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?

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

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.

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
