OlderJJJ Book Club: Cast Marie Lu's 'Legend'!
Before the JJJ Book Club shows off our pick for December, we have to know how many of our readers picked up a copy of Marie Lu‘s “Legend.”
We read a cool new interview with Ms. Lu on MTV about the book, concept and casting for the upcoming movie.
“Right now I sort of have a general look in my head,” she shared about casting the parts. “I see them in a particular way in my head, and I can’t think of anyone at the moment. I’m sure whoever they pick will be someone who matches up well. It will be exciting to see who they pick.”
So, let’s cast it for her! Check out the character descriptions below and tell us who’d you think would make the perfect fit:
Day: 15-year-old male with blonde hair and blue eyes. He stands 5’10″, with a Mongolian-Caucasian ethnicity. He’s also the country’s most wanted criminal.
June: 15-year-old female with dark brown hair and gold-brown eyes. She’s 5’4″ and is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic’s highest military circles.
WHO WOULD YOU CAST?

Are the auditions open to anyone????:) I hope so!!
For June: I love Malese Jow, and the entire time I was reading Legend, I pictured her with some slightly Asian features- black eyes, dark hair, etc.

Plus, she’s an extremely talented actress!
Unknown actors please!! Although I wouldn’t mind Sam Tan as Day. :)
I agree with those who recommended the open casting call. Everyone love to see an unknown actress…there could be someone just perfect for June, but no one’s discovered her just yet.
Malese Jow for June and Ezra Miller for Day.

I agree with the others who suggest an open casting call. It’d be more… awesome, I guess? And choosing unknown actors and actresses would be much cooler too. I just hope they find someone who seem relative to the characters. If not, I just hope they would find actors and actresses that could portray the characters from legend beautifully. I really hope the movie goes great.
@pansy25:
Yes! I’m in 100% agreement with you!
Lucas Till as Day, Hailee Steinfield as June. William Moseley as John or Thomas, maybe?
Hailee Stienfeld for June
i am an up and coming actress who is dying for the part of june i need it what can i do
I thank zendaya should be June
What movies have you played in
I agree with Liz and Daisy. I think Hailee Stienfeld would be a perfect match for June’s appearance. Got no idea for someone like Day since he’s a special character – a criminal with blond hair!
