Hi everyone--

I've been noticing a lot of talk about a Private movie or TV show, which would be awesome! So here's my question to you: who would you cast in the starring roles?

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for PRIVILEGE to come out on December 30th. Mark your calendars! What perfect holiday reading!

Love,
Kate

WOW!! Just Friggin WOW!! Ok, I have probably read about 25 to 30 books since finishing the Twilight Saga and I have to say this series shares the #1 spot with it!!! I started this series about a week ago and have not been able to quit!! I can't wait for Paradise Lost!! I really hope Josh and Reed get back together, I really love them...not to mention they really do love one another...timing was just bad...what with a psycho (or 2) getting in the way!! :) Plus I really think Ivy should be with Gage....seems as though she's the only one who can keep the boy grounded!! NOW for my character List: Reed: Alexis Bledel Josh: Ed Speleers..he can totally pull of the beautiful blonde curls and sweet/sexy character traits! Thomas: Steven Strait..The Covenant Ariana: Brittany Snow Noelle: Megan Fox Dash: Jesse Metcalf Gage: Ed Westwick

omg second comment!!!!i love last christmas so far ... its awsome!!! io think that Chase Crawford should play Josh. I think Noelle should be Nikki Reed ( she played in Twilight but with brown hair she could totally pull it off) ummm... Gage should be Kellan Lutz cause Gage seems like a muscular guy so i think that he could pull it off. i can't think of any right now but when i do i'll comment

Posted by christina on November 18, 2008 at 03:43 PM EST #

Sorry here is tmy full list on the chaaracters:) Thomas- Tom Welling Reed- Shenae Grimes Ariana- Taylor Momsen Noelle- Nikki Reed Josh- Chace Crawford Gage- Kellan Lutz Ivy- Jessica Stroup

Posted by Christina on November 18, 2008 at 04:07 PM EST #

tv show would be awesomeness....<333333333 Well, Kate, you can hold a casting thingy of the public.... or hold a contest on sugarloot like the clique, but, im not sure if there would be any good actors or actresses. Wait, TAYLOR MOMSEN or CHELSEA STAUB would be great actresses for taylor... Isabella Soric could be a Sabine....... that van der pol girl can be constance..nah.too old.....yeah thats all i got for now:)

Posted by Niya on November 18, 2008 at 04:29 PM EST #

Josh should deffinatley be played by Jesse McCartney, Noelle should be Megan Fox, Ariana should be played by Brittaney Snow, and that's all i could think off. But Brittaney Snow would be so perfect for Ariana as she has cold icy blue eyes and is a seriously good actress. Megan fox is really pretty and Noelle is described how Megan Fox looks so it would be perfect and megan can portray a mean girl. Jesse McCartney also has a cute baby face.

Posted by Kelsey on November 18, 2008 at 04:31 PM EST #

ROBBIE AMELL=PERFECT THOMAS!!! Too bad theres almost no perfect Josh:(((

Posted by Niya on November 18, 2008 at 04:31 PM EST #

hey kelsey:)

Posted by Niya on November 18, 2008 at 04:32 PM EST #

Kelsey: you are so Right for Ariana. brittnay snow would be AMAZING...idk who i would cast. but i LOVE the books =D. I want both the books out NOW lol... i borrowed the books from a friend so this year for christmas my whole list is like "book one, two, three....eight" lol! i don't know what else i want!

Posted by amanda s. on November 18, 2008 at 05:42 PM EST #

I have a questin for you Kate.... will there be anymore books in Private after the book that is coming out in Febuary???.. I love your book and when i start one i cant put it down,... i wish the series went on 4 ever.. it would never ever get old....

Posted by dominique on November 18, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

I can never do this because I always have such a clear picture of the characters in my head as I am reading it. But I will give it my best shot. Reed: Ellen Page she may be a little soft for the roll, but I think she could do it. Ariana: Hayden Panettiere Noelle: Megan Fox Josh: Chace Crawford YUMMY! that's all i got. . . lol

Posted by Brittany on November 18, 2008 at 07:24 PM EST #

HEY KATE ALL I COULD THINK OF IS NOELLE EVERY ONE IS RIGHT NOELLE:MEGAN FOX N JOSH:jesse mccartney dats all i got but no matter who i think it be great if u come up with a tv show or movie then thats great.. i will definetly watch what ever it is...

Posted by diana on November 18, 2008 at 07:46 PM EST #

That would be awesome! Reed-Kristen Stewart Noelle-Meg Fox Ariana-Brittany Snow Taylor-Alexis Bledel Kiran-Sophia Bush Dash-Drew Fuller Josh-Cody Linley Gage-Jesse Metcalfe Thomas-Chase Crawford Man That Would Be Great LOL

Posted by Lacey on November 18, 2008 at 09:18 PM EST #

Wait Josh would have to be RYAN PHILLIPPE!!!

Posted by Lacey on November 18, 2008 at 09:23 PM EST #

Kate, I just finished Revelation today and it was so amazing. Just like everyone else, i am addicted to these books. Ever since i started reading them i thought that they should be made into a tv show or movie!And I think since i have such a specific picture of the characters in my mind that it would be nice to cast some really good actors who no one knows about, like the undiscovered people, i think that the show or movie should be filled with great actors that are just as great and talented as your writing. I'm tired of seeing the same old people in movies and shows, this needs to be unique, and i think that if you were a part of the casting process then you could find the people that fit! :) Thank you for writing these books, they're great.

Posted by Britt on November 18, 2008 at 09:26 PM EST #

OMG. a movie would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! erm, for the characters, i've got a few ideas: > reed-willa holland ; > noelle-kristin kreuk/nikki reed ; > arianna-kristen bell ; > taylor-alexis bledel ; > kiran-ashley benson ; > thomas-chace crawford ; > josh-max thieriot/adam brody ; > cheyenne-shenae grimes ; > ivy-michelle trachtenerg ; > sabine-olga kurylenko/dania ramirez ; > dash-tom welling/william moseley ; > lorna-katharine isabelle ; > astrid-katie leung ; > gage-ed westwick ; > amberly-hayden panettiere. i cant think of anymore right now, but im really hyped for the show/movie, if there will be one(:

Posted by maisarah on November 18, 2008 at 10:38 PM EST #

Is there really going to be a movie or are you just asking who we see in our heads, as each character while we read? If there is going to a be a movie or t.v. show I think a movie would be better, because a t.v. show might now work out. Like gossip girl is so off from the books. Little about it is the same. If there were a movie then I think it would be amazing, because if anything changed about the private series then it would be really dissapoiting. So is there really going to be a movie? Are you thinking about it for real? I think you should definitely go for it!!

Posted by Becki on November 19, 2008 at 01:21 AM EST #

Hi Kate. Just finished reading Revelation. I must say, that was one hell of a cliff hanger. Though I'm still wondering where did Sabine's gun come from. That must have been quite uncomfortable carrying it with her while dancing. Anyways, Megan Fox can pull off Noelle's character and Britanny Snow as Arianna. As for Reed, I don't know. I haven't thought of anyone yet. About Reed and Josh, I think I'm the only who thinks they shouldn't be back together. At least for now. (sorry, not a big fan of Josh) Besides, he's with Ivy now - wow, he moved on faster than I thought (what kind of guy does that after what he and Reed have been through?)

Posted by Audrey on November 19, 2008 at 02:59 AM EST #

okay wait, how about Camilla Belle as Reed?

Posted by Audrey on November 19, 2008 at 04:41 AM EST #

i think you should do what the clique did when they made a movie where you gave fans the chance to try out it would be awesome and also i hope they do make a movie or show it would be awesome ^-^

Posted by Kia on November 19, 2008 at 02:50 PM EST #

o and again i think a movie would be awesome but wen i read it i actually see alot of my friends as the roles and i mean seriously thats who i picture ^-^ my friends wouldnt do some of the older things they do but some of their attitudes are loike exactly the same lol ^-^

Posted by Kia on November 19, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST #

ummm... sorry but Audrey i totally disagree with u on the whole josh thing. they should get back together it wouldn't be fair for her. first her "friend" kills her boyfriend then to have her other boyfriend completely forget!!! thats just cruelle to say the shouldn't get back together. beside they both made mistakes, BOTH OF THEM, not just reed. ohh and chace crawford totally makes a better josh then jesse mccarteny<- thats a little crazy.(chace also would NOT make a good Thomas)

Posted by christina on November 19, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST #

does this mean there's going to be a private tv show soon? that would be amazing! i think leighton meester would be an amazing noelle. and taylor swift looks like ariana, so it would be amazing if she could act. kristen stewart would be a good reed. otherwise, i'm not sure.

Posted by Becca on November 19, 2008 at 06:34 PM EST #

I would LOVE to play Noelle! sorry for all of you people who hate Noelle..... but what would the book be like without her!!

Posted by Madison on November 19, 2008 at 06:54 PM EST #

i just finished revelation. and i can tbelieve wat happened to reed. i really hope she didnt die, and that there will be another book where she wakes up in the hospital, w/ josh by her side. i dont agree w/ the others about josh. i like him, and i think him and reed should get back 2 gether b/c they are perfect for each other.Ivy and josh?no. I Do agree w/ the others about the movie thing. I most definitly think there should be a movie, or a series of shows.Megan fox-most deff. noelle. ariana-brittany snow. i was thinking for reed, maybe Kate Bosworth, but maybe she is too old..

Posted by Sa'a on November 19, 2008 at 07:23 PM EST #

i agree w/ everyone else, these books are totally addicting. Noelle, i didnt like her at first, but then i realized that everything she did, she did to protect reed, and so, in some ways, i kinda like noelle.wat do u guy think about Robbie Amell(max from life w/ derek)playing thomas pearson,or Gage?

Posted by Sa'a on November 19, 2008 at 07:29 PM EST #

hey ppl idk who i would want to be the cast nd bc of that i dont think that they should ruin the books because then if they pick a crappy person or who you wouldnt expect then it ruins it for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on November 19, 2008 at 07:43 PM EST #

I actually like to pair up the characters with the cover models they match up well haha. I just finished book 8 ( revelation ) and normally i lose interest in a series by now but i just cant stop reading it! My favorite character is probably either Ivy or Noelle, I knew Ivy would end up doing good. And also.. My guess is that Josh and Reed are going to get back together?

Posted by kenzie on November 19, 2008 at 07:43 PM EST #

For Reed- Alexis Bledel or Kristen Stewart for sure. Leighton Meester would be a good Noelle. Taylor- Kristen Bell. Ariana... I'm thinking Taylor Momsen. Dash, i'm not sure yet, maybe Kellan Lutz. Tom Welling is an awesome Thomas. Shenae Grimes, if with blond hair- Cheyenne. That's really all I have. I find no one would be a perfect Josh, not even McCartney. I'm just hoping, IF theres going to be a movie or tv show.. they'll cast a non-famous person, so it can be more interesting.

Posted by amber. on November 19, 2008 at 08:02 PM EST #

kk soooo thiss is myy list of charecterss for the movieee/t.v showw Noelle-Megan Foxx Reed- Alexis Bledel Ariana- Blake lively or Britneyy snow cuzz of the blond hair and blue eyes Kiran- Misha Barton Ivy- Rachel Bilson anddd thatss all i can thinkk of forr nowww :D

Posted by ashlyyy on November 19, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST #

Posted by ashlyyy on November 19, 2008 at 08:41 PM EST #

1) i'm gonna have to disagree with many people...i think britanny snow would make a terrible ariana. she's too innocent-looking 2) i reallyyyy want reed and josh to get back together 3)sophia bush would make a great kiran and drew fuller should be someone...idk who tho 4)i think jesse mccartney or chase crawford wouldnt be very good joshes...i think he needs a different look... 5)camilla belle would make the best reed 6) these are just my ideas...but personally, i think making a movie or tv show would kinda ruin the books...i think its better to leave it to our imaginations (:

Posted by noora on November 19, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST #

MEGAN: Sorry, I didn't respond to your last comment. But...if Thomas did grow up in a good family like Josh, do you think Thomas would have a totally different personality?? Like would he have that same charm he has if he grew up differently?

