What do you think about the cast in the upcoming movie, My Sister’s Keeper, due out next month (June 26)? Alec Baldwin as Campbell Alexander, Abigail Breslin as Anna, Sofia Vassilieva as Kate, Cameron Diaz as Anna and Kate’s mother, and Jason Patric as the Dad. (What about The Judge, Campbell’s dog?)
Have you read the book by Jodi Picoult? We recommend it and have copies in the Loft; if they’re not currently available, place a hold today!! We also have the book on CD, and a copy of the book in Spanish: Por La Vida de Mi Hermana.
I think Abigail Breslin will do a good job as Anna, but it seems from the trailers that she’s playing Anna as more silly and witty and out going, whereas in the book she seemed more introverted and serious. I think Alec Baldwin will make a really good Campbell, but I was surprised when I saw him in the role, because Campbell was a bit younger than Alec. I imagined the mom being completely different from Cameron Diaz, she’s decribed as having dark hair and she seems very tough and determined. I think all the actors will do a job, but known of them, except for maybe the girl playing Kate, match up exactly with what the characters in the books were like, but that’s just movies for you.
