Ok, I'm currently on Book 3 of the All Souls Trilogy. Has anyone read them? They're sooooooo good! It's like fantasy/romance/historical fiction/action/thriller/mystery all rolled into one! I love it! Anyway, so I've been fancasting the books in my head the last couple days, and I just have to post it somewhere! I know this is totally random, but I just have to. I did this before, with the Mortal Instruments series as well. If any of you guys have read the books, let me know what you think!
Rachel McAdams as Diana Bishop. She can pull off the strawberry blonde curls, and the bright straight blonde look as well! And she's an amazing actress. I would be delighted if she were to tackle this role.
David Gandy as Matthew de Clermont. He has the PERFECT eyes, dark hair, and he's tall and oooooh so sexy! I bet he looks great with a beard too.
Gemma Arterton as Miriam Shepherd. She's got the look and the attitude, plus she's British! Just like Miriam.
Garrett Hedlund as Marcus Whitmore. He's hot, and has the blonde haired blue eyed surfer look going on.
Diane Kruger as Ysabeau de Clermont. This is who I've been picturing in my head as Ysabeau since the first book. The silky honey colored hair, the cold beauty... Diane is perfect!
Eduardo Berastegui as Baldwin. He's hot, but kind of scary looking.
Eva Green as Louisa. This is seriously THE MOST PERFECT casting for Louisa. Stunning, yet terrifying, and just as described.
I had a little trouble with Phillipe de Clermont because he's sometimes described as looking like a kingly angel, but then he's also described as being like a lion: powerful and terrifying. Initially, I went with Charlie Hunnam, just for his looks, but then I settled on Michael Fassbender. He exudes that power Phillipe has, and he's handsome.
Jessica Chastain as Rebecca Bishop. I've noticed in some other fancasts, that people chose her for Diana, but I think she would make a great maternal figure. She's beautiful, yet also sort of wise looking and tender. So I cast as her as Diana's mom.
Simon Baker as Stephen Proctor. Diana's dad had to have that handsome, disarming, scholarly look about it. And I couldn't think of anyone better than this guy.
Susan Sarandon as Sarah. She has to have red hair of course! And Sarandon is great at playing multifaceted characters. Sarah is maternal, yet also somewhat curt and abrasive, and Susan Sarandon could totally pull that off.
Patricia Clarkson as Em. She's the old soul in the family. Kind of quiet, and very empathetic. Clarkson embodies these qualities, although her hair would have to be white for the role. Bonus! She and Susan Sarandon would make a great onscreen couple!
Gabriel Byrne as Peter Knox. This guy has been in a lot of stuff, and he has that sort of unsavory look to him that would be perfect for Peter.
Mads Mikkelson as Father Hubbard. CREEPY MCCREEPERTON RIGHT HERE! Perfect for the vampire priest.
Emma Watson as Phoebe Taylor. Although she doesn't look the way Phoebe is described physically, she has everything else: intelligence, wit, and British propriety. And she and Garrett Hedlund just make a dashing couple, don't you think??
Alex Gonzalez as Fernando Goncalves. He's Spanish, and he's handsome. :)
Daniel Samonas as 20 year old Jack. He has that innocent, yet roguish look about him. And the hazel eyes!
Elijah Wood as Christpher, Kit, Marlowe. He's perfect for a daemon. And Elijah is such an amazing actor, I'm sure he could pull of the petulance of Kit.
Evan Rachel Wood as Mary Sidney, Duchess of Pembroke. She has the look I think. And I feel like she and Rachel McAdams would have good onscreen chemistry as lab partners.
Finally, Benjamin. He was a hard one to cast, because obviously he has to be good looking, but also seriously creepy. Like serial killer creepy. So it's a tie between Cillian Murphy, the typecast creeper (top), and Francois Arnaud (bottom). I think the latter might have the advantage just because he's French though.
Well, that's it! All the major characters at least. What do you think?

Looking forward the BBC series :)
OMG!! THAnk you for telling me about the BBC series, I had no idea that was happening!! SO EXCITED!!!
Hello from Florida.
I love your choices. The only one that I might change might be Matthew, but all the others are perfect. Though I have seen some of the options for Gallowglass (may I place my order for one of those?), but Chris H. would be perfect, in y mind he was the first choice.
Thanks for your blog.
I think your casting is perfect. For me, Matthew HAS to be played by David Gandy. He is the only person I ever picture as Matthew.
Excellent choices.
