Talk:Beautiful Creatures (film)/@comment-24526524-20140210155722

It's incredibly difficult to compress any novel into a two hour movie. But I think this film captured the soul of the story much the way the Interview with the Vampire movie did with Anne Rice's novel. Yes there were a lot of changes, but the soul of the story was Ethan and Lena's love for one another. Which I think was beautifully and very believably portrayed by Alden and Alice. I even think combining the characters of Amma and Marian into one, actually worked perfectly for the movie and Viola Davis was brilliant in the role. I truly believe that Beautiful Creatures would work perfectly as a t.v. series, since then the full story can be explored much more deeply as well as the characters. Also, since the authors have continued to do novella's about some of the characters. I think they still have a lot of story to tell and a t.v. show would be a perfect medium for that. But, I do not believe that a t.v. show would work without this cast. I genuinely believe that this movie was one of the most perfectly cast films I've seen in a long time. I truly hope we see a sequel or two, I think now that the characters and backstory have been established they can do so much more with another film.
