Follow me Friday- Kickstarter Campaign

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.

This weeks question is if I was doing a Kickstarter campaign for my favorite book to be made into a movie, what would it be, and who would I cast. 

Well since both of my favorite books have been made into movies (Bone Collector, and IT) I decided to pick a different book that I would love to see made into a movie. I chose ... Joyland by Stephen King. I chose this mainly because I am reading this now, and it is fresh in my mind.

I am terrible at trying to decide who to cast in certain roles. I can't get past how I see the characters in my mind to choose a real person who could play it. Although I can be very opinionated as to who is cast for certain roles until I see the movie. 

I couldn't have done this without the help of my wife and our friend Cathy. I asked them who they thought would be good after describing the character they agreed that Nicholas Hoult would be a good fit.

 Devin Jones is a love struck college student who is going to work at a carnival for a summer job. He does fit the character well but again not how I pictured him in the book. 

The only other character that I think I have picked out pretty well would be that of Erin Cook. She is a fiery red head who becomes instant friends with Dev. She is working at Joyland as a Hollywood girl.  They run around the park taking photos of the visitors in hopes they buy them as a souvenir. For this character I picked Emma Stone

 There is another character named Mike. He is a little boy who has a debilitating illness, but there is something really special about him. He spends his time in a wheel chair because of his weak legs, but he sees more than anyone around him knows. For this character I decided to go with CJ Adams.

This is as far as I got, and remember I am not very good at picking actors to play certain roles. For those of you who have read this book tell me what you think. I may be way off the mark on this, but I would love to get your thoughts. The book is amazing, and I am really loving it. That review will be posted on my blog soon. 

Well happy Friday everyone, and I look forward to seeing what type of comments this draws.
