Another Awesome Novel That Needs to be Adapted

Title: Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan

I reviewed this book last year, and absolutely adored the combination of wit, Gothic romance and mystery.  I think this would make a fabulous film, especially with all the laugh out loud lines!  Casting-wise, I'm not very hip to all the young up and coming actors out there (now where did I put my false teeth) so I had to do a little search around for some actors that fit the descriptions of the characters - both in the book and in my head.  And I'm going to be a bit lazy and just cast the two main ones.  I usually advocate unknowns in the roles of movie adaptations though because it can showcase some exciting new talent.

It would be interesting to see how they pull off the inner dialogue between the mind-linked characters - though with how "The Host" did it, it will probably be pretty similar to that.

For the main character, Kami Glass, I came across a picture of Janel Parrish and I think she is so pretty!  She has done a bunch of contemporary young adult type TV shows, so I think she can play high school.  And I hope she can play smart and sassy and inquisitive, because that's pretty much Kami in a nutshell!   She could use a few more curves though, but hey, it's easy to gain weight! :D

Logan Lerman as Jared.  I haven't seen any of the Percy Jackson films, so I wasn't very familiar with Logan, until I saw a picture of him in a fancasting for another book, and thought he would make a great Jared!  Since he's Percy Jackson, I doubt he'd do another lead for a YA series, but it would be nice to see someone similar to him in the role: good-looking of course, but not un-approach-ably so, with boyish charm and someone who fits the age of the character!
