What Kind Of Crazy Vacuum Cleaner Is This?

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

I love your take on the casting, all of it, but OMG, your parents. They're perfection.

:D I couldn't resist having Diahann Carroll in there after all that White Collar, and the only man who could play her onscreen husband was clearly Richard Roundtree. Two icons in one movie, it had to happen!

This looks amazing and entertaining and pretty, and I love that you cast animals. ♥♥♥

Oh, God, casting that cat took forever, so I'm glad he seems to have turned out all right. <33333

Oh my! This casting makes me want to read the book all over again. It is perfect! I am especially loving Channing as Tony. And your casting of Minerva and Calvin. Because it takes a long time to trust Jeffrey Donovan.

I just want one role where Channing gets to be hilarious and goofy and smart, all at the same time. And ahahahaha, it's so true! Jeffrey Donovan constantly playing characters who are gorgeous, but not easy to trust. No wonder Min made him work for it for the whole book.

now I want to read this again! I always adore your casting picspam posts, because you pick such fantastic (and perfect) people for each role

This was SO MUCH FUN. I always enjoy casting, but this one was even more fun than normal because it's one of my favorite Crusie books. :D

This fills me with glee. I thoroughly enjoyed Bet Me and now I have to dig it out of my bookcase to reread. I'm now picturing Channing saying all of Tony's lines, ♥

Plus, if this movie happened, you re-united like more than half of the cast of 10 Things I Hate About You.

And some of Flash Forward! Now I want this to exist, dammit.

Seriously, imagining Channing talking about chaos theory and getting shot down by Grace Park is my happy place right now. And imagining him, John Cho, and JGL singing together in that one scene. It would be so great!
