i'm not the desperate type.

[semisweet]

oh NOES.

Now that Karyn Kusama is on board to direct Jennifer's Body, Diablo Cody's follow-up to Juno, casting is beginning in earnest. Luckily we have a source close to the production who has told us who is being looked at for some major roles in the film.

The lead role of Needy, the Buffy of the piece, if you will, is being offered to Amanda Seyfried, Big Love's Sarah. That's not a done deal, but with nothing on her IMDB after the upcoming Mamma Mia!, I imagine Seyfried will be happy to take the role.

More interesting, perhaps, are two names that are being bandied about for Nikolai; he's the leader of the Satanic emo band that starts all of the problems that turns Needy into an ass-kicking monster fighter. The production is looking at - Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte.

LOLOLOL. i will go see it one thousand times if they actually cast pete, not gonna lie, but omg, does anyone really think this is a good idea?!? have they SEEN him on one tree hill? aadlskjhdfdga.

*facepalm FOREVER*

I got that in my Google Alerts first thing this morning and like, almost started crying from laughing so hard. And then from thinking how terrible it would be, srsly. Worst idea ever, omg. They should just cast Gerard Way and get it over with; how many articles have I read depicting MCR as a Satanic emo band anyway?

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

HEE, i didn't even think of gerard, but DUH! i offered up ryland as an alternative, bwahaha.

[lessthangreat.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, okay, Ryland is definitely an acceptable alternative. We know he can act, for one. XD

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

right, that was my theory! plus, y'know, he's ryland, and anything he does is generally amazing, so it seemed like a reasonable plan.

also if you haven't read this cab fic (http://beingothrwrldly.livejournal.com/568834.html) yet you need to, like, immediately, omg. MY HEARTTTTT.

[lessthangreat.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And more people need to realize the awesome of Ryland. Which can only be rivaled by the awesome of Jon Walker, imho.

Dude, I read that earlier and very nearly cried, wtf is wrong with me??? Srsly, my heart just grew about 6 sizes or something from reading that fic. TOO FREAKING SWEET. Where has The Cab been all my life?!

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

hahahaha, i was going to say "UM THEY WEREN'T BORN YET, THEY ARE 12" but then i remembered that you're actually a bb as well, and have not had the experience certain others have of "HOLY FUCK THE CAB PLZ GET OLDER."

but yeah, i almost cried, too. i clearly appreciate porn and all, but i am suck a sucker for soft, snuggly boys, and they are just so uniformly precious. ♥

and dude, RYLAND. he is full of everything that is rad in the world, and i love him (and alex) so much more now after discovering this is ivy league, which i didn't even know existed until, like, a month ago. ♥

oh, my boys.

Yay to Amanda Seyfried (I want her to get recognition so bad! She's so versatile and talented), but I am, um, less than enthusiastic about the rest of the casting rumors.

[inlipstickred.livejournal.com]

yes! i meant to cheer for her, but i was too busy lolling at the idea of pete being cast in a real movie. because i love him to death, but dude CANNOT act, omg.

but eeeee for amanda! ♥

[andthatisthat.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I approve of any article that suggests the fabulous Amanda Seyfried struggles to find work. D:

HAHAHAHAHAHA I AM COMMENT SPAMMING YOU TODAY OUT OF BOREDOM.

I also heard a rumor that Chad Michael Murray is being considered. This is why life is amazing, you see, because THERE IS NO GOOD ALTERNATIVE IN THIS CASE. I cannot stop laughing.