Posted by Jacqueline on November 19, 2008 at 09:24 PM EST #

i read these books over nd over again nd i just relized that reed is kinda mean to josh sometimes, when he was worried about her she was lyk well i can take care of my self nd he invited her to boston she 4got then when she was going 4 his family reunion she 4got about that nd when she had to chose between going to c where the invites came from nd the family reunion she chose 2 go with noelle even though she new that he really wanted her 2 go nd she was being kinda mean 2 him at the legacy when he wanted 2 go back home with her nd come on she new what he wanted 2 do who is gonna give up that with him 4 some party nd she should have understood that he wanted 2 leave bc come on he is at a party 4 drinking nd bangin nd he cant drink nd he dont wanna bang no 1 but her!!!!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on November 19, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST #

IS there going to be a move or a TV show??!!!????!!!???!!!????!!!????!!!???!!!

Posted by becca on November 19, 2008 at 10:36 PM EST #

a movie series would be freaking amazing.im not sure for all characters but i think noelle should be megan fox or nikki reed. they just seem to look like what i pictured noelle as and reed should be willa holland. she has that innocent look about her that i picture with reed.

Posted by em on November 19, 2008 at 10:38 PM EST #

To KIA: Hey it's okay. I like playing devil's advocate once in a while. Besides, it's Reed and Josh. No matter I don't want them to get back together soon, they will get together.

Posted by Audrey on November 20, 2008 at 06:03 AM EST #

I love your books!! A Private tv show would be the best thing ever! Who i think should play everyone: Reed-Willa Holland, Noelle-Nikki Reed/Megan Fox, Ariana-Brittany Snow, Kiran-Sophia Bush, Taylor-Taylor Momsen, Thomas-Robbie Amell, Josh-Jesse McCartney comes closest, Gage-Ed Westwick, Cheyenne-Hayden Penniterre, Dash-Kellan Lutz. Anywayz these are just my opinions. Keep writing!

Posted by Nicole on November 20, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST #

Omg I love your books I think it would be awesome if they got made into a movie. I don't know who I would cast in their roles as the characters are so unique.

Posted by Jenny on November 20, 2008 at 11:07 AM EST #

Would it be released in the uk too? it would suck if i couldn't watch it. anyways my (small) cast list: Gage: Ed Westwick Taylor: Amanda Seyfried Kiran: Lacey Chabert Noelle: Megan Fox I dont really have any idea though!

Posted by girlwithapearl on November 20, 2008 at 01:53 PM EST #

I love the idea and i think that a movie or tv show would be awesome, you should do that I hold auditions everywhere, like Idaho, cuz I wanna try and get a part. Maybe of Noelle, she is my fav.

Posted by Mechasylum on November 20, 2008 at 02:08 PM EST #

I WOULD LOVEE TO BE IN THAT MOVIE OR SHOW WILL ZYOU BE HOLDING AUDITION OR SOMETHING?!?!? i would do ANYTHING TO BE IN THAT SHOW ANYTHING

Posted by CHRISTIE on November 20, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST #

Willa Holland = Reed Brennan. Haha, if the books were ever made into a tv series/movie I don't think that I could deal with anyone else playing that role!

Posted by Marley on November 20, 2008 at 03:27 PM EST #

HmM.....preferably actors who are under 21, NOT on Gossip Girl or from the Disney Channel. I swear if someone suggests Miley Cyrus......

Posted by Haley on November 20, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST #

oooh i think that willa holland from the oc would make a good reed

Posted by Rose on November 20, 2008 at 03:50 PM EST #

MAX THIERIOT SHOULD PLAY JOSH!!!!!

Posted by Jessica on November 20, 2008 at 03:58 PM EST #

Kate! omg! I WOULD LOVE IF THE PRIVATE BOOKS BECAME I MOVIE!! I LOVE THEM!! My cousin recommended I read these books when we were on a trip hom for NYC, now I thank her every day, because they're awesome! You are a great writer! I hope reed and josh get back together. I wish your series would never end, cuz it's the best! It's way better than Twilight! So here's my list of characters- in the next post...

Posted by Jillian I love the private books!! on November 20, 2008 at 04:39 PM EST #

Noelle-The girl in the middle of the first private book (She's the PERFECT Noelle) Josh-Jesse Mcartney (I don't like him that much, but he has such a bay face and if he curled his hair, then he'd be the perfect Josh!) Reed- hmmm I didn't do her first, cuz I have no clue, but she needs to be just right, cuz shes the main character.. maybe Kirsten Stewart yeah! Ariana- I just really think the girl who plays her on the cover would be perfect.

Posted by Jillian I love the private books!! on November 20, 2008 at 04:40 PM EST #

-Not sure about Kiran, Taylor or Natasha. Ivy- Christy Carlson Romano Thomas- Steven Strait or Tom Welling or even Robbie Amell (maybe) Gage- Ed westwick, there really just is no other guy to perfectly play the role of gage. He'd be great! Missy-Someone mean looking Lorna-Ellen Page, She can totally pull off that mousy look. The girl who plays Ariana has to pul all the perfect mysterious look and make the scene where she tries to murder Reed really lifelike. She has to have murder in her eyes practically. So that's my cast! Oh, and theres this girl who sits across from me in my art class and she'd be the perfect Sabine. She really looks JUST like her. Although I'm not sure if she's interested in acting. She even has the sweet innocent look going on.

Posted by Jillian I love the private books!! on November 20, 2008 at 04:41 PM EST #

whoops I put my name as jessica in the first post I made before my list..thats really weird!

Posted by Jillian I love the private books!! on November 20, 2008 at 04:42 PM EST #

I think that Alexis Bledel or Victoria Justice should play Redd Brennan, Ashley Tisdale should play Taylor,Michelle Pfeifferor Megan Fox for Noelle, Britney Snow or Sara Paxton for Ariana, Hayden Panettiere or Sara Paxton for Natasha, Kiran's hard to think of, Matt Czuchry for Dash.. mabey Gage? Milo Ventimiglia for Thomas, Jared Padalecki for Josh..That's all I got!

Posted by Rachel on November 20, 2008 at 05:55 PM EST #

i think you should do a branch of in joshs point of view. i love these books i cant put them down and i cant belive its over , i dont really care about ariana i care about josh and easton accademy soooo please i think itd be so much better if you could also branch off in joshs point of view

Posted by Hannah on November 20, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST #

and definatley a move or tv series that be awesome!!!!

Posted by Hannah on November 20, 2008 at 06:21 PM EST #

umm matthew underwood with blonde hair as josh haha hes sexy nd idk

Posted by jennie on November 20, 2008 at 06:22 PM EST #

you know im always open for a role ;)

Posted by Hannah on November 20, 2008 at 06:23 PM EST #

taylor lautner would be great for someone sooo hot

Posted by Hannah on November 20, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST #

omg!!! that would be so freakin awesome of Private were to become a movie or tv show. though i think tv show would probably fit the numerous books better. as of who to cast, well there are a lot of celebs, and that would be kinda hard. definately something to ponder. i think the girl thats playing Bella in Twilight would be great thogh for Reed.

Posted by Beth on November 20, 2008 at 06:28 PM EST #

I loved the last book. as for the post about a movie or tv show i think the actors and actresses comming into the roles should be vertiually no names. now my reasoning behind that is when you get a bunch of big names together it can be either a huge flop or a huge hit. another reason is that most of the actors and actresses being named are big names and are sterotyped to a role. what is needed is to make someone new to make the role what it should be. with someone that is sterotyped comming we will be expecting nothing be greatness from them. if its someone else it won't be that hard if it strays from the books a bit. also i noticed that the people being mentioned are well into there twenties while some can pull off the i'm still in high school look most can't i want something that looks real.

Posted by mallory on November 20, 2008 at 06:44 PM EST #

reed:jessica stroup josh:jacob kraemer noelle:ashley leggat kiran:erin sanders sabine:victoria justice costance:lindsey lohan dash:scott porter arianna:amber heard gage:cam gigandet nd if anyone doesnt no who jacob kraemer is go 2 google images nd look him up he is sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on November 20, 2008 at 06:46 PM EST #

Oh my god! i just finish revelation and i am freaking out at the end! i know i sound stopid but i just want to know what happens!!!!

Posted by kaylin on November 20, 2008 at 07:36 PM EST #

OMG!! Reed should be either to me blake Lively she's such an amazing woman or That girl from 90210! And I have the best idea for Ariana ... JENNY FROM GOSSIP GIRL!!!! All the way!

Posted by Lo on November 20, 2008 at 08:53 PM EST #

i bought the first two books because they were advertised in a few of my favorite books. after i finished reading it i made my dad rush m to Borders to get the rest of them. i ended up reading a book a day. i couldnt get enough of them. i was so dissapointed ti know that there would be no more books after this one. but today i found out paradise island is coming out. i cant wait to see what happened after the last book's surprising ending!!!!!!!!!! btw i think thomas should be played by jacob black from twilight. i think josh could be cody linley. i think kiran can be 1 of those victoria secret models, i mean after all modeling is all about acting so i think one of them could pull it off.

Posted by Ree on November 20, 2008 at 09:12 PM EST #

josh should be jacob kraemer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:]

Posted by jennie on November 20, 2008 at 10:10 PM EST #

Okay so this is wayyyy of topic. But i just finished reading the books (IM HOOKED! I NEED MORE!) HOW COULD YOU KILL REED!!! I was going to like shoot myself! AHHHHH I like lived for those books! I mean i read each one in like 2 hours! And heres on the topic. I hope you don't make a tv show because i dont have a tv (no im not poor just stupid rentals) so you really should make a movie! I think Blake Lively should be one of the girls

Posted by Winona on November 20, 2008 at 11:27 PM EST #

ya guys stop casting people who are like old. lol. private should have actors who are relatively unknown or like semi-famous. oh and jesse mccartney makes me wanna barf. ; ) just sayin.

Posted by Shannon on November 21, 2008 at 12:50 AM EST #

oh and winona, i highly doubt that reed is dead. noone knows who got shot, but i don't think that kate brian would kill off the main character. llol it wouldn't make sense.

Posted by Shannon on November 21, 2008 at 12:51 AM EST #

Yea um Shannon, I was just wondering what you have against Jesse McCartney. If you dont like his music I undertand, but he is a good looking guy and an AHMAZING actor. If you dont beleive me then look up on youtube scenes from the recent Law and Order episode he was on and Summerland episodes and also videos dating back to when he was a little kid on All My Children. He is very dramatic. He can make himself cry for scenes so easily and he really makes you believe in what he is acting. Im not saying that you are, but you really should not judge him on his music. He is a gentleman and very sexy for many other reasons, besides his baby face. Sorry, I just have to defend him because Ive loved him since Dreamstreet! Im not trying to be mean, I just want to know why he "makes you barf"

Posted by Becki on November 21, 2008 at 02:25 AM EST #

you shouldn't do open auditions or like the clique did. the clique was an extremely bad acted movie. i think shenae grimes would be a great reed [= and i think you should have younger actors/actresses not ones that are in their mid twentys.. (: leighten meester would be great somewhere in the movie too, shes a great actress. and about the reed getting shot i think she got shot but she didnt die. because you know she got shot by it saying how it "went black" meaning she blacked out.

Posted by Emily on November 21, 2008 at 09:33 AM EST #

haha no offense taken becki!! i actually used to have a crush on him when i was 13/14 back in his "beautiful soul" days lol. but ya im over him n i really don't think that he is attractive at all anymore. sorry! beauty is in the eye of the beholder i suppose.......anyway i did see his "leavin'" music video and.....um.....it wasn't very "gentlemanly" to use your word. but whatever. plus he doesn't even have that good of a singing voice.....

Posted by Shannon on November 21, 2008 at 10:39 AM EST #

i love yer books, there cool.

Posted by Jade on November 21, 2008 at 01:53 PM EST #

alot of people have been saying kristen stewart for reed, and personally i dont like her, she doesnt show enough emotion :[ but i think that alexis begil (spelled wrong(rory from gilmore girls)) would be better she has like this innocent vibe that i think reed has when compared to noelle, and Arriana(when she first comes to Easton)

Posted by Amanda on November 21, 2008 at 03:04 PM EST #

me agian!! :}Audrey: your comment was from awhile ago but oh well! you are not the only one who doesnt like josh all that much, to me he seems to clinggy and sorry to say but boring at times, and for my tastes id rather have someone who would try and get me to do things that i would never do on my own...and see with josh i dont see that. I also think that he is sort of butting where he doesnt belong (BILLINGS) sorry but although the girls might be mean to others there not to reed, she is one of "them" DONT YELL AT ME JUST MY THOUGHHTSS!

