Oh my. I leave the boards for a day and return to many conversations going on at once, lol.

I think Jill just needs to look as though she matches Will. (whomever said it) Yes, I agree, she should have some womanly features that show a little maturity because Will has matured so much since the filming began. I don't care what her age is, but I think it will be easier to find a girl within the ages of 15-19... maybe 20 if you're really willing to push the envelope... I really don't feel that they should cast anyone younger than 15 to play Jill, though).

American accent? Interesting concept that could work well for them, but I think they should stick to the British accents the other characters have (even Caspian's accent changed to british XD) As far as casting an American girl? I'm open to the idea, but feel she needs to be something astounding

I want to be amazed by Jill's actress; she should have a simplistic beauty about her. I would like to see Jill Pole with wavy hair and if they want to curl it for some scenes, then they can do that and I wouldn't mind.

Acting? Unknown is best, imo. Remember, Will did have one movie under his belt, so I wouldn't mind if she had a movie under her belt also. however, I think any more than that and there's a little too much known about an actress already, so I would prefer to see someone unknown. As long as she's passionate about her character I think her acting ability would shine through. The casting directors haven't been wrong about the actors/actresses whom they've selected thus far and I trust their judgement.

wow... sorry, lol, I just wanted to give my input on the subjects as well, haha XD carry on! lol.

So right now Jill is looking like this:
golden hair/light brown, hazel eyes, natural wavy hair, no curls, between the ages of 12 and 20 ( as long as she looks like 15/16 ) and a very good actress.

That sound about right. I think if they cast her with this look then the audience should be amazed. But really do we have a say in who they cast as Jill?

I'd imagine we'd have a little as Narnia's fans, but not much....

Somebody in NW's comments page said Eliza Bennet might be a good choice. She doesn't have wavy hair, but she's blonde (which I think is refreshing: no brown at all like Will M and Georgie and Susan and Skander, just blonde) and there's something about her face I like. I don't know. She's been in Inkheart as a main character, so you could see she can act. For most of the movie there's something stubborn in her face. Jill-ish.

What do you all think? I'm not sure, beacause she might be a little too well known...?

Somebody suggessted Dakota Blue Richards. I like her, but I'm afraid that people will assossiate Narnia with the Golden Compass if she's cast as Jill.

She´s really pretty! But my opinion: a bit to old looking, I looked at her, and I thought she was 25/26 or something! And she´s only 18/19!

Could someone post a picture, please?

Here:

She looks kind of old to play Jill.

I know. I was exepting someone like a mini abigail breslin ( age look )

I too think she looks too old to play Jill but her eyes are very Jill-ish!

To get back to the question of open casting call vs. professional actresses only, I personally think that they should have an open call. There are a lot of people who have no acting experience that are willing to commit to acting and put in the long hours of hard work. I would love to play Jill myself. I have wavy golden hair, blue eyes (I know, not the right colour, but still), and I'm sixteen, though I look about seventeen. I'm from America, but I can do a perfect British accent (I'm not trying to sound haughty, don't get me wrong. I've just been practicing since I was about ten). I have school acting experience, but mostly I practice at home. I sincerely hope they have an open call, because I would love to audition.

Yes, I really hope they do open auditions!

So how do you picture Jill,, Wonderful_Jill_Pole0318? I mean, if it isn't you, what have you always pictured? And how does Jill act, what's her character? Chemistry with Eustace (I mean how they get along, not hinting at a Eustace + Jill romance BTW )

wonderful jill if you want some opinions from other narnia webbers post to virtual casting review

and i think they should have open auditions because that widens there surch to see a lot more potential girls

Well I'm not sure if the mods are okay with this or not but I thought it would be cool if we could see how fellow NarnaWebbers picture this iconic young lady!

Please pick only one hair color, one hair feature and one eye color. Some have been grouped together do to having only 10 possible poll options, so please explain. And if other, please explain.

This is hard but I'd have to say brunette, though maybe dirty blond. And curly hair (*edit* I meant wavy!). And blue eyes. I think I may be picturing JillPoleFan565, as I'd usually have said hazel or brown, probably.

Well, what do you think?

IDK, but I always thought that jill was like this, and I hope she looks like this:
Hair: Golden Blond
Eyes: Green/Hazel
Type of hair: wavy
Age: 12 - 18
Age look: 15/16

Even me, I would love to auditon as Jill. I also have golden blond hair, greenish hazel eyes, wavy hair, I´m 13 but I look like someone like 16, because of my height, and face. Still, I´m shorter than Will P.
