Can Kellan Lutz Bite Into A John Steinbeck Classic Film Project

The sight of Kellan Lutz holding a poodle (I think) generated an idea for the perfect film vehicle for the Eclipse actor where he can make use of his tall muscled build while proving his acting chops at the same time. Kellan Lutz can play the simple minded Lennie Small from the John Steinbeck classic Of Mice and Men :)

Kellan Lutz definitely fits the part physically because of his height and physique alone, but, what will make it very exciting for any actor to play Lennie Small is the challenge of the psychological make-up of a strong gigantic man who can be innocent like a child and yet be capable of murderous violence. Here’s a description of the Lennie Small character:

Lennie Small. A gigantic, mentally disabled man, Lennie is simplistic and docile. He obsesses over simple sensory pleasures, particularly finding great joy in touching soft things, whether a cotton dress or a soft puppy.

Although Lennie is inherently innocent, he is still capable of great violence, for he lacks the capacity to control himself physically and has a great protective instinct, especially when it comes to his friend, George.

Lennie dreams with George of having a small piece of land; he is obsessed with one aspect of this dream: having a small rabbit hutch where he can tend rabbits. Lennie is incapable of making decisions by himself and relies on George entirely.

Now, who can play George Milton opposite Kellan Lutz’s Lennie Small? :)

Oh, please let me be clear that this is just wishful thinking on my part. There is NO John Steinbeck Of Mice and Men film project being casted as of the moment. I just really think Kellan Lutz should go all out to be cast for the part just in case somebody decides to produce Of Mice and Men in the near future. ;)