Posted by Amanda on November 21, 2008 at 03:12 PM EST #

Ariana-Arielle Kebbel.Cheyenne-Rachel McAdams. Reed-Shenae Grimes.Kiran-Megan Fox.Dash-Channing Tatum/Alex Pettyfer. I don't think anybody could pull off Josh. Gage-Ed Westwick. I kno Constance is a red haired person, but Malin Akerman? Ivy-Blake Lively? But you know what would be the coolest? The models on the Private Cover.

Posted by Carrie on November 21, 2008 at 03:50 PM EST #

No no no no no! Pleeeeeeeease do not let them turn this series into a movie! I love these novels so much, I'd hate to see them be ruined by the cinema. :P That's exactly what happened with Twilight... I read that waaaay before anyone else had even heard of it and then when the movie comes out, everyone starts reading it. The movie completely ruined the book. It's so overrated now. I don't want Private to end up like that!

Posted by Brianna on November 21, 2008 at 03:53 PM EST #

TWILIGHT CAME OUT TODAY......YIPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Posted by Katelyn on November 21, 2008 at 04:00 PM EST #

Reed-Kirsten Stewart, Noelle-Nikki Reed, Kiran-Megan Fox, Gage-Ben Scholfield, Dash-Kellan Lutz, Josh-No one can pull him off but i think Riley Smith). Cheyanne-Rachel McAdams, ariana-Brittany Snow, Taylor-Model off of the confession cover (orange shirt) ivy-emily browning Vienna and London-Amanda Seyfried and Lauren Mayhew but thats just me

OMG!!! is anyone going as crazy as I am for Paradise Lost to come out!!! i'm dying here! i have to know what's going to happen next! These are the best books EVER and i'm practically advertising them to anyone who hasn't heard of them!!! They're so ADDICTIVE!!!

Posted by Mariama on November 21, 2008 at 05:52 PM EST #

If this a TV show or a movie; it could be an unknown actors not these fancy A-listers starts, a TV movie will do not a TV show; it might be sucks and ratings will be downhill of cancels for real and movies will be cost tons of money if they sold out. So there... i say it!

Posted by Danny on November 21, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST #

Noelle Lange: Megan Fox/The cover model in the green sweater in Invitation Reed Brennan: Amanda Bynes Ariana Osgood: Brittany Snow/The cover model in the Orange Lacoste shirt in Confession. Kiran Hayes: The cover model in The It Girl by: Cecily von Ziegesar Taylor Bell: Eileen Boylan Cheyenne Martin: The cover model in Lucky by: Cecily von Ziegesar Thomas Pearson: Channing Tatum Josh Hollis: Robbie Amell Constance Talbot: Nikki Reed Sabine Dulac: Kirsten Storms Dash McCafferty: Jake Abel Ivy Slade: Adrianne Leon Personally, please don't cast a lot of actors/actress who are in Gossip Girls and High School Musical. Let's developed Private with its own image and not those of Gossip Girls and High School Musical.

Posted by Claudia on November 21, 2008 at 06:00 PM EST #

I love Private as a novel. If it was to become a TV show then it would be better than a movie (considering that the movie requires a lot of sequels to follow), but on the downside already having Gossip Girls on TV might draw similarities with Private. In the mean time, let's just go on with the book. Ooh and I love a shot to play Noelle Lange. She is uber-fabulous. =)

Posted by Claudia on November 21, 2008 at 06:08 PM EST #

I think Leighton Meester who plays Blair on Gossip Girl would be a great Noelle, Ed Westwick who plays Chuck fits Gage pretty well, i haven't figured out a Josh yet, Brenda Song would play one of the roles of the Twin City pretty well, Ashley Tisdale could be Candace, and Reed could be Kristen Stewart who plays Bella in the Twilight movie.

Posted by Mariama on November 21, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST #

im tellin you ppl jacob kraemer would be the perfect josh he is tall has kinda curly hair and he is built like kate describes him aha nd he is sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (:

Posted by jennie on November 21, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST #

For me, Noelle, Reed and the guys are toughies- I seriously cannot think of any actors that look like them! But I did manage to think up a few: Ariana.....Alyson Michalka (from "Aly and Aj") Ivy.....Megan Fox (from "Transformers") Kiran.....Camilla Belle (from "3,000 B.C.") If there's a TV show, maybe Robert Pattinson wouldn't mind guest starring as Thomas for a few episodes?

Posted by Aamina on November 21, 2008 at 07:22 PM EST #

i would totaly play in the movie. just email..mr.

Posted by Lauganaia gabriel on November 21, 2008 at 08:56 PM EST #

OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR BOOKS...YOU ARE SUCH AN AWESOME AUTHOR!...WELL THE MOVIE I THINK WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH TO CAPTURE EVERYTHING THAT THE PRIVATE SERIES IS...A TV SHOW ON THE OTHER HAND SOUNDS GREAT!!! I JUST HOPE THAT IT'S AS GREAT AS THE BOOKS!!!

Posted by Silvia A. on November 21, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST #

please hold open auditions! im not just being stupid, i think i could make an amazing Reed. shes just like me, im an aspiring actress, and id totally dye my hair brown....i have ivory skin, blue eyes, im only 5'5 but still! pretty please?

Posted by Mary Jo on November 21, 2008 at 09:26 PM EST #

Hi, I'm really sorry that my comment is going to be off topic but, can you tell us who each person is on the cover photos? I'm very confused about this matter and would like to know who is who...:P Thanks for taking the time to read this.:) Also, I love all of your books. You are very talented and I am greatly anticipating your next book or series :) xo<3 Also I had no Idea Paridise Lost was comming out.. I'm super excited... I can't even sit still.... LITERALLY.:)

Posted by Melissa on November 21, 2008 at 09:53 PM EST #

omg! i just finished Revelation today, did reed die? is there going to be a next book??

Posted by emily on November 21, 2008 at 10:21 PM EST #

hi me again!! ps luv the books!!!!!!!

Posted by emily on November 21, 2008 at 10:36 PM EST #

HELL this series beats twilight! oh the twilight movie SUCKED! i think you're better off keeping this as a novel no offense or anything. you're series is number one on my list of books. (ps: I READ A LOOOOT)

Posted by Marylee Anne on November 22, 2008 at 01:24 AM EST #

It seemed on Paradise Lost Reed will be back in Billings.

BUt wouldn't it be interesting if Reed rejected Noelle's invitation in going back to Billings and stay in Pemberly for good with what's left of her pride and dignity? For all the bad things that had happened to her (almost killed twice), surely, she had learned a thing or two.

Camilla Belle as Reed.

Posted by Audrey on November 22, 2008 at 08:46 AM EST #

i would love to be reed. we've gone through basically the same things, and just reading this story i felt as if i was in her place & feeling her emotions. i could relate to her pretty well. just post a blog if you're really going to do it. also, is there going to be a book after revelation. im so excited to see what happens (:

Posted by leslie on November 22, 2008 at 09:15 AM EST #

Well...I think Kate briana described the characters. I looked Private series up and on Wikipedia...apparently, Kate Brian said in an interview or something like that. First Private Book:girl on the back cover-Kiran Hayes, middle girl on the front-Noelle Lange. Girl whispering to Noelle-Taylor Bell

Posted by Natalie on November 22, 2008 at 09:44 AM EST #

Josh as Jesse is SOO WRONG!!! Does he even have blue eyes????? Whatevs, anyways, he seems too young to play Josh and he is sooo not hot enough. So.........no. But does anyone know robbie amell, Caseys new bf from Life With derek? The one with the black hair and blue eyes? He was in Picture This with Ashley Tisdale. Well he would be perf for thomas<3

Posted by Niya on November 22, 2008 at 12:00 PM EST #

And I would never be able to play anyone in these books. hehe. Im black... ps. I know they have tiffany and natasha but im prob. lighter and im only 14 and im only 5'5,lolz. Anyways, I guess I would be able to play one of those random people in the background who tend to overact and stare into the camera lens.Im an awesome actress though. I was just asking my aunt, whose a model and an actress to coach me or become my manager, or some Cr@p like that... She wanted me to do modeling but I would like acting SO MUCH better:)

Posted by Niya on November 22, 2008 at 12:09 PM EST #

I would love to have a movie about this series i just finished reading ambition and revelation and i was wondering when the next one will be out i dont mean last christmas but the ninth book

Posted by Christy on November 22, 2008 at 12:49 PM EST #

I would love a movie series when is the ninth book after revelation coming out?

Posted by Christy on November 22, 2008 at 12:50 PM EST #

Christy the ninth book (Paradise Lost) comes out in february. <3

Posted by Megan on November 22, 2008 at 01:17 PM EST #

Hy. I don't have a clue,who would be best. But if you pick pick someone for Thomas,pick someone with a though/rough look.=P When i read the book,i imagined him with dark hair and stuff..=) That would be awesome. I would look anyway!=D

Posted by Marlies. on November 22, 2008 at 01:53 PM EST #

Reed-Willa Holland; Noelle-Alice Greczyn; Ariana-Sara Paxton; Kiran-Maiara Walsh; Taylor-Ashley Benson; Thomas-Mitch Hewer; Dash-I have no idea; Gage-David Henrie; Josh-Max Thieriot. haha they are all relatively unknown/semi-famous actors and that's the way to go!!

Posted by Lucy on November 22, 2008 at 02:40 PM EST #

Marylee Anne: i totally agree that this should be kept a series too! but my friend who is a die hard book fanatic(she is even writing a book) loved the twilight movie! lol

Posted by maria on November 22, 2008 at 03:24 PM EST #

what really bugs me is how everyone is saying that those incredibly famous actors should be in the movie or tv show IF it will happen. like, jesse mccartney and robbie amell? no offense, just saying. especially when theyre.. a tad or bit to old. like megan fox? she doesnt seem like a 17 year old, dont you think? it would be cool if they would cast like, a semi-famous person instead. thats my opinion.

Posted by Emma on November 22, 2008 at 03:47 PM EST #

i agree with emma. stop suggesting megan fox/jesse mccartney/or tom welling? haha they are all too old especially tom welling who is like 30 and married. try to branch out and find actors who ARENT on 90120 or gossip girl either.

Posted by Caitlin on November 22, 2008 at 05:47 PM EST #

OMGG, a nineth book! Are you kidding me? This is freakin' amazing! I absolutely adore your books, and I also got my friend into them. We can't wait for privilege and want tickets to the movie premiere, wish we sooo hope there is one! I am sooo excited for the nineth book, all your books in this series I read within well probably a week, I swear I could never put them down!! Your an amazing writer and I truely can't wait for what's to come. thank you so much for writing these books they are beyond magnificent!!!!! I'M SOO SYYYKED!@#$%^& :)

Posted by Taylor :) on November 22, 2008 at 08:19 PM EST #

Posted by Bella on November 23, 2008 at 12:08 AM EST #

Posted by Bella on November 23, 2008 at 12:09 AM EST #

yeah shannon you are entitled to your opinion but as for the leavin video...most people his age are doing stuff like that. you should watch his new video for its over...totally amazinggg and also people for the movie we hsouldnt have actors/actresses that are in gossip girl or twilight because they already have a certain image...private is gonna be like the rival movie or show so they cant have the same people.

Posted by Becki on November 23, 2008 at 12:32 AM EST #

I think that if you make a tv show you should wait till the whole series si over. I HATE it when i cant remember how they used to look to me. I think that reed would be the model on the back of untouchable, noelle as the model on the front of untouchable with the pink sweater but with longer hair, arriana as the model with the ponytail on the front of the book untouchable too and taylor as the girl in the orange shirt on the front of confessions so ya:)

Posted by jenny on November 23, 2008 at 01:18 AM EST #

please read my comment above thanks!!

Posted by jenny on November 23, 2008 at 01:21 AM EST #

sorry but i have to disagree with noelle as megan fox and josh as jesse mccartney. i think it will ruin how the character is protrayed. in the first book, the model in the very middle is exactly how i picture noelle and then kiran to her right and arianna on the left with reed on the back. you should base how the actors look by the models from the first book unless the models become the actors! that would be perfect:)

Posted by kayla on November 23, 2008 at 04:01 AM EST #

please use the cover models as the actors!! because i've always pictured them in my mind when i'm reading the series!! It woild be soooo awesome if the models could be the actors!! If someone else is gonna be the actors.. i don't think it would be the same feeling anymore while reading the book! anyway, it's just a suggestion! I love PRIVATE!!

Posted by Khei on November 23, 2008 at 05:27 AM EST #

I just watched this movie called "Her Best Move" and thought the girl who played Sara (Leah Pipes) is a perfect candidate to play Reed. Slap some darker hair on her and she is perfect for the part.

