Who else agrees that if there ever was a live action film adaptation of Animorphs, "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively would be the perfect as Rachel?
Tony Goldwyn as Principal Chapman. Toobad Jay Baruchel istoo old to play Ax. He'd be perfect
Note: As I've said before, I'd prefer a live action TV adaptation (minus Lively who would be too busy with "Gossip Girl") rather than a movie or even a movie series.

I just hate how any pretty blonde girl is pinned as a candidate for playing Rachel. (I don't think Blake Lively is all that pretty anyway, but you know...)
You have to have the personality to play Rachel. Anybody can dye their hair.

Ah. But Lively not only has the looks (the blonde hair, the athletic, lean body) but also the acting chops to play the part. The voice in my head while reading the books was very different from Lively's nasaly voice (it's why I cast Amber Heard for the voice of Rachel) but other than that, she's perfect.

I don't think so.
What has she been in? The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and Gossip Girl. Those are the types of books I read on vacation, but this isn't Oscar-worthy material.

Shes too old, thats really all that needs to be said, but...
i only saw a few scenes of travelling pants and no gossip girl but she doesnt really have that darkness behind the pretty girl to pull it off, i dont know theres no real evidence that she couldnt do it but so far the only thing that makes her the perfect role is the blonde hair lol

::) Too old?
Look, I'm well aware that the Animorphs were 13 when they got their powers but let's not be naive enough to think that Hollywood won't make them at least 16-17 years old if a movie was ever made.

but she is like 20 something
edit: actually shes only 20, and we share a birthday haha so shes exactly a year older than me...i wonder if shes seeing anyone

your right Jay Baruchel would be perfect as Ax
