A Nicholas Sparks adaptation could work for her


I've been thinking that maybe a Nicholas Sparks romantic flick could work for her, since the ages of the female leads are quite ambiguous in their film adaptation and don't require to act like teenagers.


So maybe that will help her for mainstream fame and popularity after all Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling became household names thanks to The Notebook.
Actually I'd like her to repeat couple with Jaimie Campbell or if not Theo James

What do you all think ?

I'm not the biggest Nicholas Sparks fan and I don't picture her in one to be honest. I picture her in something more like Titanic or Gone With The Wind, an epic romantic drama set against the backdrop of a historical event.

I think it sounds like a good idea and more realistic. It would get her out there and she needs a well known hit film with her as the lead character. However, I wouldn't want to see her paired with Jamie again. I think she had the most chemistry with Logan Lerma, so I would rather see her with him again. Theo James would be a nice pick.

This would be cool, but they rarely make these types of films and there is more guarantee with Nicholas Sparks films. I wouldn't want to see Lily in another failed carbon copy of Titanic. *Cough*Pearl Harbor*Cough* Lily doesn't need another massive flop or mediocre film.

Yeah acting wise it's not the best choice but it could be a box office hit and would give her attention, and in which was paired up with Logan Lergman ?

Need to check that film, it's funny how he looked a pretty boy in the three musketeers but looked a weird outsider in perks of being a wallflower.


A romantic epic film in the style of Titanic or an historical even sounds great I really liked February's idea but like you said they don't make them anymore.

She was in Stuck In Love with Logan Lerman. I personally picture her in a romance with an older more seasoned actor. I think Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, and Leonardo DiCaprio would be some interesting picks. I would like to see her paired with a lot of actors.

I'm personally getting tired of older actors always being paired with younger women all the time. It's as if older actresses aren't good or sexy enough, so they have to go for a much younger actress who looks almost young enough or is young enough to be their daughter. I know Lily isn't extremely younger than the actors you mentioned, but I still have to side eye it. There are plenty of age appropriate talented actors she can be paired with. I think Lily would fit better with a younger actor. I guess Tom Hardy would be okay, but she would look extremely young against Fassbender and DiCaprio. Especially Fassbender who looks the oldest.

for an older actor i think Christian Bale would be her best choice.

all the actors you picked are amazingly talented but for some reason i can't see them with Lily.
they are too buffed or big for her, but i could be wrong many of my favorite movie couples are with actors i would have never put them together vfore i watched their resepctive films.

an EXAMPLE
Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott thomas in The Englsih Patinet in my opinion they are the most perfect romantic movie couple ive seen but i would have never put him with someone like KST if it wasnt for The English Patient


my choices for him would have been a young Michelle Pfieffer, Nicole Kidman and Kate beckingsale. who have slimmer bodies and more delicate Facial Features.



i think lily fits better with actors closer to her age and actually im not so against of actors being paired up with younger actresses but in Lily´s case i dont she would fit with someone Like Michael Fassbender or Leo Dicaprio but like said i could be totally wrong.


reply

Christian Bale never crossed my mind. That could be interesting. I am curious to see how she would fit with Michael Fassbender or Leonardo DiCaprio. I just think Lily has a bit of an old soul to her, so maybe that's why I keep imagining her with older actors.

I also see a mature woman in the way she carries herself but still looks young.

So a young actor with those characteristics would be perfect for her so that's why I keep insisting with Theo James who seems to be a little mature In his roles but yet has a young face.

I think they would make a great couple, but Christian Bale would definitely be my choice if she Is gonna be paired up with a more seasoned actor.
