Sa nasabing video, unang pinasalamatan ni Hoover ang kaniyang ina na siyang naging inspirasyon niya sa kuwento ng nasabing nobela.
“The fact that we are now discussing a movie that’s made from a book that was loosely inspired by my mother is bittersweet,” ani Hoover.
“Anyway, I didn't mean for this to turn into a sobfest. Our Lily is going to be played by Blake Lively. Blake Lively, y’all. She’s my dream Lily,” pahayag pa nito.
Matatandaang nauna nang bumida ang nasabing American actress sa iba’t ibang serye o pelikula tulad ng Gossip Girl at The Age of Adaline.
Samantala, naging excited din si Hoover nang ianunsyong ang gaganap na bidang lalaki ay ang American actor at filmmaker na si Justin Baldoni na matatandaang bumida sa Jane the Virgin.
“I just thought that he had what it takes to play that character, and the good news is he’s gonna be Ryle,” ani Hoover.
“I think that Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively have what it takes to bring these characters to life.”