Posted by Elizabeth on November 23, 2008 at 11:31 AM EST #

ewwww why the hell is everyone casting jesse mccartney? his career is totally dead and he is so not cute. ugh. and megan fox is too much of a skank to play noelle.

Posted by Nina on November 23, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST #

I think Chace Crawford(without the scruff) should play Dash, not Josh. Honestly, I don't think there's anyone who would be perfect for Josh. Megan Fox would be a great Noelle, but Kaya Scodelario(she's British) would be perfect. I just saw her and this other girl, Imogen Poots, in Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood issue, and I think Imogen would be a perfect Ariana. Robert Pattinson(Twilight) would be a great Thomas, he's got that perfect grungy school boy look. Taylor Momsen would be a pretty good Taylor, and I can't think of a good Kiran(maybe one of the models, since she is one)

Posted by Cass on November 23, 2008 at 12:42 PM EST #

Oh and one more thing! Don't make it into a TV show, TV always ruins books!(look at Gossip Girl, it has nothing to do with them!). A movie would be much better

Posted by Cass on November 23, 2008 at 12:43 PM EST #

umm jacob kraemer 4 josh hollis look him up he is so hawt!!!!!!!!:)

Posted by jennie on November 23, 2008 at 12:48 PM EST #

Ariana- Brittany Snow, Noelle- Megan Fox. I dont know who to pick for the others though :P I can't wait for Privilege! And i'm completely blown away by the ending of Revelation. gahhh i wanna know what happens!

Posted by rose on November 23, 2008 at 12:50 PM EST #

Omg!!! I think a movie/tv show would be awesome!!! Hmmmm for the starring role i would probably get some of the cover models to do it. But don't do any of the current celebrities because that would be bad for the movie because of tabloids and stuff that might give the show a bad rep! Do some rising stars or pick some random pretty people that look like they could do the part! Hope my advice was helpful kate!!! love erin

Posted by Erin! on November 23, 2008 at 02:26 PM EST #

Hey kate. I only have two suggestions for right now but here they are. I think that Francia Raisa would be perfect for Kiran. Then i think that Tom Welling could work out good for Thomas.

Posted by Lanie on November 23, 2008 at 02:53 PM EST #

wow! a movie would be awsome. i think instead of having actors that are already famous why not use the movie as an opportunity to give someone the life long dream of being a star. hold auditions, maybe even in toronto? :P

Posted by nicole on November 23, 2008 at 06:00 PM EST #

here is who i would cast for the private movie: Reed Brennan ~ Willa Holland Kiran Hayes ~ Francia Raisa Taylor Bell ~ Sara Paxton Ivy Slade ~ Lauren Leech Thomas Pearson ~ Tom Welling Amberly Carmicheal ~ Dakota Fanning Thats all that i have to far. Post more later.

Posted by Lanie on November 23, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST #

omg i was like just talking about this w/ my friens we've been like planning our own cast and everything!!! so here it is!Willa Holland or Blake Lively- Reed Megan Fox Jesse Mccartney- Josh Dilshad Vadsaria- Sabine Jessica Lowndes- Ivy Hayden Panettiereand Laura Vandervoort- twin cities Chace Crawford- Dash Lucy Hale- Portia Jessica Szohr- Natasha or Kiran Emma Roberts- Taylor Ashlee Tisdale- Missy Ellen Page- Lorna Taylor Momson- amberly Tad Hilgenbrink- Thomas! Please make it a movie or book!!

Posted by nikki on November 23, 2008 at 06:43 PM EST #

OMG!!! I love your books, I can't wait until PARADISE LOST or Suspicion is published. When are the dates for when they come out? I don't know who could play the characters but my friends and I are working on it!! Can't wait till the rest come out! I ? them! More later, Abbey

Posted by abbey on November 23, 2008 at 06:50 PM EST #

okay now i know you should leave this as a book. i just saw the twilight movie and it frustrated me soo mucch. the scene was all screwed up and just bad acting. <3

Posted by Megan on November 23, 2008 at 07:08 PM EST #

i love your books but and think that you should make the caracters the cover models on the books!! thats wat Iv thought they looked like the whole book and it would ruin it if you picked people that didnt look like them!! thanks p.s jesse mcartney ewww! not a good josh and meghan fox is not a good noelle but maybe a good kiran but idk? I love your books sooo much!

Posted by kirsten on November 23, 2008 at 07:12 PM EST #

jacob kraemer 4 josh hollis he is hot!!!!!!!!!!! nd i def hope reed nd josh get back 2gether they r so cute nd he is just 2 good 4 ivy!!! ivy may have not have been a murderer but she sure is a big B but it was kinda nice 4 her to help reed 2 find out that it was Sabine nd i used 2 like sabine but she was a looney fo sho haha i wanna no y none of these girls that were such good friends with sabine never new that sabine was her sis?? haha ta ta talk later :)

Posted by jennie on November 23, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST #

josh should be played by jacob kraemer look him up he is hawt!!!!! haha i say that all the time

Posted by jennie on November 23, 2008 at 10:43 PM EST #

on a roll i guess this is my 3rd comment in a row haha i have a question 4 you kate brian will you change the name tags with dif discriptions when more books come out??

Posted by jennie on November 23, 2008 at 10:50 PM EST #

all of you are naming people that are too young or too old and jesse is amazing but would not be perfect for this movie...maybe he could play someone besides josh im jsut not sure who.

Posted by Becki on November 24, 2008 at 01:13 AM EST #

Hey Kate, I know you hear this all the time but i love your books soooooo much. You should use Alex Frost for something, he would make a perfect thomas but it seems to be a shame to only use him a few times! Definetly make a movie instead of a tv show and i dont think it matters if ther big famous actors who play them as long as they seem right to you. haha i'm always there to fill up a role! keep writing your doing the world a favor!

Posted by karina fox on November 24, 2008 at 01:47 AM EST #

Posted by karina on November 24, 2008 at 01:48 AM EST #

i ahve no idea why it said Becki

Posted by karina on November 24, 2008 at 01:49 AM EST #

Hi Kate!! I love your books and it was be totally awesome if Private was made into a tv show or movie!!! I think that Willa Holland would make a good Reed.

Posted by Kaylin on November 24, 2008 at 09:12 AM EST #

I loved Last Christmas!! Daniel was a player. Ariana was too good for him but just because Thomas didnt love her doesnt mean she had to kill him! I'm sorry but I have a thing for Josh Hollis and Thomas Pearson. Anyway, when I read revelation, did Reed get shot or was it Josh? I really hope they get back together and I hope they are all okay. But if someone can just tell me that would be great! and yes there should totally be a movie on the first book.

Posted by Mallory on November 24, 2008 at 04:05 PM EST #

If the Private Series ever become a show or movie these actors/actresses should play the part! Josh Hollis: Alex Pettyfer; Thomas Pearson: Adam Gregory; Noelle Lange: Megan Fox; Ariana Osgood: Sara Paxton; Taylor Bell: Brittany Snow; Gage Coolidge: Channing Tatum; Amberly Carmichael: Taylor Momsen; I couldn't find one for Reed because she is like the most important character!

Posted by Tinsley on November 24, 2008 at 04:41 PM EST #

kate! u got me soo hooked on this book I am just DYING for lost paradise! and if u do cast a movie i agree with everyone Noelle-Megan Fox Josh- Jesse Mcartney (no more twlight actors.. that movie was a tottally fail espiecially kristen steward, she looked so consipated and lack of acting skills if u watched it u have too admit she kept twitching..so anoying)

Posted by Evelyn on November 24, 2008 at 04:49 PM EST #

As long as you CAST a Noelle that makes the show as it makes the books I GATTA LOVE NOELLE she's the queen b that makes the books

Posted by Lena on November 24, 2008 at 04:58 PM EST #

I have a pretty long list of who i would currently cast for the charactors of private. Here we go: Reed Brennan--Willa Holland Noelle Lange--Megan Fox Kiran Hayes--Francia Raisa Arianna Osgood--Taylor Momsen Taylor Bell--Sara Paxton Constance Talbot--Renee Olstead Ivy Slade--Lauren Leech Thomas Pearson--Tom Welling Dash Mcaffery--Max Thieriot Amberly Carmicheal--Dakota Fanning Thats all for now but ill have more later. lanie

Posted by Lanie on November 24, 2008 at 05:05 PM EST #

Hey Kate, here is my list: Noelle-Leighton Meester Reed-Shailene Woodley Arianna-Blake Lively Gage-Ed Westwick Dash-Taylor Lautner Josh-Connor Paolo Taylor-Taylor Momsen that's all I can think of right now.

Posted by Alexrz on November 24, 2008 at 05:36 PM EST #

AH Lanie I agree with you on a lot!! Willa Holland like = Reed & Renee Olstead is the perfect Constance! However I think that Sara Paxton would be a better Ariana then Taylor and that Max Thieriot would be a better Josh than Dash. OH and Dakota Fanning as AMberly is perfect! haha that's how I pictured her. Tom Welling though is really old.....so I'm gunna have to disagree on that. I also think that Selena GOmez would be a good Ivy. Oh and Ms. Brian I totally LA LOOOOVE your books!! Can't wait for Paradise Lost!

Posted by Harper on November 24, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST #

ahhhh please PLEASE dont make this into a movie/book!! it always ruins it!! i like it just as a book. LOOK AT THE DISASTER TWILIGHT WAS. it was the worst movie i have ever seen in my entire life.

Posted by Noora on November 24, 2008 at 06:13 PM EST #

movie/tv show***

Posted by Noora on November 24, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST #

Why does everyone think Taylor Momsen would be a good Ariana? She's way too young looking, Ariana supposed to be sophisticated and cool. Taylor Momsen would be better as Taylor than Ariana. Sara Paxton still seems too young looking for me, not icy enough! Maybe find an unknown for Ariana, or use Imogen Poots! Look her up, she'd be almost perfect! I totally agree with Alexrz on Gage, Ed Westwick is perfect, just cause his character Chuck and Gage are soooo alike! Alex Pettyfer would make a great Josh, and also look up Kaya Scodelario! She'd be a great Noelle or maybe Kiran!

Posted by Cass on November 24, 2008 at 07:48 PM EST #

a lot of ppl are like ur picking ppl who are 2 young or to old but jacob kraemer would be perfect he is eight teen nd super sexy he would fit the character of josh so well!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on November 24, 2008 at 08:24 PM EST #

does any 1 have 1 of these books in the series that is just there fav??

Posted by jennie on November 24, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST #

why does everyone want to cast young actors? PLEASE dont turn this into some disney channel lame movie Im so hoping for sophistcated OLDER actors not like these Disney channel actors.....and Megan fox-Noelle would be a good one

Posted by alison on November 24, 2008 at 09:42 PM EST #

Well keep in mind that the characters in Private are between the ages of 15-18......Obviously the person who portrays them needs to look youthful. I think that the actors should be teenagers because it would be more realistic. GOssip Girl and 90120 cast 20 somethings into high school roles and it just looks fake. Seriously, like the boys at my high school don't look like Chace Crawford.

Posted by Harper on November 24, 2008 at 10:23 PM EST #

I totally agree with all of those who think that "no names" should play the parts. For one, there can be a problem with expecting some good acting out of someone who you think is great, but then they blow the acting for one of these parts and then the movie or show would be horrible. Second, some of the people who are choosing actors from the book series show "Gossip Girl" need to realize that it's not really great to "overuse" actors. What we want is originality, not the same thing that's already been used and seen SOOOO many times. Third, "no names" may be easier to cast because at points in time the people doing the casting, and Kate Brian, can choose who really looks like and can have the attitude or demeanor of the character they would be portraying.

Posted by asmaylin on November 24, 2008 at 11:26 PM EST #

Hey Kate! I love the Private series! I think Noelle should be played by Leighton Meester, Josh by Chase Crawford, and Reed by Shane Grimes. I don't know who else, but that is my opinion! Keep writing good books Kate!

Posted by Rebecca on November 24, 2008 at 11:46 PM EST #

ok. i really think that if you re going to do a movie or tv show you should do a BIG contest like thay did for the clique movie. i am an actress and i would just LOVEEEE to be in the private movie. it is like one of my dreams!!!! i read private and i so wish i was reed. it just really seems like a part i could play. so PLEASE do a contest like thing if you are going to make a movie or tv show. PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!!!

