» geechee_girl - Stephanie Plum Series - Movie Casting

Does anyone else find that they have strong opinions about who should play what role in the upcoming movie based on these books? I have a clear vision in my head of a Jersey girl a la Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny as Stephanie - perhaps Brittany Murphy? And its too bad Estelle Getty has alzheimers - I've always envisioned her as Grandma Mazur in my head. Ewan McGregor for Morelli in his rough and tumble mode would fit, but who for Ranger? Antonio Banderas is too old, the Rock is to big, Bejamin Bratt is too small, etc. What do you think?

I recently read all of the novels in the series and believe it or not I actually started with Twelve Sharp not knowing there were 11 prior.(whoops!!) I've always been sort of a movie person and never really took time to read, then one day I got the urge to start and haven't stopped since. Sorry, I know this is a lot of information in response to a simple question, but I hope it will help you to understand my answer. I can see why you chose the people you did for the roles, but I can't help but to feel sort of sad. I say this because I have come to realize that almost every book I read is ten times better than the movie that follows. When I read the Stephanie Plum novels the great part is I don't necessarily see the actress that would play the part especially one that we have seen in so many movies. The great thing about her character is she isn't portrayed as a Wonder Woman sort of character, she sort of is what she is. The way she is less than perfect keeps her true to her character and more real in a sense. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I would like to see a fresh face, someone that we haven't seen before especially for Stephanie's character.

I think Jennifer Lopez is to pretty for the character I envision. What about Patricia Arquette from Medium?

Hey, let's go with Mark Ruffalo for either Morelli or Ranger. I'm still pondering over Stephanie myself -- I agree about someone who's fresh and natural, though and as much as I adore Marisa, she might be just a little too old for the Steph role -- maybe Julia Louis-Dreyfus? She just stands on her own. I find myself sitting on planes, restaurants etc and just bursting out laughing as I visual her quick repartees with her other characters. Kudos to Evanovich for her amazing plots and hilarious characters. I think we need Queen Latifah for Lula!!!
Does someone have the rights to make a movie out of one of these novels?
