NaNo Novel Casting 2014

It’s that time of year again. This year I have decided to do a Choose Your Own Adventure novel, loosely based on a certain murder mystery board game.

To fit the structure of my story (which I will hopefully detail in a later article, if I can persuade myself to do so), I need to have 7 male and 7 female characters. This works out at one pair for each room on the board (yes, I know there are 9 rooms in the real game but I did say loosely).

Below is the current casting of each pair of characters. I shall endeavour to update the list as I decide upon further characters.

• Earl Gray: Anthony Hopkins
• Lady Gray: Lucy Lawless
• Master Gray: Michael Pitt

Conservatory

• Mr Ruby: Max Martini
• Mrs Ruby: Christina Hendricks

The Cellar

• Father Jade:Johnny Depp

I shall also add which rooms they are in once I’ve decided. Happy NaNoing!