Posted by mackay on November 24, 2008 at 11:49 PM EST #

oh and if you do have an audition/contest thing come to oklahoma! cause that way i can be cast! and then my dream of soooooooo long will come true! so just PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! DO A CONTEST(AND COME TO OKLAHOMA(AND TELL US ABOUT IT)) love, love, love, mackay

Posted by mackay on November 25, 2008 at 12:03 AM EST #

hey kate! I LOOVE you books! my best friend got be hooked and now i cant stop! keep them coming! i cant wait to "Reed" (lol INSIDE JOKE!) Privilaged! i think it should bring up some new drama! I LOVE Josh! he would be the perfect boyfriend! and Dash is like SO AWESOME! i was sad when we left Easton. and Noelle is my FAV character NEVER GET RID OF NOELLE! i love you books! YOU ROCK!

Posted by andrea on November 25, 2008 at 12:10 AM EST #

Karina, it said Becki becuase the names of the people who write each comment are under the comments...so is yours...the Becki goes to my comment. silly=P Asmaylin, i totally agree with what you are saying...like picking people from gossip girl, twilight, and 90210 is so wrong because first of all they are old and second of all Private is going to be a whole new topic and we cant have the same people in it...i dont think they should all be no names though because having known people draws others to come see the movie. PEOPLE MEGHAN FOX IS TOO OLD TO BE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT!!!

Posted by Becki on November 25, 2008 at 02:45 AM EST #

You guys are right about kids from Gossip Girl and 90210 not looking young enough, but keep in mind the billings girls are supposed to look sophisticated and glamorous, so we wouldn't want a disney girl playing them, would we. There needs to be a perfect median between the two, and unknowns are starting to sound perfect

Posted by Cass on November 25, 2008 at 10:31 AM EST #

That would be awesome! I know that I would watch it!!

Posted by Tatiana on November 25, 2008 at 03:14 PM EST #

omg i saw twilight on saturday and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i thought it was gonna b stupid but it was so freakin good!!!!!!!! just imagine private becoming a show or a movie!!!!!!!!

Posted by Jagoda on November 25, 2008 at 03:17 PM EST #

Kate Brian, Do you think it's okay to start the Privilege series and then read Paradise Lost in the Private series?? Do you think I will get confused?? Please tell me!!

i agree NO DISNEY channel little kids PLZ and 20 something is good because if they were really 17, or the books age THE ACTING WOULD BE HORRIBLE look at how bad the clique movie turned out... 20 something is good cause most good shows have 20 something actors and lets face it older sophisated men are just hotter and better actors

Posted by Nina on November 25, 2008 at 06:35 PM EST #

Josh: Alex Pettyfer/ Reed: Alexis Bledel/ Noelle: Megan Fox/Cheyenne: Hayden Panetierre/ Constance: Renee Olstead or Maria Thayer/Dash: Kellan Lutz/ Ivy: Anne Hathaway or Sienna Gillory.. they're too old tho.../ Ariana: Blake Lively

Posted by ZK on November 25, 2008 at 07:14 PM EST #

i agree with everyone who think they should cast unknown actors to the movie or tv if it happens. i mean, it would be kinda dumb if the movie or tv show turn out to be some stupid disney thing, you know? they should cast sophisticated, good actors to it, not those old people. like tom welling and megan fox. theyre cool and all, but im theyre to old. especially tom, isnt he married? also, you guys need to stop suggesting those disney actors like robbie amell and max thieriot? and also those famous actors that ALREADY have theyre own famous show to do, like shaena grimes, leighton meester or ed westwick? stop it with the 90210 and gossip girl people. it wont work right. and the twilight ones too. i am in love the all of them, but im just hoping we'll cast someone more.. SEMI famous, thanks.

i think we should leave it to the professionals and shouldnt get our hopes up. its good to give suggestions but we dont even know if this is really happening yet. i think kate just wanted to know who we see the characters as since all of these movies from books have been coming out...she never said that it would really happen so relax people!!!

I absolutely love the Private series!! I totally think that Megan Fox should be Noelle. She's exactly how I imagined Noelle would be like and she has the mean girl/queen bee personality and look. Brittany Snow would be great as Arianna.

Posted by reed on November 26, 2008 at 10:48 PM EST #

i know that this is kind of random, nut i just read Revelation,and i was wondering if there will be another book in the Private series. i really like them and when it ended, i felt like it was missing something. and i would totally buy the new book.

How the h are we gonna get Megan Fox to do this movie? She doesn't even f-ing fit! She is old...er and we need people who play or have played high school roles. Everyone says that Robbie is too old but he always plays high school roles so people portray him as a high schooler. Not like he would be in the movie/tv series, but, he could fit.

Posted by Niya on November 27, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST #

Yeah i wish that you came out with a movie or something because that would be awesome!!!! For one thing i could play Sabine becuase i just love the way dat she acts in the books. Also because i love this series. I really cant wait for privileged to come out! Is it going to be like the Private series????

Posted by JC on November 28, 2008 at 01:05 AM EST #

I think a TV series makes so much more sense than a movie. 1) With a movie, one would only get about two hours worth of story; with a TV series, you get at least that much time, and even more if it lasted. 2) A movie would have to squeeze a lot of story in; a TV series would have more time to mold the characters and the story. 3) If the TV series lasted, you would only have to wait a few months after each finale; if the movie did well, you would have to wait at least a year just to watch another two hours.

I think a TV series makes so much more sense than a movie. With a movie, you'd only get about two hours worth of story; with a TV series, you'd get at least that much time, and even more if it succeeded. Plus, there would be more time to develop character and story.

Posted by JC on November 28, 2008 at 01:26 AM EST #

I think a TV series would be much better, as it would allow for more to be done. Plus, if the TV series succeeded, you'd only have to wait a few months for a new season full of episodes; if the movie succeeded, you'd have to wait at least a year -- just to watch another two hours of material.

Heyy everyone i am new to the private series and i abosulty love them. i was at the book store and read the back of revelation and was like this is my type of book so i aslso picked up last christmas! but the thing is i diddnt start from the first BOOK! agh its driving me crazy and i want to be up to date. I am near the end of revelation and its totally amazing! but should i read the others before reading last christmas???? i really need some help here!!!!!!

Posted by Tychelll aka new bee on November 30, 2008 at 10:46 AM EST #

Tychelll, YESSS. definitely read the other books before you read last christmas. it came out after the other books so thats how everyone else read them and it was great that way. also, i know where you're coming from. i read untouchable (the 3rd book) first and then had to start from teh beginning. so i just think you should start from the first book.

Posted by Noora on November 30, 2008 at 12:43 PM EST #

for josh hollis it should be austin butler or jacob kraemer but i would def go with jacob he is sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Sarah on December 01, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST #

okay kate, i love your books SO much. but they are books not movies or t.v. shows. i understand that it would be really cool to see it all on the t.v. screen but movies dont get to add all the detials books get to explain, and to me it just ruins the books altogether. i know a ton of people who hated twilight becuase they said the books were way better, i loved twilight since i didnt read the books. personally it would just be a bad idea! Still your an amazing writer ive read all 8 and the prequile twice! i love them.

Posted by ally on December 01, 2008 at 06:05 PM EST #

kate i love your books. but a movie or a t.v. show would ruin it. They dont get to explain all the details. still love em !

Posted by katie on December 01, 2008 at 06:07 PM EST #

Please no televison show! Gossip Girl has one and I keep missing it. I think it would be better as a movie! That would be totally awesome! And since your a very popular author you'll be like Twilight and make...I forgot 70.5 million? or thousand?...in a week by making into a movie! Sorry but I don't know about actors.

Posted by Lynn on December 01, 2008 at 06:30 PM EST #

okay, im kinda laughing now. everyones picking megan fox, who's 22, and alexis bledel, who's 28. can they pull off 17 year olds.. not really. I agree with Abby, disney characters shouldnt even be SUGGESTED in here. i find private more of a sophisticated and mature kind of thing, so it would be weird to cast.. them. in my opinion, there shouldnt too many well known actors, just to make it more interesting, althought we can have one or two.

Posted by Liz. on December 01, 2008 at 07:06 PM EST #

Okay, I totally love the books soo much! I've read them all at least twice each =] I really really really think that Matt Long should play Thomas. I picture him every time I read about Thomas. And please tell me Reed doesn't die in Revelation! I would be pretty much heartbroken if she did. He and Josh were meant to be and I hope psychopath Sabine didn't shoot him either. I can't wait for the next Private book to come out, please tell me it's soon! iloveyou!

Posted by Kristin on December 01, 2008 at 07:10 PM EST #

i absolutly love this series and a movie would be great i dont have any particular charectors in ind but i would love to star in the private movie that would be so awsome, if only i could act hehe. good luck

Posted by ME on December 01, 2008 at 09:23 PM EST #

okay people can we be nice?? this is supposed to be about what people think should be the cast for private. it is only their opinions so so what if they want a gossipgirl star or a disney channel star? Oh and btw there are ways to make people look younger then they really are =)

Posted by hallie on December 01, 2008 at 09:51 PM EST #

yeah about the whole shooting thing i think josh jumped in front of reed and got shot but is not dead just hurt and reed blacked out becasue when josh jumped in front of her he pushed her out of the way but she fell and hit her head. thats just my opinion. and for if theres a movie/tv show i think that you shouldnt just use all of the characters from gossip girl and twilight. some of them can be but they all dont fit the parts.

Posted by andrea on December 01, 2008 at 10:43 PM EST #

What a way to end book 8. I am seriously going to explode with anticipation. The books usually come out one right after another, so thank you, Kate, for constantly writing to keep the patience to a tolerable time frame. I know if someone were to option your book for a movie or tv show, decisions really wouldn't be in your hands, but I think a tv series would work out better with the way your books are written. Each book covers a short time period, but there is so much material it would be extremely hard to make a movie and keep it true to all of the books. I think a fresh set of actors should be cast. The same names appear, but they are mostly actors from twilight and gossip girl. Those actors are too new to recycle already. If you ever hear anything about your book being optioned, please post! I'd love for my agent to get me an audition, possibly for Reed ;D Thank you for being amazing and keep up the great work!

Posted by Megan S. on December 02, 2008 at 12:26 AM EST #

i love these books and im dying for private nine to come! i cant stand not knowing what happens to read...the book cant possible go on without her, but the book ended with "then it all went black" is she going to live?....it had just seemed like josh had realized that he actually loves her and then all of a sudden she might have been shot? i mean thats gotta be what you meant when you said " i heard a shot go off, and then it alll went black" helpp?! will reed be in the next book!? also i have already read last christmas and am waiting for the first privilege book to come out, i love that you are going on with the story unlike twilight where she stopped with only four books but i have to say i feel myself more attached to the private novels than a story based around ariana. this might just be becasue i enjoy good over evil and love rather that a psycho. but i love your stories either way. thanks for entertaining us!

Posted by kacy on December 02, 2008 at 01:28 AM EST #

I think Alex Pettyfer would make a great Josh, he's really cute!! But I don't think Brittany Snow would make a great Ariana, she's not icy enough.. Megan Fox is definately the perfect Noelle! And for Reed, I have no idea. Not Kristen Stewart though. Also, is there a book after Revelation?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Posted by Carli on December 02, 2008 at 02:02 AM EST #

shenae grimes would be perfect for reed!

First of all I love the books, favourite ever I just don't think there should be a tv show or a film. Because you know when you love a book so much and they turn it into a film or show, and you end up disappointed, cause you had it different in mind. I just don't think the film/show would EVER be as good as the book.

Posted by cawwy on December 02, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST #

OMG!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOMEE!!!! wait is it for real? like are they really making it into a movie? I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH IT!!!! for Noelle I think maybe Megan Fox, Arianna I think AnnaLynne McCord, Taylor be Nikki Reed, Kiran would be Blake Lively, and for Reed... hmm...maybe...I dunno lol I cant remember anyone right now x)

Posted by Katrina on December 02, 2008 at 06:46 PM EST #

Posted by nt on December 02, 2008 at 07:29 PM EST #

Hey, Kate (Kierran)! Hmmm. Oh geez. A Private tv show. How long have I been thinking about this? Too long. If the books do end up as a tv show (which I think makes more sense than a movie), then I'd say please, please try to make the cast mostly new faces! I think Private could do SO well if the cast had many fresh faces, instead of a lot of known Hollywood/It girls. Please don't think I'm trying to be bossy and rule what goes on with the show if it does happen, it's just I'm passionate about Private and like everyone else, I want it to be good, you know? I mean, I'm not saying that NO actor who is known can be in the tv show...it's just I think mostly unknown people would make the show that much more new and fresh and exciting. And I so agree with the people who said that it shouldn't be ones who are already on a famous tv show (ahem, like Gossip Girl)! Especially people who also look kind of too old to be in high school. That would just be kinda confusing, haha. Some new, sophisticated actors would be AMAZING. So yeah. That's my 2 cents :)

I think we should get an all new cast of people. Let's introduce some new people to holly wood. Some poeple who can actually act!!! Also I want then to STICK TO THE BOOKS! Not like the crap job they did on gossip girl (not that gossip girl was even close to being as good as the private series) WRITE ANTOHER BOOK PLEASE!!! It's like detox when I don't know what's happening! Love these books <3.

