The Host Movie: Who Do You Think Should Play The Lead Roles?

*The pictures I chose were as close to the characters (as I see them coming to life) that I could find. I hope y'all agree with me =]*

Ian: Tom Welling; Perfect amount of Macho, Protector, and Hotness

Kyle: Daniel Cudmore; This pic, to me, is the essence of Kyle

Jared: Channing Tatum; In this pic, I think he could totally pull off Jared's character

Wanderer: Ann Sophia Rob; I think she's perfect for Wanda's own body in the end.

Melanie: Odette Yustman; if maybe her skin was just a bit more tanned

Jeb: Sam Elliot; exactly like I pictured him

Jamie: Jimmy Bennett; I think he's super cute, and just the right age!

What do y'all think? Do you agree w/ my picks? What are your picks? Who do you think should play these roles?

I really like your Ian, and with Chris Evans as Kyle, they would actually look like brothers! :D I love your choices for Jared and Jeb also, but I think Wanda needs to be shorter than Amanda Seyfried, even though I like Amanda

Thanks! A friend of mine suggested Sean for Ian's part and I was instantly sold.
This picture is what I really imagined Ian to look like:

I agree about Amanda too (that's why she was still a 'maybe' in my book). Just haven't found the perfect Pet yet and she was the closest I could find.

Wow, i really like your cast. I also think Jamie should look a tad older, maybe a more grown up version of Jimmy would be good too. But Odette Yustman is PERFECT for Mel, i couldn't agree more and Ann Sophia as Wanda's body too. I could completely picture Channing as Jared. When i was reading The Host i couldn't picture any actors who could play these characters, nothing sprung to mind, but your suggestions really put a face to them :). Oh but i always pictured Jeb to look like Kris Kristofferson who plays Whistler in "Blade".

Ooh, maybe the look of Max Thieriot for Jamie - yep that's pretty close to what i pictured. Though, Max might be too old for it now.

Anyway, check it out, Jamie and Wanda's body lol.. :D

Ok, might be getting a tad carried away but..

Ryan Kelley. I think he's too old for it now but i think he looked like a Jamie.
