Guest JenniFOO Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 excited much? Official promotional stills from the 'Gossip Girl' TV show Based on the popular book series of the same name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged teenagers on an elite private school in New York City. The story is written by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and directed by Mark Piznarski who has worked on series like Everwood and Veronica Mars. Surface's Leighton Meester and Accepted's Blake Lively have taken the lead roles in this drama series. They will play Blair and Serena respectively, rich Manhattan rivals at a private school in New York. The last additions to this new CW drama are Misconceptions Taylor Momsen, The Covenant's Chace Crawford and The Bedford Diaries's Penn Badgley. Their characters are Momsen as Jenny a 14 year-old and shy girl, Nate the good looking boyfriend of Blair, and Dan the secret admirer of Serena. E-Ring's Kelly Rutherford and The Jury's Florencia Lozano have both been cast as the mothers of lead roles Serena and Blair. Rutherford will play the mother of Serena van der Woodsen (Lively's character), a former ballerina and rock groupie. Meanwhile Lozano was cast as Eleanor Waldorf the mother of Blair Waldorf (Meester's character). World Trade Center's Conner Paolo has been cast as Serena's brother, Eric van der Woodsen, Afterlife's Ed Westwick has been cast as Chuck Bass, and Brothers and Sisters' Matthew Settle has been cast as Jenny and Dan's father, Rufus Humphrey. Clips from the show: http://cwtv.com/video?vid=gossipgirl Thanks tracycutie! So what do you guys think? I'm pretty interested in seeing how they portray the books onto TV. I admit, reading GG is a guilty pleasure. lol I'm okay with the actors and actresses they chose to play out the characters. Its just Jenny & Nate's that I'm not down with. The rest of the boys are cute though Credits 1, 2, The CW, photobucket & I for uploading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a Kismet Moment Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Oh my!! This looks sooo good already. I think the casting of Blair, Serena, and Dan are PERFECTTT. But I don't quite agree with Jenny. Doesn't she have um Double Ds? And also, I always envisioned her to be innocent and vulnerable. This chick looks like she has an edge to her or something. Oh well, I guess I'll have to watch to really judge. AND WHAT THE HECK AT NATE???? He's supposed to be A&F model yumminess!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steph*funny Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Whoa, Blake Lively...I remember her from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Ahah I admit I liked these books at one stage of my life Oh and the guy playing Nate looks possessed in the pic.

Guest xiaochingu. Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 haha..this show is gonna be so dramatic i didnt expect the cw to take the show though.... i havent kept up with the series... and nate is uglier than i expected... dan.....looks not as smart as i expected... and jenny...well the book describes her to be BIG boobed or something... and i always pictured her with drak hair... but this jenny looks really pretty... im not sure about other people..but when i read the book i tend to get super pissed at the characters..theyre just so MEAN to eachother... their world almost seems surreal to me... anyways..i cant wait for the show!

Guest JenniFOO Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah, I expected something different out of Jenny. Like you guys said, the book described her to have a pretty voluptuous figure, but TV Jenny looks so petite and...not so voluptuous. lWhen I read the book, I pictured Jenny to be a bit chunkier, with curly dark hair and again, big boobs. And she looked really innocent and kind of naive. But TV Jenny looks like shes cut out for the real world. lol But who knows, maybe the actress will surprise us. & Nate. Geh. I pictured him to be much better looking. For some reason, I pictured a Jesse McCartney with darker & a little bit longer hair. I think Dan is such a cutie. But I've always imagined him to be a bit more scruffier. lol The girl that's playing Blair is absolutely perfect in my eyes. Pretty much exactly how I'd imagine her. And shes so gorgeous! So pale. haha And Blake is perfect for Serena too. I loved her in Accepted & Rufus. Man. For a sort of old guy, he's pretty darn handsome haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest losborrachos Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 emm not so excited... i've followed the book since it first came out but i think i've outgrown it (esp. since ghostwriters came in)... and they're changing so many things from the book and omit characters that i actually like, so... i'm still hoping it'll turn out good... i think the casting's pretty good, aside from the fact that erik's supposed to be the hottest guy in the world and now he's a little kid...

Guest cannedpeaches Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 i think they cast serena right, but blair doesn't look bitchy or sophisticated enough. and nate does not look hot!! wasn't that actor (chace crawford) in the covenant? he looked reallly hot there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
