Dream Casting for As The World Dies - Kind of a Contest

I've had a lot of people ask who would I want to play certain characters in As The World Dies

should it ever be made into a movie or TV show and I had no real suggestions. So I'm wondering what ya'll think

For my favorite cast suggestion, you will get a free signed copy of As The World Dies: Siege when it comes out later this year

If ATWD was made into a movie or mini-series, who would you want to play the following roles?

Katie

Jenni

Travis

Juan


Previous suggestions have been:

Katie

Sophia Myles (Moonlight, Underworld)

Kristanna Loken (L Word, BloodRayne, T3)

Gillian Anderson (X Files)

Jenni- Basically, no suggestions. Someone tossed out Michelle Rodriguez, but I can't see it. Can you?

Travis

Ben Browder (Farscape, SG-1)

Nathan Fillon (Firefly, Desperate Housewives)

Juan- (he resembles Robert Rodriguez, the director, in the book) No suggestions

Nerit

Mira Furlan (Babylon 5, Lost) She's about a decade younger than Nerit, but would kick ass.

If you come up with any suggestions for minor characters, post those too!

I'm anxious to see your suggestions.

FIRST UPDATE:

A suggestion was made on the Library of the Living Dead Forum here for the role of Jenni.

Non-Hispanic actress Mia Kirsher was suggested.

I can see it working, but I was thinking of Hispanic actresses (or half at least).

But if you went for someone who could play crazy (and Mia can), I would offer up Summer Glau.


2nd Update

This suggestion also came from the Library of the Living Dead forum. I REALLY like it.
Jordana Brewster is Latina (like Jenni) and can seriously kick ass if she wants to.

CONTEST! CONTEST! CONTEST!!!

Recently I received what I'm calling a "gimped" shipment of As The World Dies: Fighting to Survive. Createspace has rectified the issue that caused the books to arrive without page numbers and headers to the mini-chapters. All the zombie goodness is still intact, the story is all there, the cover looks amazing, but they have those two small flaws.

I don't feel right selling these at an upcoming convention, so I thought I would hold a contest for them. If you win, you will get an autographed copy of the "gimped" book AND a special sneak preview to As The World Dies: Siege. So if you can survive not having page numbers or the mini-chapter headers, send me a short paragraph explaining who is your favorite ATWD character and why.

The winning entries will be read on the Library of the Living Dead Podcast with the infamous undead doc himself, Dr. Pus.

Send your entry to gothgoddessrhia at gmail.com and make sure you label it "Contest."

The winners will be selected by the end of April.

Good luck!
