Movie Monday - Wings

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS BOOK!  READ IT!  YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO!

Ok...whew...calm down...But for serious guys?  I love this book and the whole series too.  The last (4th) book in the series came out recently and I devoured it in about 12 hours.  Awesome end to the series.  For those of you who haven't read or heard of this one yet, here's a quick summary.  When a flower blooms in the middle of her back, Laurel discovers that she is a faerie and was placed with human parents as a child. As Laurel learns about her true background and the dangers that face the faerie realm, she struggles to find her place in both worlds.  And there is romance!  SWOON! Team David or Team Tamani?  (Tamani for me, all the way, what could be better than a faerie boyfriend with green hair?!?!)

Anyhooo.....Movie news!  Disney has bought the rights to the film and have attached Miley Cyrus to star:

Now, I DO NOT LIKE this casting.  I have nothing against Miley, I think shes great.  But not to be Laurel.  Here is who I want to see play Laurel:

Evanna Lynch AKA Luna Lovegood

Evanna Lynch played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter movies.  She has just the right image that I imagined Laurel to be, a pale, willowy blonde.  I also think that Saoirse Ronan would make a great Laurel, cause Laurel is pretty kick ass and so is Saoirse as Hanna.

And David and Tamani!  No word on who will play them, but here are my picks:

David, Laurel's human love interest:

Josh Hutcherson (Peeta!) He's a little old, but I think they can young him down for this.  He's a good, solid 'human boy' if that makes sense.

Tamani <3<3<3, Laurel's faerie childhood friend and love interest...well I'm undecided.  He has to be super cute, kind of elfen looking.  I'll think more about it and get back to you.
