"The Selection could premiere in early 2013, according to author Kiera Cass. The CW pilot - which has been compared to The Hunger Games - is to undergo reshoots, Cass revealed on her blog. &amp;quot;We are not on the fall schedule,&amp;quot; she confirmed. &amp;quot;And it turns out this is a good thing!  &amp;quot;The pilot, while very strong, wasn&amp;#039;t quite what people... thought it could be. But instead of dropping the show entirely, the CW plans to reshoot it.&amp;quot; Based on Cass&amp;#039;s teen novel, The Selection follows America (Aimee Teegarden), a poor young woman who is chosen by lottery to participate in a competition to become the next queen of a war-torn nation. &amp;quot;From what I understand, the writers and producers are staying, and Aimee will stay on as America for sure, but some of the characters might be replaced and the script might be reworked,&amp;quot; explained Cass.  &amp;quot;I have no clue and no say over who stays and goes, and I don&amp;#039;t know what they would change in the script.&amp;quot; Actors who appeared in the original Selection pilot included Sean Patrick Thomas (Ringer), Martin Donovan (Boss) and Ethan Peck (Gossip Girl). &amp;quot;If the pilot looks better the second time around, we might see the show air in mid-season,&amp;quot; Cass revealed. Pilots picked up by The CW for the 2012 fall season include superhero series Arrow and medical drama Emily Owens, MD. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
