Graeme Simsion's "The Rosie Project"

Graeme Simsion is a former IT consultant with an international reputation. His screen adaptation of The Rosie Project won the Australian Writers Guild/Inscription Award for Best Romantic Comedy Script. Simsion lives in Australia with his wife, Anne, and their two children, and is currently working on a sequel to The Rosie Project.

Here he dreamcasts an adaptation of The Rosie Project:

A big caveat here: I originally wrote The Rosie Project as a screenplay, and Sony Pictures have optioned it. If they go ahead, they’ll doubtless engage a professional casting director, who (experience tells me) will do a much better job than I would. I’ve made a bunch of short films, and have been amazed by what inspired casting can do. Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. Who’d have thought it? Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Jack Nicholson in As Good as it Gets (OK, that one feels like a natural, but perhaps only in retrospect.) The Rosie Project takes us into not dissimilar territory. And, of course, anything I say here does not reflect the views of Sony Pictures, its agents, etc, etc.

That said, rather than second-guess Sony’s choices, I’ve cast my mind back to when I expected that if the movie was made, it would be in my home country of Australia, and imagined an all-Australian cast.

How about:

Eric Bana as Don. He’s known internationally for dramatic / action roles but he started off in comedy.

Melissa George as Rosie. Loved her in In Treatment.

Anthony LaPaglia as Gene. My wife assures me he has the “bedroom eyes” necessary for the role.

Toni Collette as Claudia – great comedy credentials as well as the heart to be the moral center.

Cate Blanchett as the Dean. Because I can.

Tim O’Mara's "Crooked Numbers"

Tim O’Mara has been teaching math and special education in the New York City public schools since 1987. Sacrifice Fly, his top-selling debut mystery introduced the series hero Raymond Donne, a Brooklyn public schoolteacher who was once an up-and-coming police officer until a tragic accident destroyed his knees and the future he envisioned on the force.

In the newly released second book in the series, Crooked Numbers, Donne draws on his past as a cop to find the truth when one of his former students is found stabbed to death under the Williamsburg Bridge.

Here O’Mara dreamcasts an adaptation of the series:

It took me too long to finish Sacrifice Fly to get my dream cast.

I’ve thought mostly of Damian Lewis—Homeland—as an actor I’d love to see play Raymond. Not only is he good, but you could drop him into one of my family get-togethers (Ray looks like me) and no one would bat an eye. Steve Buscemi would make a wonderful Edgar, but now he’s a leading man due to the success of Boardwalk Empire. I recently saw Coppola’s The Conversation again and got chills when I saw the John Cazale character. He would’ve been perfect for Edgar and I can’t help but thinking he was somewhere in the back of my mind when I created the character.

As for Uncle Ray, hands down, Brian Dennehy, but since it took me so long to finish the book, Mr. D’s a bit on the older side now. Currently, I think David Morse—most recently of Treme—would do a fine job in the role. Wendell Pierce—also of Treme and The Wire—would inhabit the role of Detective Royce. As for Rachel, Ray’s sister, I’d go with either one of the Mara girls, Kate or Rooney. Good actors both, easy on the eyes, and I might get some Giants tickets out of them.

Nate Kenyon's "Day One"

Nate Kenyon is the author of Bloodstone, a Bram Stoker Award finalist and winner of the P&E Horror Novel of the Year, The Reach, also a Stoker Award Finalist, The Bone Factory, Sparrow Rock, StarCraft: Ghost Spectres, and Diablo: The Order.

Here Kenyon dreamcasts an adaptation of his new novel, Day One:

Who should play lead John Hawke in a movie version of Day One? This one is easy. It needs to be someone who is likeable but with a bit of an edge. He's smart, got just a bit of geek in him, and he's a strong personality who doesn’t do well with authority. He's done some things in his life he's not proud of and broken a few laws, but he's trying to go straight now. He's got a family and he would do anything to keep them safe. But there's something deeper in him, something that keeps him up at night, a secret that very few people can share.

