Casting the Doorknob Society
I’ve been told a number of times that the Doorknob Society Saga should be made into movies. With that in mind I decided to have a little fun and cast the Doorknob Society movie. I’ve only chosen three characters to cast I will do another post about more later.
Chloe Masters– The trick to casting Chloe will all be in finding the right attitude. She is tough without being overbearing and needs someone to pull that off.
Sasha Pieterse from the show Pretty Little Liars always seems to pop up when Chloe is discussed.
Elizabeth Gillies from the show Victorious has also been mentioned as she has the right attitude to pull off the character of Chloe Masters.
Maddie Hasson– (Updated from the comments below, thanks Michelle) After thinking about this I must say I think Maddie would be a perfect Chloe. I loved her in the Finder where she had attitude and was a wonderful actress. Perfect pick I think.
Jessica Grimm– Jess is the most beautiful women in the world of the Doorknob Society and is always dressed well and holds her self perfectly. She has one of the most compelling story arcs of all the characters.
Teresa Palmer has been in movies like I am Number Four, The Sorcerers Apprentice and Bedtime Stories. She has a wonderful look and could be a great Jess.
James Nightshade– This is by far the hardest part for me to cast as so many people have had casting suggestions for the part. Most of the names mentioned would be to old for the part but I will throw them out their anyway.
Eric Balfour from the show Haven has been mentioned.
Stephen Amell best known for his role as Green Arrow in the CW show Arrow is a frequent choice as well.
Alex Pettyfer is also mentioned often for the role, he starred in the movie I am Number Four as well as several others.
Let me know your thoughts on who should play what characters.

- Casting the Doorknob Society part 2 | The Doorknob Society - [...] I discussed the idea of Casting The Doorknob Society movie. It generated a lot of fun responses here and on Facebook. So…
That would be so awesome.. To see my FAVORITE books come to life in a movie!!!!
Which character would you most like to see in the movie and any ideas who you want to play them?
I see Emma Thompson as Ms. True

I see Maggie Smith as Grandma Grimm

I am still thinking on the rest. I will post as I think of them.
Tony Goldwyn as Mr. Tower
Guilermo Diaz as Darker
Lana Parilla Chloe’s mom
I always thought of John Malkovich for Mr. Tower. I need to think about a good one for Darker.
I pictured Darker like Alfred Molina, this is such an awesome series!!
OOO I like that idea.
I think those are great choices!! Not sure about Chloe because I watch pretty little liars and can’t get Sasha’s character out of my head and they are so different. If Lucy hale had blond hair I could see her!
I’m starting to think Teresa Palmer could pull off Chloe instead of Jess.
Jess – Hayden Panettiere
Chloe – Maddie Hasson
Nightshade – Toby Hemingway
I’ll come up with the others later
I like the idea of Maddie, I was a big fan of her on The Finder.
Maddie would be the best choice I love that idea. The Finder was great!!! Wish they had never cancelled it.
Maddie would be PERFECT as Chloe!! She is my final pick for her. I’m also set on Charlize for her Mom. Everyone else is up for debate for me so far.
Alex Pettyfer for Nightshade definitely!!!! I love Maddie Hasson as Chloe- that’s exactly how I pictured her!!!!
Maddie Hasson has by far become my favorite for the part of Chloe. I keep flip flopping on Nightshade though.
