Introducing Finley Jayne

Thursday, September 29, 2011

I get asked all the time who I would cast in a movie of my books, or who I used for inspiration. I thought it might be fun to share my ‘cast’ with you and get your feedback. Hate my choice? Let me know. Love it? Say it! Have someone else in mind? I’d love to hear who.

So, here she is, Miss Finley Jayne:

Finley might have started out looking like the fabulous Emma Watson, but she soon took on her ow look, as characters do once I get to know them. Still, I think EW could play Fin in a movie version of the Steampunk Chronicles, although I’d have to see her throw a punch first!

Your thoughts?

she should have brown or raven hair

Actually, Finley’s hair is honey-blonde, so this isn’t too far off. Do you picture her with dark hair?

Sarah

Yes but thats only because most tough and dark-sided people I have seen have raven of brown hair
Heather Nicolini

I (Heather Nicolini haha) definatly see her at more of a maybe dark blonde or generally brown hair but that’s just me and Emma Watson would be a good choice for Finely but in my mind I can’t see Emma as Finely but I’m just throwing that out there but good work on the books I love them!!

Maddicarr

I too can see EW playing a wonderful Finley! She’s strong, and a great actress, but I agree: I haven’t seen her darker side yet!

I think she’d make a great Finley! I can’t wait to see who you have in mind as Griffin. I imagined Domhall Gleeson, who played Bill Weasley.

Danielle

What do you think of James McAvoy. I think he is perfect

Poniepenny

Are you going to have a movie???? Emma would be great as Finley, perfect!

not that I dont love Emma Watson but what about Abbie Cornish? I love this photo – http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3313810176/tt0978764 – Finley of my dreams anyway

Hermione punched Draco in HP & the Prisoner of Azkaban – so there’s a good visual reference!

PonniePenny, I wish I was going to have a movie! I sometimes ‘cast’ my books, or certain people pop into my head when I’m writing a particular character. This is who I kept picturing when I wrote Fin.

Kaytee, Abbie is great too! She’d make a fabulous Finley.

I could see either Emma or Abbie Cornish both of them would fit.

Finley has honey-colored hair and i think the girl is perfect as Finley. And Emily is also perfect.

Not that I don’t love Emma but personally I can just NOT see her as Finley I think Abbie would be better suited or Brittany Snow http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/hen1wGVNGK0/2011+Art+Elysium+Heaven+Gala+Red+Carpet/v1wggJtSD20/Brittany+Snow

with a few touch ups here and there, I think she would make an excellent Finley Jane. Not much to look at (although she is beautiful) but once in the proper mood, she’ll be ready to give any shite a proper thrashing!
lolly

Emily would make an excellent Finley Jayne. Are you going to ask anybody about making a movie?
If you are and Emily signs up to do Finley I think she would be perfect.

Paige

Her name is actually Emma. Emma Watson…

Paige

I love Emma, so I’d be thrilled if the books were made movies and she got cast as Finley!
Danielle

She is great but i dont think people can think of her anything but hermonie. I think for grif though James McAvoy would be so perfect its not funny. When i saw him on x men i went back and re read both books because of how much he acted just like him.
Maritri9

I think she would make a great Finley! James McAvoy for Griffin? No way! He’s too old! Grif is supposed to be 18….I think Liam Hemsworth would make a great Griffin….
Nathan

Love her as Finley, Shea’s innocence still which would work well to play on the striking opposite dark side. Not to mention that you need a lighter color hair to really bring out the dark streaks that appear in her hair.
Invisibly Beautiful

I’ve always pictured Finely as the girl on the cover of Steel Corset, even though the book says she has honey blonde hair.
Myah

I love emma Watson as finley it would be a dream come true if these books were made into movies I have read them over and over I can’t wait to see what the rest of the cast would look like
Jo

If you made her look like Finley and not Hermione Granger, people would go for it. She would have to look more grungy though

i think she would have a little bit darker hair, and wre are the black stripes.
Victoria

She isn’t exactly the Finley I had in mind, but after thinking about it, she wouldn’t be half bad. The only thing is that time waits for no one, and it won’t be long before Emma’s appearance will be too mature to play a teenager.
Rina

Okay sooo I’ve been doing some looking around and I think I might have an okay idea of some actors who could play our favorite four people, Griffin, Emily, Finley, and Sam. Here goes
For Finley of course Emma Watson and for Emily Lilly Cole, no Brainers but for Griffin the handsome duke could be played by Liam Hemsworth. The hardest was Sam I’m still not 100% but maybe Corey Sevier?? And that is my imaginary cast XD
Kelly Hauk

Amazing, she would (and hopefully will) be a perfect Finley Jayne.

Okay!! Another choice for Griffin!!! Whoever has seen les miserables and the Oscars recently the super dreamy rebel leader, Aaron Tviet YESSSS