My choice for this role would be Ryan Gosling. He's perfect for Hawke--he's strong and likeable but he's got a darker side that simmers close to the surface. His performance in Drive was one of my favorites of the past few years. I couldn't ask for a better fit and I'd love to see what he would do with the role.

For Hawke's wife Robin, I'd like to see someone like Anne Hathaway. And to direct this blockbuster? That one is easy too. James Cameron.

Anne Hillerman's "Spider Woman's Daughter"

Anne Hillerman's debut novel, Spider Woman's Daughter, is a mystery set in the Southwest, including the Navajo Nation and Santa Fe. The book follows the further adventures of the characters Tony Hillerman made famous: Jim Chee, Joe Leaphorn and Bernadette Manuelito. Anne Hillerman also is the author of the award-winning Tony Hillerman's Landscape: On the Road with Chee and Leaphorn and eight other books.

Here she dreamcasts an adaptation of Spider Woman's Daughter:

I'd love to see an actress with charm, brains, and athletic ability play Bernadette Manuelito. A Navajo actress would be best, of course. I loved Adam Beach and Wes Studi in the Robert Redford/PBS movies that were made of my Dad's Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee stories and I'd enjoy them again in Spider Woman's Daughter.

Other roles? Because New Mexico, my home state, has a growing movie industry it would please me to see as many locals, especially American Indians, hired as possible. And because the setting plays a big role in my book, locations will have a crucial part in making the movie a blockbuster. It would be cool to have it filmed on location in Santa Fe, Gallup, Shiprock and Toadlena, New Mexico, in Windowrock, Arizona, and the beautiful country near Cortez, Colorado. Chaco Canyon World Heritage Site, (home of 53 acres of ruins!), also in New Mexico, should have a leading role. That place takes my breath away and reverberates with its own unsolved mysteries.

Lynn Cullen's "Mrs. Poe"

Lynn Cullen is the author of Reign of Madness, a 2011 Best of the South selection by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and 2012 Townsend Prize finalist, and The Creation of Eve, named among the best fiction books of 2010 by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and an Indie Next selection. She is also the author of numerous award-winning books for children, including the young adult novel I Am Rembrandt’s Daughter, which was a 2007 Barnes & Noble “Discover Great New Writers” selection and an ALA Best Book of 2008.

Here Cullen dreamcasts an adaptation of her new novel, Mrs. Poe:

If my novel, Mrs. Poe, rolls through your mind like a movie as you read it—thank you. My work is done. I would love for you to experience the same armrest-clutching thrill while reading the book as I had in writing it. As I pounded the keyboard, I was cheering with the good guys and booing the bad. I gasped when the action took a twist; I worried when my people got in a jam. If you cry at the end, know that I was sobbing into my Kleenex, too. When I finished the writing, I felt as haggard as a salmon that had swum up the Columbia. I don’t necessarily want you feeling like that.

From the start, the leading man in my mental movie was Ralph Fiennes as he appeared in the 1992 BBC Films version of Wuthering Heights. With his magic Fiennes touch, he made Heathcliff smolderingly sexy and dangerous, yet vulnerable underneath, just like my Edgar Allan Poe. Just like the real Poe, I might add. Honestly. The baggy-eyed ugly madman we know as Poe is a product of the vilest smear campaign in literary history. In a bizarre twist of fate, the man who despised Poe for not only getting his writing gigs but his girl was made Poe’s literary executor. Poe was hardly cold in his grave when this enemy, Rufus Griswold, set out to make Poe look bad. Griswold doctored Poe’s letters and wrote a libelous biography that is the basis of the image of Poe that we still hold today. I promise, Poe was not the crazed druggy you think. He should not be confused with the eerie characters in his tales. He wrote the dark stuff because it sold. The poor man (literally) needed the money.

Mrs. Poe tells Poe’s story during the year he wrote ‘The Raven,’ 1845. Poe was a sexy thang then and his literary success only turned on the ladies more. Since Mr. Fiennes has moved on to other roles, Robert Downey Jr. should feel free to step into the role. Johnny Depp, sans special make-up, would be a smokin’ Poe, too. Or, if Mark Ruffalo wanted to take on Poe’s magnetic persona, all he’d have to do was to comb back his hair and sizzle.

