Thank you, Kyra and Rachel for hosting the WIP - The Movie blogfest! I love it! I have sometimes thought of how unbelievable it would be to see my book as a movie! We all have dreams. But first I have to get it published. And before that, I should get an agent. So much to do!
Anyway, here is my dream cast, for now, and a little about the main characters from my techno thriller novel, Pop Travel...
 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio |
J. L. Cooper - Once a dynamic lawyer, Cooper's fear of pop travel laser teleportation cost him his wife and his confidence. Now a reclusive small town detective, his initiative is sparked by a mysterious client giving him hope of proving his fear of pop travel is not unfounded.
| Reese Witherspoon |
Geri Harper - Spunky and smart FBI Agent sent undercover to extract evidence from Cooper and protect celebrity inventor, Hasan Rakhi, and is surprised by what she discovers.
 |
| Aziz Ansari |
Hasan Rakhi - Super genius, The Creator of pop travel, and a prisoner in his own plantation paradise, Hasan is a dramatic, joking, and sincere young man being used by the corporation he helped found.
Had to add a song - "New Low" by Middle Class Rut. It's futuristic and an upbeat, down on your luck song. Perfect for Cooper =)
A smash hit, right? Thanks for stopping by! And if any of you wonderful stars are interested...Call me! (ha ha, still dreaming =)
PS - Today I have a teenager. Dun, dun, daaaaa!
Anything starring Reese Witherspoon will be epic! Wonderful picks, and great info about the characters!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling DiCaprio will be a popular pick today!
ReplyDeleteNice choices. I'm sorry I missed out on this. Not that I had any actors figured out--other than Chase Crawford for the love interest. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd see just about anything with Leo in it, so that sounds good for me. Plus, I love Aziz Ansari in Parks & Recreation.
ReplyDeleteI would soooo watch this! DiCaprio! Yum!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! I love Aziz Ansari, he's so funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with us today!

Love Leo and Reese!! I'm not familiar with your other actor, but sounds like you've got a great story!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! I've been told I look like Reese. I DON'T BTW.
ReplyDeleteI love your choices!! Your characters sound fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI love this post Tara - Leo and Reese work for me!
ReplyDeleteI've only read your query BUT I can totally see Leo as your MC!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard the song before but I like it.
OH and I love your new blog look.
Leo as Cooper? Yes, please! What great choices!
ReplyDeleteLeo! Sold! I think he is one of the greatest actors of our time. Gorgeous and talented. Great choice. And Reese Witherspoon can seriously do no wrong. I love her. I never heard the song, but am loving it.
ReplyDeleteYour story has me hooked. Leonardo is the perfect fit and I can imagine this as a movie already. What crazy agent won't pick you?
ReplyDeleteThis is the closest thing to my story I've found (sci-fi element). Almost everyone else is going contemporary or paranormal. Love it! Pop Travel *giggles* and *opens mouth in awe* at the same time.
Will be adding this as link at the bottom of my own W.I.P. Movie post so others will check it out. Excellent work.
As much as I love your movie star choices, I'm much more interested in the story itself. Very futuristic and thrilling. So yeah, waiting for your post that says, "Smart author goes through auction process and has selected her agent among all those vying for her attention to rep Pop Travel, the novel that will make you love to read."
ReplyDeleteI have all the things to do on my list as you with the agent and being published, haha! Great cast. Reese is very spunky and should be a great fit for your FBI agent and you can never go wrong with Leo!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with thinking big. I can see this book as a movie.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your choices. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely want to read this! I really hope it gets published one day. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat choices for your cast!
Whew! What a star-studded cast! I love it :D
ReplyDeleteOoh! Your novel sounds fantastic! Great cast, too. I want to read AND watch it! :)
ReplyDeletesome blush worthy comments guys! thanks sooooo much!
ReplyDeletei picture the movie all the time...someday!
I am loving your cast. Cant's wait to see your movie one day:)
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices. Sounds like something I'd like to see.:0)
ReplyDeleteI would totally see a movie with a cast like that. And if its your story, even more so. Nice one! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved your picks! I've picked out the actress to play my MC and had so much fun doing it. I'm still working on the rest of the cast, LOL. Also, you've been tagged in the Lucky 7 Meme. Check it out on my blog: http://rungwenrun.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHeck ya! Love your choices. I swear, you have a knack for this kind of stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove your high-profile cast - they would totally work. :D

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great story! I would definitely go see that movie.
ReplyDeleteI love Aziz Ansari... he's hilarious!
I would see this movie, sounds like a cool story and good cast. Cool song too, I've never heard of them. And wow, a teenager. Time sure flies! Enjoy every moment! :) Cheers!
