Grace Kelly is no longer available to play Evelyn so if some people wants to fancast her as Evelyn why can’t you let them be? There’s no need to rain on anyone’s parade. She’s not a threat to your fave getting the role.

Also, if you look at the castings of popular books turned to movies or series, none of the fan favorites get the roles. I’m 99% sure that the actresses who will eventually play Evelyn and Celia have never been mentioned in this thread.
This x10000000
Most popular film adaptation casted no name actors (robert pattinson for twilight , jennifer lawrence for The hunger game, they were nobody before these films). Initially, people were outrage fot these castings because they didn't match character image in their head but they ended up loving these actors anyway.
Casting director will do what they want, none of us here has any power regarding that matter.
Let's people have fun, it's that serious anyway. People here can dream cast who they want.
We have no news regarding the adaptation anyway, for all we know it may take years.

While reading the book I tend to picture Evelyn as a mix between Rita Hayworth (changing herself in order to look more american, I could bet that the author took this actress as inspo) and Marilyn Monroe (sex symbol). And now that I did some research, perhaps also a bit of the fierceness of Lauren Bacall or Sophia Loren.

And for Celia I'm not really sure... I imagine a certain type of "innocence" on her at the beginning. They often describe her beauty as girl next-door, with round eyes and all. She was also incredibly talented and the best example for all of that would be Audrey Hepburn.


The author clearly took inspo from the top celebrities of those times so we probably got it right with at least one of all the actresses that we have named in the thread. I can also see it happening with the other actresses that some of you have mentioned.

Just finished and loved the book. I kind of imagined Sarah Gadon as a young Celia. She has that old timey Hollywood look and girl-next-door vibe.
Wow yep I can see it too.
X3 can totally see it too. It would be amazing if they cast her or an actress of similar appearance for Celia.

I can see why some of us are caught up by it and is getting such a big ruckus in the lesbian community and yet it also bothers me that the author probably think that they nailed it with the wlw aspect of their book when they definitely didn’t.

God yeah you've captured the emotional rollercoaster that is this book. I can never reread or relisten to this book again. I don't even know if I can watch the adaptation though I'm sure they'll fix a lot of the issues by making their relationship more romantic.

Whether you feel like finishing the book or not I think you're already so invested that if you don't finish you'll wonder what the ending is forever.

You were right, I did indeed finish it and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised.

What was your take on it anon? Did you like it? or hated it? or was it in between?
Perhaps the author knew we would be left in a gray area with our feelings just like Monique...

A lot of people want Ana De Armas as Evelyn but she's already doing a Marilyn Monroe biopic so this would probably feel reductive. I personally would like to see someone like Eiza Gonzalez. Evelyn is a white or white-passing latina and I think Eiza fits the bill.
Eiza definitely fits the bill. Her life and Hollywood career are also quite similar to Evelyn. Changed herself in order to be more appealing for the Hollywood masses. She has those brown eyes and the type of beauty that would have you looking twice. Although just as Ana de Armas, she seems to be doing a biopic of María Felix so it could also be a bit repetitive... but she would certainly kill it as Evelyn Hugo.


Besides as another anon said, productions rarely cast the fans favorite so we will most likely get two unknown actresses for the movie. I just hope that the one that does Evelyn is indeed latin or has latin heritage otherwise a vital part of the character that makes her who she is, would be disregarded.

Am I the only one that was left hungry for more wlw stories with Hollywood's golden era as their context?? Another wlw with famous figures, preferably 2 famous actresses of those times? a bit of a remake of this story but better lol

Like I bet there could be some properly written and compelling stories made from that. I mean, there's so much material to explore.

It also leaves me thinking on actresses such as Marilyn Monroe, Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford and the list goes on and on. There's also rumors of some same sex one night stands from Elizabeth Taylor (allegedly with Marilyn Monroe), Brigitte Bardot, etc. It wouldn't be so far fetched to think that more known actresses also fooled around here and there.

It was written by a straight woman which answers most of your complaints. I think the book is okay but seriously flawed as a lesbian romance.

Evelyns love for Don and later harry came across more real then her love for Celia. Taylor Jenkins Reid is the kind of straight woman who go around calling herself bi but is too straight to even a right f/f romance belivably. That book is not good and any enjoyment ppl get out of it is incidental

Welp, honestly this could be a hint and Brittany responded : "my full face was in that last one & you know I thought of you" :blinkwide:
My dream cast was Jessica Chastain but I guess she's too famous.
And with that pic of Brittany I can totally see Celia so I wouldn't be that mad personally.

No it's still there, the picture is the last picture on her most recent instagram post.
Did Jessica say something about the book that I don't know of? Either way I think she's the prefect Celia too but this isn't going to be a blockbuster movie so I don't think they can afford her she's way too famous. Same as Ana de Armas won't play Evelyn. Even if this book truly deserves a top notch cast and adaptation...

I thought its adapted to a tv series? from such casting alone I wont expect much from this adaptation it will probably look too hallmarky and D-list. Jessica hasn’t said anything but many suggested it as a book rec on her IG post last year so I think she is 100% aware of it. Anyway, Jessica is perfect for this role she is thee Celia St. James sorry Brittany

she is as mid as it gets and that's tells everything about the level of production. her acting is just ok too. also a casting an actress mostly known for the biggest queerbait after rizzoli and isle, is a choice. cannot wait to truly breakout my popcorn at evelyn casting.

And I doubt they are close to starting filming. I really hope we get some info soon on where it's moving and what the format will be. I swear if it's not a mini series. There's no way they can possibly make it a two hour movie and do it justice imo.

I don't have any issues with Brittany (I've liked her since American Dreams days), but a big no to her as Celia. Just no. She doesn't fit. At all.
