can you post on here – the cast list pleaseeesss

Dear Stephenie Meyer,

I don’t know if it is
the fact that we have the same names, that our fathers have the same names, or
I am just completely intrigued with you’re writing, but I feel a deep
connection with most of the characters you create.

However, I feel a
much, much stronger connection and pull to the characters in your novel, The Host. I relate to Melanie and Wanderer
to no end and consequently do not want the book to ever end. I have become so
absorbed in the book that I am trying to drag out the reading process so that I
won’t be as upset when it’s finished. And yet I still find my fingers reaching
for the book as I am trying to limit my reading. I would give almost anything
to be Wanderer or Melanie instead of myself any day for the pure thrill, love,
family, and struggle that lies in the pages of this novel.

Additionally, I am
just about willing to do anything for you to be able to be part of the creation
of this film. What I want more than anything I’ve ever wanted before is to be
able to act the part of Wanderer and Melanie. I am good at being quite, good at
looking scared, at yelling, at reading, at telling stories, at following
directions. I wish that someone would meet with me and hear me out and give me
a chance – I’m willing to do the role for free. All I want is the experience,
the chance to be a part of something this big. I really just don’t want the
story to end for me. I feel as if I’m a part of the book now and I don’t want
to lose that. Being in the film would mean that I would never lose myself from
the novel, that I would forever be connected. Even playing a small role which I
do not want would be better than watching it be made and having no part at all
in the process.

When I saw that person
to play Melanie/Wanderer had been chosen already, before I got my chance to say
anything, my heart instantly dropped and my stomach caved in. I already feel an
emptiness that I will not get the chance to fill, all my hope ripped away. Even
if I had not been chosen to play the part, I would have been happy knowing I
tried and they/you chose someone else. However, now I do not even get the
chance, for the actress has already been chosen.

I would still do
anything you would like to get that role. And on top of doing anything you
would like, I would also play the role for no money at all, completely free.
Movies need fresh faces sometimes, new actresses, and I think I can do an
outstanding job. Like I said, I’m good at following directions. At the very
least I would love to meet with you or the people running the production and
filming of The Host.

I’m very small. I have
long, straight brown hair. I have hazel eyes. Like Melanie, I tan easily. I am
very good at storytelling and speaking. And I am beyond resilient and strong. I
truly am perfect for the role, more perfect than the girl chosen for the part.
They clearly did not have Melanie in mind when they chose her, which makes it
tougher for me to accept the fact that the cast has already been chosen. This
girl is not anything like how you described Melanie. I swear I would be perfect
for the role, although that kind of makes it seem like I wouldn’t. But would it
really hurt to meet with me and see if I have the ability to play the character
you dreamed up?

Anyhow, you are an
extremely talented writer, although you already know that. Because of this, you
have created a character that has changed my view on life and reminds me of
myself in extraordinary ways. Please give me a chance to play the part in the
most amazing way it can possibly be played. Give me a chance to keep this bond,
this dream of mine alive.

Stephanie