The object of Poe’s true love, both in life, I believe, and in Mrs. Poe, was the poet Frances Osgood. As the narrator of the book, she had hijacked my mind so I wasn’t always conscious of her exterior. Now that I have recovered from the writing, I can see that Kate Winslet is the perfect Frances. Oh, please, film gods, let the movie be made and with Kate Winslet in it! Bring on Jennifer Lawrence in the role of Virginia Poe and that would be a thriller. At least for me. Any other ideas, m’dears?

Natalee Caple's "In Calamity's Wake"

Natalee Caple’s novels Mackerel Sky and The Plight of Happy People in an Ordinary World earned high international praise. Her collection of poetry, A More Tender Ocean, was shortlisted for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. Caple’s work has been optioned for film and nominated for a National Magazine Award, the Journey Prize, the RBC Bronwen Wallace Award, and the Eden Mills Fiction Award.

Here Caple dreamcasts an adaptation of her latest novel, In Calamity's Wake:

My new novel In Calamity’s Wake is a literary Western set in the badlands of the North American west in the late 1800s. In Calamity’s Wake tells the story of orphaned Miette’s quest to find her mother, the notorious Calamity Jane. Miette is reluctant to meet the woman who abandoned her—whom she knows only as an infamous soldier, drinker and exhibition shooter—but she sets out nonetheless across a landscape peopled with madwomen, thieves, minstrels and ghosts, many of whom add a thread to the story of her famous mother.

Casting In Calamity’s Wake would be very fun. It would be a huge cast though, with a lot of famous historical figures. For the sake of brevity I guess I’ll stick with the main characters.

Carey Mulligan as Miette and the young Calamity Jane. You’d have to do some messy work to make her look more intense as Calamity Jane in her twenties but Miette is supposed to be recognized on sight as Calamity’s Jane’s daughter and Mulligan has the right poignancy for Miette.

A French Canadian Simon Baker type as Miette’s wandering bishop adoptive father. Something sweet, intelligent, complicated and tired about him seems essential.

Elaine Miles as Zita. Miles is Nez Perce and it would be nice to have a Canadian actor, a Blackfoot actor (Blackfeet in the US), but Miles looks like the image of Zita I have in my mind, and she has some of the centred stillness, the calm intelligence, I want for Zita.

Don Cheadle for Lew Spencer the “negro minstrel” who travels the States and befriends Calamity Jane and marries brothel keeper and theatre owner Mollie Johnson and is so aware of politics and art. Why? Because Don Cheadle is awesome. Don Cheadle can do no wrong. And he can manage the many levels of Lew with respect.

Holly Hunter as Mollie Johnson (married to Don Cheadle as Lew Spencer). She has the mad energy I would like to see in Mollie and both Hunter and Cheadle have a gift for balancing complex characters who are simultaneously dramatic and comedic.

Frances McDormand as Dora Dufran, Calamity Jane’s best friend, the owner of the Green Front Hotel/brothel a very sympathetic figure with a complicated accent. McDormand has a mastery of voice that I think is necessary to really capture the practical tenderness (and the half British/half Southern accent) of Dora Dufran. She has a very expressive face and she conveys a strength of character in her performance of women that I think makes her the ideal best friend for my anti-hero, Calamity Jane.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Charlie Utter. In contrast to how you usually see him in film Charlie Utter was young and handsome when he was friends with Wild Bill Hickok. He was known for his “bizarre habit of bathing daily” and for being extremely well-groomed. I would like to see the pair portrayed as two good-looking close friends joined at the hip at times, with Bill as the heavier drinker, prone to fights, and Charlie as extremely protective of Bill. Also, showing Charlie and Bill as two halfs of a whole makes the death of Bill more heartbreaking on a personal level for Charlie.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Wild Bill. Wild Bill Hickok was a dashing man, only 39 when he was killed. He had long features and beautiful hair. He needed his friend Charlie, who worked hard to keep him out of trouble. I would like to see Hickok’s usual regal presentation tempered a bit by need and human frailty.

