Stephen White's new novel, The Siege, is in stores now. We think this book would make an excellent movie — it has a great plot, a fascinating location, many interesting characters, heart-stopping action, a stirring romance, and major suspense. With all of that in mind, we want to make you a casting director. Provide us with the perfect list of actors to play the key parts. We will pick the five best cast lists that suit the book and characters and send those five winning "casting directors" a signed Stephen White novel as a prize. We will also share the winning cast lists on the site.

E-mail your perfect cast list to Jane Davis by August 25, 2009. Include your name and mailing address. Feel free to explain why your cast list and choices are the best. The winners will be notified via email on August 26.

Which parts are you casting?
1. Sam Purdy
2. Ann Summers Calderon
3. Christopher L. Poe
4. Deirdre Drake
5. Christine Carmody
6. Joey Blanks

Have fun!

I think some of the ideas are brilliant (Ed Harris, hell yeah) but I still say Christopher Poe should be played by David Strathairn, on of the best and most under-appreciated actors of our time. I've watched him for years and he can do anything and has the intensity, the sadness and is physically right for the part.
