wright
Gabriel Drake- Orlando Bloom
Edric- Robert Pattinson or Cody Linnly
Oberon- Michael Gambert(Dumbledore) with darker hair
Zara- Dakota Fanning
Eden- Pauley Perrette
Hi again, I have some new ideas for the actors/actresses for the main characters:
Gabriel Drake: Taylor Lautner or Charlie Cox
Cordelia: ??????
Zara: Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen ( what happened to them anyways???)
I see that Addie is a fan of Australian actors (lol)
I think that to get the roles, some people will have to dye their hair and wear color contact hehe
I t
oh and the music…
well, i would but something alternative, like coldplay? one republic?
keane? i think the song bittersweet symphony by The Verve would be nice……
Here are some suggestions:
the song Poker Face by Lady Gaga would play when Tania (hopefully) dumps Edric for Connor
the song Love Game by Lady Gaga would play when Connor tries to make a move on Tania (haha)
the song My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson would come on if …ew…..Tania goes back to Edric ( tho i dont want that to happen)
the song Crystal Ball by Keane comes on sometime in the movie
it would be hilarious if when Gabriel Drake comes up in the movie, Michael Jackson’s song BAD would come on !!!
Paramore songs are cool, too!!
also, from metro station’s song 17 Forever should come on sometime in the movie ( when Tania is 17 with Connor!!!! That would be sooo cute)
Yah, i also agree with Carolina and Addie that the girl on the cover really, really should play Tania
ttyl
Sorry about writing soooo much, but i have a cool idea….wouldnt be awesome if someone made a youtube video on the Farie series????!!!!????!!!!
um i think a movie is still a great idea but i like the way i picture it in my head so im against the whole movie idea
I like everyone’s ideas. Paramore is a good band. Mr. Jones, are you going to post any excerpts from book 5 anytime soon?
Faith, Nathaniel Parker is to old to play Drake now. but he would have been.
AFJ here. In answer to Zoey’s question, I’m planning on posting chapter one 1st October this year, and chapter two 1st December - then the book itself will be out 1st February next year.
Kristen Stewart– Rathina
i think they should definetly use britih actors and on question if titania looks exactly like tania who’s gonna play her?
obviously i can’t spell i meant british that would be halarious if they did play those songs selena and they play halo when edric saves tania and rathina in the mortal world and then suddenly stops when he admits that he used the dark arts. Oy my gosh if they played one republics all we are when edric leaves on the ship that would be adorable.
(!) This is awesome! I’m thinking William Mosely for Connor and the guy that plays Arthur in Merlin for Edric. I’m still looking up stuff for the others.
By the way, I’m going to try and make a fan trailer for it. I did one for Brisingr the other night and it was alot of fun! I’ll post it when I’m done. =)
why are you choosing people that are like 30 for 18 year olds honestly
I really need to get a life. all i do is sit on the computer and wait for new posts and stuff to be up.
hey, i just remembered.. Chase Crawford should be Edric!!!!
Well, what do you people think of my ideas???????
wouldnt that be cool if they actually made this book into a movie and used some of our suggestions?? (probably not a big chance of that, tho)
oh and they should play apologize when tania clicks her heels (from the wizard of oz) and says “I long for you edric, llets run away together” and he totally rejects her. oh yeah and in the won’t go home without you video by maroon 5 edric should like totally change his mind and then he comes back he sees her with connor. oh and when tania rejects edric’s proposal they should play put a ring on it by beyonce. And at the battle in book 3 they should play never say never by the fray and somewhere in one of the movies they should play hot and cold cuz really thay all act kinda bipolar not like the actual disease but moodswings and all. and in book one when tania comes back for edric in the dungeon they should play bleeding love and when oberon is kicked off the thrown they canplay viva la vida and it would be funny if somehow they played damaged by danity kane cuz edric damager her heart and connor can fix it like in the lyrics yah………
What about if you could design a dress for the model on the cover “Tania” what would it be like. Color, design, style.
AFJ. I really liked Addie’s poems - anyone else have any poems or lyrics or stuff that they think would work in a Faerie Path context?
