ok this is my final casting for the characters i can think of if i find others later then i'll post it but for the characters i do have this is my final casting.
jared padelecki-shane
lucas till-michael
ashley greene-eve
taylor momsen-claire
leighton meester-monica
sam trammell-sam
stephen moyer-oliver
alexander skarsgard-brandon
bill nighy-bishop
i don't know for amelie, ysandre, mynin, or francois yet

I have no idea for shane but he has to be amazing! Ashley Greene as Eve is awesome! I dont know about the other ones though >.<

Eve- Ashley Greene
Claire- Leighton Meester
Shane- Jamie Johnston
Monica- Lisa Marie Caruk
Michael- Ed Westwick
Mr. Collins- John Goodman
Amelie- Jenna Dewan
Sam- Michael Angarano
Gina- Ashley Benson
Jennifer- Megan Park
Oliver- Matthew McConaughey
Jason- Andrew Janes Allen
Brandon- Justin Chatwin
Miranda- Mackenzie Rosman
Ysandra- Kierstin Koppel
Francios- Kelly Blatz
Myrnin- Donal Logue
Theo- Delroy Lindo

i think some of thoughs are really cool i think she means what character u want to be and i wud be either eve or claire

I think that the obvious choice for Myrnin is Jonny Depp!

haha, yh Lanfier I completely agree!
n ashley greene would be great as eve

I'm not sure who I'd have in my dream cast, I don't know about many actors/actresses, but I would not want Ashley Greene ad Eve, no offence to the many people who would. She's just too small (Not calling Eve fat) and, she was Alice from the Twilight movies, right? Well, if she was, the Morganville Vampires would be associated closely with Twilight, which in my opinion, is a bad series, and even worse in movie form.

Also, as a side note, in my head, while reading the books I picture Shane as Quinn Allman ( Guitarist of The Used), and Myrnin as Mike Kirsh (Bassist of The Midway State) Neither is an actor, that I am aware of, though. I also picture Michael as my friend Michael, who looks nothing like how he is described in the book. Oh well. :\

Third comment in a row...Yay! DX I clearly need a life, or at least sleeping pills, it's like 5:45 am... XD
But... I'm going through nixter_94's list of people, to see what they look like, these are my thoughts on the actors, and I don't mean to be offensive to nixter_94, they just have a good sized list. >.<


Eve - Ashley Greene (no)
Claire - Leighton Meester (yes)
Shane - Jamie Johnston (no)
Monica - Lisa Marie Caruk (maybe)
Michael - Ed Westwick (no)
Frank Collins - John Goodman (yes)
Amelie - Jenna Dewan (no)
Sam - Michael Angarano (no, but I can see him as Shane or Myrnin, maybe Jason.)
Gina - Ashley Benson (yes, She'd make a good Monica too)
Jennifer - Megan Park (yes, she'd me a good Monica, Gina, or Claire too (Claire if she had brown hair))
Oliver - Matthew McConaughey (no)
Jason - Andrew Janes Allen (YES!)
Brandon - Justin Chatwin (No, maybe Shane)
Miranda - Mackenzie Rosman (Yes, or Claire.)
Ysandre - Kierstin Koppel (If she was paler, and had blonde hair)
Fancois - Kelly Blatz (Yes)
Myrnin - Donal Logue (Oh, God, no, I picture Myrnin really hot, and that guy is not hot)
Theo - Delroy Lindo (No, but I pictured Bishop black, so, to me, he'd make a good Bishop)

I have no idea who i picture in my head as the cast but i'm going to comment on all the other people who think there actors would work (which they wouldn't well some might)
Eve as Ashley Greene (NO!!!) she was already in a vampire movie duh!
But i do see Eve as Kierstin Koppel
Claire as Leighton Meester would be totally wrong When ever i think of Leighton I think of her as mean girl Blaire on Gossip Girl(NO)
Shane-Jamie Johnston first of all Shane suppose to be Bigger than that kid and Jamie is blonde (NO)
Monica's charater could be played my anyone bitchy enough
Micheal-Ed Westwick really all i can think of him is bad boy Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl So (HEll NO!)
Frank Collins-Blake Clark (YES!!!)
Oliver-Matthew McConaughy (EWWWW NO!!!!)
Jason-Andrew Janes Allen (YES!)
Myrnin-Jonny Depp (YES!)

