dgcaffeine Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 OH, I love this idea! I hope Lionsgate is reading this & takes notice. People will definitely follow a miniseries more closely than wait for a season 2. Great idea!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyY37 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Gideon tells Eva in chapter one of "Reflected in You" that he first saw her outside "On the sidewalk" before she entered the Crossfire Building.  Since this event happens in the first chapter of "Bared to You", do you think the scene should be played as Eva saw it or as Gideon did?  Eva did not see Gideon or the Bentley on her way into the building.  Gideon saw her walking down the street toward his building, watched her admire the Crossfire from the outside, then walk inside.  I would like to see the Bared to You scene played out from Gideon's perspective but without showing his face until Eva sees him standing in front of her.  What do you think?

MegansCoils Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I agree I like Henry Cavill, he has an accent, blue eyes and can make me swoon, look at me! I'm doing it now! Although he is not that good in dramas I'd love to see James Franco as G so his brother can play Chris lol. I love his brother. I also like Adrian Grenier (who is 6') but he doesn't seem too Gideonish.  I think it could be a five season show (since it's five books) and every episode can be 30 min to an hour or so and have about 5 chapters in each episode.

GLH Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think they will start out with BTY nd see how it goes. If it does well they will do Reflected and so on. I love the idea of filming them all at once. It would allow actors to look the same since each book is only a month or so. I cannot wait.

GiGi Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I just watched a show about how television has changed recently.  With my new found knowledge, I would like to make a proposal to Lionsgate (if you are reading this):  Film all five books at one time and present the results on television like Netflix presented "House Of Cards".  The entire first season of House of Cards,13 episodes, premiered on the same day.  This option for the Crossfire series is fabulous.  Your audience will love you for it.  First, this type of production might make more actors available becuase it would be a long movie shot rather than a comment of years.  Second, sets and locations would not have to be maintained and/or retained for as long.  Third, you can present your finished product when interest is at its peak.  Fourth, the series already has a beginning, middle and end.  It is not a story that will continue like a regular television show where new scripts are presented each season until writers run out of ideas.  It suits the format of a movie but a movie made like a mini-series which allows for character development and details that are so often lost when books are made into movies for the big screen.  Fifth, many of your viewers will already have read all the books so there is no suspense.  (Another idea would be to present it like "Roots".  Then you could keep people watching for weeks!)  Based on the views of this forum, your primary audience cannot wait for the last two books.  And if you give us the right cast in your television show, we will ask Santa to put the box set under our Christmas trees or ask Cupid to bring the set for  Valentine's Day with our chocolate and flowers. Hi Betty, I really like the idea of a mini-series! Now all I need is for Santa to place that Bentley SUV and the boxed-set of the Crossfire Series underneath my Christmas tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea GLH. It would be important for the mini-series to be filmed all at once and not to have some huge potential time lapse, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathalia Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I agree...I'd love a mini-series for this much more than a reg TV series.   Can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyY37 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 We know the actor who plays Gideon has to play sex scenes (for reference check out Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon in "The Tudors") but he needs to have dramatic skills too I think Lionsgate should use the scene at the end of chapter 18 in "Reflected in You" for auditions. Gideon and Eva are in his Mercedes after he picks her up at Dr. Terrence Lucas' office. This is when he tells her about the abuse he experienced. Do you have any suggestions? I purposefully picked a scene without sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettyY37 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Listening to music I thought Beyonce's "Halo" recorded by a guy would be good music for the end of chapter 18 after Gideon tells Eva how he had been abused as a child  "Remember those walls I built Well, baby they're tumbling down And they didn't even put up a fight They didn't even make a sound I found a way to let you in But I never really had a doubt Standing in the light of your halo I got my angel now It's like I've been awakened Every rule I had you breakin' It's the risk that I'm takin' I ain't never gonna shut you out Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away I can feel your halo halo halo" (This is not the entire song)  I do not have a singer in mind.  Any suggestions?

