#yes i mean farley alone thinking about shade and their baby without the filter of another character you know me

I’ve always been wary of a Red Queen movie but while re-reading King’s Cage, I noticed that Aveyard’s writing is so cinematic and imaginative about its settings on its own that a movie born just from her words started to run in my head. So, as much as I dislike the prospective director Elizabeth Banks, it would be enticing to see the story written like a movie actually become a movie.

I’m afraid of a movie turning into a cheesy action piece with bad or overdone special effects. But a movie paying more attention to the characters than the action, with a more calm, natural and yet strange aesthetic would be wonderful. I don’t want CGI battles and landscapes, I want something artfully shot on location.

Imagine the Ridge House architecture p*rn. Evangeline’s dresses. The beauty of Whitefire turning into dread. The cold and uncertainly of the Scarlet Guard bases. The depression of the Choke, the danger and chaos of the battle scenes. The sudden peace and safety at the Piedmont Base where you can almost smell the vegetation. A montage from the end of chapter 3, where Samson tortures Mare by making her relive her memories in rewinding slow motions, to the beginning of chapter 4 where Cameron wakes from a nightmare about the same events.

And those are only the more visual things, think of the emotional scenes, the love stories, the desperation translated into pictures. Imagine insightful shots of characters without POVs in the book!
