Jessica Berry asked Dorian Box:

I loved The Hiding Girl, and I just have to know: Who would you picture playing Emily and Lucas in the movie or limited series version?

Dorian Box Hi Jessica - First of all, thank you so much! It's such an interesting question because I do picture The Hiding Girl as a movie or the Emily Calby Series as a limited video series. My very first thoughts would require time travel. Dakota Fanning comes to mind as Emily when she was around Emily’s age, although she’d have to go through a rigorous physical training program. But she was such a marvelous actor who could capture Emily’s fears and innate sense of innocence, as well as her determination and disintegrating psyche. As for Lucas, maybe a much larger and younger Terrence Howard from his “Hustle and Flow” days. “Hustle and Flow” was, in fact, filmed in Memphis and captured the grittiness of the setting perfectly. In fact, let’s throw in Craig Brewer as director! How about you? Any thoughts on current candidates?
