With Pretty little Liars closing in on it's final season, I thought about the possibility of a Pretty Little Liars movie. As much as I would love it to be an extension of the TV show, these women cannot keep playing High School girls. So if there was a PLL movie, it would have to be an reboot/adaptation of the books by Sara Shepard. And we'd also need a new director. Sorry, Marlene, but you have to go too.
DIRECTOR: SOFIA COPPOLA
Sofia Coppola is a great choice for a director. PLL is a teenaged girl driven story, so who better to direct than the director of The Virgin Suicides and The Bling Ring.
Now that we have a Director, who should star in it? Here's my choices.
SPENCER HASTINGS/OLIVIA HOLT
Spencer is the youngest daughter of the Hastings family. She's hardworking and very much an overachiever, winning many academic awards and prizes in her prep school Rosewood Day. Despite this, it seems like Spencer can't ever escape the shadow of her smarter, more perfect older sister, Melissa. I chose Olivia because she just looks right fro the role. And many of her roles in the Disney Channel is a smart, overachieving character.
HANNA MARIN/ARIEL WINTER
Hanna is the current "It" girl at Rosewood Day. She's beautiful, graceful and perfect in every way, but appearances can be very deceiving, because Hanna actually has a lot of problems. Back in 7th grade, she used to be the chubby girl of the group. often feeling ugly compared to her thin friends, Hanna convinced herself to throw up, gaining an eating disorder. Ariel Winter would be the perfect choice for Hanna, because she's incredibly beautiful, busty and can play both loser girl and it girl.
ARIA MONTGOMERY/JODELLE FERLAND
Aria Montgomery is the female Holden Caulfield. She is a free thinker, and does not want to conform to "Typical Rosewood" life, despite being best friends with Alison Dilaurentis, the most popular girl in all of Rosewood. After spending three years in Iceland, Aria moves back to Rosewood, still haunted by her missing friend, Ali. I picked Jodelle Ferland because of her physical resemblance to the book character, and her fashion choices in real life is something Aria probably would wear.
EMILY FIELDS/SOPHIE TURNER
Emily is the sporty girl of her Clique. She is the champion swimmer of Rosewood Day. Even though she comes from a very conservative family, she hides the fact that she is actually a lesbian, and was in love with her missing BFF Alison Dilaurentis. later, she meets Maya St. Germane, a new girl who Emily develops feelings for. Sophie Turner would be a great choice for many reasons. She looks like Emily, she is god at playing dainty girls with hidden secrets, and being in a show like Game of Thrones, there is probably nothing she can't handle.
ALISON DILAURENTIS/ELLE FANNING
The queen of mean herself. Ali was the most popular girl in all of Rosewood Day, up until she was murdered. She was beautiful and graceful, but also conniving and evil. She played cruel mind games with her BFFS, and showed no remorse to the people she victimized. For this role, I chose Elle Fanning, because if anyone is gong to play Queen Ali D, it's going to be a well known movie actress.
Now that we've cast the leading ladies, it's time to cast the supporting cast, A.K.A, the people who could be A.
MONA VANDERWAAL/SARAH HYLAND
Mona is Hanna's current best friend. She was once a nerdy loser, but unlike Hanna, Ali was not her friend, and would constantly torment poor Mona. Three years later, Mona and Hanna are now the "It" girls of Rosewood day. Sarah Hyland would be a perfect choice, because Mona is very bitchy in the books, and Sarah is good at playing Bitchy characters.
MELISSA HASTINGS/ MARGOT ROBBIE
Melissa is Spencer's smarter, more beautiful older sister. Whatever Spencer has accomplished, Melissa has already done it twice as good. Spencer is very envious of Melissa. For Melissa, I chose Margot Robbie, just because I'm starting to become a fan of hers, and she's also got that elegant grace to her that's very Melissa Hastings.
EZRA FITZ/ALEX PETTYFER
Ezra is the AP English teacher at Rosewood Day. He and Aria make out in a bar after she returns from Iceland, not realizing that Ezra is her new English teacher. Alex Pettyfer would be an interesting cast, because just like Ezra, he's in that age where he's not a boy, but not quite a man yet.
DR. WREN KIM/KI HONG LEE
Wren is Melissa's boyfriend. He is of Asian descent, but was raised in England. The Hastings family takes a liking to Wren, Spencer especially. Ki Hong Lee of Maze Runner fame is probably who I would cast as Wren.
DARREN WILDEN/SCOTT EASTWOOD
Darren Wilden is the detective in charge of the Alison Dilaurentis murder case. He begins dating Ashley Marin, Hanna's Mother, in exchange for not charging Hanna with theft. For this part, I'd have to go with Scott Eastwood
MAYA ST. GERMANE/ZENDAYA
Maya St. Germane is the new girl in town. She moves into the old Dilaurentis house three years after the disappearance of Alison Dilaurentis. She becomes close with Emily Fields, and the two develop feelings for each other. For this role, I'd have to go with Zendaya.
JENNA CAVANAUGH/CIARA BRAVO
Jenna is the stepsister of Toby Cavanaugh. She's pretty, but not very popular. She is deathly terrified of her older stepbrother. She was blinded in a "Freak accident" and has since dropped out of Rosewood Day, and enrolled in a school for the blind in Pennsylvania. I'd cast Ciara Bravo as Jenna.
TOBY CAVANAUGH/NICK ROBINSON
Toby is the older stepbrother of Jenna Cavanaugh. He is considered a freak in the Rosewood community, and is rightfully so. Toby scares many people, his stepsister Jenna included. For this part, I'd go with Nick Robinson.
ASHLEY MARIN/JULIA ROBERTS
Ashley is the mother of Hanna Marin. When Hanna was in seventh grade, Her husband tom left her and their daughter to fend for their own. They thrived without him, and are way more wealthier than before. She loves her daughter, though sometimes can seem neglectful. I'd cast Julia Roberts.
SEAN ACKARD/JIMMY PINCHACK
Hanna's boyfriend in Book 1. Hanna has had a crush on this guy since seventh grade, back when she was fat and pimply. Hanna becomes very disappointed when she finds out that Sean is saving his V card until marriage. For this part, I'd choose Jimmy Pinchak.
NOEL KAHN/LUKE BILYK
Noel Kahn is Aria's main love interest in the books. He is popular, handsome, athletic, and the last guy anyone expected to end up with Aria. Aria was the female Holden Caulfield. Free spirited and original, and he was a "Typical Rosewood Boy" or at least in her eyes. But somehow, they became the "It" couple of the book series. I'd cast Luke Bilyk.
So this is what I've got so far for the hypothetical Pretty Little Liars movie. Hopefully one does get made.
MELISSA HASTINGS/ MARGOT ROBBIE
Melissa is Spencer's smarter, more beautiful older sister. Whatever Spencer has accomplished, Melissa has already done it twice as good. Spencer is very envious of Melissa. For Melissa, I chose Margot Robbie, just because I'm starting to become a fan of hers, and she's also got that elegant grace to her that's very Melissa Hastings.