To all the peeps who said Johnny Depp as Myrnin...i say yes..thumbs up...for some reason Johnny Depp can play this character perfect. Shane..I still couldn't think of anyone..he's gotta be perfect to play Shane.
others:
Claire --- Alexis Bledel
Michael---that guy from the movie Last Song..dunno his name
Amelie ----Nicole Kidman
Ysandre --- Megan Foxx
that's all i could think of as of now..I don't think people from twilight should be in on this one. Give others a chance ..

for Myrnin - Angel
for Amelie - Nicole Kidman
claire - hilary duff or miley cyrus
shane - nick jonas
michael glass - spike
eve - jassica beil
oliver - Nicolas Cage
sam - ???

if its alot of pop-y teen actors ill kill myself ><

I don't know about the others, but:
Kierstin Koppel - Eve
Jonny Depp - Myrnin (DEFINITELY!!!)
I'm a Myrnin/Claire fan. I'm NOT wierd.

Well, I have to think alot about this, because I disagree with most of everyone else casting ideas, no offensive. The last thing I want is Morganville Vampires to be another Twilight or a Teen Drama like Gossip Girl, though I like both of those shows/movies/books. Morganville Vampire should stand on it's own.

My Dream Cast (picking a Shane & Sam as hard)

Claire - Gabrielle Christian
Eve - Kat Dennings
Shane - Tyler Kyte
Michael - Alex Pettyfer
Amelia - Nicole Kidman
Oliver - Gerard Butler
Monica - Leah Pipes
Sam - Matt Lanter
Myrnin - Jonny Depp
Ysandre - Meghan Fox

My dream cast is:

Claire ~ Michelle Trachtenberg ( She's really pretty, and, although Claire reminds me of myself mostly, I could just really imagine her as Claire :D )
Shane ~ Steven R McQueen ( I'm just completely in love with both him and Shane, so... :D ) OR Chace Crawford ( He's absolutely gorgeous...need I say more? ;) )
Eve ~ Amy Lee ( She looks just like what I imagined Eve would look like, and she's just amazing :) )
Michael ~ Alex Pettyfer ( He just looks fit to be Michael to me :) )
Myrnin ~ David Tennant ( I imagined Myrnin JUST like David Tennant's character in Doctor Who :) )
Amelie ~ Anne Hathaway ( After seeing Alice In Wonderland, I just thought she was PERFECT for Amelie :) )
Ysandre ~ Megan Fox ( Her performance in Jennifer's Body and her look just make me think she'd be a great Ysandre :) )
Francois ~ Gaspard Ulliel ( I'd never really heard of him before, until a friend told me about him. I looked him up and he just fits the part of Francois perfectly :) )
Bishop ~ Bill Nighy ( Another I was never really familiar with but just fits the part :) )
Oliver ~ Gerard Butler ( I personally don't see it, but the majority of people seem to think he'd be great :) )
Kim ~ Audrey Kitching ( She has a total Kim look :) )
Frank Collins ~ Ron Perlman ( I think he'd make a great Frank :) )
Brandon ~ Ed Westwick ( Gossip Girl being one of my favourite shows, Ed, to me, is the PERFECT Brandon :) )
Monica ~ Leighton Meester ( Her character in Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf, is a lot similar to Monica Morrell in The Morganvilles, so I believe she'd be able to play the part for her. Her look also resembles my idea of Monica :) )
Gina ~ Nathalia Ramos ( She reminds me of what Gina would look like :) )
Jennifer ~ Sara Paxton ( She fits the look of Jennifer in my mind :) )
Jason Rosser ~ Carter Jenkins ( He looks a lot like what I pictured Jason to be :) )
Sam ~ Chris Rankin ( He looks like a great Sam to me :) )

I haven't thought about the rest yet, but with regards to Myrnin. I like the suggestions of Johnny Depp (god yes, I love that man) and David Tennant (can so see this one). I also thought maybe Penn Badgley after seeing him in John Tucker Must Die.

Sophia Myles would be good for Amelie

your placing people in a role of a vampire because that is what they are famous for and its just not right here is my cast list hopefully some people will agree with me.

