“Who would have figured Gatlin was so romantic?”
“Not only romantic, but romantic and righteous. It’s a wonderful combination, so-“
“Hypocritical?”
“Not at all. I was going to say American. Did you notice we delivered It Takes a Bible and Divinely Delicious Delilah to the very same house?”
“I thought that was a cookbook.”
“Not unless Delilah’s cooking up something quite a bit hotter than these chili chips.”
With an Oscar nomination and SAG Award in hand, Viola Davis has now found her next two projects, landing supporting roles in Summit Entertainment’s “Ender’s Game” and in Warner Bros. and Alcon’s “Beautiful Creatures.”
“Beautiful Creatures” will be helmed by Richard LaGravenese. Erwin Stoff, Alcon toppers Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson and Molly Smith are producing. The LaGravenese-penned adaptation of the Margaret Stohl-Kami Garcia tome follows two teens who must confront a curse that has haunted the girl’s family for generations.
Davis plays a librarian and friend of the teenage boy’s deceased mother who loves him like a son and will do whatever she can to protect him.
Alcon’s also obtained rights to the next two books in the Stohl-Garcia trilogy, “Beautiful Darkness” and “Beautiful Chaos.”
Summit will sell foreign rights to “Beautiful Creatures” at Berlin. Lensing will start in April in New Orleans.
Gavin Hood is helming “Ender’s Game,” starring Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford.
Hood penned the adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s novel. Set in Earth’s future, story follows a genius strategist recruited by the government to help destroy an insect-like alien race.
Davis will play a military psychologist who oversees the emotional welfare of young trainees. She also helps design the games that test their skills and resilience.
OddLot, K/O Paper Products and Digital Domain are production partners on “Ender’s Game.” OddLot’s Gigi Pritzker and Linda McDonough are producing with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman via their K/O Paper Products banner, as well as Lynn Hendee, Robert Chartoff and Card. OddLot’s Bill Lischak and K/O’s Mandy Safavi will exec produce with Digital Domain’s Cliff Plumer and Ed Ulbrich. Sierra/Affinity is handling foreign sales for the pic.
The plan is for Davis to shoot “Ender’s Game” first, with “Beautiful Creatures” following later in the year.
Davis is the second actress nominee this week to lock up a new project — on Monday, Rooney Mara landed the female lead in Steven Soderbergh’s “Side Effects.”
Davis is also developing an untitled skein for HBO with “Pariah” helmer Dee Rees.
She is repped by APA, Principal Entertainment and Michael Adler.

DUDE, I HAVE ENTERED EVERY SINGLE CONTEST/GIVEAWAY/WHATEVER THAT KIERSTEN HAS DONE AND ZILCH, SO, CLEARLY I DO NOT HAVE MAGIC EVIE/LEND POWERS. T________________T my creys forever
Nnnnnnn, Red Glove is so good though! I love Cassel! And Lila! And cursework!
Um, I’m trying to think what I’ve even read lately and enjoyed. You hated The Infernal Devices, y/n?
Ummm… ::wanders to bookshelf::
Unearthly, by Cynthia Hand. Or The Caster Chronicles. Or ANYTHING by e.lockhart OMG YOU MUST READ HER.
IDK, I haven’t been as thrilled with some of what I’ve picked up lately. I need to go to the bookstore next week.
LENA/ETHAN:
They spent so much time in the ground; so little in Gatlin.
CASSEL/LILA:
The keloid scars tasted like ashes under his tongue… and they burned.
(Besides The Panem Companion, which I am in equal parts excited about and made ill thinking about, LOL.)
I know I’m missing some. Grargh.
It’s finally happening! Bloody Disgusting is reporting that casting has begun for Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s YA series.
Alcon Entertainment is just now casting up for Beautiful Creatures, which will still put Richard LaGravenese behind the camera. Shooting is slated for April. No word if Warner Bros. is still distributing.
Never heard of The Caster Chronicles? Check out what Goodreads has for Beautiful Creatures:
Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she’s struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.
Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.
In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
Shooting is set to begin in April 2012 so casting should hopefully be done in a couple of months! Who would you like to see play Ethan, Lena, Link and the other characters?

Beautiful Darkness (via ohmyjellyfish)
TOTALLY MAKES SENSE TO ME.
Ethan + Ravenclaw for his great mind. (Or Hufflepuff, that could be debatable)
Link + Hufflepuff (MOST LOYAL FRIENDLIEST BEST EVER TBH)
Lena + Gryffindor (Quite a brave girl TBH!)
Ridley + HARD ONE , she is quite a cunning girl so Slytherin , but she is also brave in her own particular way and quite hot-headed , she could also fill in Gryffindor
Liv + RAVENCLAW RAVENCLAW RAVENCLAAAAW
Marian + RAVENCLAW IF I EVER SAW ONE (or Slytheriiiin)
Macon + Ravenclaw
Leah + Gryffindor
Amma + Gryffindor
Mr. Ethan’s Dad + Hufflepuff
Izabel (BCh SPOILEER) + Hufflepuff
I’d say that Ridley fits Gryffindor more than Slytherin to me, but I’m also just blindly against Sorting batshit evil/crazy people into Slytherin on principle, LOL. I think Amma is a Hufflepuff, too, just because she does everything she does out of loyalty to Ethan and the Wate family and the way of the Light. Macon, I’d put in Slytherin, though. But ITA about the main three!
