My Dream Cast for The Renegades and The Lunar Chronicles!
I’ve always loved watching movies based on books, like the Harry Potter and the Hunger Games movies. The Renegades and The Lunar Chronicles haven’t gotten their own movies yet, but I’m sure they will soon! Here’s my dream cast for The Renegades and The Lunar Chronicles if they are made into movies! Hope you enjoy - it was a lot of fun!

Watch the video below to see a lineup of my dream cast for The Renegades — some characters have multiple options, and I left out a couple (like Leven Rambin for Ruby Tucker) since I only thought of them after making the video! If the video doesn’t load on email, then it’s probably best to watch it directly on the blog page.