Claire - Emma Roberts
Shane - Zac Efron
Eve - Pauley Perrete
Oliver - Mark Harmon
Amelie - Abigail
Myrnin - David Tennant
Bishop - David Mccallum

Ysandre, Bishop, Francois and others are yet to be decided :)

Eve- Lizzy Caplan (when she's goth) and good to make out woith alex
Claire- Taylor Momsen(and good to make out with garrett or someone else)
Shane- Garrett Hedlund(good to make out with taylor or anybody else
Monica- Lisa Marie Caruk
Michael- Alex Pettyfer or someone else...
Frank Collins- mark pellegrino
Amelie- Nicole Kidman
Gina- Ashley Benson
Jennifer- Megan Park
Miranda- Mackenzie Rosman
Ysandre- Megan Fox
Francios- Gaspard Ulliel
Myrnin- David tennant (good crazy teacher)


i dont know for sam, brandon, oliver and theo yet.

Claire-Lily Collins
Shane-Daren Kagasoff
Michael-Jean-Baptiste Maunier
Eve-Jessica Stroup
Oliver-Alex O'Loughlin
Amelie-Mélanie Laurent
Sam-Simon Woods
Myrnin-James McAvoy
Frank Collins-Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Monica-Michelle Trachtenberg

i think that:
Ashley Greene should play Claire because shes tiny and shes totally gorgeous and to Shane she is gorgeous and her smile makes her look even prettier.

Kristin Stewart should play Eve because she can pull of the goth look and her and Ashley have already played best friends so it will be familiar.

Sterling Knight should play Michael because he can sing and he is like... gorgeous.

Zac Efron as Shane because he is lush and could pull of being shane easily! Plus him and Ashley would make a cute couple.

Andrew James Allen as Jason because he can easily pull off the look.

Nicole Kidman as Amelie because she could play a dominant and ruling person with ease.

Alex O'Loughlin as Oliver because he just looks like the person you could trust but actualy is evil!

Leonardo De Caprio should be Sam because he usualy plays the loving type and him and Nicole would just have chemistry on screen.

David Tennant as Myrnin because he is just so crazy and could play him perfectly.

Hillary Duff as Monica Morrell because i think she could be bitchy perfectly.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) as Frank Collins because i think he could be a vampire hunter perfectly with how huge he is and because he usualy plays the loving father but if he could play a hard father it would be perfect.

Justin Chatwin as Brandon because he has that look about him..

Claire Danvers -Emily Browning / Ashley Greene
Shane Collins - Shane Harper (maybe?)
Eve Rosser - Taylor Momsen (YEAHH!)
Michael Glass - Jeremy Sumpter / Alex Pettyfer

Amelie - Cate Blanchett (maybe?)
Myrnin - Johnny Depp (I feel like he's a bit too old because I always see Myrnin as a mid-twenties guy, but Depp would play him AWESOMELY! xD)
Oliver - undecided
Sam Glass - undecided but someone who looks like Michael with red-hair :)

Monica Morrell - Candice Accola / Leighton Meester
Richard Morrell - Drew Roy
Jennifer - Danielle Panabaker
Gina - Haley Bennett

Frank Collins - Dwayne Johnson (I really like someone's suggestion up there)
Jason Rosser - undecided

Brandon - undecided but someone hot :)
Bishop - Bill Nighy
Ysandre - Nina Dobrev (I've ALWAYS seen her as Ysandre because I love how she acts as Katherine Pierce in Vampire Diaries. Plus, I feel like Ysandre and Katherine are very similar in personality)
Francois - undecided but someone hot :)

Who have I missed? :)

Claire Danvers- Alexandra Chando
Shane Collins - Ben Barnes
Michael Glass- Alex Pettyfer
Eve Rosser - Elizabeth Gillies(with Goth make-up)or Amy Lee
Amelie - Emilie de Ravin (with some make-up on to look a little older , but not too old because I always imagined Amelie as being somewhere between 25 and 28)
Myrnin- Ian Somerhalder
Oliver- I don't know , L.O.L
Sam Glass- Chace Crawford
Monica Morrell-Julianne Hough
Richard Morell-Drew Van Acker

Bishop - Jeff Bridges

I don't really care about all the others, but for Amélie, definitely Nicole Kidman. (For full effect, she'd have to be made up to look like Jane in the Twilight movies. That's how I've always imagined Amélie...). <3
