Temple Mathews's "Bad Girl Gone"

Temple Mathews, a graduate of the University of Washington and a producer at the American Film Institute, has written dozens of half-hour animation TV episodes and several animated and live action features and direct-to-DVD and video films. His credits include the Walt Disney animated feature films Return to Neverland and The Little Mermaid 2 and the MGM feature film Picture This!

Here Mathews shares some thoughts on casting an adaptation of his new novel, Bad Girl Gone:

The movie of my book would feature a young actress, Jennifer Lawrence would have been perfect a few years back, same with Natalie Portman.

As with the cast of Twilight, when we make the movie (Iggy Azalea is producing and optioned the book) we will have the joy of bringing new faces to the screen.
