5 Blanks: Who I would like to see play the parts

As I mentioned before, I dreamed this before I wrote it.  In the dream, the character I called 'Nick' was played by Liam Neeson, however, that was in the dream. 

Nick:  Paul Giamatti suits the character physically and emotionally better than Liam - though I like Liam as an actor, his physicality doesn't match the super-brain Nick who is not a large raw-boned Irishman.  

I enjoyed Paul's performance in 'Lady In The Water' - sensitivity combined with a desire to help/serve a cause larger than himself.

Creed: has always been Chris Evans in my mind because he can do confident to the point of arrogance and at the same time, display subtle vulnerability.

The character needed someone who can play and look the part.   People asked me if  I would consider Matt Damon and the answer is no.  However, Hollywood has a lot of ideas that wouldn't line up with mine.


Christine:  The female character Chris is VERY important, but her looks are secondary because of what happens (several times) during the book.  Chris could be played, literally, by several women.  If you don't know what I'm talking about (how could several women play one character) read the book, pass it along, discuss it, and feel free to get back to me.

Leigh: This time, looks matter.  Leigh is supposed to be attractive, but I want someone to play her who can act and not just be eye candy.  I toyed with the idea of these women:  

Brooke Burns, 

Cheryl Cole, 

and Megan Fox.  

The only one I've seen in anything I've really liked is Brooke (The Most Wonderful Time of the Year).  Whoever is chosen has to be able to be versatile.

The rest of the characters are very much in the background.  These four are pivotal.

Preview: Book Cover for 5 Blanks

After herculean effort, we were able to get the html file of the book to upload to Amazon's e-pub site (Kindle) and now I'm waiting for Amazon's team to give the e-pub version of my book the thumbs-up so it can go online and be enjoyed by everyone. I will be working with Lulu.com for the softcover version and hope I can get their system to co-operate with my upload. So far, I've had six loads and not one of them looked the way they were supposed to. I tried html, pdf, and plain old word. All of them had too much room at the top of every page. It may take a page break at the end of every page to make the program do what it is supposed to do.

It took more work than you would ever believe, but my first book finally has a cover thanks to StravenLite (for samples of her work go to: www.stravenlite.deviantart.com). I tried to upload what she has done, but evidently, there is a problem on Blogger's end of the deal. I get a pop up that claims there is an 'internal error'. Stay with me, I will post it as soon as I can.
