Elle & Dakota Fanning Join 'My Sister's Keeper'

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

New Line Cinema has set siblings Dakota and Elle Fanning to star with Cameron Diaz in "My Sister's Keeper," the Nick Cassavetes-directed adaptation of the Jodi Picoult novel. Production begins this March in Los Angeles.

Elle Fanning will play a young girl who sues for emancipation from her parents. Mom and Dad conceived her as a genetic match with the hope she could prolong her cancer-ridden sister's life.

This is my favorite book but the actresses chosen to portray the roles are completly wrong. i see the mum as an older woman as she only had the youngest daughter once she found out the older one was ill so there would be a bigger age gap between all of the characters than there will be. I also dont think it is right to lower the ages of the girls as a girl of that age wouldn't have the guts to say this is wrong and to take her parents to court. i think that cameron diaz and the fanning sisters are completly wrong for this role and they should recast the move.

I agree. It would seem more appropriate for Joan Cusack to play the role of the mother. And Alec Baldwin as the lawyer?? I really like him but I see Campbell A. as a much younger man. The girls should def. be older. Even the new casting seems wrong, though I am a big fan of Abigail Breslin.
