Like significantly less smaller than the other kids in genius squad.

After all Cadel did grow up in Australia. I liked the video editing + effects but I agree, bad acting in some bits. And the brown hair dude playing Cadel really sucks at acting and does not look like Cadel at all.

He uses his brain to escape from the cops and all. The actor acting as cadel is tall, physically fit, and well let&#39;s just say the total opposite from what I have read in the books. Why is there an asian dude in the trailer? Is he suppose to be hamish? Mr. saul doesn&#39;t look too old to me. The twins are ok. The clearview house is too small in the trailer and well the war room is huge. Remember when the kids have to transfer since Saul is staying in the house? They remove their equipments to a van so that they can cont. on what they are doing. Mrs. Jinks if ur reading this, I highly suggest not to make it into a movie, if it&#39;s horribly directed like that...Mark Nudalohttp://www.myspace.com/marknudz231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-69788455797539096092009-07-02T08:38:13.158-07:002009-07-02T08:38:13.158-07:00That was a horrible trailer, I didnt see hamish, lexi or devin in that group of kids.. <br />and why is cadel shirtless?snakessnakesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-43591745382597871752009-06-27T16:09:20.746-07:002009-06-27T16:09:20.746-07:00Aaaaaah. That was some bad acting there. I always imagined Saul as older, though, and was that Fiona with Sonja? <br />Anyway, it would be so great if this was made into a movie. xD <br />And what&#39;s up with their accents? Isn&#39;t everyone (except Saul) Australian? Why is Cadel&#39;s accent American?<br />And their clothes could use some work, too. The book&#39;s still awesome, though, so this should be made into a movie.

Cadel was seven at the beginning of the book, and thirteen through most of it and fourteen at the end. Genius Squad is set three years later making him seventeen.

In the book, (I have it right here in front of me,) it says he has CHESTNUT CURLS and blue eyes! Not once does it even SUGGEST that he has blond hair! I do agree that the actor chosen to play Cadel in the trailer didn't really look young, small, or girly enough.

The big thing negative would probably be that you can tell you had a low budget for this, but it's definitely understandable.

It was horrible. thank god i read the books first, 'cause if i would have seen that trailer there would be know way i would have read the books. since when did cadel look like zac efron? and being shirtless, come-on. he's a genius no a ambercrombie and fitch model. and lexi, i know she's punk/goth looking but the trailer made her look like a wannabe emo. to put it simply, get a cast that at lease looks simular to the characters in the book. I think your eather over thinking the characters and plot or you just skimed through the book. if you did, please, for the sake of all that like the books, acually read the books!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-3608565161685432432009-04-02T08:39:00.000-07:002009-04-02T08:39:00.000-07:00I think it's neat that there are now video previews for books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954089410160856120.post-15435180618402842142009-03-24T18:32:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:32:00.000-07:00not the best acting but pleezzz read the books.