MegansCoils Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013  How about Theo James as Cary Taylor?  For Carey I see no one other than Ian Lynch. He's on a LOGO showed titled 1girl5gays and I think he is soooo HOT! He has a straight twin brother but he is not half as hot as him.  '> Late night partying Carey: https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/687523116/bruiser.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikki-Sixx Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi everyone. My personal choice for Gideon Cross is Henry Cavill (who seems to be a popular choice) . He's tall, muscular and has long dark hair and amazing hair. haha. My choice for Eva (apart from me .. ) would be Scarlet Johannson she's super cute and has the right figure. . Just a suggestion for the soundtrack a few tracks off Lana Del Ray's album would be perfect, her voice is amazing and her songs are the right mix of slow/ romantic and sexy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyY37 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi MegansCoils and Vikki Sixx  I like your comments and suggestions. v I like the look of Ian and I like Scarlet too.  I will look up Lana Del Ray because i am not familar with her.  I tend to find specific songs for specific scenes or events.  I posted several on the "Music" topic alreadylike  Bruno Mars "When I Was Your Man" for Brett when he finally realizes Eva is Gideons  This song is from the Broadway musical "Wicked" for Corinne when she learns Gideon has chosen Eva  "I'm Not That Girl" Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy But I'm not that girl Don't dream too far Don't lose sight of who you are Don't remember that rush of joy He could be that boy I'm not that girl Ev'ry so often we long to steal To the land of what-might-have-been But that doesn't soften the ache we feel When reality sets back in Blithe smile, lithe limb She who's winsome, she wins himGold hair with a gentle curlThat's the girl he chose And Heaven knows I'm not that girl Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart I wasn't born for the rose and the pearlThere's a girl I knowHe loves her so I'm not that girl...

BettyY37 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just read "Meet Sylvia" at sylviaday.com.  Now I understand references like "Gray's Papaya", "John's Pizza" and "Junior's for cheesecake."  Spoken like a true New Yorker.  I have been having trouble finding a place for Gideon's penthouse.  The one building I found that has Central Park and skyscrapers is the Sherry Netherland at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 59th street.  If you go farther uptown, you lose the skyscrapers as the backdrop from Gideon's office windows.  Watching Jeopardy tonight - Did anybody know Seven-11 sells blueberry coffee?

BettyY37 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I found another song that I think is great for the series    (Everything I Do) I Do It For You    by Bryan Adams  Look into my eyes, you will seeWhat you mean to meSearch your heart, search your soulAnd when you find me there you'll search no moreDon't tell me it's not worth tryin' forYou can't tell me it's not worth dyin' forYou know it's trueEverything I do, I do it for you  Look into your heart, you will findThere's nothin' there to hideTake me as I am, take my lifeI would give it all, I would sacrifice Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' forI can't help it, there's nothin' I want moreYou know it's trueEverything I do, I do it for youOh yeah  There's no love, like your loveAnd no other, could give more loveThere's nowhere, unless you're thereAll the time, all the way, yeahLook into your heart, babyOh, you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' forI can't help it, there's nothin' I want moreYeah, I would fight for you, I'd lie for youWalk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for youYou know it's trueEverything I do, oh, I do it for youEverything I do, darlingAnd we'll see it throughOh we'll see it throughOh yeahYeah!Look into your heartYou can't tell me it ain't worth dying forOh yeah  I'll be there, yeah I'll walk the wireOh, yeahI'm going all the way, all they way, yeah   So many of the words in this song come right out of Gideon's mouth almost verbatim.  I could hear it as an instrumental background on his way to kill Nathan but the words would need to song at an earlier point in the show for the meaning to be known  I know this was in the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner but it is so good for Gideon.

BettyY37 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 OPINION Just listened to the bedroom scene that took place the Thursday morning before premier of the video for "Golden". The scene is in chapter 15 of "Entwined with You", Gideon tells Eva how he wants to be with her and "I'll make you happy the rest of your life." That conversation reminded me why Crossfire is special. Sylvia has written some of the most romantically moving words spoken by a male character. Sylvia Day is not writing the screenplay. She has said that. It will be very important for the screenplay writer who does bring these characters to life on television to remember Gideon the actor must speak like Gideon in the book.
