Interesting bits. I'm already scared of this adaptation (scared that I might not like it) but it really boils down to the SL and the acting.

The comic in the middle, I haven't read that version.

Betty & Veronica rule the covers of next week's comics!

[Swift2Potter]

Me too. It's new, haven't seen that yet.

A murder mystery. Giving me Nancy Drew vibes!

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

camila mendes began her acting career as a cranberry. The production was a third grade play, the turkeys go on strike, and, as mendes recalls, “i was taking the role so seriously, playing all sorts of emotions. I think that’s when i started to get a kick out of it because the audience was laughing, and people seemed to be enjoying my performance.” mendes is taking her newest role just as seriously. In riverdale, the cw’s dramatic reimagining of archie comics, the miami native plays veronica lodge, a snobby vixen whose large wealth is matched only by her attitude. But mendes insists this is the most connected she has felt to a character. “i had never felt more confident about a role and about playing a character than i had with veronica. I read the breakdown for this and i was like, she could not be closer to who i am. The moment lili reinhart found out she would be playing the iconic betty cooper, of archie comics fame, she was making herself a hot dog and curly fries. “i got the call and i was like, ‘oh my god!’ i started crying, and after i found out i ate my hot dog like a champion. It was one of the best days of my life.” the 19-year-old actress will be starring in riverdale, the cw’s gritty adaptation of the classic comic strip, and though reinhart didn’t grow up on them, she immediately read up and found ways to propel betty forward. “in the comic books she’s a pushover a little bit, she takes the backseat,” she says. “archie is a lot more interested in veronica, and betty is just hopelessly in love with archie, which is great, but the comics can come off a little misogynistic.” the show in general will be darker in tone than the oft-lighthearted comics, reinhart explains, and betty has evolved beyond the “damsel in distress” we’ve come to know since the comics premiered in 1941. “i want her to be stronger and not let people walk all over her,” reinhart says. “in the comic books, archie just kind of picks between each girl every other day. No girl wants to watch a girl on television be pulled apart by a guy every which way. You want a girl who doesn’t let someone do that to her.”

Thanks for that! I am excited to see the characters and how they are different from the comics.

Welcome to the campaign thread!



And some more cast announcements:




^ OH MY! She'll be playing Ethel who is head over heels in love with Jughead!!!!!! This is gonna be hilarious.

[KeepThisaSecret]

Does Jughead have a romantic relationship in the comics?

[L i N d $ @ y]

Only Ethel but in the comics, Jughead doesn't reciprocate the feelings. He's not really interested in girls and would rather eat and sleep.