I was also interested in her comment about choosing 30 year old actors for 18 year old viewers. It made me wonder something: this is not a new topic, I’d just be interested in your opinions - what age group do you think The Faerie Path is aimed at? With the people who contact me on MySpace I can usually find out their ages - so I do have some stats about the age-range of people reading these books - but I’d be interested in what you guys think before I post them.
i think the age group should be more aimed at teens, so its not like harry potter when the romance doesn’t come in until later in the series but it’s throughout the series and in some ways it’s probally too gory (book three) or violent for young children
I know i totally feel for you addie,All my friends are away so this is now my social life.
and chace crawford edric has blonder hair maybe he could dye it……….
but yeah i could totally see him as edric with lighter hair of couse
i think the Faerie Path books are aimed for ages 12 to 17 (at the most)
…..18???? wow and I thought i was too old .hehe.
WOW Carolina, u DO have a lot of ideas of songs!!!
here is my list of characters/actors:
Tania: Georgie Henley(Lucy from Narnia ….she grew so much!!); Lindsay Lohan is alright, but she better dye her hair back to red, or Cassi Thompson …….HEY CAROLINA, Bonnie Wright and Rachael Hurd Wood have red hair AND are BRITISH ACTRESSES , Just fyi
Rathina: Megan Fox or……Victoria Justice???
Sancha: Selena Gomez or JoJO (joanne levesque)
Hopie: definetely Alexis Bledel
Zara: Sara Baxton; Anna Sophia Robb
Eden: Madonna, Gwen Stefani, or Draco Malfoy’s dad
Connor: Tom Felton or Alex Pettyfer
Edric: William Moseley or Cody Linley (ew)
and for music…
I liked other people’s ideas on music and i personally like one republic too…..
sorry if i wrote down the same actors its because people like Carolina, Addie, and Selena gave a lot of ideas which is pretty cool XD
For the songs……..
uh everyone had great ideas, i am too tired to think……
TOTBL ( talk on this blog later)
darn, i just realized that i said “and for the music…” and then repeated it by saying “and the songs” or something like that..
sorrry, as you can see i am kind of out of it……
HI
Kristen Stewart - Tania
Robert Pattinson - Edric
Elizabeth Reaser - Queen Titania
Kate Higgins - Zara
Sara Paxton -Eden
Anne Hathaway -Hopie
Tania - Taylor Swift
Rathina - Selena Gomez
Edric - Chad Micheal Murphy, Taylor Lautner, or Jackson Rathorne
Gabriel - Joe Jonas or Robert Pattinson
Queen Titania - Melissa Jo Hart
Eden - Anne Hathaway
King Oberon - Joey Lawrence or Mario Lopez
Hopie - Emma Watson

Yes I understand that some of these people are singers but… -shrugs-
EVERYONE mostly girls from the ages of 8-20
If my five year old Cousin could read she would read it.
I started reading it to her and she loved it.
AFJ. Okay, here are the stats for readership of The Faerie Path books:
25% of readers are between 12 and 16 years old.
50% of readers are between 17 and 26 years old.
15% of readers are between 27 and 36 years old.
10% of readers are 37 years old or older - the oldest I know of being in her 50s.
So - does that mean the movie should be a “family” movie - or a “teen romance” or aimed for 20-somethings, or what?
Addie I love your idea about adding think of me in the background music! The Phantom of the Opera is the best musical/play ever!
I would say Family
If you were rating it in the movies, the first one i would say
G
second one
PG
third one
PG
fourth one
G
fifth one
???
Teen romance/family. The first one isn’t really that bad, but I don’t think they should “water down” the battle scenes in the later books just so little kids can watch it.
why is everyone picking people for connor? he doesn’t come in ’til the 4th book so there is no point in that now…
Exactly that’s what i was trying to say before on August fifth at the top

There’s the link for the video! =) I know some of the people don’t match very well but oh well. I did another one with “Stop and Stare” by One Republic on it and youtube took off the sound.
I’m going to make a book video for the fourth book later.
Let me know what you think! =)
I haven’t even read that far yet…
teen romance definetly from pg-13 to pg
just one note- just because the actresses for tania have red hair and are british doesn’t mean they’re features match hers or they’re figure or skin tone or eyecolor matches tania. saying that if they have red hair and are british doesn’t mean they can play tania anybody can dye their hair red and fake a british accent does that mean they could play her too?
i watched the video……….legalus for king oberon? realy i couldn’t picture that
