Why wouldn't they make a movie?

      FOX picked up Lauren Oliver 's Delirium for a pilot. But the pilot was rejected.

C A S T

Emma Roberts as Magdalena Haloway

Daren Kagasoff as Alex Sheathes

Jeanine Mason as Hana Tate

     I don’t agree with the cast. It’s wrong. They do not fit the characters. Especially Hana and Alex! In my opinion, Emma Roberts as Lena is OK, her appearance looks like Lena’s. But Alex and Hana don’t look like they are supposed to. So I decided to find completely different an actor who would be perfect for Alex and an actress for Hana. As for me, I wouldn’t make the Delirium trilogy as TV series. It had better make a movie (three parts: Delirium, Pandemonium and Requiem). I haven’t watch the pilot series because comments were negative. According to them, it has nothing common with the book. The first episode included the whole Delirium and the part of Pandemonium; all interesting, important and notional scenes were not shown. It’s strange.

It is the trailer for the TV series which Fox decided not to pick up. Here the official trailer 

 

…but I think this trailer is more detailed

   Who could play Lena Haloway?

     As for me, Emma Roberts is suitable for this part.

     Lena described herself as not ugly, but not pretty either. In-between, she said. Her eyes are not green or brown, but a muddle. She's not thin, she isn't fat either. She is short. Described with long and soft brown hair, and a splatter of freckles on her nose.

Who could play Hana Tate?

Amber Heard

Sasha Pieterse

  Hana Tate is tall, blonde, beautiful, and rich. Lena said “She’s absolutely gorgeous – even when she just twists her blond hair into a messy knot on the top of her head, she looks as though she’s just had it styled”. Sometimes breaking rules was an exciting entertainment for Hana. “...as she is: running, laughing, tan and happy and beautiful…” I imagined Hana like Amber Heard or Sasha Pieterse, I would choose one of them.

 Who could play Alex?

Alex Pettyfer

Brenton Thwaites

        
     The actor for Alex looks nothing like him! He is described as having auburn hair (like a crown of burning leaves), gold eyes, and tan skin. Autumn leaves are not black

     I think Alex Pettyfer or Brenton Thwaites could play Alex. If I have to choose one of them I’d choose Brenton Thwaites. He would be perfect Alex because he looks really like him.


    To sum up, this whole trailer and the first episode were not anything like the book. I’d like to see a scene when Alex taking Lena over the fence to show her his trailor (his home without the roof where they watched the stars all night) and poetry. Show the abandoned mansion they used to lay in and have picnics in. The last few chapters were the most important, which have to be shown: her being tied to her bed so that she couldn’t escape from the cure the next day; jumping out the window to Alex; their running and the tragic final.
