Does anyoone else feel like the supposed casting for the Selection Netflix movie is a disgrace? Like, I've seen Yael Grobglas in Jane the Virgin and Reign and she's a great actress, but she's thirty-six. America Singer is seventeen. Micheal Malarkey, supposedly playing Maxon, is almost forty. Maxon's nineteen. Also, hair can be dyed, but Grobglas is blonde, whereas America's red hair is pretty commonly mentioned in the book. Maxon's hair is supposed to be "like honey". Malarkey has dark hair, close to black. Geez.
The only actor I can actually picture as Maxon is him, and he's not even a well-known actor. For America, I would love Abigail Cowen or Madalaine Petsch. And I've always thought Emilia Clarke would be perfect as Amberly.
What do you think?

A Brief Synopsis of The Elite
America: Okay, so I'm at the palace, I'm maybe-sorta-kinda in love with the Prince, but my ex is here and now I'm the Bachelorette.
Aspen: Maxon's an entitled snob, you can't trust him.
Maxon: I want you to marry me.
America: Yes!
Maxon: America... Your best friend was caught cheating on me and if I don't have her beaten and thrown out, I'll be overthrown. I'm so sorry.
America: Why did you do that? I hate you!
Also America: I really, really don't want to hate you...
Maxon: *Lets Celeste kiss him to distract him from the chaos in his life*
America: OH MY GOD, I HATE YOU! GET OUT OF MY LIFE! SCREW YOU! SCREW THE MONARCHY! *Proceeds to propose treason on live national television*
Maxon: *lets his father beat him instead of America*
Rebels: Okay, people, we're storming the palace and killing all of y'all!
Maxon: We have to hide!
America: I'm sorry... I was so stupid... I wish I could stay...
Maxon: I... like... you...
Maxon: Dad, America saved my life (not really true) and I want her to stay.
Clarkson: Ughhh. Fine. But if she causes another speck of trouble, she's dead.
America: Ohmigod, ohmigod, I get to stay!!!

A Brief Synopsis of 'The Selection'
America: I'm happy right here; I'm ready to be a Six. This is what I want! Aspen, will you marry me?
Aspen: Only if you enter the Selection lottery first.
America: Okay, fine. But I don't want to be the Princess.
Aspen: Sorry, but I just realised after two years that I don't want you to be a Six. I love you, but bye.
Clarkson: So the Selected girl from Carolina is America Singer!
America: WHAAAAAT?
America at the Palace: I don't want this. I'm just going to be rude to the Prince and enjoy the food until they kick me out.
America, two weeks later: Hmmmm. This isn't so bad. Maybe I do want this...? Maxon isn't all that bad.
Aspen: I'm BAAAAACK!
America: Oh, good Lord. NOW what do I do?