The older Calamity Jane is the hardest one for me. Robin Weigert performed the most authentic version of Calamity Jane on HBO’s Deadwood that I have seen. Her Jane was a complicated human Calamity. And I’d love to see her as Calamity Jane again. The issue in some ways is lining up the many ages at which Calamity Jane would be shown. She had an intense gaze and very light eyes. She was lean and somewhat rough looking. But most importantly the character should be as credible howling drunkenly at the sky as she is risking her life caring for the deathly ill.

She would probably have to be shown at age 12 for a few scenes, as a tall, scruffy girl. She would appear again at around age 24, when she arrived in Deadwood for the first time with Wild Bill Hickok and Charlie Utter. There should be also be one a very stylized, completely different version, played by a different actress, to show the disorienting film versions of her. And then, finally, someone who can play her in her late forties/early fifties at the end of her life.

OK, so the youngest one should be brand new and intensely observant.

Maggie Gyllenhaal could be the impossible film version/movie star who plays her.

And maybe Lili Taylor as the older Calamity Jane. She has the ability to play a character who is in a devastated state with a kind of skinned humanity. Though, I say again, Robin Weigert performed Calamity Jane with such remarkable care that I’d love to see her again.

Ronald H. Balson's "Once We Were Brothers"

Ronald H. Balson is a trial attorney in Chicago, where he has practiced for the last 40 years, and has taught business law at the University of Chicago for twenty-five of those years. Once We Were Brothers is his first novel, which was inspired by several trips to Poland in connection with a telecommunications law suit. The Polish monuments, the memorials and the scars of the war he saw on his trips, motivated him to write his World War II novel. He lives with his family and a couch-eating dog in a Chicago suburb.

Here Balson dreamcasts a big screen adaptation of Once We Were Brothers:

The film rights to Once We Were Brothers has been optioned to a Hollywood production company, but the casting remains on the “to-do list.” The fast-paced novel is a natural for the big screen – dialogue predominates. The story dramatically begins at the Chicago Lyric Opera’s opening night, where a prominent civic leader, Elliot Rosenzweig, is publicly accused of being a former Nazi SS officer and the “Butcher of Zamosc, Poland.” His accuser, Ben Solomon, engages attorney Catherine Lockhart to bring Rosenzweig to court. Over a number of sessions, Solomon tells Lockhart about his family and their struggles to survive in war-torn Poland. He tells her that Rosenzweig (then known as Otto Piatek) and he grew up in the same household--and grew close, like brothers -- only have Otto betray him and his family during the war. Now, sixty years later, Solomon seeks to hold Piatek responsible for what he has done.

As an eighty-two year old survivor of the Holocaust, I think that Dustin Hoffman would be perfect for the role of Ben Solomon. Clearly, a different and exciting dramatic role for an actor who has spent a career in several different genres.

Jennifer Connelly is perfect for Catherine. She is capable of showing fragility and sensitivity, yet is capable of carrying out the strong resolve that sole-practitioner Catherine needs to confront a billionaire and his team of high-priced attorneys. Catherine’s boyfriend is Liam Taggart, a tough Irish private investigator and Ben Solomon’s friend from the neighborhood. The book says he’s got more miles on him than his forty-one years would show. I see Liev Schreiber in the part.

Elliot Rosenzweig is polished, wealthy and arrogant. He is above reproach. He has been given the key to the city by the Mayor of Chicago. Yet he is called upon to defend the most heinous of charges: participation in the Nazi regime. Anthony Hopkins can carry it off.

When Solomon recounts his family’s struggles to Catherine, he relives his early years in Poland, the years in which he and Piatek were like brothers. Young Ben is kind, intelligent and shy. Yet he finds the courage to protect his family and join the Polish underground. Andrew Garfield looks the part and has that inner courage. Young Otto Piatek must be handsome and strong, but he is also cold and slick. I think Ryan Gosling could pull it off. His girlfriend is a Polish girl named Elzbieta. I think Leelee Sobieski would be right.

