I love movies that begin with...


(Crank it up for the movie experience!)

Each time those rays of light peek over the horizon and the horns begin to play, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I love it!

And I can't wait to see the Universal logo play at the beginning of...

The
THIRTEEN REASONS WHY
movie!!!

Since the news just broke publicly, I had to rush this post so most of you would hear it here first and not flood my inbox with Is it true??? emails. (But you can find out a few more details right here.)

Yes, it's true. And no, I could not be happier with how this came about and the people who are involved.

More soon...

  17. I just read the article at Deadline. Selena Gomez? Really??? SO COOL! I love "Wizards of Waverly Place". Not quite how I imagined Hannah, but who cares? She's a great actress. And her mother is producing the movie, so I guess she won't back out of the project anytime soon ;)

    congratulations - it'll be something different a suspence YA film. The fans want Logan Lerman to play Clay. He would be perfect pls tell them to cast him if you have any say. Selena will have to dig deep to handle a dark character like Hannah but i think she can do it.

    Jay Asher, you should consider Logan Lerman for the role of Clay Jensen. He's such a talented and dedicated actor and I'm sure he'll do a great job portraying him. Seriously, you'll like the guy.
