Their Vicious Games - Tumblr Posts
okay also, i want book recommendations! i want some kinda lesser known books, some deep cuts (b sides in the book community if you will!).
i kinda fall into that “weird girl books” category. like some of my faves include but are not limited to:
Bones and All by Camille DeAngelis
Confessions by Kanae Minato
Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Wells
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (a classic)
preferably some books in the same vein as those! and if anybody recommends me stuff with wild ass taboos (inc*st, p*dos,etc) (and i’m looking at you lolita and flowers in the attic enjoyers), i will come to your house and take every single battery and piece of cutlery out that mf and im not playing 💀
hey divas, let’s cast their vicious games bc i heard it’s slated for a tv show 😁
this casting would be like my dream casting where everyone is a perfect actor/actress and a budget is nonexistent lol.
marsai martin as adina
marsai definitely has the look! like, this is who i pictured when joelle described adina physically and emotionally (her intelligence, sarcasm, general demeanor). my only concern is that since marsai doesn’t have many serious roles in her filmography, she may not be able to give the depth needed for a dramatic suspense show.
ashley liao as saint
no concerns about her acting skills or looks, it’s more so about salary since she was in a blockbuster (the ballad of songbirds and snakes).
sadie sink as penthesilea
same situation as ashley. has the look and acting chops, the salary/budget is the issue.
rachel zegler as esme (honorary mention: jenna ortega)
these divas! they both have the look, and are amazing actors. jenna’s a bit more suited for the role bc of how edgy she is, and it’d be nice to see her get rid of that wednesday addams/astrid deetz typecast. rachel is great but ive never seen her play a morally gray/pretty much villain type girl. however i’d imagine they’d be expensive.
cate blanchette as aunt remington
her salary would be like 1/4 of the budget
daniella perkins as toni
who i pictured as toni! after seeing her in grown-ish and older, i think she’d be great for comedic relief and the serious moments.
harry colett as graham
the targaryen prince! idk guys the curly hair and sunken eyes really do it for me. i definitely think he can play the drunken but kinda serious screw up.
gavin casalengo as pierce
very pretty “all american” boy is how i imagined pierce, so i think gavin is a decent choice. he was pretty good in the summer i turned pretty. also i think the gurls may enjoy him as the main love interest that could look good with adina and penthesilea.