The love of Ben’s life is Hannah. She is gentle, wise and supportive. Through all of Ben’s efforts to rescue his family and his forays with the underground, she is by his side. Natalie Portman would be perfect. Beka is Ben’s sister. She is carefree, lively and full of spunk. At a dramatic moment, she shows extraordinary courage. I see Jennifer Lawrence as Beka.

Note to my production company. Get your wallets out. This is a three hundred million dollar cast. The movie better do well!

Suzanne Redfearn's "Hush Little Baby"

Suzanne Redfearn, like her protagonist, is an architect. She is an avid surfer, golfer, skier, and Angels fan. She and her husband own Lumberyard Restaurant in Laguna Beach, California.

Here Redfearn dreamcasts an adaptation of her new novel, Hush Little Baby:

Hush Little Baby tells the story of Jillian Kane, a woman who appears to have it all—a successful career, a gorgeous home, a loving husband, and two wonderful children. The reality behind closed doors is something else entirely. For nine years she has hid the bruises and the truth of her abusive marriage in order to protect Addie and Drew, knowing, if she left, Gordon would destroy her—destroy them.

When, in an act of desperation, she flees, her worst nightmare is realized and she finds herself on the run with her two young children, no money, and no plan. With Gordon in hot pursuit, there is only one inescapable certainty: No matter where she goes, he will find her. Kill her. And take her children.

A riveting page-turner, Hush Little Baby exposes the shame and terror of domestic violence as well as the disturbing role manipulation and sabotage can play in the high-stakes game of child custody. It is a novel about the unbreakable bonds of family and the astounding, terrifying devotion of a mother’s love.

Publishers Weekly described Hush Little Baby as "cinematic," which certainly got me fantasizing about a big screen adaptation, and the cast in my dreams is amazing.

Jillian, the narrator and protagonist, was easy, Reese Witherspoon. She's the right age and has that wonderful feminine strength, that seems both fragile and invincible. She's a little quirky and totally loveable. Physically she fits the bill, petite and pretty but not extravagantly gorgeous. A real person who seems both smart and tenacious enough to be a high-powered architect, yet soft and sensitive enough to be a devoted mother. She's also a mom of three kids and is fierce about protecting them and their privacy, so she would relate to Jillian and her struggles.

Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt on Grey’s Anatomy) would be my choice for Gordon. He's handsome, tall and strong, and has a good guy face, but he can turn ugly. Kevin McKidd's portrayal of post-traumatic stress disorder when he first came to the cast of Grey’s Anatomy was amazing, a true Jekyll and Hyde transformation that would be perfect for the heroic Gordon, who behind closed doors is an abusive dangerous man.

Jillian's dad would be Robert Duvall, because I would totally want Robert Duvall to be my dad. He's tough but also sweet in a rascally sort of way. Nick Cancelleiri is one of my favorite characters in the book, Jillian's broken hero.

Diane Keaton would play Jillian's mom, because I'd love to see her lock horns with Robert Duvall. Plus she brings amazing emotional range to every part she plays, the drama always believable as well as the humor.

I'm in love with the half-Native American, half-white Paul who jumps in the river to save four-year-old Addie then offers Jillian and her kids a safe-haven where they can hide from Gordon. I'm also in love with Keith Urban. Both Paul and Keith have kindred spirits, a soulfulness that is both mystical and tragic, sensitive and spiritual, yet irreverent and self-destructive like they are not made to live within the confines of this world. Keith Urban's rugged handsomeness, sinewy toughness, and tattoos fit the role perfectly.

Reese Witherspoon, Kevin McKidd, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, and Keith Urban—how's that for an all-star lineup? What a wonderful dream!

John Ferling's "Jefferson and Hamilton"

John Ferling is a leading authority on late 18th and early 19th century American history. He is the author of many books, including Independence, The Ascent of George Washington, Almost a Miracle, Setting the World Ablaze, and A Leap in the Dark.

Here Ferling dreamcasts an adaptation of his latest book, Jefferson and Hamilton: The Rivalry That Forged a Nation:

A movie has been made about Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson in Paris), but none about Alexander Hamilton so far as I know. But is it outlandish to contemplate a movie about their rivalry at the time of the nation’s founding? They were colorful figures and opposites in most respects. They offered competing visions of the shape and character of the new United States. Their intensely partisan struggle polarized the American people in much the same fashion as American politics has been polarized in recent years, and some things that divided them – the size of government, for instance – continue to cause political divisions today.

