Stephanie Plum

So I had a little free time…

This collage is based on the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. I’m currently up to Hot Six (Book 6 for those of you unfamiliar with Evanovich’s creative titling).

Here’s the thing, my original concept was a collage of all the main characters, but that would entail a major internet search and like I said, I had a “little” free time and I needed to spend what was left of that time getting a life.

Then I thought about doing a “Morelli—Stephanie—Ranger love triangle.” I had envisioned The Rock as Ranger, but I couldn’t find any suave Rock pictures outside of WWE publicity photos and The Scorpion King (gagth me with a spoon). The WWE photos bought back cringe-worthy memories of my childhood years spent as a crazed pro wrestling fan, not realizing until I was 15 that it was all fake. And to think I begged my parents to spring for Pay-Per-View so I could watch The Rock lay the smackdown on all those unworthy jabronis on ‘King of the Ring.’ Nobody wants to be reminded of how slow they are…

Then it dawned on me that I spent roughly 15 mins searching for Rock pictures, which made me feel even sorrier for myself.

For those of you familiar with the Stephanie Plum novels, you should recognize her 1953 Powder Blue Buick, Rex the Hamster (I couldn’t find one in a soup can so I settled for a hamster in a soup dish…eh…good enough), Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, Marisa Tomei as Stephanie Plum, and Hugh Jackman as Joe Morelli. I also included a leather jacket (she wore one at one point in her bounty hunting career) and some sexy shoes because I’m convinced Morelli has a shoe fetish.

For those of you unfamiliar with the novel, I’m going to have a hard time explaining how a hamster, a revolver, a sexy man, and sexy shoes fit together.

You must presume this is random.

You must think I’m weird.

Fabulous!! I spend a ‘little’ time trying to figure out who would play the main characters in a movie. I know she’s a bit older than Steph, but I always figured Sandra Bullock. Marisa Tomei just might work, too. I think the Morelli needs to reek Italian. The Rock is my Ranger, too, even though he’d need the black, straight hair. Wait, I’m supposed to be working now!!!!

Beth:
Thanks!
For Stephanie Plum, I go back and forth between Sandra Bullock and Marisa Tomei. I settled on Marisa because her performance in My Cousin Vinny reminded me of Steph. Although I’m not settled on Hugh Jackman as Morelli, he seems to be the popular choice among fans right now, and that picture of him in in the teal t-shirt with the five o’clock shadow defintely says Morelli…at least to me anyways.

I can’t say I would have thought of Hugh Jackman as Morelli, but now that you mention it . . . the idea does have potential!

Great collage. I really like Hugh Jackman as Morelli. =) They have such an amusing relationship. I love the whole Steph - Joe - Ranger love triangle, too. Who would you chose?

I would definitely pick Morelli because we know more about him and he could banter with the best of them. I’m currently on Seven Up right now, so Ranger is a mystery man. In a perfect world, Steph could have them both….

I enjoyed your post and collage, T Y. I, too, am a recent convert to the Stephanie Plum series. I think Hugh Jackman is a great choice for Joe Morelli. As for Ranger, check out actor Edgar Ramirez in Vantage Point and The Bourne Ultimatum. I think he’d make a fabulous Carlos Manoso!

I just finished reading Fearless Fourteen, Janet Evanovich’s latest Stephanie Plum novel, and was searching the web for updates on movie rumors for Stephanie Plum; when I came across your posting and thought that I would give my two cents worth, and also let you know that I too enjoyed your posting and collage. I agree with your assessment that Marisa Tomei would be a great Stephanie Plum, but as for The Rock being Ranger he doesn’t fit at all. THINK a long the lines of Jon Seda from Homicide: Life on the streets, he’s sexy as hell with short hair and a pony tail and he’s Cuban American. For Joe Morelli I could see Hugh, but I’m not in love with the idea, I was looking at maybe Victor Webster or Eddie Cibrian from Third Watch (if you don’t know who I’m talking about look them up on imdb.com.) As for Lula the only person who could play her is Mo’Nique she is Lula to a T. Joe Pesci would be cousin Vinnie and as for Connie, Debi Mazar would be great. I hope that they announce
something soon as to if they will be doing a movie.