Posted by Dawn on December 02, 2008 at 09:52 PM EST #

If there was to be a movie or series they should cast people that have not been in movies before. Lets introduce some new faces to Hollywood. Some people who can actually act!!! Also they should stick to the books. Make sure they don't change the books if they make it a tv show or movie. I love these books! Can't wait for the next one! <3

Who saw twilight???????? It was awesome but they still didn’t stick to the book so please Kate pretty please do not make this into a movie or T.V. series because they never stick to the books and they just plain mess everything up. Anyways I would still love your books though.

I think a tv serious would be better, too. I saw twilight after reading the book and it left out so many things and I think it'd be easier to get in ALL the material in a tv serious instead of a 90 minute movie. & I think Josh should be Alex Pettyfer, Arian/Taylor= either could be Blake Lively Amber Heard or Brittany Snow, Noelle = Leighton Meester, and just some really good looking actors are chace crawford, robbie amell, sean faris, kellan lutz, rob pattinson, cody linley, taylor lautner, & josh hutcherson

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES!!!! I couldn't put this book down for twilight(had to see what the hipe was all about) and then when i finished the saga i picked up right where i left off.... If there was a movie i would DIE!!!! I would be the first in line... Blake Lively should play Noelle...

Posted by Hailey on December 03, 2008 at 05:19 PM EST #

if theres a tv show or movie for the private series, i think Lucy Hale should be one of the stars. maybe Reed (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1197576192/nm1423955). and maybe Jessica Stroup for Noelle? Stella Maeve should definetley be Taylor. Emma Stone seems appropriate to play one of the characters, maybe Kiran. I dont know about those choices yet, just trying to imagine how they specifically look like in my head. btw, i know its your opinion and all, but please stop suggesting alexis bledel. shes like, 28.

Posted by Kaitlin on December 03, 2008 at 05:53 PM EST #

Okay I love your books but I hate that I started off on one of the last books out now i have to work backwards. I was mad because I have to wait to read what happens next. The book needs to come out NOW! It would awesome if they made a tv show or movie based on the book but they would have to do it exactly like the book and not rewrite any of it like they do with others. For the cast Reed: Alexis Bledel Natasha: Rachel Bilson Noelle: Megan Fox Kiran: Sophia Bush Ariana: Britney Snow Constance: Alona Tal Sabine: Nina Dobrev Cheyanne: Leighton Meester Rose: Rachel McAdams Astrid: Kristen Bell Josh: Cody Linley Thomas: Daniel Clark Dash: Jamie Johnston Trey: Chace Crawford Taylor: Miriam McDonald Ivy: Jessica Stroup Tiffany: Sara Paxton Missy: Danneel Harris Lorna: Ashley Benson Gage: Portia: Alexz Johnson Amberly: Cassie Scerbo Kiki: Jojo Shelby: Andrea Bowen Those are just rushed ones and some of them fit perfectly in my mind but some could be replaced. You should totally have some of the characters played by newbies and some by already famous people but make sure they don't think they are better than everyone else. I can't wait to read the next book!!!

ahhh! i just finished revelation today. and my friend is bringing me last christmas to read tomorrow, wow what a twist!!!! i loved it!! you're such an awesome author. and i am absolutely thrilled to hear there is a 9th book on the way in february!! and im also super excited for the new privilege series!!

Posted by Sydney on December 03, 2008 at 07:47 PM EST #

ahh i just finished revelation today! loved ittttt. i cant wait for the other books either!!

Posted by Sydney on December 03, 2008 at 07:49 PM EST #

OOMMMGGG!!! is there really going to be a movie??? ok so i'm still a little confused about which character(on the covers of the books) is reed, noelle, kyran, and all the others (not Ariana) who's the one whith short hair...is it Noelle??

Posted by Veronica on December 03, 2008 at 07:51 PM EST #

omg i love these books they are so amazing! i love josh but i have to say I MISS THOMAS! (he really loved reed) i think a t.v show would be awesome if they did it right :]

Posted by Rachel on December 03, 2008 at 07:51 PM EST #

omg i love these books! i have read everyone including last christmas. i cant wait till privilage but i really hope that she writes more about reeds point of view! josh is amazing but i have to say i miss thomas so bad!

Posted by Rachel on December 03, 2008 at 07:53 PM EST #

wait what is paradise lost!?!?

Posted by Rachel on December 03, 2008 at 07:59 PM EST #

Hey, i think that alexis bledel should be reed that is exactly how i imagined her. I also think chace crawford should be JOSH... I also agree with alot of you.. Reed and Josh are made for each other. I also hope that there are so many more private books. They are the best series along with the Twilight saga!! Kate, Please Please try to get a tv show or a movie That would be ah-mazing!!!!

Posted by kiki on December 03, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST #

I think Hayden Christensen (the guy from Jumper) should play Josh, and I think Rachel Bilson should play reed. i also think Megan Fox would be a perfect Noelle and that Chace Crawford would make a good Thomas and Brittany Snow would be great for Ariana

Posted by Hayat on December 03, 2008 at 08:23 PM EST #

Omg you need to totally make these books into a movie!! these are so so so good! haha=]! josh sounds so hot! reed and josh need to get back together!!!

Posted by Jacquelyn on December 03, 2008 at 08:35 PM EST #

RACHEL-Paradise lost is a book coming out in February. YAY!!

OMG!!! I <3 the private seris it is soo ADDICTING!!! Like a read the first book and I was a little hesitant but I am soo GLAD I did!!! I have read the other books in like a month and now i am starting Last Christmas!!! Well I think a movie would be awesome!! Or t.v show like they did gossip girl...umm honestly I have abosolutly NO idea of u should play who because there are soo many choices!!! Well if anyone can answer this question...

Posted by SamiV on December 03, 2008 at 10:15 PM EST #

I miss thomas too so so much. Wouldnt it be amazing if he didn't really die and they recovered the wrong body and like josh gets shot not murdered but goes to the hospital. And then Reed is like crying, and he comes in, in disguise,and says reed and then takes off his disguise and its him. oh that would be soo amazing. And of coarse theres ariana, we can just say she was really sad and mad that she didn't notice he was not dead and that he escaped and found refuge in one of his family many estates. And the body they found Could be that foreign photographer kid's body.

BUT PLEASE! i mean PLEASE... have a movie... and dont make it like the twilight movie bcuz it was bad. i didnt read the twilight books, in fact i dont read at all... these are the only books i read hahaha. anyways, have a movie, yes?!

Posted by elena on December 03, 2008 at 11:16 PM EST #

Damn. The book is freakin HOT!:D I'm still half-way thru Revelation though. So far, so Perfect:P Can't wait for the Last Christmas to be relaesed. I don't think it's available here in the Philippines yet:| You should really do the movie Kate:) A series would be not-so-good for me, because I'm in a dormitory and they don't allow TV Sets in here. I know, LOSER. LOL. I am really counting on the movie. See yah!

Posted by Charmay on December 04, 2008 at 02:22 AM EST #

if there was ever a movie on the private books david patenson (twilight hottie) should play josh!

ummmm ok people robert pattinson isnt that hot... and omg it would be amazing if thomas came back!!!!!!!! and omg I CANT WAIT TILL FEBURARY!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Rachel on December 04, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST #

I think there should be a television series instead of a movie because it would be hard to fit all of the books into one movie and if it were a television show it could be more like the book.They could spread it out more instead of packing it all in too a movie....and i would be excited each week when the show came on instead of just watching it once in theater's or something.

Posted by Jessica Wong on December 05, 2008 at 11:52 PM EST #

Well here is who I think should be casted Reed-Kristen Stewart Noelle-Megan Fox Karin-Emily Browning Taylor-Autum Reeser Ariana-Taylor Momsen Constance-Scout TaylorChampton Thomas-Chad Michale Murray Dash-Cody Linly Gage-Ed Westick Josh-Zac Efron Ivy Slade-Sohpia Bush Cheyenne-Nikki Reed Natasha-Logan Browning I have alot more people to name but this is pretty lengthy so yeah. Heh Heh

Posted by Maxxie on December 06, 2008 at 01:07 AM EST #

I really don't like Megan Fox as Noelle, i used to have this idea that Missy Peregrym could play a good Noelle or a good Reed,but it depends, she is kinda old.. they need much younger actors!

Posted by Annie on December 06, 2008 at 03:10 AM EST #

I hate Megan Fox as Noelle, it is totally wrong. Missy Peregrym could be a good Reed or Noelle, but she looks kind of old :(

Posted by Annie on December 06, 2008 at 03:13 AM EST #

how totally PERFECT would this girl be to play Noelle Lange? link - http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/_images/misc/graphics/clubs/070808fstyle04.jpg feedback PLEASE!! DEFINEATLY noelle lange! x

Megan fox can't be Noelle!!

Posted by Sofia Moreira Rodriguez on December 06, 2008 at 11:51 AM EST #

Ummmm... sorry but i would definitely stay away from any of the ppl from Twilight b/c.... A) They won't do it.... and B) the fan base is too close and there need to be differences between the two series...

Posted by Colleen on December 06, 2008 at 03:44 PM EST #

I want to play Reed, if that is possible. I would love to hear about audiitions or something and I would deffinately come even though I live in Holland. I hope so. I think you should take unknown actors to play the parts. That's cooler. And Chase Crawford should play Dash. I think a series would be better, becouse you have to cut less form the original book. I prefer things to go as they did in the book. I hope it becomes a succes and i love the books!!

Posted by Jillie on December 07, 2008 at 08:40 AM EST #

I wanna be Reed myself! Is that possible? Chase Crawford will make a perfect Dash. I love the books!

Posted by Jillie on December 07, 2008 at 08:42 AM EST #

I would make a pretty good Reed. I would deffinately wanna have that part. If I could. Please let me!! I love the books!!

Posted by Jillie on December 07, 2008 at 08:44 AM EST #

This girl is perfect to play Reed! http://hyves.nl/index.php?l1=ut&l2=photo&l3=show&media_id=360570662&media_secret=Kbdt She would love to play her, i know it. Ps,, the girl from the other picture is perfect for Noelle.

Posted by Jildau on December 07, 2008 at 08:49 AM EST #

i think megan fox, Max Thieriot, robbie amell, taylor lautner, david henrie, taylor swfit? i dont know i just like her haha. and maybe that jake hutchison kid, but anyone know how old he is? he is a good actor though. taylor handley, and devon werkiser? i have no idea how to spell the last name, but its ned from "neds declassified"...also you cant use "gossip girl" ppl they are already known from "gossip girl". even though they are all amazing!

PLEEEASEEE give us a preview of Paradise Lost?!?! OHHEMMGEE, I need it now! LOL

omg that girl for noelle is perfect! but i dont think reed looks like that at all sorry.

Posted by Rachel on December 07, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST #

Ed Westwick would be perfect for gage because, like on Gossip Girl, he is kind of mysterious and the girls think he is sort of a pervert like gage is in the book.

Posted by alyse on December 07, 2008 at 06:08 PM EST #

omgosh, it has to be made in a show! i only could think of a few. Dash - Adam Gregory Gage - Sean Faris Josh - Jeremey Sumpter Constance - Emmy Rossum

OH MY GOSH!!!!! IF THERE WAS A PRIVATE MOVIE OR SHOW I WOULD BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON ON THE PLANET! I've only got a few ideas, but theses are the people I would cast as... Reed: Kristen Stewart Noelle: Megan Fox Ariana: Taylor Swift Kiran: Nikki Reed Thomas: Zac Efron Cheyenne: Brittany Snow Tiffany: Rihanna Some of these are a little random, and I would like to point out that Taylor Swift would be an awesome Ariana because of her accent and she fits Ariana's decription PERFECTLY!!!!

