I know who I'd love to see cast as Varik in a film version of BLOOD LAW. (No, there isn't one in the works. Yet.) However, I draw a blank when I start thinking of who to play Alex.

The closest I've been able to envision, based solely on appearance, is Scout Taylor-Compton (of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remakes).

Um, I think Peppermint Patty may be a bit on the "old" side to play Alex. Sorry, Vampy.

She'd have to dye her hair red though.

It's still a "maybe" for me.

(She played Abby in "Blade: Trinity.") Thoughts?

On the subject of possibly casting Jessica Biel as Alex, here are a couple of pics of her with Ben Barnes, who is my ideal Varik. Thoughts?

Ben and Jessica starred in a film together, "Easy Virtue." Don't know much about it, but here's a shot of them together:

I'd like to see a pic of Jessica a little edgier. The one of her in jeans, is close though.

Since you want to see an "edgier" Jessica, how about a pic of her in an outfit almost identical to the one "Alex" wears on the cover?
