Shadow Eyes Blog tour: Cast for Imaginary Shadow Eyes movie

Hi guys! Today, we have Shadow Eyes stopping by the blog for the tour. 

Check out the exclusive guest post from Dusty Crabtree, the author of Shadow Eyes, about her ideas on the cast for imaginary Shadow Eyes Movie. Also, don’t forget to check out the book’s blurb and the awesome giveaway! :)

Cast for Imaginary Shadow Eyes Movie

First of all, thanks for having me, Jenna.  I’m thrilled to be here and to bring to your readers the hypothetical cast of my young adult urban fantasy, Shadow Eyes.  Obviously, a movie of Shadow Eyes will never happen.  But a girl can dream, right?  

(Don’t forget to enter the rafflecopter below to enter for a print copy of Shadow Eyes, your full name in the sequel, and a KINDLE FIRE!)

Iris – Emma Roberts (Valentine’s Day, Hotel for Dogs, Nancy Drew) 

I love this look for Iris.  Emma Roberts has that endearing yet somewhat conflicted look.  She’s gorgeous enough for a main character but still relatable like the girl next door.  Her hair is an awesome fit too, and I can see her with violet contacts!

Josh – Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson)

This was a no-brainer for me (although I toyed with Josh Hutcherson), because ever since I started writing Shadow Eyes I thought of Logan Lerman.  He was so cute and adorable in Percy Jackson.  I can see him being somewhat shy but then coming out of his comfort zone for a girl.

Patrick – Alex Pettyfer (I am Number Four, Beastly)

Almost as fast as I thought of Logan Lerman for Josh, I thought of Alex Pettyfer for Patrick.  Who else could take the role of the hot, mysterious new guy with messy, surfer blonde hair, green eyes (I think his are blue but there are contacts), lean yet sculpted?  I can definitely see Iris falling for him, but who wouldn’t?  He’s the perfect Patrick!!!

Mr. Delaney –Josh Lucas (The Lincoln Lawyer, Glory Road, Life as We Know It) 

I toyed with Ryan Gosling and Chris Pine for Mr. Delaney, but they looked too young to be the teacher/mentor figure.  Josh Lucas is actually 42 while Mr. Delaney is supposed to be early to mid-30s, but Josh Lucas just looks the part – handsome, sweet and caring, charismatic, yet calm and mysterious…love it!

Kyra – Emma Watson (Harry Potter)  

I like her in this picture with the short, cropped hair, although I might have it just a little longer.  Simple, yet fashionable - very Kyra!  I think Emma could definitely be the confident, friendly, and attractive, yet humble and selfless Kyra.

Lexie – Georgie Henley (Chronicles of Narnia – Lucy)

I love Georgie’s curly red hair for Lexi, and I can see her being a super sweet, easygoing, girly, and bubbly friend to Iris.

Nicole – Lily Collins (Mirror Mirror, The Blind Side, Abduction)

Besides the fact that Lily’s hair is too long, I think she’d make a great Nicole - Iris’s other friend who cares a little bit too much about her looks and fitting in.  She’s fashionable, fun, and sometimes dramatic.

Hanna – Emma Stone (The Help, Spiderman, Easy A)

Why don’t we just have a whole cast of Emma’s, shall we?  Hanna is that awesome, goofy, fun, optimistic and caring sister everyone wishes they had.  Who wouldn’t want to hang around and get advice from Emma Stone? 

Tyler – Michael Cera (Juno, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World)

Tyler is the outgoing goofball and class clown that can never be serious. I’m pretty sure that face just says goofball.

Sam – Sterling Knight (17 AGain)

The kind of the awkward one of the bunch, Sam is a gamer with short blond hair (that aspect would have to change); Sterling’s character in 17 Again fits perfectly!

About the book:

Title: Shadow Eyes

Author: Dusty Crabtree

Iris Kohl lives in a world populated by murky shadows that surround, harass, and entice unsuspecting individuals toward evil.  But she is the only one who can see them.  She’s had this ability to see the shadows, as well as brilliantly glowing light figures, ever since an obscure, tragic incident on her fourteenth birthday three years earlier.  

Although she’s learned to cope, the view of her world begins to shift upon the arrival of three mysterious characters.  First, a handsome new teacher whose presence scares away shadows; second, a new friend with an awe-inspiring aura; and third, a mysterious and alluring new student whom Iris has a hard time resisting despite already having a boyfriend.

As the shadows invade and terrorize her own life and family, she must ultimately revisit the most horrific event of her life in order to learn her true identity and become the hero she was meant to be.