The Private series could never be one movie because there are too many books, and the plot changes so much and so quickly. They could make movies out of each book, but I think a TV show would be more appropriate. Relationships and characters change more easily on TV shows, which would be necessary for the Private series. I love the books though! Serious page-turners.

Posted by sara on December 08, 2008 at 06:04 PM EST #

i love the Private series now im waiting for the december copy to come out i agree with the book becoming a tv series get connected with the right people and put it on air!

Posted by shelby on December 09, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST #

i would try out for the cast

Posted by shelby on December 09, 2008 at 10:54 AM EST #

these books are just amazing. one of my girlfriend's owns all the books out so far and she's passed them around to us, about 20 girls and it's made its way to a teacher now ! these books just keep you on the edge of your seat at all times. i used to hate reading books but since i picked up PRIVATE, you don't see me without one of your books in my hands. I'm almost finished with LAST CHRISTMAS and i can't believe everything that's happened. i would deffinetly love to see this as a movie every single book. That's the one thing all of us girls talk about. We find these books have brought us closer together and we are always talking about the ups and downs. Reed and Josh were made for eachother & i can't wait for PARADISE LOST to come out and the SUSPITION. i hope you continue with all your great stories because i will deffinetly be reading them !

Posted by Kenzi on December 09, 2008 at 04:23 PM EST #

I think they should make a TV show out of it because there are too many books and I think there would be alot of views and stuff I know I would be one person to check out the TV show!

Posted by Nic on December 09, 2008 at 07:07 PM EST #

I would love to see this as a t.v show- if it was a movie, everything would go too quickly. With all the drama in these books, it would have to at least be spread out over more that just 2 hours.
As for the cast? I think the open auditions idea is cool_ alot of girls would definitely try out (myself included!) The casting directors would just have to make sure to pick people that aren't horrible actors.
Now my perfect cast using celebirtys:
Reed- Shenae Grimes, with darker hair
Noelle- Megan Fox forsuree
Ariana- Kristen Bell. she can pull off that mean/ethedral/deranged look, lol
Taylor- Taylor Swift
Josh- Alex Pettyfer!! That one I am adamant about :]
Kiran- Camilla Belle
Gage- David Henrie. It would be funny to see him do the whole manwhore bit :D
Thats really it. But I also hold the opinion that models on the covers look exactly like the characters.

Posted by Lauraa on December 09, 2008 at 08:09 PM EST #

omg i been think as private as a tv show!!!!!! tht would b AH-MAZING i would the girl who plays Sage on privileged as Noelle she would b awesum!!!! i really hope it does become 1 tv show the movie would b messed up and i wouldnt like it but a tv show has seen 1 and 2 already done!!!! cant wait 2 c wat happens!

Posted by jcass on December 09, 2008 at 09:37 PM EST #

Reed Brennan -Michelle Trachtenberg Noelle Lange-Megan Fox Ariana Osgood- Brittany Snow Kiran Hayes-Sophia Bush Taylor Bell-Alexis Bledel Cheyenne Martin-Hayden Panettiere Thomas Pearson-Chace Crawford Josh Hollis-Cody Linley Constance Talbot-Nikki Reed Sabine Dulac-Taylor Momsen Gage-Jesse Metcalfe Dash McCafferty-Josh Henderson Ivy Slade-Lindsay Lohan That is who i pictured would be playing these rolls. I Do hope that you do make a series or a movie. I know it will make a great fan base and tons of viewers. Please do it!! =] From Jeremy

Posted by jeremiah bucher on December 10, 2008 at 02:24 PM EST #

I don't know many actors or actresses names. But if you made the series into a movie or t.v show. I would own every single one of them. You're series is amazing and really addicting to read!! I love them. I read the first 8 in less than a month! Please make them into a show or movie. <3

I think if this series were to be made into a movie, i would cast new actors/actresses that maybe have never had a main role before. I think it would make it much more interesting (not thats it not interesting enough already!!) i think putting NEW faces on a NEW movie series would be a great idea!

Posted by BriannaJean on December 14, 2008 at 02:13 PM EST #

Reed: kristen stewert Noelle: Tiffany Dupont/ Leighton Meester Ariana: Britany Snow Tomous: Cody Linley Dash: James Lafferty/Tom Welling cheynee: michelle trachtenberg sabine: Jessica Szohr

Posted by molly on December 15, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST #

Everyone is suggesting A-list stars to play the leading roles, but I think that'd kind of ruin the movie if there was going to be one. I think that when you have big stars like that, you kind of expect a certain role from them and most of the actors/actresses everyone's suggesting play the same kind of role in all their movies/shows, so I don't think they'd play the characters roles too well. I love most of the stars everyone's suggesting but some of them wouldn't work in certain roles. I mean, Taylor Lautner would probably be a good Josh because he usually plays a shy guy. But having the entire Gossip Girls cast play the roles for instance wouldn't make the movie that great in my opinion, because then your just expecting it to be like Gossip Girl.

Posted by Allie on December 15, 2008 at 06:14 PM EST #

I think Kristin Stewert would play a great Reed.

I know i'm horribly late on this, but i just started Revelation (at 3:00 today, actually) and i just finished it. (it's 5). I've had it for awhile, but we were reading Crime and Punishment in school, so that was brutal. I actually just finished the essay yesterday... anyways, it was AMAZING. i'm trying to search your site for the release date of Lost Paradise.

OMG!! This series rules! i read all of the books in one week. they're so addictive!there should sooooo be a private movie or TV show! I vote for TV show. i would watch it every week!!! hopefully they wouldn't mess it up.

Posted by shawtyk on December 20, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST #

Umm I think you should have an open casting call, that way you have more options and more oppertunities to find the perfect people for the part!

Posted by Julia on December 20, 2008 at 11:27 PM EST #

it would be AMAZINNGGG if this book made the big screen or our tv screens! i do agree with the people below me about having an open cast call it really would make unknown people famous and they can sort of debute thier talents so the movie wont be ruined by snotty i think i know it all actresses and actors buttt there are some hottties already on tv i wouldnt mind seeing... :) well, i really do think that it should be produced into perferably a tv series but a movie would be amazingg too <33

I love the Private series and i cant wait for privilage!

Posted by Mimi on December 23, 2008 at 01:26 PM EST #

I really think that they should make it a Movie, instead of a tv show. Because where ever things turn into tv shows there ruined. Now I have pictured the characters as actors/actresses in my head, I know some people wont agree with there but I think there good. Reed Brennan: Emma Roberts, Willa Holland, or Shailene Woodley. Noelle Lange: Megan Fox. Kiran Hayes : Nikki Reed, or a new comer. Taylor Bell: Brittany Snow, or Blake Lively. Ariana Osgood: Blake Lively, or Brittany Snow. Ivy Slad: Jessica Stroup. Dash McCafferty: Chace Crawford, Mitch Hewer. Thomas Pearson: Adam Gregory, or Gaspard Ulliel. Josh Hollis: Adam Brody, Jesse McCartney, or Zac Efron. Gage Coolidge: Penn Badgley, or Kellan Lutz. Walt Whittaker: Robert Pattison.

Posted by Ellie on December 23, 2008 at 06:06 PM EST #

I think you should holed auditions and find new comers for the parts of the main characters. btw if the movie for sure happening??:)

Posted by Private:) on December 23, 2008 at 06:32 PM EST #

I think it would be amazing as a movie if done right and casted right, I don't think it would as well as a tv show, I prefer the books to paint a more vivid picture, but it would be interesting to see how a movie was done.

Posted by Alyse on December 24, 2008 at 01:25 AM EST #

I just have to say that the Private series is my favorite book series in the whole world! I live and love it! I just finished Legacy and I am reading the next book which is Ambition. I just want to tell you that you are a amazing writer and really grasp the role of a teenage girl! PLEASE PLEASE keep writing because I can't wait to read all of your books. I have to finish the last 3 books in the series before the 30th of December because I CAN NOT WAIT untill the new series comes out! Keep it up your books are amazing! -Your Biggest Fan Ever!

Posted by Talia on December 25, 2008 at 12:30 AM EST #

I am a huge fan of these books. The Private series should totally be made into a tv show! It would be great. I am still thinking about the characters, but here is what i thought of right now;; Thomas: Robbie Amell Ariana: Blake Lively Reed: Alexis Bledel Dash: Jesse McCartney And i totally think that josh and reed should get back together. They are perfect for each other.

Posted by Major Private Series Fan on December 27, 2008 at 01:35 PM EST #

ok please please do NOT i repeat DO NOT contaminate this flawless series with ugh i cant say the word i want cause it wont let me (AND ITS NOT EVEN THAT BAD) but watevr like i was saying DO NOT USE ANY DISNEY CHANNEL STARS UGH!!! none they ruin movies and shows not! hudgens or tisdale ESPPECIALLY NO MILEY! i cant even tell u how horriblely horrible it would be if they starred in them they would make it childish ok done with rant try to make them actors that we dont see everyday even if there some of the ones on the covers make them really capture the image evn if its someone no HAS EVER SEEN B4 i dont think many of TODAYS actors or actresses can capture the true private attitude! =)

Posted by Leah T. on December 27, 2008 at 03:19 PM EST #

If they're making Private into a TV show, they have to cast people who are not entirely famous, that way it'll be less expensive, also i don't think the girls form 90210 or Gossip Girl are good enough for private, we need someone new!

Posted by Sarah on December 28, 2008 at 08:46 PM EST #

Reed brennan-Shenae grimes. Noelle Lange-Megan fox. Ariana osgood-mischa barton. Kiran Hayes-Kaley cuoco. Taylor Bell-Autumn reeser. cheyenne martin-sophia bush. Thomas Pearson-robert pattison. Josh hollis-jesse mccartney. Dash mccafferty-jonathan taylor thomas. gage coolidge-michael copon. constance talbot-Alexa vega. Sabine dulac-daniella alonso.

Posted by Fajer on December 29, 2008 at 06:40 AM EST #

I don't think you should use the normal, everyday stars. I think it'd be cool if you went out and like picked random people. Like people without acting experience, or with some in like drama classes and such. And like people who havn't been in the limelight. Because Reed was never in the limelight, except on the soccer feild. I think that'd be a cool idea. Make fresh new stars, with this awesome series.

Can I please tell you that this book series is my addiction. Instead of going out on weekends and partying or whatever, I would rather sit and read each book. I have to say thank you so much for them, because they are everything I like in a novel put into an entire series. It is completely amazing! As for this movie or TV show, I can't wait! It will be amazing, and I'm pretty sure that it will blow gossip girl out of the water. The only thing is, could you possibly keep the actual events from the books in the show? That would be awesome, because I hate when things aren't like the text! Please keep writing more fantastic novels and thank you again!

Posted by Shayna on January 04, 2009 at 10:21 PM EST #

yeah, i love these books and it'd be cool for it to be a move, but think of how many sequels there'd need to be, there are 9 books (counting paradise lost). idk about tv because I think you might just lose the concept and idk i just don't think it'd be that good. yeah i read twilight like not to long after it came out and i mean the movie was good if u haven't read the books but otherwise it was a little disappointing (to me no offense if u liked it). also chase crawford,josh? no he reminds me nothing of josh at all. i think it'd be cool to be in the movie but i can't be any of them except constance lol, i look exactly like the description its weird and i act like her to haa. but yeahh when i read this i just thought of one person as reed but idk maybe kristin stewart she seems good for the part.

Posted by Colleen on January 06, 2009 at 09:40 PM EST #

geez. i dunno why everyone's saying kristen stewart's perfect for reed. i mean, come on. just because she's in twilight? pick someone else for god's sake.

Posted by sarah on January 10, 2009 at 10:29 AM EST #

Why do people like Kristen Stewert anyways??But for Josh Hollis..I think Dustin Milligan or Taylor Handley would be P-E-R-F-E-C-T for Josh Hollis..(look both of them up if you dont kno who they are!)

Posted by Mallary on January 11, 2009 at 05:44 PM EST #

Nobody is perfect 4 anyone. It would rly ruin the series if the movie or tv show is not we expect so... but if I rly had to pick some ppl it would be the ppl on the covers. Private: Noelle Invitation Only: Ariana Untouchable: Taylor Confessions: Kiran Inner Circle: Natasha 4 me nobody can play reed, josh, and every one else...

