If it could be done in a fitting manner, The Night Circus would be absolutely stunning. It would need to be a film and you'd have to have someone artistic like Guillermo del Toro - though not necessarily him - to direct it. When I read books I don't imagine them with a specific cast in mind; the freedom to imagine the landscape and the characters as information comes across little by little is the best possible thing about a book for me.
One must would be though that Celia be played by an American and Marco someone English. Bad accents or having to try harder than necessary to envision a character rather throws me off.
I'm sort of imagining a cutout (stop-motion) animation title that bleeds into the opening scene. I could go on, but, you get the idea.
Okay that sounds awesome. I love whole "cutout (stop-motion) animation title that bleeds into the opening scene" part!!

Hopping through. I thought Celia was British too. I can't remember.

I've never read the Night Circus, but from your description, it sounds like it would be a GREAT movie to watch!

Omg LOOOOVE your idea! For the record, Erin Morgenstern has said that the movie HAS been optioned, and maybe even that a screenwriter is attached... (we forget! don't hold us to that!) so it seems like a Night Circus movie is a definite possibility.
