I'll come across something that sounds interesting, but then I check out the cast and see her name pop up too often.

She is NOT right for this

Judy Greer out of a time machine, but Melissa Barrera is free so let's give her a chance.

Love Yorgos, but I can't say I liked this book very much. Then again, I'm sure he can do something fun with it.

First time I heard about this book was when there was news that he was gonna direct an adaptation years ago

[willardwright]

As for who I'd cast... somebody with an unlikeable, smug face for the protagonist, I guess.

Emma Roberts?

[willardwright]

Exactly who I immediately thought of! But I don't think she's a good enough actress + she might be a little too old for this role at this point.

Olivia Cooke?
