The Cast of the Talebearer Trilogy

**NOTE: Obviously these aren't real cast members. The book hasn't been published yet, so it'd be absolutely insane to assume that there's a movie in the works.
Also, these aren't even real suggestions for who I'd like to play certain characters should Talebearer movies be made. The exception to this is the actress you'll see listed for Cassandra. She can have the job as far as I'm concerned... She'd be perfect for it, I think. Unless she's too old by the time my dreams of a "Tobias" motion picture come true.
This is just to give you guys some sort of visual idea of the people I've been "living with" for the past few years... sort of. Some are pretty solid representations (again, see: Cassandra), while some, like Tobias, are rather iffy.
But it's a fun and interesting excercise for me nonetheless. For those lucky few of you who have read the first half of "Tobias", let me know what you think of my choices.
Also: The formatting is kinda funky. Dang.
Tobias:














Freddie Highmore
Reasonably tall, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He’s not extremely bulky, but he’s no wimp either. He’s fast, but his main strength is his ability to plan and command.

Cassandra:



















AnnaSophia Robb

Tall, blonde, beautiful, and more than capable of taking care of herself. Green eyes. She has combat skills that easily rival Tobias and Matthias, but she doesn’t originally seek an army life. After war breaks out and Tobias leaves, however, she starts training. She joins the Legion lot long after Matthias, and is put under Tobias’ command for the ‘Hell’ mission. She also dislikes being called by her nickname, “Cass”. Tobias is the only one who can call her that without being pounded. Others have tried, but only once.

Matthias:















Josh Hutcherson

He may look bulky, strong, and somewhat gruff, but he’s more willing to crack jokes than to take lives.
Heich:


















Jeremy Irons

A Commander in the Legion. Knows his way around a battlefield.

Mia:




















Miley Cyrus

A lone mercenary. Long, dark hair. A few years older than Tobias, but that doesn’t stop her from becoming quite infatuated with him. She has a normally peppy and bubbly personality, but she’s tough in battle.

Victor:

Jonathan Jackson
“Leading them was a man dressed entirely in black, with an assortment of blades at his side. He was clean-shaven aside from a black goatee that matched his hair, and he looked to be about twenty-five summers old. From what he could tell, Tobias took him to be a higher ranking Loki officer. Perhaps equal to Tobias’ Commander rank from a Loki standpoint.”

Alice

While I knew that Sarah Michelle Gellar was supposed to play Alice in the adaptation of American McGee's "Alice" video game. What I somehow wasn't aware of was that she didn't just sign on to do a role, she and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. are actually the ones who bought the movie rights.

"I just thought [it] was the most weirdly beautiful game," Gellar said. "I finished it, which was a miracle. I had a lot of help. We got the rights to it, and Universal wound up getting really excited and put a lot of money into it, and then it's the usual story. There was a regime change."

Shame. I haven't played Alice myself, but I understand it's great (or at least was for the time). I guess it's a super mature kind of retelling of Alice in Wonderland, with a crazy girl? Sounds like a golden movie opportunity to me!

But the girl who was Buffy 'aint stopping there. "It's still my project, and I'm still working diligently. So to all those Alice fans, I'm not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there."

Beautiful AND diligent. You go girl. And if Freddie ever leaves you, my place is always open.
