play a youth, however I saw Black Swan in which she plays a teen and she does a very good job. I can understand why you would want unknowns to play her (and everyone else) though, less hollywood, less money, less hassle etc etc. While I think it would be cool to see the Stravaganza books made into movies, when I think about it, there are actually a lot of books that have been made into movies that ended up ruining the magic of the books...don't get me wrong, there are several movies that did their books justice but there are still those movies that aren't and I think that messes things up. I think that making a movie would have to be entered into with slight hesitation so that the books could still be seen in the movie... For some reason, I just can't see them animated. I don't think it fits, usually animated movies are all 'not real' but I think that that defeats the whole point, because you want to show how real this world is, it's not just a figment of someones imagination.
