THE SECRET LIVES OF BEE'S

[rose1elf]

hey i just heard rumors going around that they might be making a movie based on the book "the secret lives of bee's" i dont know a whole lot now but i'll post anything once i find out more.

[kate12whisper13]

They are suposdly supposed to be making it but Dakota Fanning was the star and now she isn't...

[sally]

oh I remember seeing that on her IMDB page well if there is a part open I'll dig

[alexia]

Remember: IMDB is NOT the most reliable place to go.

Dakota Fanning....bleugh. I'm sort of getting sick of her even though she's a good actress.

[kate12whisper13]

She's in too much things!

[rose1elf]

i think she's okay its just that she's in every single movie so new actresses can get their break....... i dont think she's write for Lily anyway... i pictured lily a little taller than Dakota and having darkish hair and light freckles..... by the time they start filming i would be about old enough to play Lily!

[sally]

she needs to learn to be a kid and not work for a bit any one agree?

[megz]

I think Dakota Fanning's a good actress but not right for this part. I wld hav DIED if she'd become meggie!

[rose1elf]

same here! yeah i think Dakota should try to just be a regular kid... i think she's gonna be the next Jodie Foster.... i don't know why it just seems like Jodie Foster was kinda the Dakota Fanning of her day

[abbysader]

Dakota's not going to be in it. And it's out in 2009.

They want an unknown (figures since it's peter jackson, he almost always casts unknowns)


Besides that would be horrible-Lily has black hair, is a developed 14 year old, with "Sophia Loren" eyes, and is probably bronzed from her travels.

In other words, Dakota would never be lily thank gosh.

I haven't read this book, but it's next on my list! Can someone who has read it please post a character description?

[rose1elf]

lily is a fourteen year old girl with dark hair and i'm not sure what color eyes.
she's regular sized for her age (14) and i agree with Abby that she is prabably tan with a couple of freckles

[kate12whisper13]

Is Peter doing this.... and Lovely Bones?

I am tanned with a couple of freckles over my nose that you can only see up close - and my hair is kinda darkish - escepially when it gets wet! ;D

And I'll be 14 next year ;D

[rose1elf]

no i don't think so.. doesn't seem like his kind of movie

[abbysader]

Here is the basic description:

*black hair, pg. 9
*14 years old, pg 1
*developed, pg. 9 and 55
*Average looking but w/ nice, "Sophia Loren" (almond)eyes, pg. 9

I want an unknown that looks just as I imagined. They did a great job with Lyra and HP books, so I trust them, if they cast unknowns. If not an unknown, then I wish Jena Malone wasn't so old. In this pic(when she was younger) she looked perfect:

She was amazing in some movie about abuse-perfect for Lily since T.Ray abuses her, etc.

Another that would be good would be Hailey Anne Nelson. She is the right age and looks like Lily to a tee based on description. She also is a great actress and decently unknown.

here's a pic;
