I just saw a preview for the movie of this!  I didn't know Abigail Breslin was in it...  She's such a great little actress!  That makes me excited to see it, cause it looks like they did a good job making it.

Originally Dakota Fanning was playing Kate but then she backed out because she didn't want to be in a movie where she had no hair.

Also the ending in the movie is different, test audiences found the original ending to not be 'happily ever after' enough.

I didn't realize Cameron Diaz was going to be the mom, I thought she was going to be the guardian person for some reason...

I'm not sure how I feel about Cameron Diaz being mom. She's too sunshine and roses for me. And i'm stil annoyed they are changing the ending. Someone better die.

I don't understand why they would change the ending, I would be pissed if I was Jodi Picoult!

I know! I wouldn't let them change my ending. It won't be realistic if everyone lives. Maybe they'll kill off Cameron Diaz lol

Jodi Picoult said she didn't know about it until they were already changing it, but she could only figure that movie audiences were looking for something different than book audiences.

Oh, I know I will too!

I looked at the people playing the characters on IMDB and none of them matched the image in my mind.  The most shocking was Campbell...at first, before we got a lot on his background in the novel, I imagined him looking something like Warren Sapp! Ha!

Yeah, it's weird that Alec Baldwin is playing him. I still hate Tom Hanks in the Dan Brown movies! LOL He doesn't fit either.

I just watched the trailer... so yeah... like the only thing I saw that matched up with the book was Anna suing her family. 

And Alec Baldwin for real?  All I can think of when I see his face is the phone call of him screeching at his daughter... that "thoughtless little pig"...  :crazy:

Yeah, I disapprove of changing the ending too, but I still want to see it.  I love a good tearjerker movie... even if it has a happy ending?