Posted by Mallary on January 17, 2009 at 02:31 PM EST #

OMG!!! A movie would be the best thing ever I was always thinking that you should do a movie or a t.v show for the priate book series it would be so fantasticly great. When in Febuary is paradise lost comming out?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I realllllllllllllllllllllly realllllllllllly can't wait. I can never put down the private series, I never liked reading until my friend got me into reading Kate Brian, your books are the best especially the private series, I really like priveleged to but private is so much more intriging and it is soooooooooooooooooo hard waiting all the way until febuary for paradise lost to come out. Please Please Please Please Please do a movie or t.v show for Private it would be the all time best movie in the world i will see it like ten zillion time.

Posted by Brittany on January 17, 2009 at 07:43 PM EST #

U should really include Taylor Momsen and Blake lively in your movie

Posted by Brittany on January 17, 2009 at 07:49 PM EST #

ok...i really dont think u could appreciate the private series as ONLY a movie. it would have to be a show with all that goes on. and....SERIOUSLY people! i LOVE sophia bush and all but....for KIRAN?! u all are OBVIOUSLY not grasping who the characters really are and look like. i think u would need FRESH, NEW faces as ALLLLLLLL roles! NO ONE big. and if ur REALLY think meghan fox is a "PERFECT" noelle.....uve GOT TO BE KIDDING! just because she plays a....well lets just say a really mean girl.... in about EVERYTHING doesn't mean shed be the perfect role. it called ACTING!!!!!!!!!!!! someone else could play it just as good and DEFINITELY possible for BETTER and even LOOK the role. soo, basically.....tv show, and new faces. no body known, or someone very little known. now willa holland I do agree with at some points as reed. but I still think you could find someone with more of the "reed look".

Posted by concerned on January 19, 2009 at 12:58 AM EST #

excuse my horrible grammar above^^

Posted by concerned on January 19, 2009 at 01:03 AM EST #

Reed: Alexis Bledel Noelle: Sophia bush Ariana: Blake lively Kiran: anyone hot Taylor: emma roberts cheyenne: britanny snow thomas: Zac Efron josh: jeremy sumpter dash: chad michael murray etc etc

Posted by Ollye on January 19, 2009 at 09:46 AM EST #

Soooooooooooooo not Zac Efron for thomas that is like the totally opposite that is not even right, chad micheal murray is a good actor i watch one tree hill ever week but he is not right for the part, and jeremey sumpter could soooo not play Josh he does not even fit the description, willa holland would soooooooooooo sooooo sooooooooooo not even be the perfect match for Reed. People people people stop thinking about who you want think who's description best fits the part it will bring this whole book more alive. I am shore we all get a picture in our heads when we are reading this and most of the people u say her don't even come close to the great deep detail of apperance in these books like come on people are u loosin ur minds?

Posted by Brittany on January 21, 2009 at 12:10 AM EST #

Taylor Swift should so so soooooooooooooo be in this movie with a lead just not as Cheyanne

Posted by Brittany on January 22, 2009 at 08:40 PM EST #

Omg kate, when is paradise lost coming out?? i cant find it anywere. i already preordered it though! :D im sooo excited. ohh and the only idea i have for a cast-- the main girl on the front of 'Confessions'. and reed should be played by willa holland! bye.

Posted by Katie on January 22, 2009 at 09:20 PM EST #

When does Paradise Lost come out??? I think the girl on the front cover of Untouchable (in pink) should really bee in the movie she has all the looks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Brittany on January 24, 2009 at 12:24 AM EST #

"Concerned" is my new HERO!!

Posted by Sarah on January 26, 2009 at 01:29 AM EST #

Reed-Alexis Bledel Noelle-Kim Kardashian Ariana-Scarlet Jo Hansen Taylor-Brittany Snow Josh-? Dash-? Thomas-? Karin-Sophia Bush

Posted by Leighton on January 27, 2009 at 09:44 PM EST #

Scarlet Johansen does not have light enough eyes to play ariana

Posted by Brittany on January 27, 2009 at 11:44 PM EST #

who thinkz Reece Witherspoon would be a good Arianna, I think she would be she is a great actress and has the perfect blue eyes for Arianna

Posted by Brittany on January 29, 2009 at 01:58 AM EST #

Never mind scratch the Reece idea. Taylor Momsen would be a way better Arianna plus she also has the perfect blue eyes to play Arianna. Remember u need to get down to every last small detail.

Posted by Brittany on January 29, 2009 at 02:01 AM EST #

reed: I dont know maybe Willa Holland... or Kristen Stewert??? Reed has to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT so idk. maybe Willa... Noelle: either leighton meester or Megan Fox Taylor: Ashley Benson, Kristen Bell, or Amanda Seyfried Thomas: HAS TO BE TOM WELLING! Gage: Absolutely Kellan Lutz Cheyenne- Shenae Grimes or Taylor Momsen Ariana- im stuck, cant pick between Brittany Snow, Taylor Momsen, or Amanda Seyfried Kiran- Either Sophia Bush or Willa Holland. I am leaning more toward Willa on this one, its almost exactly how I imagined her. Josh- MAX THERIOT. no questions asked DASH- i cant stand it IF IT IS NOT JARED PADALECKI. he would be PERFECT!!!! thats all i have

Posted by Glass-Licker on January 29, 2009 at 02:29 PM EST #

or Tad Hilgenbrink would be like a PUHR-FECT thomas!

Posted by Glass-Licker on January 29, 2009 at 02:33 PM EST #

a good taylor could be Bailey Hanks too actually

Posted by Glass-Licker on January 29, 2009 at 02:35 PM EST #

Ok so don't do what the clique did , if you saw then you know what I mean, bad acting...terrible acctualy. I think you should use fresh new faces there is so much tallent out there that just isn't being used. And also use kids that actually look the age... Like 90210 thouse kids just do not look like softmores...unless the flunked 5years in a row ..., and don't forget to come to Dallas !!!

Posted by Alexxxxxxxxxxx :D on February 01, 2009 at 08:37 PM EST #

chuck bass from gossip girl should be gage. and i have noooo idea about anyone else. all i know is a want a movie and a tv show!!!!

Posted by amber! on February 05, 2009 at 04:02 PM EST #

Kayy..well...I have this cousin who aditioned for New Moon as Jane, and she got the part right???Anyways,,,she told me how they did the audition,,so she went into the room and the judges look at you and they say..you are into the next round..or not...and then in the 2nd round your supposed to read a line from the book how the judges want to hear it and if they like you again then they say your into the next round...and in round 3...your supposed to read that same line but this time how YOU want to read it...and if they like you then you wait...and the judges like Kirsten (my cousin) the best and thats how she got the part....Soooo...Kate Brian,,,Thats how I think you should do the auditions..=D...and come to Canada too...And Kate? Chose the PERFECT characters for the SHOW/movie....not like how the characters are on the Clique...So ya...By:)

Posted by Alyn? on February 15, 2009 at 06:28 PM EST #

I think it would be fun to let us vote online for possible actors/actresses after you have done an initial screening and narrowed it down. Great publicity too! Not that you need it :D

Posted by Lindsay on February 17, 2009 at 06:32 PM EST #

i must say. in my head... ben easter from mary kate and ashleys movie holiday in the sun is the perfect thomas

Posted by heather on February 23, 2009 at 10:42 PM EST #

********BUT KATE!!!...THE CASTING WOULD HAVE TO BE P-E-R-F-E-C-T AND R-I-G-H-T FOR THE CHARACTERS...THE CHARACTERS HAVE TO REALLY REALLY BE THE SAME AS THEY ARE IN THE BOOK...AND THEY HAVE TO ACT THE PART AND LOOK THE PART...ESPECIALLY REED...SHE HAS TO ACT THE PART ABD LOOK THE PART...WELL NOT JUST REED...E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E!!...EVERYONE HAS TO BE THE E-X-A-C-T SAME AS THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK...AND N-O MISTAKES OR ANYTHING...WOW...I THINK IM GETTING A LTTLE HEAD OVER HEALS ON THIS TV SHOW THING...AND...IT WOULD HAVE TO BE WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY BIGGER THAN GOSSIP GIRL AND 90210!!!....AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A TV SHOW...I THINK THE TV SHOWS WOULD HAVE TO BE AN HOUR AND A HALF BECAUSE..WELL THERE IS DRAMA...BUT BECAUSE NOT IN LIKE EVERY 2 CHAPTERS...IT CANT BE BORING LIKE THE TV SHOW PRIVILEGED...THERES NOT THAT MUCH DRAMA IN PRIVILEGED...SO YEA....WHO AGREES WITH ME???????********

Posted by alexis d on February 28, 2009 at 08:31 PM EST #

I definetly think(no offence to twilight lovers)but private is a great series,and better than twighlight,I think forsure there should be a movie,becuase if there is a show I don't think everyone will no or have the channell it would be shown on,but if there is a show it should be shown on wgn/the cw.I think forsure that channing tatum should play thomas,and adam brody should play josh,im not sure yet for the other girls,but I think forsure the characters must be chosen to what the book says they look like,because I heard for twilight compared to the book the characters were really off,I think that all the boks should be on screen/shown like maybe one or two books=one movie,but it would also be great for a show,that would make up lots of episodes,I really hope there is a movie,i will make all my friends read and buy it.plz plz plzzzzzz kate make a movie

Posted by stephanie on March 02, 2009 at 06:56 PM EST #

I think definetly the three girls from legacy should play role in the movie,they look like someone in the book,i just can't put my tongue on it,but for the rest of the characters the people with the lead roles,well some of the should be like well known actors,but not for reed,but for the other charactersalso they should be fresh faces,lie not big names,like for natasha,missy,constance,the twin cities,ivy should be the girl be the girl on the cover o legacy,and the girl int eh pink on untouchable should definetly be used,i now think i agree with the others and think that this should be a series thatis liek 1 a week for an hour just to keep us irratated,liek on 90210 lol pce just w.e u do kate plz putthis somewhere on teh media,whether movie or show plz make it happen

Posted by stephanie on March 02, 2009 at 07:29 PM EST #

Posted by Alyn? on March 10, 2009 at 08:03 PM EDT #

Okay so to start off with, i L.O.V.E these books, totally addicted! And a movie might be good but i'm afraid it possibly might ruin it. An NO casting for unfamous people cuz the clique movie sucked! But just so i have my say so in, here's my characters; Josh: Ed Speleers, Reed: Alexis Bledel/Willia Holland, Thomas: Tom Welling/Robbie Amell, Ariana: brittany snow/Taylor Momsen, Noelle: Leighton Messter, Dash: Jesse Metcalf, Gage: Ed Westwick, Taylor: Kristen Bell, Ivy: Rachel Bilson, Chenyenn: Shenae Grimes, And Finally, Kiran: Sophia Bush. Ariana Will be hard to play, so anyone who plays her will have to study hard. But i have a feeling either Brittany Snow or Taylor Momsen could do it. But Kate, Keep wrting your amazing:]

Posted by Tori D:] on March 22, 2009 at 03:53 PM EDT #

Who says there isnt a perfect Josh? Chace Crawford. I ? HIM!!!! I love gossip girl and now I'm in love with Private. Aww......

Posted by I on March 24, 2009 at 01:46 AM EDT #

I think these girls would do good. Reed Brennan: Willa Holland Ariana Osgood: Haley Bennet Noelle Lange: Rachel Bilson Kiran Hayes: Ashley Green Taylor Bell: Taylor Momsen

Posted by Lauren on April 09, 2009 at 09:35 PM EDT #

And I don't think that Chace would play a good Josh, I picture him a lot different than that. But I DO think that he would make a good Thomas!

Posted by Lauren on April 09, 2009 at 09:37 PM EDT #

I think you shouldn't incorporate a ton of famous people in it. its too crazy. you should have open auditions for undiscovered talent. that would be good. Like Noelle should be just a really pretty teen, not Megan Fox or someone like that its too much.

Posted by Libby on April 27, 2009 at 09:08 PM EDT #

omg just had a big breakthrough... all your megan fox comments... she cant act at all ... it has to be leighton meester for noelle adn chace crawford for josh they are absolutly perfect. i think as many new actors as possible becuase then we will not see them as charcters but as actual people. one thing is clear though... if you do let them do a movie kate, you have to writethe cript cos otherwise they will cut your amazing story adn that would suck.... lol x

Posted by betty on May 01, 2009 at 07:23 AM EDT #

Posted by Alyn? on May 27, 2009 at 09:15 PM EDT #

AnnaLynne McCord as Noelle Lange. I know she doesn't match the description but whenever they talk about her I always imagine Annalynne.
