I finally finished drafting Alpha Protocol, and I have to say, thank the gods! It's with the editor and a couple beta readers at the moment, but we're on track for a February release. However, once I finished and could release my brain from scramble and write mode, I started daydreaming. What if I had the ability to pick the cast for the hypothetical movie version of Alpha Protocol? Any else ever do that with their books? Anyway, here's who I chose for the main characters:
Captain Thulisile. Lupita Nyong'o. Thuli is the leader of the Alpha Team and has supernatural powers, but she's fighting a shadowy spirit that wants her to give in to her dark urges.

I've seen Lupita Nyong'o in various films and she's awesome in everything she does. I think she could portray Thuli very well and bring a lot to the movie.
Following Thuli, we have everyone's favorite, Special Agent Doyle Johnson. He's appeared in the other two Dark Tyrant books. I needed someone who was older and could play both action and comedy well. I wracked my brain thinking about this for awhile, but then my wife said, Woody Harrelson. It was perfect!

Think of Special Agent Johnson as a Deadpool-esque character that is equal parts badass and insane.
Next, we have the rest of the Alpha Team. Here we have Sergeant Fergus. A large man with ginger hair. He's quick to anger but takes care of his friends. I picked Kristofer Hivju, or as many of you know him, Tormund from Game of Thrones.

For the team's sniper, we have Kenshin. He's quiet, funny, and is very into origami. I chose Hiroyuki Sanda. He always shines in everything he's ever been in.
For the team's medic, let me introduce Hanna. As a former Navy corpsman, she brings a lot to the table. I needed a strong actress to play her, so I chose Jessica Chastain. She's amazingly talented.
Finishing up the team, we have Cheryl, a Crow woman who is also a demolitions expert. She's not one to trifle with so I needed an actress that could bring that kind of seriousness. I chose Native actress, Devery Jacobs.
Next, we have Frank and Holly Phister. They are siblings and lead the Phister & Phister Paranormal Research Squad, or PPRS. I needed another strong actress and someone who could play a funny sidekick. So I chose Brie Larson and Josh Gad.
There are more characters in the book, but these are the ones that get most of the spotlight. For those of you who have read my books, who would you cast for the role of Special Agent Johnson?
