Casting Call: 'The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter'
"The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter" by Theodora Goss is a fun story for lovers of fantasy in the vein of Libba Bray and all things gothic horror. This is the story of the daughters of those famous literary figures and how they come together to solve a crime on the streets of London. According to Variety, The CW is developing the book into a drama series. Below I present my humble opinions on who could be cast in the lead roles.
Emilia Jones as Diana Hyde, Mary's fiery younger sister and sometimes street urchin
Deva Cassel as Beatrice Rappacini aka The Poisonous Girl from Italy; beautiful but dangerous
Miranda Richardson as Mrs. Poole, the loyal guardian of our misfit girls
Charlie Cox as Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective
Himesh Patel as Dr. Prendick, a scientist who gets in over his head
