Maximum Ride - Possible Cast?

Hey people out there, I'm sure that you all know (and if you don't you do now) that Maximum Ride is set to become a movie. This is 'Books to Movies' Blog's proposed cast*, based on looks alone (and age..)
Everyone is throwing speculation around of who they believe would suit the characters. So up first we have possible ideas for Angel:

*Purely Speculation, not the confirmed cast. Not the producers/casting peoples proposed cast either.

Angel: Max's favorite kid. She's six years old and sweet, and adores Max. She can read minds and gets more powers throughout the book and series.

  This kiddo here is Ashley Boettcher, maybe if she dyed her hair.....

Bailee Madison


Again, she'd a brunette. But again with the dyeing. ....






































Gazzy (Gasman): Angel's eight-year-old brother with a messed-up digestive system that generates a lot of "toxic gas," hence his name. Most of the time he goes by Gazzy, though. He is Iggy's partner in crime, sharing the same love for blowing things up and getting into trouble. He has the ability to mimic voices perfectly.

Griffun Gluck

Asa Butterfield

Jack Kaeding

Seth Robert Dusky

Jacob Hopkins

Iggy: He's blind and likes explosives. Doesn't allow his blindness to change who he is, and remains strong and independent. Pretty smart. A good cook and the Flock's original pyro. (Age: 14 in "The Angel Experiment") The whitecoats tried to enhance his night-vision, but ended up blinding him instead.

Cole Sprouse

Sterling Beaumon

Nudge: A talkative eleven-year-old girl with a cute, bubbly personality. She has the ability to touch something and see who or what was there earlier. She can hack into computers. She looks up to Max, like the rest of the flock, but she seems to think she needs Max more than the others seem to think.

Amandla Stenberg

Fang: A quiet mysterious type of guy. A boy with a bit of an attitude, a sarcastic side, is very protective of his "Flock," and sometimes wishes he could be calling the shots. He has a soft spot in his heart for the 'bambi eyes.' (Age: 14 in "The Angel Experiment") Has a secret crush on Max.




Max: The leader of the Flock due to her seniority over the others, Max is a 14-year-old girl who is just trying to keep her famliy together. At the same time she's also trying to find out who she really is, which isn't an easy task. Strong, sarcastic, and very loving towards her Flock. She also has a secret crush on Fang (which confuses herself and grows throughout the books). She is 2 months older than Fang.

Add a Book-to-Film

Know a book-to-film that should be on the blog?

Just post the name of both the book and prospective film (even if the film hasn't been confirmed) and it'll be up on the blog soon.

Just a reminder that this blog is currently just blogging about book-to-movies currently in production (From Sept 2011) not previous book-to-movies. Once the movie is out there will be a review and then I'll move on from posting about it and look towards other book-to-movie productions. (Don't worry I won't delete anything)

Thanks for your help! :)

Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Perks of Being a Wall Flower:


Perk Number 1: Just kidding, Perks of Being a Wall Flower is set to be released sometime 2012 but an exact date is yet to be set. 


The synopsis of Perks of Being a Wallflower: Tells the story of an introvert freshman named Charlie who is taken on the wings by his friends Sam and Patrick, who welcome him to the world of sex, drugs and complicated relationships.


As with all the books on this blog it is recommended that you read it before the movie comes out. 

Perks of Being a WallFlower stars Logan Lerman as the main character Charlie. As pictured here: 




His co-stars include Emma Watson (who incidentally stared in another book-to-movie Harry Potter) who plays Sam; Charlie's best friend that Charlie is in love with. 
Paul Rudd plays Bill, Charlie's english teacher that provides Charlie with books that influence him. 
Ezra Miller plays Patrick, Charlie's best friend who is Sam's step-brother.


Perks of Being a Wallflower is a Teen Drama/Romance movie following the life of a 15 year-old boy, a movie the directors promise is true to the book. Lets hope all movies are. 


Perks of Being a Wallflower won  the YALSA Best Young Adult book award. 

Vampire Academy

Vampire Academy:


Its right in saying that there are many, many, many Vampire Academy fans out there. It is also right in saying that any book with that amount of fans (very crazy and enthusiastic ones) will have cause to become a film.


It is for this reason that this page has been created. Because rumors are flying everywhere. 


As of September 4 2011, this is what we know:


- Preger Entertainment has acquired the film rights to Vampire Academy. So now they're just sitting pretty.


- Although Preger entertainment is trying to auire a studio and crew, they have so far made no deals.


About this much is stated on the author Richelle Mead's page:


An author can't just decide to make a movie, not unless she has $50 million sitting around or her own studio! A studio needs to agree to take the project and invest the money. Right now, VA film rights are in the control of Preger Entertainment, who is trying to get a studio on board.  Until that happens, there is no filming, no script, and NO casting happening.  Everything is on hold.  So far, there have been no studio deals, likely because this a vampire saturated market.  So, the short answer to this question is, "I don't know." :) Read this post to get the facts on that and this interviewwhere they answer popular questions. Preger also maintains an active Facebook page with updates. IMDB has a page with a release date, but that's just a placeholder. There is no real date yet because nothing is in production.


So it looks like Vampire Academy Fans may just have to wait.
