Character Casting for ‘Center of Gravity’
Although I think everyone sees characters differently in the novels we read, I’m often asked who I’ve pictured while writing Center of Gravity. If the book was made into a movie, it’s also fun to think about which celebrities might play the main characters.
Here’s my cast for Center of Gravity:
Ava Carson – Emma Stone
Emma Stone is best known for her roles in The Amazing Spider-Man and Crazy, Stupid Love, and would play Ava in Center of Gravity.
She and her mother moved to LA, where she was home-schooled while auditioning. – IMBd
Mitchell Carson – Christian Bale
Bale is best known for his role in the Dark Knight (Batman)
Born as Christian Charles Philip Bale in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK in 1974, his mother was a circus performer and his father was a commercial pilot.
He earned his first Oscar in 2011 after The Fighter‘s critical and commercial success. Bale earned the Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal the brother to and trainer of boxer “Irish” Micky Ward, played by Mark Wahlberg. – IMBd
Graham Thomas – Chris Pratt
Pratt, who would play a lawyer new to Mobile, Ala., in Center of Gravity, was born in Virginia, Minnesota and grew up in Lake Stevens, Washington. He is married to fellow Washington State native, Anna Faris. His hobbies off the silver screen include fishing, hunting and working on cars.
Pratt played major supporting roles in several television series, including Parks and Recreation, and film roles in Moneyball and Zero Dark Thirty. In 2014, he starred as Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy. – IMBd

Carson was born on July 16, 2000, and would play Mitchell and Ava’s 8-year-old son in Center of Gravity.

Dr. Lucy Olsen – Carla Gugino
A major modeling agency discovered Carla in San Diego and sent her to New York to begin a new career when she was 15. Gugino soon returned to LA to do modeling and enrolled in acting classes.
