Yeah, I just don't care for Sarandon. For Stephanie, I'd much rather see Marisa Tomei or someone like her that can pull off that Jersey girl accent and toughness.

If they'd made it ten years ago, Marisa could have pulled off late-20's. Unfortunately, she's just too old now. ITA though - someone like her would be great. I never had much of an opinion of Katherine Heigl until her last few movies. All she's capable of playing is high strung shrews. I definitely won't be seeing any more of her films, even if they make her Stephanie Plum. I couldn't bear to see her ruin a character I love.Quote:

Why do movie people feel the need to adapt every popular book, especially when they usually do such a crappy job?
In my opinion Critical, it's because they have run out of ideas of their own! They take the core of books we love and they bastardized them until they are barely recognizable then hawk it to the book lovers as the real McCoy. Buncha snake oil salesmen.
Wow - I sound like I'm 90. LMAO
I think M'onique would make an excellent Lula,lol.
Good call. I totally forgot about M'onique. She would be good.
Who are they going to get for Ranger? I hope they don't mess up with that casting like they did with Heigl. :(
I'd have much preferred an older Sandra Bullock or Marisa Tomei in that role.
Yeap, I see a more Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" type physique and brooding character.Quote:

Joe Flanigan from Stargate: Atlantis as Morelli.
Ohh I've always pictured a young "The Rock" as Ranger :D I like the idea of Kathryn Joosten as Grandma Mazur. But Betty White was so good as that type of character in The Proposal I think she'd be great too. I always thought Jennifer Esposito would have made a fabulous Stephanie, but she's too old now too. I actually don't mind KH, but she's definitely not Stephanie!...I'll go regardless of who they cast though, just 'cause I love the series.Quote:

Ditto on The Rock/Ranger - I've always pictured Ranger as a mix of The Rock and Ice T. I would never have thought of Betty White as the grandmother - that would be interesting.Quote:

GrandMa Mazur requires someone maybe like Cloris Leachman.
I always pictured Grandma Mazur as a combination of Betty White and Estelle Getty.
