Hilary Duff has a very impressive resume. The mom-to-be is a TV star, movie star and a best-selling author. So with today's release of "Devoted," the follow-up to her debut novel, "Elixir," can we expect her novels to be turned into a movie? If it’s up to Hilary, the answer is yes!
"I would love to. I mean, it’s a huge dream of mine, and just from my past and where I came from I’m used to working on movies and reading scripts and that’s just where my head goes instantly when I’m writing," Hilary said. "I made this book very visual, the dream sequences and the flash backs are very romantic. I could just see doing really cool things to the film with wardrobe and all this stuff that my mind goes to. I think it’d be really cool, but I have a lot going on. There have been a few people interested in buying the rights which is very flattering, but if the right person came along, I’d definitely hope that would happen."
So. Hypothetically. If this movie were to happen, who could Hilary see playing young photographer Clea Raymond?
"I haven’t seen anyone that I think is perfect," Hilary said. "But I haven’t been doing any research either. She’s so perfect in my head, and it’s kinda like when you hear someone gets cast for a big movie and you’ve already read the series and you’re like, 'I don’t know,' you have your own thing in your mind. It might be like a newcomer... I’m talking about it like it's happening. I hope it happens."
We hope it happens too, Hilary! Yet, if she can’t find the perfect Clea, will she step into the role?
"I also wouldn’t want to play the main character. She’s 17, she’s a lot younger than me and kind of not what I want for my future is just different," Hilary said. "But there’s a part that comes in the second book called Sloan, and she’s like a badass, like, grungy greasy girl. She’s in a group that’s against Clea, but she’s fighting for a cause that is for her people. She has a little bit of a heart, but she’s kinda cutthroat. She’s like this tattooed blond chick that’s in charge of all these men, and I think that might be a lot of fun."
