Penelope is loyal, smart, and charismatic just like Nina Dobrev. Nina Dobrev also has a warm appearance and face shape that gives off the same appearance as Penelope.]]> 2022-01-25 18:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011873002 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011877122 I think she would be a good person for this role because Blair is very confident and sure. She also goes for what she wants and doesn't care who she hurts. This goes with Penelope's mom because she loves the ocean and does what she wants even if it hurts Penelope. They also love not the best guys.]]> 2022-01-25 18:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011877122 isabelaguerrero24 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011886454 Margot Robbie would be a good pick for Helen because she is very beautiful and alluring person. In the book Helen is a very pretty character which has many characters mesmorized which I think Margot would play this character well. ]]> 2022-01-25 18:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011886454 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011892431 I think Zendaya would be a good actor to play Penelope because they both are very strong people. Penelope has had to go through life with parents who did not show love towards her at all. Zendaya has had to go through life with people constantly calling her names. I think they are both very strong for what they have gone through and think Zendaya could play Penelope's role.]]> 2022-01-25 18:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011892431 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011896938 Angelina Jolie would be great as Penelope's mother, considering some of her well known roles, she has been someone who has been portrayed as disconnected and complex. Not only is she lovely like a nymph, she also has an hard and cold aspect to her. One of her previous roles, as Maleficent, she portrayed the character in such a way were you could tell there was more under the surface when it came to the emotions of disconnect and harshness she showed up front.]]> 2022-01-25 18:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011896938 katherineward24 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011896960 I think Sandra would be a good Helen. In the book, Helen is described as very attractive. Sandra is also very gorgeous and gives me the same vibe that Helen has given me so far in the book.]]> 2022-01-25 18:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011896960 juliaorue24 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011899954 I think Jennifer Aniston would play a great role as Penelope because in all her films she's displayed as an intelligent woman. She is also a very humorous and likable person. All the suitors wanted Penelope for themselves and Jennifer is a very attractive person. She is also very angelic and determined. -Julia Orue ]]> 2022-01-25 18:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011899954 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011904772 Megan Foxes has a cold appearance and her roles usually have an abundance of confidence. She constantly is in the eye of the media and is able to draw attention to her beauty.]]> 2022-01-25 18:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011904772 nicolettearamian24 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011906246 Florence Pugh would be a good Athena because she has strong features and she looks like how I imagine Athena to look. Her and Athena are both very strong characters. Florence has a very confident and bold personality like Athena so I think that she would play Athena well. ]]> 2022-01-25 18:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011906246 katherineward24 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011908965 When I first read the book, I pictured Penelope as a curly-headed blonde. Taylor Swift as well has curly blonde hair and young taylor swift is the perfect option because she is young like Penelope.

The actor has intimidating eyes which Penelope feels often when with her father. He has a stern look that can give a cold and intimidating feeling when around this person. ]]> 2022-01-25 18:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011913488 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011916327 Alan Rickman would be a great casting option for Icarius. Considering the amount of variety he had in his roles as an actor, he could definitely play someone who tries to fix their relationship with their child after he tries to kill them. Alan has a type of acting where he really tries to get into the characters mind and why they do the things they do. I think he'd be great at the depth that goes into trying to repair a relationship between child and parent.]]> 2022-01-25 18:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2011916327 https://padlet.com/ewilkinson23/vd8i29d3ihl3xozu/wish/2017349325 I think Britney Spears would be good as Penelope because of her mother-like figure. I feel Penelope and Britney share a responsible and motherlike personality. I imagine Penelope as a middle-aged blonde with fair skin.
