Divergent–Character Cast

If you’ve read my review, you know that I’m crazy in love with Veronica Roth’s Divergent. And guess what? The rights for the movie were bought by Summit before the book was even released and Evan Daughtery is currently writing the script.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Thefablife.com is currently asking for votes on who should play the two main characters, which inspired my to pick my own cast =)

To play Beatrice Prior aka Tris (16) I picked:

Dakota Fanning

I think she would be perfect to portray the petite yet very courageous blond =)

To play the hot and mysterious Four (18-19) I picked:

Shiloh Fernandez

I honestly can’t resist his hotness, lopsided grin & overall bad boy vibe.

Michael Trevino wouldn’t be a bad choice either though.

Now to play Tris’ friends and not-so friends…

to play Christina (16) I would pick:

Tiffany Hines

Get her an hair cut and she’s be great!

Mitch Hewer would be my cast for Will (16).

I’d pick Garrett Hedlund to play Peter (16)

Mostly because even though he is a mean bastard, he looks like an honest and kind guy.

Thomas Dekker would be a great Eric (18-19)

Just imagine him with long greasy hair and a plethora of tattoos and piercings.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any young actor tall and wide-shouldered enough to fit Al’s (16) physical description, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

So what do you guys think?