Jefferson was quiet, reflective, and hated personal confrontation. The perfect actor to portray him would be Colin Firth, who has already played young George VI and Johannes Vermeer. Impetuous Alexander Hamilton dominated every room that he entered, liked nothing better than confrontation, was given to intrigue, and was an inveterate risk taker. Donnie Wahlberg, the tough detective on CBS’s Blue Bloods, a cop who never shrank from defying danger or ducked out on a fight, would be a perfect Hamilton. Besides, it would be worth it just to see him don a powdered wig.

Jefferson’s wife Martha died a dozen years after they married. She was bright, attractive, and polished, but not strong-willed, and by all accounts Jefferson was devoted to her. Scarlett Johansson is the hands-down choice to play Martha. Four years after Martha’s death, while abroad on a diplomatic assignment, Jefferson met the alluring Maria Cosway, well-educated, a renowned artist, and sexually liberated, a woman unlike any that Jefferson had ever encountered. Carey Mulligan, English like Maria and most recently the fetching Daisy in The Great Gatsby, would be an ideal choice for playing her. On his return from Paris, Jefferson commenced a lengthy intimate relationship with Sally Hemings, one his slaves who was described by many witnesses as extraordinarily attractive. Kerry Washington is that to be sure, and she enhanced her credentials by appearing in the ABC series Scandal. She wins the role in a jiffy.

Hamilton said that his wife Elizabeth was “not a genius,” but added that she had a “lovely form, sweet softness and innocent simplicity,” much like Rachel McAdams, the dark-eyed and (sometimes) raven-haired star of The Notebook. While Treasury Secretary, Hamilton became embroiled in an affair with Maria Reynolds, a grifter who together with her husband subsequently blackmailed her supposed lover. Rooney Mara, the face of Calvin Klein, could bring Maria to the screen in a flash.

Jefferson and Hamilton interacted with a bevy of bigger than life figures. There was George Washington. No one has gotten him right on the screen, but I’ll bet Liam Neeson could. Aaron Burr was like Hamilton in many ways and eventually killed him in their 1804 duel. John Leguizamo, a soldier in Casualties of War as Burr actually was in the Revolutionary War, is just right for playing this shrewd, calculating, ahead-of-his-times New York politician. Leguizamo can even look ornery, which makes him a dead ringer for Burr. Hamilton never hated any man more than John Adams and Jefferson never loved any political compatriot/foe more than Adams. John Malkovich would be perfect as the cantankerous and acerbic old Adams. Besides, anyone with the mettle to fight all the terrorists in Red 2 could stand up to Hamilton, just as President Adams did. Bruce Willis would nail the daring and combative Benedict Arnold, the traitor that both Jefferson and Hamilton wanted to hang.

Tom Leveen's "Sick"

Tom Leveen is the author of Party, Zero, and manicpixiedreamgirl. Zero was named to YALSA’s list of Best Fiction for Young Adults.

Here Leveen dreamcasts an adaptation of Sick, his first foray into the horror genre:

I don’t get out much anymore. There, I’ve said it. Who’s hot, who’s not? No clue. But here’s what I’d love to see happen with Sick, the movie:

Brian, played by a young River Phoenix. That would have been awesome.

Kenzie, played by Vanessa Marano or Mae Whitman. (Both are technically too old now, but it’s good base to work from.)

Jaime, played by a young Lou Diamond Phillips! That would be so kick ass.

But really, if it was up to me (and it never would be), I’d push for a cast of unknowns. That way they’re free to invest in the story and the characters.

Also…I just don’t watch enough TV or see enough movies to know who else to pick from! Everyone I’d choose was probably hot in the eighties, that much I know. I suppose if I watched Glee, I’d have a better idea…? #showingmyage

Having said that, I do know that if either Aaron Sorkin or Joss Whedon wanted a crack at adapting the novel for a screenplay, I could probably be talked into that…
