Movie Monday: Incarceron

Oh man guys, I loved this book!  I'm excited for this one.  Here goes. 

The Book:

Incarceron is a prison so vast that it contains not only cells, but also metal forests, dilapidated cities, and vast wilderness. Finn, a seventeen-year-old prisoner, has no memory of his childhood and is sure that he came from Outside Incarceron. Very few prisoners believe that there is an Outside, however, which makes escape seems impossible. And then Finn finds a crystal key that allows him to communicate with a girl named Claudia. She claims to live Outside- she is the daughter of the Warden of Incarceron, and doomed to an arranged marriage. Finn is determined to escape the prison, and Claudia believes she can help him. But they don't realize that there is more to Incarceron than meets the eye. Escape will take their greatest courage and cost more than they know.

What we know about the movie:

Really not much.  :(  Basically all we know right now is that 20th Century Fox owns the film rights.  Stuff we wish would happen?  Alot of people really want Emma Watson (Hermione!) to play Claudia, which I think is a really great pick and I will hop on the train too.  Hermione as Claudia!  YAY! 

 
Anyhoo, as for Finn?  Not sure.  Some people have suggested Taylor Lautner and rumors have gone around that he is actually attached to star.  But I didn't see any official news of this so I don't think thats a true rumor.  And I think they could find someone better.  TL is kind of bulky (muscly!) and I imagined Finn to be skinny and wiry.

Can't think of an actor I'd really like to see play him at the moment thou, I'd have to think it over.  Any ideas from you guys?
