What did u think? Well come on and tell me! Just leave a review in the review box, pretty please.
For the actors and actresses, well I like Ian McKellen for Merriman, but I had no idea who should be the lady…I just thought maybe Maggie Smith (she's McGonagall from Harry Potter) but that's just tentative so I didn't put her in there, but I wanted more than one name. So I thought maybe Kevin Bacon could be the Rider, I just thought of him in Hollow Man (he plays a lot of evil guys, or at least in what I've seen) so I put him in there. Let's hope he can fake an accent. For Will, I had no idea. I thought Shia LaBoef could do him, maybe (like norah-hunt said), but I wasn't really sure since he doesn't seem the type to do serious stuff. So tell me in your review! So I can have it for the next chapter. Any ideas for Jane or Barney tell me. I already want Haley Joel Osmont to be Simon (it just works). So give me a review!
silent H :D
