Hey quick question, if there were to be a book to screen adaptation of masterminds, which actors would you want for the roles? Like which ones would you think would be perfect for the roles of Tori, Eli, Malik, and Amber? (Also, is there a possibility for a masterminds tv show or movie in the future? Just asking hehe)

Hi, Iqra Ali,

Thanks for posting. I haven't the slightest notion of who might be cast in the roles of the lead characters if MASTERMINDS makes it to the screen. It's just not my field. And yes, there is a possibility. There is a very famous film company in possession of the film rights even as we speak. So keep your fingers crossed if you're a fan of MASTERMINDS!

If it’s possible I hope that you choose in the casting even if it’s jsut a little input. Because after all, you are the author so it would be cool if the author chose the casting.

Iqra Ali,

Thanks, but it's better if the writer sticks to writing, and the film people do the rest. Everyone is entitled to their own expertise, right? Right. -----Gordon Korman-----
