So I continue to be a horrible blogger but thanks to the suggestion of Bee, I have my Dexter and Remy. While I am not too fond of Adam Brody, I understand that he makes a great choice for Dexter (and it’s not a Jonas brother so colour me happy). There are similarities between the character of Seth from The OC and Dexter. I do believe a reader said that Sarah once remarked on this but I cannot find where this occured – anyone want to help an overworked blogger out?
Bee also suggested Olivia Wilde as Remy and I definitely see that. I cannot stand her as 13 on House but she definitely has that coolness, that removed sensibility about her. Boys would also find her difficult to resist. Both of these actors are too old to play Dexter and Remy but agism doesn’t apply to Hollywood teens, does it? I also suggest that Bee might have a slight fascination with The OC, as both were on it at one stage. She kindly refered me to this youtube video featuring Brody and Wilde.
Anyone want to suggest some more casting? Or sub in for the next chapter response? Leave a comment or email me at sddiarist@gmail.com.
Cute. I agree that they are both too old, but nice options. I think Olivia maybe is too sharp faced for Remy… I picture her a little more soft. Not by much though.

the moment dexter was described for the very first time, I thought ADAM BRODY.
ahha and I know they’re like 17′ish or something, but I don’t think adam brody’s too old at all.
I mean, if people actually casted highschoolers, as highschoolers, I wouldn’t be satisfied, seeing as they would deem too young in my eyes
I wish remy and dexter got together.
the ending of THIS LULLABY was sort of bittersweet. a little more sweet than bitter, but you know.
I am now resorting to FANFICS where they do end up together ahha.

I think they shouldn’t look for people who are already famous or somewhat known and maybe take a chance with aspiring actors or people with a pasion to want to start in the business but don’t know quite how. a casting call for anyone not relaying too much on resumes & more on what you see in the auditions. I mean what better way to start than to be a movie based on a sarah dessen book! dream come true I’d say.. well at least for me

I always saw Remy as Kristen Bell. Olivia is unnaturally gorgeous like out of this world. I’d like a more girl next door pretty for Remy

I think that Remy needs to be a brunette and Adam is cute but maybe a bit too old for the movie they aren’t adults

Well they kinda are adults. granted young college students but technically adults lol.
We can’t have like a 30 year old but If the person can pass as a 18 to an 20 year old than its all good.

Did you know Olivia Wilde’s character on House is named Dr. REMY Hadley, a.k.a. 13.
Just thought I should point that out
