But Please NOT Natalie Portman for Claire.

I have loved all of the books in the series and I am studying costume design and making in London right now–looking to volunteer to work on the film, and nothing would be better than working on this series! But there is no production information/development to be found which is relatively current. I would think if it is due for a 2011 release, there would be more press, right? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Michelle

As for Jamie, he should be an actor from Scotland. A Scots accent is very difficult to replicate, as I always get a Scots accent and an Irish accent confused, and people will know. In my best wish for the movie, would a Scotsman during a war, when Claire shows up 300 years later.

Her supposed "last" book was very good, as usual, but now the story continued. And now, a very hopefully a movie in the works. Your fans are with you, Diana.

You could never please everyone with a movie… My thought is I love what HBO can do for a book series (ex/ Sookie Stackhouse books)… they could do a whole season or just a mini-series (Outlander is the one that NEEDS to be made!) of Outlander and not need to make it 'pg' the way a normal tv mini-series would have to. I really hope HBO somehow can manage to get their hands on the rights… I don't know how that works, maybe Essential can team up with them somehow?! But that would be my dream… an HBO series or mini-series…

As for casting… gosh that would be hard. I can think of no one to play Jaimie but I'd be accepting to whoever tried. I think of Rachel McAdams (Time Travelers Wife, The Notebook) or Rachel Weisz for Claire. And I think Jason Isaacs (bad guy from The Patriot) would be perfect for both Frank and Jonathan Randall (Always thought it would be fun for the same actor to play those characters as they look so much alike).

I find that I can get so lost in them that I sometimes forget to put the one I'm reading down to sleep, and often find myself checking the clock and finding out that it's 4 am and I've been reading for hours and have 2 hours to sleep before I have to go to work! As for making a movie, I'd love to see it, but my imagination has Kevin McKidd playing Jamie right now (of course I'm only on The Firey Cross), and my brain would be so disappointed to see someone else. Either way, I love the books so far and love to get lost in them! Thank you for writing them!

I'm afraid that the movie wont happen after all…
