Click through to see who we cast in "Gone Girl"! 

Nick: Garrett Hedlund is absolutely perfect to play the male lead. He certainly fits the criteria of being outrageously handsome yet nonchalant.

 

Amy: Felicity Jones, who starred in Like Crazy, would be a great casting choice. Of course, she'd have to dye her hair blonde, but otherwise her physique is completely in tune with the descriptions. She [...]

 

Amy: Felicity Jones, who starred in Like Crazy, would be a great casting choice. Of course, she'd have to dye her hair blonde, but otherwise her physique is completely in tune with the descriptions. She also happens to be a great actress -- and this could be her breakout role. 

 

Go (Nick's sister): Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund are dating in real life, so it may be a little strange to see them playing twins on the big screen, but she would be perfect as Go. 

 

Andie: Nick's college-age mistress is ditzy and flirty, and no one plays a ditz better than Amanda Seyfried. She could do a slightly updated take on her role as Karen in Mean Girls and absolutely kill it. 

 

Amy's Mother: Amy's mother would be best played by Susan Sarandon. 

 

Amy's Father: Yes, we want Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins reunited -- and what better way than playing a married couple? Aside from their history, Tim Robbins is also a great choice.

Forget Fifty Shades of Grey — the book of the summer is undoubtedly Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Seriously, good luck putting down this thriller. The story focuses on Nick and Amy Dunne, a married couple celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary. On the surface, these two have it all — but it’s not long before everything goes awry.  Amy goes missing and Nick quickly unravels in front of his small town, not to mention the police and the media.

While we won’t give away anything, we’ll tell you that it’s a must-read. Naturally, it’s already been optioned for a movie deal, with Reese Witherspoon set to produce. Because we can’t wait to see who makes the cut, we’ve decided to cast the movie ourselves. A special shout-out to Beauty High’s beauty director and resident literary expert Rachel Adler, who made this all possible. Hopefully Hollywood can learn something from us.
