There’s a movie adaptation of Scythe ahead of us. Yep, the science-fiction young adult novel written by Neal Shusterman is going to be adapted into a feature film by Universal Pictures. Scriptwriters Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken (who wrote the script of 10 Cloverfield Lane) have been hired to pen a screenplay.
Plot synopsis:
“A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequence of failure could mean losing their own.”
Here’s a trailer for the book:
Scythe – Book trailer
Let’s the hope the film adaptation will be faithful to the novel it’s based on. Who you you think could play Citra and Rowan?
There’s no official release date yet.
Stay tuned with us for more details about the movie Scythe.
:)
Citra: Aimee teegarden
Rowan: Matt lanter
rowan – Uriah Shelton
citra – victoria Moroles or Sarah Jeffery
Faraday: Colm Feore
Citra: Michelle Veintimilla
Curie: Jane Lynch
Rowan: I am still thinking on this one – however my daughter thinks that he is: Jordan Fisher
citra – kat Graham
rowan- dylan o’brian
Citra- Mila Kunis
Rowan-Josh Hutchinson
Curie- Dame Judie Dench
rowan – Rhys Matthew bond
Citra – Bailee Madison
my money is on alita battle angel ,everybody loves a pretty droid girl that can fight back.
Rowan could be Dylan O’Brien from maze runner he shows a lot of love and compassion in that movie but in America Assassin he shows the ruthlessness that Rowan has towards the end of the book
Citra could be Daisy Ridley she shows really good empathy towards people in Star Wars and I think she could carry a really good michy attitudelike citra does in the beginning of the book
I think Zoe Kravitz would make a great Citra (Christina from “Divergent”)
Or Vanessa Hudgens.
Maybe they are a bit old for the role (both nearly 30), but it’s not uncommon that teenage characters are played by much older actors.
For Rowan I’d love Brenton Thwaites. He was great in “The Giver”. He’s already in his late 20s, too, though.
I have a little clue because Citra is a common name in Indonesia or India so she can’t be cast as a sweet white girl with blonde hair. I’ve pictured her as a brunette with face as strong and sassy as her character this whole time:D and Rowan, I agree some people here mentioned Dylan O’Brien
HI. Was this ever made into a movie? I’ve been searching and can’t find it anywhere.
Please advise. Thank you. Francesca
The movie will be released sometime after the third book
I’m sure of one thing—Scythe Faraday HAS to be George Clooney
Citra- Liv Hewson
Rowan- uuuuuh
Faraday- George Clooney
Curie- Helen Mirren
Goddard- Adam Dahlberg
Citra – gadot
faraday – Harrison Ford
rowen – Tom Holland
When is it gonna be a movie tho???
Hear me out. Liam Neeson has to play Farday. Dylan O’Brien or Tom Holland could play Rowan. And Tessa Thompson could play Citra.
I just finished the first book and am now reading the second can’t wait for the third but I really want to know when the movie is going to get made.
Harrison ford for Faraday, maybe George clooney
rowan, tom Holland maybe dylan O’brien
citra daisy ridley
I really dont care who plays Rowan or Citra but Scythe Michael Faraday is played by Alexander Skarsgard.
Curie could be scarlet johansson
Xenocrates could be John goodman cause who doesnt love him or if you remember Mr. Tiny from vampires assistant Michael Cerveris
Citra: Mackenzie Foy
Rowan: Rhys Matthew Bond
I feel like Julianne Moore would make a perfect Scythe Curie. AnnaSophia Robb a great Citra. Rowan is more difficult because more people fit him. My list (in no particular order) for Rowan is Tom Sturridge, Josh Hutcherson, or Cole Sprouse. Faraday could be Christian Bale. Goddard could be Tim Curry.
Music by Arvo Part and Philip Glass.
Citra- Jennifer Lawrence
rowan- idk
Actually i think
jennifer lawrence and josh hutcherson
Does anyone know when the auditions will be and if there will be any?!
i still don’t know when the movie adaption is coming out or if it already came out if not when is it supposed to come out
I looked through a few of the suggestions and I think some people forget that Citra is 37% Afric, so that means most probably an African American should star as Citra. I was thinking maybe Zendaya? And for Rowan, he’s supposed to be a pale (but strong) boy with dark hair. So maybe Dylan O’Brien or Cole Sprouse? Just an opinion though, but I think it makes sense.
Citra – Zendaya
Rowan – Dylan O’Brien or Cole Sprouse
Faraday – still thinking
Curie – still thinking
Goddard – still thinking
I also think Dylan would play Rowan well because he’s starred in another Dystopian film, The Maze Runner, so I feel he’ll play Rowan well. Plus he was in American Assassin also. But Cole Sprouse would play Rowan well also. And Zendaya is amazing I’m sure she can pull off being Citra.
Citra – Zendaya
Rowan – Dylan O’Brien or Cole Sprouse
rowan – DEFINITELY DYLAN O’BRIEN he is awesome or Hero Fiennes Tiffin (possibly theo james tho…)
Citra – Zoe Kravitz
Tyger – Thomas Brodie Sangster looks-wise (without the mustache), but crazy (unless playing crank newt counts), cool, and wild doesn’t really seem like him
Faraday – Harrison Ford or George Clooney
Scythe Curie – (based on other peoples answers) Dame Judi Dench
Xenocrates – Maybe Kevin James, idk though…
Goddard- Ansel Elgort, maybe when he is older though, the movie is taking so long he’ll be the right age when they start the auditions :P Maybe Tyler Posey though
Scythe Volta – Keiynan Lonsdale when he is older
Also, WHY R U ALL SAYING JOSH HUTCHERSON WILL BE A GOOD ROWAN. That guy is totally sweet and awesome. He could NOT be rowan, he doesn’t even look like him, or at least how I imagine him. I really hope Dylan O’Brien is rowan, just as long as he doesn’t have the beard.
@anonymouspotato: Yes you can villainize Ansel Elgort but making him so evil that he is Scythe Goddard is just wrong.
Done. A follow up of owen’s idea.
Rowan: Keiynan Lonsdale
Citra: Daisy Ridley
I think the following actors/actresses should be in the movies:
Citra: Kiersey Clemons
Rowan: Timothée Chalamet
Scythe Faraday: Brad Pitt
Scythe Curie: kate hudson
Thunderhead: Morgan Freeman
Oscar Isaac would be a dead-on Goddard.
@Nick: I agree, Oscar Isaac would be a great Goddard, and I change my choice for Faraday. He should be played by Liam Neeson. He’s SO bad ass even though he’s getting old.
clara: ariel winter
rowan: chris colfer
scythe faraday: robert downy jr./brad pitt
thunder head: morgan freeman/sam elliot
People stop with all the white girls playing Citra! Citra is black or mixed, read the book carefully people! In the beginning Rowan asked her what her ethnic percentage, and her highest one was African or Black. I think Citra should be someone like Jaylen Barron, China Anne McClain, or Zendaya.
Citra- Zendaya
Rowan- Tom holland or that guy from maze runner
Faraday-harrison ford or RDJ
Curi- Scarlet johanson
Godard- an actor that can play a good D-bag
thunderhead- Margan Freeman or Sir David Attenborough (the guy who narrates planet earth)
