First things first: a very happy birthday to
maschalismos. I hope today is kind to you.
Here's a song I think you'd like. ♥
So I've been wanting to cast Bet Me for a while, but couldn't make it work because I couldn't figure out who would play Minerva. And Min's important because she's the heart of the story, so casting her right was essential. Then
seren_ccd started writing her Crusie-style Trek Big Bang, and one of our conversations inspired me to start casting the story again, and after wracking my brain, I ended up with the perfect Min.
Your mileage may vary, of course, but I kind of love how this all turned out. It has all my favorite actors playing some of my favorite people, and I wish they were making this movie with this cast, for real.
Also, yes, Tatum is in this. Like I told Seren, he had to play one of Cal's lunkhead friends, and I found the perfect fit for him. Plus, he would get to make out with Gabrielle Union eventually, and there is no wrong there. At all.
