As far as I can tell, virtually all writers do this–fantasize about which actors and actresses would be cast in the movie version of their books. This exercise is equal parts creative-juice-stimulator (helps to visualize an actual person when writing scenes), motivator to help push you forward (sigh…someday when I’m attending the premiere…), and pure fun.
So…who would play the main roles in A Beautiful Heist? I have a few favorites.
Reese Wutherspoon (she is odd enough to be a cat burgler!) Casting Anne Hathaway as a criminal would probably traumatize my daughter as she idolizes her.
Eric Bana would be a good shout. Tom Cruise would take over the movie and who cares about Hugh Jackman?
Megan Fox – definately!
Chris Pines eye brows are a bit creepy and if iInever see another Brad Pitt film it will be too soon so Matthew Bomer even though i don’t know him.
Finally Sean Connery – every time!
