I have come to legit hate the Hollows sooo much, so very, very much, but ...


This picture is almost enough to make me cry about the fact that the series will never be made into a movie and/or television show because I'll never get to see Maggie Q play Ivy (or as I like to think of this perfect blend of hotness ... Ivy Q).

Fucking Flawless.

I still find it interesting that of all the urban fantasy books picked up for tv shows/movies, Harrison's books still remain untouched. Because, as much as I've become disinterested in the books, I'd still like to see them onscreen.

Like, ever since you suggested Maggie Q as Ivy I can't see *anyone* else in the role. And then I think about Bridget Regan as Rachel.. hopefully rewritten enough so she's not so dumb and it's like I've found my Hollows Happy Place!

Honestly, I'm surprised I've never heard talk about it either. It's got a good premise, and the vampires/witches/demons thing is really hot right now. Plus, the way its set up makes it really easy for a serialized show. They could have an over-all season arc while still having case-of-the-week episodes. The premise is really good for a TV show.

Despite how much I've come to hate the books, I'd be really happy about a tv show being made, because I think that in the right hands the show could fix/avoid what I've come to hate about the books.

Kind of like how I hate Terry Goodkinds "Sword of Truth" books, but I LOVED Legend of the Seeker. I think that a Hollows show could cut out the stupid bits of the books and expand on the awesome parts of it. Plus, they couldn't possibly make Rachel stupider or more annoying so there's only one direction to go, up.

Bridget Regan is my head!Rachel, and she'd be great on a TV show version because she's so incredibly likable and sympathetic. I feel like she could make my feel for Rachel and her stupid plights in a way Harrison hasn't been able to make me for a LONG time.

The only downside would be that Maggie Q wouldn't be able to play Ivy because of Nikita (which I would find a way to deal with because I love Nikita). I wouldn't even mind Ivy Q looking like a midget next to Bridget Regan's Rachel.

*sigh* Why is it that everything that excites me about the Hollows-verse (a TV show, Ravy) will never happen?
