I also like Sophia Bush for Mel and I think that even Kiera Nightly (if she gained some weight) could be Mel too. Tom Welling is the perfect description for Ian but I also like Sean Faris http://x38.xanga.com/ede0023a204351830337975/z106397854.jpg he just need blue eyes. For the seeker I like Cristina Ricci or Milla Kunis and for Sharon Laura Prepon
Rachael Leigh Cook looks exactly like my Melanie, except for the hair.
Jamie could be Josh Hutcherson, perhaps?
Sharon: Bryce Dallas Howard, I guess. Or Christina Hendricks.
I've always pictured Jared looking like a younger, hotter Chris Martin. Michael Vartan, maybe? Yes, I'm watching Never Been Kissed right now.
Also, Judy Reyes, Christina Ricci, or Aimee Garcia as the Seeker. But no makeup, I've always thought that the Seeker was supposed to be ugly.
Zooey Deschanel or Rachel Bilson for Sunny.
Maybe Jonathan Bennett as Ian, though I've always pictured Ian as a tougher guy than that.
Walter should just be someone's grandpa. Maybe Hugh Heffner, he's old. Elisabeth Harnois for Pet.
This isn't my dream cast, but as close as I could get.
Well, it depends on what kind of movie this is going to be. Both will probably have older characters than in the book, which is how I have it here. I don't really want it to be #1, but if it happens, it happens...
1) PRODUCTION A: Pretty Much "The CW Does The Host"
2) Production B: If it's more like the casting in The Road
The one I want is more like the second (not that I'd mind the first):
MEL: SUMMER GLAU (she's one of the scifi staples in my mind!)
Wanda/PET: an unknown, please, or AMANDA SEYFRIED or EVANNA LYNCH.
JARED--I like the idea of JENSEN ACKLES as Jared--he'd have to be
less playful, though.
SEEKER: CHRISTINA RICCI
*JEB: NATHAN FILLION. My favourite to cast by far; an aged NATHAN
FILLION!*
JAMIE: LOGAN LERMAN or JOSH HUTCHERSON
I agree, Josh Duhamel would be the perfect Jared!
Not only does he look like he could be a Jared, but with the roles he has played I can easily imagine him being the both tender, love-softened Jared towards Melanie but also the toughened, athletic survivor-man.
Also, I think Brandon Routh should play Ian. Just make him wear blue contacts! haha. But seriously, as Superman in Superman Returns, Routh has the capability of filling in that sweet-natured role of protector that Ian plays for Wanda. Though casting Ian will be difficult because he has a twin, Kyle, maybe something can be worked out with Routh. He's the perfect stature and look, with jet black hair and standing at a gargantuan 6 foot 4 or something.
I cannot wait to see this book adapted to film. I just hope it doesn't disappoint, like Twilight did on the big screen...

OMG i love all u guys ideas, all except for IAN
there has to be someone with shocking blue eyes as descrivied in the book... i just dont know who
i always imegined him with blond hair i dunno why
im liking heaps of your ideas, except i dont like anybodys idea of jamie! In my head, he looked nothing like josh hutcherson or logan lerman. Sorry, but i don't think he was intended to look like that in the book either. I always imagined him a little more tanned and cuter. I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but to me it just seems extremely obvious that jamie is not supposed to look anything like josh hutcherson. My idea of jamie was someone a little like Lorenzo Henrie. He has been the best person i have found to play the role of jamie.
Guys I think that Ian and Kyle have to look alike because in the book werent they like twins or very close to the same look and in the book Melanie was 17 and Jared was 26 so he should have an older look to him and she should seem younger
