With the recent news that Charlie Hunnam pulled out
of playing the role of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of The Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, it got
me to thinking. What if my Balls To The Walls
Erotic Romance Series was made into a film? Yeah this is highly unlikely but
I’m sure most authors would love to have their books made into a films. We all
want to join the ranks of Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Anne
Rice, James Patterson and recently E.L. James, just to name a few. Plus I’m
still confused as to how Ben Affleck can play Batman when he was Daredevil.
I had chosen my picks for Fifty Shades of
Grey way before E.L James. I personally want to see Shailene Woodley as
Anastasia Steele and Alex Pettyfer as Christian Grey and while reading the
books I always envisioned Vanessa Williams as Mrs. Robinson. My choices will
never happen but wouldn’t that make for a great movie?
So let’s get back to me and my musings. Who do I
want to play the central characters in a film of my BTTW Erotica Series? I’m
sure you would never guess my picks. I seem to think outside the box. Okay
first there is alpha male Mason Rizza. My first choice would have been Channing
Tatum but he’s just too young looking to play Mason who is 38 years old. So my
next choice and I believe the most believable is Jai Alexander Courtney from Jack
Reacher and A Good Day To Die Hard
and here’s why.
1. Dirty
blonde hair and blue eyes
2. Must
look Irish and not Italian
3. Muscular
body-workout body
4. Looks
good with a beard
5. Looks
sweet but menacing
6. Can
play thirty something
Next up is Kari Fenderson. Hands down my only choice
is one of my favorite black actresses. Who I believe is highly underrated, Bianca Lawson. If you remember her from
Save The Last Dance then you know she
is the truth.
1. Closed
mouth smile, full lips and freckles
2. Light
skin African American but doesn’t look biracial
3. Looks
younger than she is (Kari is 34 in the books)
4. Sexy
but can pull off girl next door
5. Bond
girl body
6. Can
get extra black (Save The Last Dance
Clips)
Then there is Jack Unger, Mr. Perfect. I would pick Jason Lewis for what I believe to be
obvious reasons. He was the Absolut Vodka guy on Sex And The City.
1. Looks
Swedish or German
2. Resembles
a human Ken doll (Malibu Ken)
3. Looks
successful and prettier than Mason
For the waifish mental wife of Mason Rizza, Tess
Rizza I pick Emma Caulfield of Buffy The Vampire Slayer fame.
1. Very
thin body
2. Thin
facial features
3. Can
play a pretty plain Jane
When I write I try to give a brief description of
the characters and let the readers imagine their own versions of the characters.
I’m sure absolutely no one envisioned these particular actors when they were
reading BTTW. I'm currently working on a book that features Mason Rizza's nephew RJ from the Balls To The Walls Series. Check back soon for another blog post. I should release it in about a week. Until next time. :-) Lolah Lace
