Q: What book would you love to see made into a movie or television show and do you have an actress/actor in mind to play the main characters.
The first part of this question is easy for me. The series that I would give my right arm to see on television or in the movies would be Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series. I can picture the cinematography - dark, urban, just a tad off from reality, with the addition of angry ghosts and street thugs. And of course, I would love nothing more than to hear Downspeak on my TV. Of course, this would have to be a cable show. I'm not sure who I would tap to portray the main characters in this show, but I do have a visual of how I imagine Bump, the powerful drug lord in this series.
This is a random picture I took at a Pittsburgh Steelers game a few years ago (I apologize for the blurry picture), and this guy always shows up in his fur coat, and it immediately makes me think of Bump.
Throw a little pomade into Hugh Jackman's hair and throw a bowling shirt on him and he might even resemble Terrible a little.
It's hard for me to find a good example of what I think Chess would look like, because I like the model on the series' book covers. If you took this picture of Rooney Mara and her bangs, and let her hair down, she might look enough like Chess.
Which series would you like to see make into a movie or television show?

Love how you described the cinematography! Would watch a show like that for sure.
Following you right back!

You're so right. i love the downspeech in her series. It grew on me pretty fast after initially disliking it.
Happy Friday!
I reckon, if done well, they could get the atmosphere of Downside onto the big screen.
They could never get the perfect actor for Terrible, though... such a fine hunk of man can't possibly exist in real life, lol :)
My FF
@Laura - YES you must check it out ;-)
@Laura - that's my co-blogger who's reading Blameless. I haven't read it yet :(
@Lynsey - you're 100% correct - no one would be a perfect Terrible. I only picked Hugh Jackman because of his mutton chops, lol!
I haven't read this series yet but really need to start.
Thanks for stopping by, following back by linky :)
Sounds interesting. And the steelers guy/Bump model seems like a super intriguing character. XD Thanks for following! ^_^
I haven't heard of that series, but I'm going to go looking for it. Ooh, and I love Hugh Jackman. I'd watch anything he's in, seriously!

This is one series that I am a bit embarrassed to say I have not read. I plan to change that this year. I already have the first book in the series. And now I can picture Hugh Jackman as Terrible. :) YAY!!

Hi! thanks for following . It's too bad I've never heard of Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series. Sounds interesting .
Solid choice! I've never read the series, but it's been firmly planted on my TBR list. And, really, you can never go wrong with Hugh Jackman!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh god yes yes yes! Hugh Jackman as Terrible would make my day! And I agree...Rooney Mara would make a fascinating Chess. Love the Bump picture!

Interesting answer. I'm actually probably one of the few to have yet read this series. But it definitely seems like something I'd watch.
